Ok, I understand that Darius Miles can be a future star. I relize his awesome potential. But what are the Clipps planning? Make Lamar Odom (who isnt much older, or have any less talent, and has established himself) play power foward??? Or do the Clipps plan on playing Darius at the 4 spot? On to the Bulls pick. Did I just hear Marcus Fizer? Ummmm, dont the Bulls have a man named Brand? Arent they all but very similar players? Both kinda big, but shorter Power Fowards, but both definately a power Foward and nothing else? Then the Magic select Mike Miller. Who probably could of been the best player still available, but am I not confused into believing that Mike will probably never be big enough to play Power Foward, and dont the Magic have a youthful logjam at SF? In Magette and two others? Talk about the proverbial monkey wrench that has been tossed into this Draft. I expect that the clipps have started this, and looking to deal.
This just gets weirder and weirder, Crawford at eight to a cleveland team full of point guards. God knows what Houston are planning at nine. ------------------
Ok, so I called it. Dont know if anyone in the chat room did first, but let me say that Jerry Krause is an idiot. To Draft Fizer just to cheese off the Clipps for picking Darius????? Hey better pray to the basketball Gods that the Blazers are listening to an offer for Fizer. But for what? He just drafted Chris Mihm, and the Blazers are looking to maybe deal Oneal???? Krause is an idiot.
I think the Bulls did the right thing. You want to get value. They can always try Fizer at the 3 some, Brand at 5 some, or just trade Fizer away. I guess the Clippers did the right thing too, they can try to move Miles for a PF. But Orlando taking Miller at 5 and Clev taking Crawford at 8 . Whoo who for us, that gave use at the pick of the litter for 4/5s. With the exception of Mihm, we got to decide who we thought was better between Prz, Tsaklidis, Moiso, O.O., etc. I consider the 1st 2 picks only 4's or maybe 3/4s). The theme so far defintely seems to be athleticsm first, size 2nd. It is the new NBA ball ya know. ------------------ "The Rockets were ahead of the Suns by 20 late in game 2 of the series, but when the going got tough, we just Pippened . We would not be done in the series though."
Ha ha ha ha...Mihm for Crawford? Ok so now Im feeling what hes doing. Pick up Crawford his PG for the future, trade Fizer for Oneal. Ok so hes not a Complete idiot. Shrewd move I must admit. Considering what was thrown his way.
Okay so this gets weirder. George Karl takes Jason COllier with the 15th pick, why? ------------------
nbatalk.com is reporting the bulls/cavs/blazers deal has hit a snag. god it's getting tense now. ------------------
