2009 NBA Draft thread- Live!

[Folster]

The Suns select Earl Clark!

 

[Chaplin]

YES!

 

[Lefty]

Yes, it's Clark.

 

[carey]

Booo, our pick upstaged by Brandon Jennings. Lame.

 

[Folster]

Chap you've been clamoring for him forever! You must feel happy. Who did you want last year? (Just want to see how good your picks are.)

 

[Darth Llama]

Seems like the best pick for them out of what was there. I hope he works out for you guys. With the Shaq thing and rumors that Amare is being shipped off, you guys really deserve to have something good happen for you. I hope he ends up being a good player for the Suns.

 

[Chaplin]

Chap you've been clamoring for him forever! You must feel happy. Who did you want last year? (Just want to see how good your picks are.)

I don't remember very well who I wanted last year. I think by draft time I actually wanted Lopez, but that may have been based on all the publicity he was getting and the information that he looked good in workouts. I know I didn't have Dragic on my radar at all.

 

[HooverDam]

Haha Brandon Jennings just shows up when he wants, he's amazing, I love him

Clark is a fine pick at 14, the Suns need a SF for sure even if the trade goes through.

If the trade does go through the Suns are going to be very long and athletic.

 

[dodie53]

Clark it is.

 

[Phill11]

I really can't stand Jennings. What an arrogant #$#@.

Really like the pick of Clark. If Lawson falls lower I'd strongly consider trading up for him. Also, Minnesota has something brewing by drafting PG's with the 5th and 6th pick. I'd at least inquire about Rubio.

 

[Phill11]

Also saw this on RealGM:
08:47 PM: RUMOR: The Stephen Curry pick was possibly made for the Suns, according to the Arizona Republic. An announcement on Amare Stoudemire going to Golden State in a deal for Andris Biedrins, Stephen Curry and some other Warriors players like Marco Belinelli and/or Brandan Wright could happen next week.

 

[sunsallday]

Yes we got Earl Clark! Yesssssss!!!!!!

 

[SirStefan32]

Corro says "6 p.m.: The Suns drafted Louisville's Earl Clark but it sounds like it is not for themselves."

 

[Ronin]

.
NVM.

 

[Andrew]

good choice, got the guy they wanted.

 

[TBaslim]

Corro says "6 p.m.: The Suns drafted Louisville's Earl Clark but it sounds like it is not for themselves."

Hmmm - who would they trade him to? Thunder for next year's pick back?

Part of a package to Minny for one of their PGs? They liked Flynn. Don't know their thoughts on Rubio.

Who knows at this point...

 

[IBleedPurpleAndOrange]

I would love to get flynn!

I hate the suns

PLEASE PLEASE, let this be for OKC!!!!

 

[Griffin]

If the Suns indeed traded Amare, then it would make a lot of sense to keep Clark. This is the guy they supposedly wanted, so why trade him?

 

[joshstmarie]

OK pick BABY!!!!

 

[devilalum]

Kerr just went on and on about why they took Clark.

 

[HooverDam]

If the Suns indeed traded Amare, then it would make a lot of sense to keep Clark. This is the guy they supposedly wanted, so why trade him?

It makes more sense to keep Clark if the trade didn't happen really. If the trade DID happen theyll likely get back a wing of some sort. If it didn't happen they need a SF.

Im praying it was a pick for OKC and we're getting our 2010 back, but its unlikely, they would've announced that already I think.

 

[Griffin]

I want next year's pick back too, but I would much rather trade Lopez for it than Clark, and certainly not both.

 

[SunsFanVegas]

Kerr just went on and on about why they took Clark.

Which probably translates to "See Ya". He'll be gone. I don't believe a word out of that guys mouth. I can't even look at him on the TV anymore.
