    I just glad we didn't have to make that choice.... There is no way I trade a guy named KillBill for Wade or Bosh..... Maybe Wade AND Lebron, I'd have to see a couple unconditional 1st's tho.

    :p

    I'm with SamFisher, I think he would have been the first pick in the draft. The repeat MVPNASH is built just like this guy. I think the NBA is in love with guards like Vassilis. So, number one, maybe a little higher than that if it were possible.

    Sure. KillBill would go number zero. The team that gets the #1 pick would attempt to draft him only to find out that he's already in the Hall of Fame, with a half dozen Championship rings and MVP trophies (regular season and Finals MVP of course).

    I can never make any statement like that one again, I thought Yinka Dare' was going to be a great NBA player.

    Stro was #2 in 2000, Battier #6 in 2001. Take away intangibles, given the same minutes Stromile would better Battier in most the number stats (as would a lot of players'). But you can't actually take away intangibles like versatility and leadership in real life, that all counts; and you could say that Stro shoulda earned those minutes. Battier is more valuable but statwise he's no runaway winner.

    V-Span's draft position, #27 where Sergio Rodriguez went. He outplayed his draft position but he'd be just slightly older than most this year's draftees which mighta been a knock and he'd more likely go around Steve Novak territory.

    I don't see how VSpan would have slipped past the 8th pick. He is such a Jerry West kinda guy ;)

    Kill Bill is more of a -1 type. You'd have to have the first three picks in the draft to move up to the -1. I'd look out m_cable, never call Kill Bill a zero. He's Killed for less.

    Ancient Greek Mythology(aka Truthology) claims that a Kill Bill would eventually be born and destroy 5 men by himself. It even said he would do it 82 times a year, plus extra for 'elimination tournaments'. They call him Vassilis Murdilis in the legend. As Lakerspride says, "don't hate me, I'm just the messenger". I'm just repeating the research I did on Greek Mythology. I worked really hard to get this information for you guys, so respect me. Don't hate me.
