Wow, this gets better and better. "Our GM, what a idiot!!!!" "HEY DID SOMEONE REMIND MOREY THAT WE ARE DRAFTING THE 26TH NOT THE 54TH PICK ????" "WTF..... Morey what the **** are you doing?" "Aaron Brooks, LOL. That's a clippers pick. Who was Morey listening to, what was he drinking?" Awesome...! This is why I never jump to conclusions about anyone we draft.
I can't believe how many of the people in that draft thread (see Carl Herrera's sig) were agonizing that we drafted AB instead of Josh McRoberts. Too funny.
There was at least one poster who blasted the picks, and then when they turned out to be pretty good insisted that it wasn't Morey doing the drafting but Adelman (for Brooks) and Rockets scouts (for Landry). OK then.
lol. that was a good exhibition..... I did not know who was Brooks but I liked any pick for a PG because I thought Rafer should be gone that summer. Morey failed me from the other angle.
props to World B Free on page 26. haha. the 2007 nba draft thread is freakin hilarious!! 5 stars to this thread. i would rep you Carl Herrera but i have absolutely no idea how.
He has exceeded probably the majority of expectations. He is probably ahead of schedule where the Rockets planned on his being. But, have not exceeded what they believe his potential is.
Portland 07' Draft: Greg Oden, Josh McRoberts, Channing Frye, Rudy Fernandez suprisingly, Portland didn't have such a great draft after all. with, i suppose, the exception of Rudy.
LMAO. Too funny how many people were upset because we didn't take Josh freakin' McRoberts. Where is he now?
You have no idea how relieved I was when I got to my post and found I was one of the very few people who hadn't lost his mind. Here is what I said: I'm so glad to know I was smart enough to have faith in Daryl Morey even then. By the way, this is my favorite post so far: http://bbs.clutchfans.com/showpost.php?p=3002644&postcount=686 It's all the more beautiful because you can see his current sig.
"Why draft another PG when we already have Rafer, JL3, VSpan, Mike James and Luther Head? It makes no sense." LOL. Too funny. Just for comparison, here are the draft results from No. 10 to 26 (Brooks). Looking back with hindsight, are there any player that would have been worth giving up Brooks and trading up for? Thaddeus Young? Al Thornton? Rodney Stuckey? 10.Spencer Hawes C Sacramento Kings 11 Acie Law G Atlanta Hawks 12 Thaddeus Young F Philadelphia 76ers 13 Julian Wright F New Orleans Hornets 14 Al Thornton F Los Angeles Clippers 15 Rodney Stuckey G Detroit Pistons (from Orlando) 16 Nick Young G/F Washington Wizards 17 Sean Williams F/C New Jersey Nets 18 Marco Belinelli G Golden State Warriors 19 Javaris Crittenton G Los Angeles Lakers 20 Jason Smith F/C Miami Heat (traded to Philadelphia) 21 Daequan Cook G Philadelphia 76ers (from Denver, traded to Miami) 22 Jared Dudley F Charlotte Bobcats (from Toronto via Cleveland) 23 Wilson Chandler F New York Knicks (from Chicago) 24 Rudy Fernández G Phoenix Suns (from Cleveland via Boston, traded to Portland) 25 Morris Almond G Utah Jazz 26 Aaron Brooks
Please pardon my ignorance, but I don't follow the NBA as closely as I once did. Who are the players from that 2007 draft that are doing as well or better than AB or Landry. Edit : PepperMintCandy , sorry didn't see your post at the time of typing.
