THE Wednesday Night Draft Thread!!!

[ziggy]

Lets use this thread for comments during the draft on Wednesday night.
It should be a lot of fun.:P

[Dead_Real]

I\'m glad you made a thread this should be fun leading up to the draft tonight I will be here.

On to the guys in the draft later on today, do yall think that Rudy Gay will develope that take over a game mentalitiy like so many others want him to add to his game? IMO I like his style of play, people call him soft because he is a team player. When I hear them dogging Gay I think of Ben Gordon enough said.

On to Morrison if we draft him we all know his offense is out of this world but his lack of D turns me off of this man he will get his 20 a game but if he is given away 20 it wouldnt matter.

I havent seen a lot of Brandon Roy, the little I have seen is great he plays defense and is a floor general, I would love the combo of him and Felton they would cause defense problems with there quickness.

What do yall think about this??? here is a site that will continue to update leading up to the draft they have some news about us possible making a deal check it out.....The whoe situation is lovely for us since we would move down to 4 we could still get Gay or Roy and we get a pick around 30 or 31 and pick up Dee Brown we win.

Thats the tricky thing about this draft, all of the top players have some warts:
Rudy Gay: questions about his heart and desire
Ammo: Defense and diabetes
Roy: Knees
LMA: Is he too soft to be a big time impact player.

I think by midseason next year, there are some GMs that are going to look back on this draft and feel like idiots and there are others that will look back and feel like geniuses.

DRAFT PARTY AT THE CATS ARENA TO NIGHT
As far as i know add is free. Shuld be fun and there shuld be some players and staff thair as well.
See it all on the big screan , The best jumbo tron in the NBA. Any one else plan on being thair....

[dav7z]

I just read the link on the board and it said thet portland , May trade picks with the cats.If that comes about its a win,win,4 us.
Portland .... Gets 3rd pick and takes thair man
Morrison.
We get the 4th plus the 30th or 31st pick.
Say we then take the 31st and the 50th along with B.K.
put that into a bundle ,its no telling what we could get four that.In a trade, or DRAFT position.
I four 1 would make that trade in a min flat.
Do you guys think it would be a good trade or what.

[Dead_Real]

Its a great trade IMO, think about it at 4 we get Gay or Brandon Roy, at 31 we could pick up PG Dee Brown and at 50 we can go big with Roy Hollins we would have a great draft.

From Panthershuddle.com


That prospect was just one of perhaps a dozen rumored deals with most general managers believing Allen Iverson will be moved, possibly to Charlotte or Memphis.

If we could pull this off Jordan is alright with me B)

[dav7z]

If we do pull that off give Bigerstaff the crdit for it . Hes the one who kept saying Barginani would not go past 3rd. I think that made the raptors change thair mind about a trade with portland.
That may have just gave us that 31st pick.

[Dead_Real]

http://nbadraft.net

Nba Draft.net has us taking Morrison now man this is a race between both of these guys on Realgm someone said that word is that Morrison would land in charlotte and now they are saying that Morrison agent was on a Portland radio station saying that Portlan would do anything to get Morrison.

[heelfan]

This is the craziest draft in years, The guy that mocks have going #1, could have ended up being drafted 6 or 7, and the guys at 6 or 7 could end up being picked #1.

[Dead_Real]

^^^^^^^
Breaking News: Bassy is a Celtic!!! Its a rumor right now on Realgm radio.

[Dead_Real]

http://www.realgm.com/code/draftnight2006_webcast_chosen.phtml

[heelfan]

Sebastian Telfair and Gerald Green in the backcourt is too sick to even think about.:blink:

[Dead_Real]

^I agree Bassy is going to help them a lot Pearce, Green and Bassy they are making the playoffs next year and will give the Pistons, Bulls and Heat some trouble.

[dav7z]

ITS LOOKING LIKE WHAT PORTLAND IS GOING TO GIVE US 4 THAT 3RD PICK TO GET MORRISON,

[Dead_Real]

Or we could screw them and pick up Morrison you never know with this draft its crazy today.:woohoo:

[dav7z]

Off to cats arena to PARTY. My last guess
CATS 4th Gay 31st Brown 50th gray.
Have a great time guys...............

[Dead_Real]

^^^^^^^
Have a good time I\'m just watching UFC and typing at the same time. Some guy is talking about the top 5 players in the draft. He says Rudy Gay is going 3!!!

He said LMA is going 4th to Portland dam this is crazy!

[psycho]

[Dead_Real]

You would give up the chance of getting Gay or Roy at 4 and Dee Brown at 30 or 31 for Ammo????

ESPN says we are taking Adam Morrison.

[heelfan]

25 minutes until the draft and I still have no friggin idea who the Bobcats are going to wind up with, Morrison, Gay, Roy... I have no idea.

[psycho]

Woooohooooo!!! Its shaping up nicely, The pre-draft experts are predicting that Ammo is going to be a Bobcat!

[Dead_Real]

^I hope they are wrong.

[ziggy]

It looks like Rudy Gay has on an Orange Tie... Almost Bobcat-like one might say. Coincidence??? Maybe not.

[Dead_Real]

Stephan A. Smith shited on Rudy Gay basically calling him a Kwame Brown since Jordon is high on him.

[psycho]

If this draft works out like I hope and we get Ammo, then somebody is going to have to check charlie white into a mental institution because he is going to lose his mind.

[psycho]

Dead_real wrote:

[Dead_Real]

I think we would have a better run and gun team with Gay. Think about how exciting our team would be with Felton, Wallace and Gay running like the Suns. I agree Psycho he tried to shit on Felton on Quite Frankly calling him a bust.

[heelfan]

Dead_real wrote:

I agree Psycho he tried to shit on Felton on Quite Frankly calling him a bust. Was that recently??? If so then hes a loudmouthed prick and a slackjawed idiot.

[Dead_Real]

It was around december when they were talking about rookies he had that bald headed black dude up there along with the white guy that is on ESPN fastbreak.


Bargnani is #1 big suprise.:)

[ziggy]

#1 pick is Andrea Bargnani.... And I\'m glad, because I didn\'t want him on the \'Cats anyway

[heelfan]

Now we just need for the Bulls to take TT and we can have our choice of the top 2 players on the board

[buckethead]

That was a silly pick by the Raptors, they basically will be playing 3 power forwards w/Bosh, Charlie V and bargnani

[Dead_Real]

Portland are about to trade up to 2???

[psycho]

#2 Mr. Softee LMA is off the board, Now the fun begins.

[Dead_Real]

The Bulls are going to be nice but come on Bernie and MJ pick Rudy!!!

[buckethead]

Dead_real wrote:

Portland are about to trade up to 2??? Yep Swapping with the Bulls.

[Dead_Real]

I wonder if we will make the trade with Portland.

[Dead_Real]

I\'m mad as hell.

YES AMMO IS A BOBCAT

[heelfan]

I was leaning towards Rudy, But I can live with Ammo... Hopefully he can learn to play just a little bit of defense.

[Dead_Real]

He better not be a bust, I have a feeling in my gut that Gay is going to be sick in the league.

[ziggy]

Ammo is going to do his thing and put points on the board. I\'m fine with the pick

[Dead_Real]

We just drafted Van Horn with an attitude.

[heelfan]

#5 The Landlord goes to the Hawks, they could have picked him up around #8 if they traded down

[Dead_Real]

I think Gay is going next the hawks are dumb as hell, Minnesota made a great pick up I think KG is sort of happy right now.

[ziggy]

One thing that you can say about this pick is that the Bobcats tried to hit a homerun on this one. No playing it safe here.

[ziggy]

#6 Brandon Roy... And Rudy Gay is STILL on the board

[Dead_Real]

I have to admit that Adam Morrison commercial is ill.

[buckethead]

Dead_real wrote:

He has star quality, Hopefully he has the game to back it up

[Dead_Real]

Gay is going to be nice in Houston to bad we passed up on him.

So who should pick up at 50???

[buckethead]

They say hes going to Memphis in exchange for the Shane Battier.... Jerry West just STOLE a hell of a player

[Dead_Real]

^I agree do yall think we are going to be an 8th seed next year?

[djack]

Dead_real wrote:

So who should pick up at 50???Since we got backcourt help at 3, I would go with the best big man available at #50

[Dead_Real]

^^^^^^^^
Roy Hollins


I just thought about how much Morrison and Redick are going to face each other a lot.

[heelfan]

Dead_real wrote:

^I agree do yall think we are going to be an 8th seed next year?Without a doubt...


HOLY CRAP... Saer Sene goes #10 ?!?!?!?!?!?

[Dead_Real]

N.O. gets a good big man he is a freak on defense.

[ziggy]

Orlando pissed me off, I wanted JJ to start crying in the green room.

[Dead_Real]

I thought he was going to the rockets it will be good to see Morrison and Redick go at it in the east and Okafor and Howard also.

[Dead_Real]

Excuse my disrespect but why in the hell didnt they pick Marcus Williams???

[ziggy]

JJ & Howard -vs- Ammo and Emeka... JJ is going to get lit up.

[Dead_Real]

Was Stern serious that announcer looked hurt lol.

[Dead_Real]

Great rookie year for Deron Williams :lol:

[heelfan]

Dead_real wrote:

Great rookie year for Deron Williams :lol: if hitting up Burger king everyday and being a fatass of a pointguard is great, then I guess he was great.

[Dead_Real]

Its something about Williams that I hate.

[buckethead]

#16 Big Slam\'s boy Rodney Carney drafted by the Bulls but traded to the Sixers. Him and Iguodala together are going to produce some Sportscenter moments

[djack]

Carney was a steal at 16.

[Dead_Real]

Carney is a steal, I wonder if they still want to move Iverson.

[heelfan]

Odds are AI will be gone from the sixers before the season starts

[Dead_Real]

On ESPN radio they just said that Jerry West is trying to do everything possible in trying to land Adam Morrison. They said that discussions are under way involving Morrison and Gay being swapped. A Memphis 1st round pick for \'07 may be involved. Memphis is said to have lost favor of Bobby Jackson and may be looking for a pass first point guard to go with damon stoudamire. They mentioned this possibility:

Brevin Knight
Adam Morrison

for

Rudy Gay
Mike Miller or Hakim Warrick
1st round pick

[heelfan]

I hope they are\'t trying to move Ammo...


New York Knicks - Renaldo Balkman, What is Zeke thinking?

[Dead_Real]

LOL Stephan A was speechless :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Dead_Real]

Williams is going to learn a lot from Kidd.

No doubt, thats a perfect situation for Williams

[Dead_Real]

Interview from Adam Morrison I found from Draftcast espn.


Buzzmaster: (8:57 PM ET ) Adam Morrison is here so send your questions!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stone: Congrats Adam, are you excited to play for Jordan the young Bobcats?

Buzzmaster: (8:59 PM ET ) He\'s the greatest and I think Charlotte\'s a good fit for me so I\'m very excited.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris J: what sort of impact do you think you can have in your first season?

Buzzmaster: (9:00 PM ET ) I feel like I can help with scoring right away and bring a level of intensity to the team. And I\'m very excited to be a part of that organization.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
smoke dogg: adam are you going to get a haircut before you play in the nba or will you leave it \'bogut style\'?

Buzzmaster: (9:01 PM ET ) I\'ll leave it Bogut style and see what happens...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daoud Shuja: Congarts on going to the Bobcats. How do you think Gerald Wallace and Felton will compliment your shooting abilities?

Buzzmaster: (9:02 PM ET ) Gerald is a great athlete and slasher and that will shrink the floor and Felton is an excellent pure point guard who can also shoot and that will open up the floor for the rest of the guys on the perimeter.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G$: Congrats AdamI think that you are a great fit in Charlotte and I can\'t wait for you to show all the critics and haters that you are a superstar. What do you think your biggest challenge is going to be at the next level?

Adam Morrison: (9:03 PM ET ) The speed of the game and the overall strength of the players. I just have to get used to how fast the game is played at the NBA level.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve: Are you prepared for the \"mental toughness\" MJ demands of his players?

Adam Morrison: (9:04 PM ET ) I\'m going to go in with the right attitude and listen and do everything that\'s asked of me. But, obciously, it\' MJ and I\'m probably not ready for his level of intensity.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eddy (seattle): how huge, do you think, was your workout performance in charlotte in their decision to take you 3rd overall?

Adam Morrison: (9:06 PM ET ) I felt like it was a good workout and it was huge. But people don\'t realize how much tape they watch, too, so that was big, too.

[djack]

He sounds like hes ready to join the Bobcats organization and put in some work

[Dead_Real]

If the lakers are smart they better pick Shannon Brown.

[djack]

Heres Ammo on NBA Live :P

[Dead_Real]

Jordon was just on news14 talking about Morrison, Felton and Wallace.

[heelfan]

With their 2nd pick the Knicks pick Mardy Collins??? Yep, thats what the Knicks need, MORE POINT GUARDS.

[heelfan]

Dead_real wrote:

Jordon was just on news14 talking about Morrison, Felton and Wallace. I missed it, what did he say?

[Dead_Real]

Jordon said that the bobcats play hard and thats something that you cannot teach, he noted how the bobcats play hard for 3 quarters but they needed a man to close the game for them on the winning side.*you remember those games we should have one last season*. And he stated that Morrison has the same heart and drive as he had. He brought up that we had a great young nucleus with Felton, Wallace, Okafor and May and that when they all play together they will understand there roles on the team.

[heelfan]

Heres a good from Sports Illustrated talking about how hes looking forward to playing in a small town like Charlotte.

Why in the hell didnt the Knicks draft David Noel????

We might get a steal at 50 in Noel or Hollins so I\'m happy.

Noel or Hassan Adams would be good at 50 if they are still on the board

[Dead_Real]

Stephan A called Bob Johnson cheap and the black bald headed dude said something like we could be a playoff contender or something I stopped watching because all they do is hate on us.

[Dead_Real]

We picked up Hollins at 50 he is a banger above the rim at center.

[Advocate4SeanMay]

I liked our draft tonight. Although I sure was hoping for Pittsnoggle!!! I like that guy.
