    I don’t want another Battier type trade, I’d rather an Artest type.

    Yeah, they could have gotten Lowry plus Battier with ease. Memphis really wanted Rudy Gay badly.

    WTF are they going to do with "S"?? I swear man, these guys are going screw it up. S is not a team player. S has been on every team in the league.

    Exactly what should be expected. Always look at all your options.

    Idc how weak a draft is, a top 3 pick for a role player like Mikal is too much imo. Stick and pick

    I would be good trading Dillion Brooks + 3rd for Mikal Bridges. I think he would thrive with a better supporting cast and under Udoka, like he did with the Suns. Too many fans around here underrating his skillset and abilities lately. Also I want to get rid of Dillion. His flaws became more glaring as the season went along.

    While you're bullshi**in', was I the only jerkoff at Toyota Center the night of "Rudy-Shane"?

    This was the scene outside the Toyota Center not long after myself and others sitting inside heard the draft news of the trade for Battier:

    This was Jeff Van Gundy measuring the scene when the trade announcement was made:

    All while giving up 30pts

    I hate this time of the year because you can literally say anything and people will believe it. You can't prove that they're not shopping the pick or they are.

    More or less what I've expected.

    It's been reported for weeks that Ime Udoka doesn't want more raw players to train up.

    Sorry Reed Sheepurd fans, most of this draft are career backups or fringe role players.
