wolves tak e Mayo at 3

Me thinks the Wolves will be thinking trade now. Mayo, Mccants, Foye, plethora of other guards...

 

[Diggaz TC]

Westbrook at 4....wasn't expecting him to go quite that high

 

[infestacide]

kevin love to memphis... as i said earlier i dont mind that!

 

[Diggaz TC]

Massive boos from the new yourk crowd for Gallinari.

They know nothing about him because he's played in the Italian leagues so their first instinct is to boo. Gee, way to make a guy feel welcomed.

 

[nenjabin]

#6 = Danilo Gallinari to New York

 

[nenjabin]

7 (7) LA Clippers Eric Gordon

 

[33WING]

I just hope the D'antoni is not doing a favour by selecting his old team mates son.

 

[Lippo]

8. Joe Alexander - Bucks
9. DJ Augustin - Bobcats

Bayliss still on the board!!

 

[Chowpei]

9. DJ Augustin - Bobcats << why?! they already have felton.. trade bait?

 

[nenjabin]

Bayless dropped to 11??? I thought he was touted as a top 5er?

Bargain there! No surprises seeing the sixers pick a big man!

 

[nenjabin]

And now Bayless ius traded to Portland for Jarrett Jack and Brandon Rush!

Again no surprises, especially with TJ heading to Indiana anyways....

 

[nenjabin]

True.

Who the hell is Speights?

Toronto select Hibbert probably eliminating the loss of Nesterovic in the O'Neal trade. 7'2 big man to add to the frontcourt of beasts.

Hibbert is another monster on the boards. Man, Toronto is looking pretty scary! They won't have a turn around like Boston's, but they sure as hell will give their conference a shake!

I should add, Diogu was part of the Indiana/Portland deal too. Portladn get a solid young big man and a supposedly good PG for Jack and some dude I don't know

Here's some info on Speights: ESPN - 2008 NBA Draft - Marreese Speights - Florida - DraftTracker Player Card

Damn, Portland are looking to be dangerous next season!

Quote from Yahoo live coverage:

Also announced, Portland sent Josh McRoberts to Indiana as part of the earlier deal. Apparently the Blazers wouldn't bite on the request for a couple extra basketballs and countered with McRoberts

 

[nenjabin]

And another quote I found amusing from the Yahoo live draft

Triple overtime in the WNBA game. Sounds like a thriller. I'd still rather watch David Stern shake hands with abnormally tall teenagers.
