    Why do so many people think its gonna be so easy to move into the top 3 via weird unlikely trades?

    How many teams have actually accomplished this feat? Moving up from 9 or higher all the way to #1 or #3. Very few, I suspect, if any.

    that is all.

    Well, if you're talking top 3, you're talking Clippers.

    How about:

    Denver trades Brent Barry (#15) and Rodney Rogers to the Clippers for Antonio McDyess (#2)

    Too bad lightning doesn't strike twice.

    I also don't believe we will be moving into the top 3, but, I will GLADLY eat crow on that.

    Does anybody have a source on that? Like draft histories with trades included? I've been wondering how many times a top 3 has been traded myself. I guess, in a way, we made a trade for the #2 last year. [​IMG]

    Crisco,

    You're dense.

    You just don't understand Dreamcasting at all, do you? You simply choose your players from a menu. Besides there are only stars anyhow.<font color="dedfdf">

    thx for the link NIKE, Ill check it out soon.

    OH!

    HP,
    this was about Draft Dreamcasting. Different than plain ol dreamcasting.

    Draft Dreamcasting : teams(more specifically, the Rockets) can magikally move up to nab the only soon to be stars in the draft.

    BTW, I dont think Crisco is very dense. It floats on water. Does that mean im a witch?

    Speaking of casting, witches, and movies (well, someone's speaking of movies),

    Name this movie in the context of Crisco's last post.

    "Tiny pebbles?"

    extra points for naming the line that came before it?<font color="dedfdf">

    I believe the line before it was "What also floats" and it from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail.

    Crisco:

    You have so little real knowledge of draft dreamcasting. According to NFL 2K, Washington can beat New Orleans by 15 points, in the rain, at Soldier Field.
    Am I the only one who can understand this? That clearly means that the Clips will give us their 3 pick straight up for our 38 pick, we will then get Swift. We will use the 9 pick on Mihm. This is where it gets tricky, Chicago has to forget they wanted Mihm until after the draft (believe me, they will). Then they will bombard the Rockets with offers. We will take their picks, Darius Miles and Mike Miller. This is why that 15 was so important. And don't forget Soldier Field. Then, we will trade Drew, Walt, and Cato to San Antonio for Duncan and the funds for their new stadium (once Duncan and Robinson leave, the fans will not want to pay to see Steve Kerr miss shots in fancy, new luxury boxes.
    So, according to NFL 2k, our lineup will be this:

    C: Duncan/Hakeem/Mass
    PF: Swift/Kenny/'Los
    SF: Miller/Miles
    SG: Anderson/Cat
    PG: Francis/Mooch

    Intangibles: New Stadium - Les can't get a better deal than "free." Can finally afford the long envisioned system of getting rid of the regular announcer and miking Rudy for all of the action. Then, when he shouts gibberish, it will be blared on the speakers and done with the echo effect. That wins at least 20 more games a year.

    Which announcer is out of a job?

    1. Bill W
    2. Gene P
    3. The person who announces at the CC

    Mango,
    #3 - it needs the loud arena speakers. It would not have the same result on the TV or radio.

    rimbaud,

    If HP had potty-trained his dog, the dog could take the DSL line to the bathroom and post from there to help master HP get to his magic number in time.

    1. That would be cheating.

    2. What if the dog's posts (we must assume they would be along the lines of "kjshiuhifuhkjfkdfk") are better received than heypartner's. Then he would be crushed. That is too big of a risk for him to take.



    heypartner:

    if you add the # of posts from your other aliases, are you there yet? Just curious - it does not count if you are.

    heypartner* did about 5 posts
    Jennas Revenge did about 3 posts

    You're not tricking me into telling you my real bi-uid, nor divulging any information that narrows the possibilities. All I can say is it pre-dates heypartner.
