If you're going with someone from the legendary "gently caress it, people really like the UNC team that just won a title, right?" draft I feel like it needs to be Sean May. Hahaha do you guys remember that time Sean May was a lottery pick? Oh man. That was so much fun.

I feel like Big Al's one good season qualifies him as the best Bobcat of all time. Second place would be Michael Jordan when he schools rookies in practice.

Am I allowed to be upset at Utah for drafting Deron Williams over Chris Paul that year or is that just being greedy in a draft where Marvin Williams went 2nd?BIZORT posted:I remember there was a preseason where Primoz Brezec was dropping threes everywhere and people thought he was this hidden gem that was going to murder the NBA Someone had to spend a solid like 10 minutes talking me putting actual money on Marco Bellinelli being rookie of the year after one crazy summer league game. Which is funny enough on it's own, but then remember that he got drafted the same year as Kevin Durant.

You can't be upset because eventually Utah acquired Marvin Williams who the Hawks ruthlessly snatched from them in the draft all those years prior.

I think Deron over Paul is a Hakeem-Jordan situation where you passed one elite player to get a slightly less but still elite player, so there's not really much to complain about, but that's just me. Edit: Admittedly, Deron is no Hakeem, but you still hit really, really good on that pick. rare Magic card l00k fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jun 19, 2014 |

Nothing is ever going to beat the Hawks' promise to draft Sheldon Williams 5th overall leaking a week or two ahead of the 2006 draft and getting widely criticized by everyone, and then they ahead and did it anyway. He ended up averaging 5/5 for the Hawks that season, arguably his best season, while Brandon Roy was selected immediately after him and won Rookie of the Year. On a related note, I had no idea Sheldon Williams stuck around the NBA for nine years. Nor did I know that in 2002 he and Matt Kemp allegedly raped a girl

Shelden Williams stunk but he was decent as a specialist and that's how he stuck around as long as he did. The Clippers promised to pick Yaroslav Korolev a week or two before the draft in 2006, to the point that mock drafts had written that selection in pen, and he proceeded to play like 100 minutes in two years before getting cut

Deron was awesome and I love him but he was way worse than Paul aside from the whenever they played head to head. Paul is in the discussion for best point guard of all time. God bless all those poor Utah fans who spent all that time on the internet trying to argue that Deron was better though. MourningView fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Jun 19, 2014 |

Yeah, I thought Deron was a bit better than he was, but still great, hence the edit. I think it'd be clearer in the 'can't be mad' if it were a true Hakeem-Jordan situation and both guys got their teams rings.

Stein's reporting that the Warriors have included Klay in a package for Love. Maybe the best player they could get in a deal, but I don't think Golden State has much else to offer.

MourningView posted:Am I the only one who gets confused as gently caress when people say Hornets now? I know I made like 7000 posts about the terrifying Pelican mascot, but when I hear Hornet my brain still thinks New Orleans now and I have to stop and remember that it's the Bobcats. The Bobcats are such a delightfully awful franchise it feels wrong for them to get to claim Zo and all that. They deserve their boring create a team name. Bismack Biyombo is going to look all wrong in teal. I have to deal with this at work, and I keep constantly thinking New Orleans when the Hornets come up.

Wilt and Russell's rebound numbers are hilarious. The pace was out of control and no one could shoot for poo poo. If someone ever tells you that they don't play defense like they did back in the day laugh at that person. gently caress you, late 90s.

spacejung posted:I wonder if that guy we formed a lynch mob for and burned many times in effigy will ever come back to our team. It comes down to whether you want to trust your future in the hands of Cleveland management or Pat Riley and Micky Arison. I'd take Riley/Arison any day of the week. Only team I'd give thought to is the Clippers. But who wants to deal with the West if you don't have to? Riley's press conference did have some amazing spin in it. The man should be in politics.
