    X-Draft Chat?

    The thing with Bremer was bizarre. After every other selection, Dell Curry said a few words about the player, and what he might be able to bring to the Bobcats (or to another team). With Bremer, he just said, “I suggest we just move on.”

    Deveney: Shaq to Suns a longshot that would make sense

    The CBA contains no such rule, JM, although that seems to be the way it always works out. The only counterexample I can think of is the complicated deal in which Portland traded a re-signed Brian Grant and other players for Shawn Kemp.

    Gambo: McGrady deal NOT done

    That’s an unbelievably strong statement. It is almost certain that at least one of Gordon, Harris, or Livingston will be on the board at #7. He feels that none of these is likely to turn out better than Leandro? Leandro must have had one hell of an offseason.

    Who is on Your List of Seven?

    OK. Add Okafor and Howard—who, I presume you would agree, are top-six locks—and you have a list of seven. Of the five you list, which is your least favorite?

    Who is on Your List of Seven?

    With the Nth pick, for reasonably small N, it can be useful to come up with a list of exactly N draft prospects, where every prospect on the list is either a dead lock to be drafted in the first N-1 picks, or somebody you would like to draft at N. Then you’re guaranteed that at least one of the...

    Deveney: Shaq to Suns a longshot that would make sense

    Sorry, JCSF. A player in the last year of his contract, or who has an option (either player or team), can not be traded after the end of the season. Dice fits that description. Between now and the expiration of his contract in about 199 hours, he can not be traded.

    Orlando voided trade with Houston???

    Hmm. There are conflicting reports in the media. Hmm. A news.google.com search quotes the following excerpt from an ESPN article: However, in the linked article, that text is nowhere to be found. It looks like initial reports indicated that McGrady and Francis were the only principals...

    Gambo: McGrady deal NOT done

    For reasons described in the “What would you rather give up?” thread, I think I would actually prefer to trade Marion+JJ instead of Marion+#7. I’m not sure what to make of JJ, I might still be unsure at the end of the season, and he will be a restricted free agent, which perhaps means the...

    Deveney: Shaq to Suns a longshot that would make sense

    All indications are that White will be going to Charlotte in the expansion draft, so he can’t be part of a deal with the Lakers or any other team (except, of course, the deal that sends him to Charlotte). Also, McDyess is a free agent, so he would have to agree to the deal. Anyway, I don’t...

    Orlando voided trade with Houston???

    Yeah, unless there is a major snow job going on here, it sounds like the deal is agreed to in principle, and the only thing that can really throw a wrench into the works at this point is if the Bobcats take one of the principles in the expansion draft. Apparently, Mobley, Cato, and JHoward are...

    harris and draft from todays azcentral

    I agree. I think it’s likely that the top six pick will be, in some order, Okafor, Howard, Deng, Livingston, Gordon, and Iggy. Out of what’s left at that point, Harris seems to be the most likely pick. I hope we can find a way to swap Eisley for a big man with an equally bad contract...

    Has anyone heard anything about this...

    Never, ever, ever, ever believe anything you read on the ESPN message boards without some other source for the information. People there make up bullsh¡t all the time and post it as fact, just to get a rise out of other posters. Frankly, my recommendation is that you never read those...

    TMac for Francis completed and announced tomorrow after the expansion draft

    No, that would not tempt the Magic a tad. A player with an expiring contract, like Dice, can not be traded after the end of the season. He can be sign-and-traded with a new contract, but the new contract in a sign-and-trade must be for at least three seasons, which would make it just as bad...

    Move up in the draft?

    Gordon might be there at #7. It looks like Okafor, Howard, Deng, and Livingston are top-six locks, with Iggy not far behind. If there’s even one reach in top top six (Harris, maybe?), that probably drops Gordon to #7. Hmm. It looks like six prospects are separating themselves from the...

    Damn It Suns!

    Dude... It’s June 21st. The expansion draft is tomorrow, the rookie draft is on Thursday, and the free agency period begins a week after that. The offseason hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already giving up because we’ve seen “NOTHIN” yet? We got fatcat owners who haven’t pawned off any...

    TMac for Francis completed and announced tomorrow after the expansion draft

    OMG, he’s doing it again?! Well, if Stevie wants to be remembered, it looks like he’s accomplishing it. “Francis” is going to become a permanent part of the NBA lexicon, meaning, “to throw a tantrum because somebody wants to pay you millions of dollars per year to play basketball.”

    Crazy thought...don't make any trades

    Yeah, that tends to happen when it takes a 2-18 finish by the Clippers to save you, by one game, from the ignominy of last place in the Conference. It doesn’t help that the “2” in the 2-18 both came against us, in Phoenix.

    Would you trade down?

    I’d generally leave this sort of thing up to the talent scouts. I don’t like the idea of trading down, unless the scouts feel that there’s nobody on the board at #7 who’s worth taking that high. As for the Barbosa deal, it does not give us the right to substitute any arbitrary pick for the...

    I believe we should set this to music and have Whitney Houston record it.
