For the third year in a row you can follow every pick in this year’s NBA Draft live at Desipio. The fun has already started, so hop on in as our usual gang of morons breaks down what’s happening in New York.
We’re doing the draft in our Discussion mode, so hit refresh or reload to follow the action and feel free to jump in with both feet and join us.
Welcome to our third annual NBA DraftCast here at Desipio.
Let’s get right to the snark. ESPN just gave us a look at LeBron James, and either he got lost in Thomas Wolfe’s closet, or he thinks he’s selling ice cream at the draft. Yikes.
Is a draft really a draft if Jerry Krause isn’t around to measure the potential draftees mother’s hands? I didn’t think so.
Mike Tirico is giving us a tour of the crap on our screen. It’s pretty handy. In one corner they have the draft clock, along the side they have a list of teams in alpha order. But really, he’s just introducing the guys on the set, and it’s nice to see that Jay Bilas has so far resisted the temptation to don a Mel Kiper, Jr. wig.
Hey pals,
I’m a NBA fan from Spain, and I would like to know if there is any way I can listen to an online radio broadcast of the Draft (apart from the ones the NBA offers, as I don’t really feel like paying for it).
If not, I’ll keep hanging on with you!
Hello again, everybody. Your old friend Karry Ling here. I’ve got to tell you, I haven’t been this excited about a draft since the Cavs took that guy with the furry forehead in ’86. That was fun.
The ESPN guys are talking about whether or not Michael Jordan is going to buy the Bucks. I think he will, and I think he’ll be excited to get the chance to use a first round draft pick on a high school kid so he can call him a "fag" and make him cry like he’s done with Kwame Brown.
( just watched the replay of the SVSM/Oak Hill game on espn classic. How was James able to play with Vitale’s lips planted on his ass the whole game?
Who says Desipio’s not world-wide? We’ve got a Spaniard for chrissakes. My suggestion, go to espnradio.com and listen to the broadcast as they cover it on GameNight and keep your browser pointed here. We like the hits.
Is DJ Stu Scott winking or signaling that he’s going to make a left at the corner?
Kirk Hinrich is combing his hair with his fingers again.
Remember how funny it was when Craig Sager asked Casey Jacobsen if his girlfriend had any sisters? How long do you think Michelle Tafoya could keep her job if she told Chris Bosh she’s got jungle fever and she’s got it bad?
Hello one and all …
I want everyone to know that I’ll be treating this Draft with the same respect and my Draft coverage with the same tact that I have in years past.
So, I’ll be drinking, probably listening to Humble Pie, and making bad Euro-puns.
And, I’m only wearing one contact lense!
If things get really out of hand, I may or may not give away Mike Tirico’s home email address. Depends on how many puns he makes, I supposed.
And because I haven’t been around a working modem much since early May, so I’d like to give a big "HEY THERE!" to all the cats whose email I haven’t returned (especially the ones that sent it to my defunct OnHoops.com address)
Dwayne Wade: "I’m cool."
Yeah, we know.
How could you not tell Pokemon to follow the draft at SpanishYes.com?
http://www.si.com
Jim, Gund ain’t deaf. You don’t have to scream in his ear.
Anybody else creeped out by the way Jim Gray put his arm around Gordon Gund? I’m just glad we can’t see what’s going on with Jim’s right arm right now.
Jim Gray: "In your mind’s eye, what does LeBron James look like?"
Gordon Gund: "Like a big f@#$ing dollar sign with Nikes on."
"Is LeBron James the best player you’ve ever seen? Oops. Sorry, blind dude."
Kelly, you have hamburger buns but no hamburgers; and you have hot dogs but no hot dogs buns.
Improvise, Marcus.
And get me a glass.
Hey, they wanna make me pay or try to tune in whith any of the thousands of local radio stations… fuck off!
I’ll stay with you, it seems quite a lot of fun!
Does this have anything to do with me?
To steal one from Andy:
Someone needs to tell Darko that we don’t do that with our hair anymore.
Darko: "I … AM … READY."
I’m thirsty. Chris?
Did Vitale just compare LeBron to a rock star? Does that mean he thinks he can’t go to his left any better than the drummer from Def Leppard?
I’ve got a million of em!
Dick also just reminded us that he’s been making our ears bleed on ESPN for 25 years now.
By the way, Gordon Gund is lying. If the Lakers offered him Kobe for LeBron, he’d throw himself in front of the bus to make that happen. I know I would.
Hey Tolbert! Matt Clement wants his goattee back.
Looking at Darko Milicic’s hair just made me think of something.
Who in here has seen The Bourne Identity? OK, remember the scene where Matt Damon gives Famke Poteat(is she Hank Poteat’s mom?) a haircut and then has sex with her? I think in the deleted scenes she wakes up the next morning, admires her hair in the mirror and says, "Well, it’s true. You do f@#$ and cut hair like a gay man."
I’ve now dropped f-bombs in my last two posts. I’ve got to slow down.
This "Perfect Club" jackass is like a cross between Harry Shearer and the principal from "The Breakfast Club."
He’s got the sort of voice you want to pipe into the bedroom of the girl you’re stalking, while she’s sleeping.
Can you believe the draft has been on for 20 minutes and nobody, I mean nobody has mentioned Sean Harrington? I’m aghast.
Darko Milicic plays for who? Emu Farm? I drive by one of those on my way to work. Emu’s is tasty.
How many times do you think they had to edit those I "am" ready and cut out all of the "be"’s?
Somebody call the Kansas City PD and see if they can put an APB out on Potter. Who’s gonna give us scouting reports on the Euro guys? We may have to put Pokemon to work.
Thank God the draft is tonight. It’ll take my mind off of the bullpen blowing what was an outstanding game today.
Kirk Hinrich looks like he belongs in that band with the kid from Rushmore.
And it’s not a Draft until Karl Malone’s knit-tie appears.
You know, watching this draft in the middle of the afternoon here in LA has made me long for the times when I used to watch the draft with my hilarious father. He’s so funny – he loves the Celtics and Boston is the best, and my girlfriend is really pretty. I met her at Niagara Falls.
I love Jimmy Kimmel. He is so funny.
Why do I look at the EA Sports commercial with Kirk Hinrich in it, where he’s wearing the maroon three stripe socks and immediately think he brought his own wardrobe to the shoot?
Kelly, mustard?
In the fridge, dick.
Were the fans chanting "Ma-cia Bra-dy?"
I know I was clapping along.
Nice shot of Dwyane Wade’s wife trying to lean in the shot so she could be on TV.
I’m pegging TJ Ford as the player least likely to grow into his teeth.
Hey, the WNBA All-Star Game is going to be in New York? Both fans should be so excited.
Nice to hear the NYC fans give Scott Layden a vote of confidence.
Jay Bilas is obsessed with LeBron’s body. Does Jay’s wife know about this?
Surprise!
Let’s see if Stern leaves Tirico dangling like he did EJ …
Yup.
Andy, I can’t make a "Bonfire of the Vanities" joke. You’re turn.
Gloria James is four years older than me. How much you want to bet she ends up on a pro-teen pregnancy poster?
Michelle Tafoya should have said, "Even though you knew you were going to be the Cavs number one pick, you still wore that stupid white suit, and now with that red hat on your head you look like an enormous bowling pin."
Good evening Andy, evening KD. Thanks for keeping all of us up to date… Personally, I’ve got Stocktake on all day and I’m popping into the office to check out what’s going on.
I have a feeling the C’s are going to draft my new main man Banks.
Tirico just misspoke, he said that James is the first player born in the state of the team that drafted him number one overall. I think we all know that both the Wizards and Kwame Brown are from the state of Confusion.
Matt, you’re on Banks’ side too? Love his game. Over 50% from the field as a PG? Best of any PG save for Ford.
It’s gettin’ Dark in here!
So take off all your clothes!
It’s getting’ Dark in…huh?
I don’t think the Celtics will draft me.
I don’t care how many times I see it, this Euro, "kiss/kiss/kiss" thing is still very unsettling.
Darko: "I’ve been in Detroit twice, nice place nice area. I’ve never been in downtown area …"
Well, of course not.
This guy makes Toni Kukoc sound like A.A. Milne.
This better not be a trend, Darko just kissed more guys than the cast of Queer As Folk.
Look the size of the crowds Darko’s used to playing in front of. There are like seven…eight fans in the stands. Too bad the Nuggets didn’t take him.
Comedy gold: Darko without a translator.
He’s never been to downtown Detroit. That explains why he hasn’t been shot yet.
The non-translator thing is not going well.
Michelle asked him two questions and he answered both with, "Take me to embassy!"
His mom sold a cow for what? How are you supposed to make jokes when everything is already so ridiculous.
Jim Gray just asked Paul Silas a question and Paul started his answer with, "You try that reach around crap on me and the Cleveland Clinic will be re-attaching your left arm."
Ah, the UCLA Nuggets.
Carmelo, good player.
Great candy bar.
Why was Jim Calhoun kissing a basketball?
I want to tackle Stuart Scott.
I mean, I know my name is "Kelly," but his name is "Stuart!"
Just one eye to go …
DJ Stuey has "interview the moms" duty?
Carmelo’s mom knows less English than Darko!
Dick Vitale’s constant ass-licking of Carmelo is making me not like the kid. Dick, slow down! He’s in the Association now, he can’t do anything for your career.
Oh, wait, no, that’s Billy Packer who loves college kids until they can’t help him make a buck anymore–sorry Dick, go on…
I like how ESPN doesn’t interview a single Mother until one starts breaking down.
Class with a capital "K."
Kiki, any specials tonight?
Hot wings? Apple-tinis? Anything?
I like Bosh. This is the only lottery pick who I’ve listened to, besides Wade maybe, who can talk his way out of a paper bag.
Great pick.
Damn, computer, crashes!
I’m back.
Bosh will probably pull Kevin O’Neill’s still-beating heart out of his chest by February.
Since you’re watching ESPN, you’re missing the Score’s coverage of Dan Jiggetts interviewing Jerry Krause.
I think he just denied having any knowledge of Jason (Jay) Williams ever riding a motorcycle.
This computer never crashes..oh, well…
What the hell kind of hat was that on Carmelo? Is he a Nugget or did he transfer to UNC?
Boeheim called Carmelo the "most fun player" he’s ever coached. What, he’s more fun than Pearl Washington and Derrick Coleman? You don’t say?
Chris Bosh just told Michelle Tafoya that he didn’t want to go to Toronto becasue he doesn’t think he can make it through customs without the condom full of heroin in his colon bursting.
OK, he didn’t really say that.
Out loud, anyway.
Good morning Pat Riley.
And remember, once again, death is not an option …
A Polish guy, or a 5-11 guard?
Hee hee hee…
What’s going on there? What about the 4th pick? The 3 first ones were boring, we all knew what they would be…
All the first 4 picks have gone according to plan – this is boring. And have we even had any trades yet?
I’m off to count some more stock.
He could have said "Tonight’s specials include Carmelo-ized Apples!"
I’m the 4th pick!
F$&*!
Riley takes Wade, and I’m pissed. He already has two ineffective wing players, why not add a Frenchman, and leave Wade for us? Bastard.
Pat Riley=pure evil.
Now the Bulls end up with a Frenchman?
I need a drink.
"S-I-O-H-V-A-U-G-H-N."
Only in Chicago!
As if we needed another reason to hate Riles.
Nice shot of Stu Scott’s lazy eye checking out Mrs. Wade’s cleavage.
Honestly, I don’t think John Paxson could have pulled the trigger on drafting a guy who can’t spell his own first name.
He’s the highest drafted Marquette player ever? Even over Jerome Whitehead? You don’t say…
Look at the hands on Siohvaughn!
Oh, wait. That’s the "Bob Costas" in me.
Fuck Riley! He’s quite pissed off! Wade is not the right choice at all! That doesn’t make sense…
Well, I can’t get over the hands on Siohvaughn’s mother.
Riley has to be trading Wade. Not to the Bulls, unfortunatly …
Pat Riley needs to learn to master the satellite phone delay. For chrissakes, even Geraldo Rivera figured it out.
How great would it have been if Riles had said, "We had to take Dwyane, because Eddie Jones sucks."
Riles said Wade’s wingspan is "plus six inches," What is he some sort of dwarf?
I can’t believe Riley didn’t take Ford, he loves those 5-11 guys. Hardaway, Best, Anthony Carter.
Hey trade me to the Heat! I can play for Riley. I played for a drunk guy, a freak (Floyd) and Cartwright!
Translation: Clippers pick big, white, draft bust.
Nice job Elgin. You never fail to astonish us.
Ha ha haa
Serves the Clippers right.
COuldn’t happen to a nicer front office.
At least a good talent wasn’t wasted on El Lay.
It’s not "Lee-Roy," Stu, it’s "Le Roi!"
I’m stuck here at work listening to the Score, and David Shuster was saying something about trading Fizer to someone when they let the Shuster’s report continue to run as they simultaneously went to David Stern announce Kamen to the Clips.
OK, I know I missed nothing important…
Chris Kaman’s dad just told DJ Stu that he gets so excited he nearly passed out once.
On a related note, in college I routinely drank until I passed out. If you want it bad enough, you’ll push yourself.
Jerry Krause just said that "Wade will be a real good player." Man, I’m glad the Score paid big bucks for that kind of analysis.
I already blew a bad French joke and the Bulls haven’t even picked yet.
Looking at Kamen’s parents, yeah, I wouldn’t worry about Chris, eh, "bulking-up."
They are all crazy… Where’s TJ Ford? Where’s Lampe? Why drafting Kaman? I think he’s a kind of Eric Montross guy…
I think this must be my signal to go home.
Krause: "If the Bulls go back to the triangle, Hinrich will be a good pick for them…
Before you talk about the European Jordan, you need to talk about the European Kukoc. He’s the best European player ever."
ME! ME! PICK ME NEXT!!!
How big is Kaman’s mom’s head? She had a Clippers’ cap on and it looked like she had a dot on her head. Did Jerry Krause measure her head? Maybe Elgin’s got some new theory?
Krause says this pick will be Jarvis Hayes (fine by me) or Kirk Hinrich (oh, shoot me dead now.)
Jerry also just said that Toni Kukoc is the best European player ever who’s not a center.
Somewhere, milk just came out of Dirk Nowitzki’s nose.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
Somebody else take over the drafting, I’m going to take all of my allergy medicine right now and let my head explode.
I can’t believe you’d rather have Jay "Busted My Ass" Williams. Maybe they’ll trade me to a team that can win.
Jamal Crawford is a shooting guard. He’s a got-damn shooting guard. But over Ford?
Two years ago, when we were pretending to run the Triangle, his hybrid skills would be the perfect fit for the Triangle. But Cartwright barely ran Triangle sets last year.
If they go back to the Triangle, yeah, ok, C+ pick.
If they don’t …?
Whither le Hamster?
Did John Paxson just draft himself?
Do we think one of those teams who wanted to trade for Biker Jay said they’d do the same trade if the Bulls could get them a slow, white, point guard with a combover?
He looks better with a hat on. Maybe the Bulls can add one to the uniform.
"I can’t be more happy." Once again, a Kansas grad dazzles us with his grammar.
Michelle says Chicago’s not that far from Iowa. Just a few hundred miles and about 100 IQ points.
Ironic thing is, both of Hinrich’s parents were sitting at that table on ESPN with their hands fully "extended."
I just kicked Chris Marcus in the nuts.
Oh, Kirky! Remember me? I get to school your ass seven times a year! Again.
Where’s TJ?????? Those GMs are obsessed with height…
At @#!$!#! work!
Is TJ Ford wearing a hat, or is he wearing the Shea Stadium infield tarp on his head? Wow.
Vitale loves Ford and Hinrich. That’s a shock, huh?
Dick, "I think if I need instant help, I want help right now."
Somebody get Dick a dictionary and circle "instant." Yikes, indeed.
TJ Ford is literally "mono-versatile."
Who else re-watched that EA Sports commercial with Hinrich and just started openly sobbing?
In front of the roommate.
And her friend.
And the dog.
Apparently, Byron Houston was not available.
At least the Knicks shot themselves in the foot with another undersized power forward. I feel a little better.
Somebody needs to tell Stu and these Knick Knerds that Othella Harrington went to Georgetown too.
I’m embarassed, Stuey made a Frederic Weis joke, too. I’m off my game ever since the Bulls drafted that f@#$ing elf.
Mike Sweetney=fat.
Great info from Michelle Tafoya that TJ Ford takes between 800 and 1,000 shots a day. Hey, whatever it takes to make 200, right TJ?
Mike Sweetney just said that he’s on a diet. He should try my diet. Whenever I get hungry, I masturbate! I’ve lost 40 pounds since Monday.
But I’m awfully chafed.
Can anyone explain to me what’s happened with Mrs Cassell? All through the draft previews I read, they talked about Milwaukee finding a replacement for Payton at the point. And now, they take Ford, a replacement for Payton at the point. GP’s a FA, no problem (or did he end up in gaol in Toronto). But Cassell – just when did he retire/get traded/die?
Vitale just said, "He’s one of my guys…I like."
He also meant to call Tirico and co. his "compadres" but forgot the com part.
I thought he was referring to Ryan Klesko and Sean Burroughs instead.
Between Mrs. Hayes and Stuey, they’ve got two good eyes. Maybe.
Why didn’t Michelle ask Jarvis, "Which one are you, Horace or Harvey?"
Scott Layden is on a tele-conference? His office is in the same building that the draft is being held in!
The only thing about Paxson’s possible vanillaphilishness is the possible selection of Luke Walton down the road.
If the NYC fans break out that hackneyed "over-rated" chant one more time, I’m going to bust.
Speaking of "going to bust."
A French "freak" (Bilas’ word, not mine) in San Francisco.
Straight out of central casting.
Andy Dolan is reporting that he’s now praying for a Kirk Hinrich-Mike Dunleavy trade.
How sad is that?
The only thing that makes you feel better, boys, is that the Knicks draft worse than you do…
Here come the all-important 11-15 picks. I’m on the edge of my seat.
Is it actually any consolation that desipio is updating faster then ESPN.com’s "Daft Cast"?
Sonics now very deep at tall, white, slow guy.
Nick plans on calling Kendall Gill for tips on how to have fun in the gloomiest city in the US.
What do you guys have against KU? As I recall, we played in the championship game…
Sorry guys. I just remembered that the Chicago Bulls drafted Kirk Hinrich in the 2003 NBA Draft.
I had to get offline and call up the Peace Corps.
Go ahead, KD, here’s your boy.
No sun, no pigment in Seattle.
Smart dude, thick, gets into the lane and settles down the half court.
Unlike Jason Williams.
Dumb dude, skinny, shoots from the outside and pushes the "transition" game into oblivion.
A great PG combo in Memphis.
Bilas just slams Ridnour! Nice.
Luke Ridnour couldn’t bench 185? Let’s hope he doesn’t hit it off with the fat groupies.
Dick just insulted Greg Anthony, and he didn’t mean to. I loved that.
Why don’t the Magic just draft a foot surgeon?
If Orlando takes Gaines, they have issues.
And I love big point guards.
But why hinder Jeryl Sasser’s progress?
Pavlovic still on the board. Who can’t utilise someone like him?
He’s like Doc Rivers, only with smaller–and less painful teeth.
Vitale tries to kiss ass, "he made like Anthony there with a penetration move."
Mmm, frozen chicken breast.
It’s not baked, it’s not roasted, it’s FROZEN!
Lampe?
The Polish guy’s still around.
Granted, the ESPN telecast is not nearly as much fun as the ones TNT spoiled us with. But at least we have not had a Chad Ford sighting.
Am I the only one who sees Chad and thinks that somebody shaved a possum?
Oooh, a flashlight…can…not…look…away…BLAM!
If only.
MMMMMMMMMM. Shaved ‘possum.
The spread here in the green room at Desipio World HQ included broasted chicken (hence, KD’s joke), Mountain Dew and some sort of Ben and Jerry truffle ice cream.
It almost makes it worth drafting Kirk Hinrich.
Nah.
Troy Bell, they thought he had a promise with the Timberwolves.
Could be great, could be a Delk, could be sh!t.
How about that analysis!
Celtics too cheap to play moving expenses?
Try listening to Ford try to make bad Rodney Rogers jokes over the phone during an hour-long call.
Andy Katz is reporting this will key a three-team trade, only he doesn’t know what three teams. I’m assuming one of them will be the Celtics.
How about THAT for analysis. Touche!
Rick Sund just said, "We’re looking for some young veterans, guys who have already been in the league."
Yeah. Thanks for defining young veteran, I thought you meant you were going to draft some guys from the Fifth Infantry in Baghdad.
Doc Rivers, still not in traction.
Boston have 2 mid-first round picks, and reach back into the beginning of the second?
Gaines would have been a better pick here.
And what about the Euros?
Doc Rivers looks like he wants to just scream, "Get me out of here! Grant Hill screwed me! Duncan’s not coming! Let me out! How many times can a guy ride that Hulk rollercoaster at Universal Studios?"
By the way, that Hulk rollercoaster…
Best…coaster…ever.
Now, back to the draft, already in progress at Desipio.com
Tirco’s been good so far, I’m not even tempted to throw that email address out there.
Although I just opened by third beer.
Zarko Cabarkapa.
And why not?
um, did I say "pick" – I meant "fit".
Lampe? Where’s Lampe?
I love Chalupas! The Santa Fe one is my favorite. Mmmmm.
What’s this guy’s real name Zarko Chupacabra?
Zarko Charbroiler?
Zarko Cabarkapa?
Who knew?
Bilas says "He’s got good ball skills for his size." I’ve found that if you’ll change your underwear every day, you don’t handle your balls nearly as often. Just a tip.
Zarko Cabarkapa is good buddies with Nenad Kristic?
Nobody remembers Nenad, but he’s a solid 7-footer whose rights the Nets own.
The Nets are screwed, though. Notice how Byron Scott has ZERO assistant coaches left? The other two left for Washington. Even Mike O’Koran, who has been out of New Jersey for 484 days in his entire life.
Listen to how giddy Tafoya sounded when she said, "we have a translator!!!"
Is that Zarko’s translator or his cab driver?
Got to love the pinstriped suit coat over the Hawaiian shirt look.
Zarko’s translator said, "No officer, I did not know she was prostitute, I thought she was tour guide."
KD, not only are you guys out-refreshing Espn and jazzyj, but now you’ve started trumping yourself…
Lampe’s still in the green room, just in case your hometown team is thin in the "Pimply Polack with a bad mustache" department.
Pleeeeaaseee…. they are all crazy. How can Phoenix take Cabarkapa ahead of Lampe? This yugo guy is a selfish and underachieving player, playing in a minor yugo team, whereas Lampe is a brilliant kid with a huuuuge upside…
Natalie Imbruglia’s in that new Bean movie.
I can’t think of any other sh!tty pop singer who I’ve missed more since 1998.
Remember way back…about two hours ago…when David Aldridge had to spend five minutes explaining that Michael Jordan WAS NOT being consulted on who the Bucks should draft?
On ESPN.com they have a headliner for that wretched ESPNInsider that says Ford: Bucks pick Jordan’s call.
They have to take time to refute their own crap.
Morons.
Dude, jazzyj’s still around? That guy’s a legend.
Me likey David West.
Though Bilas just called him a mini-Derrick Coleman, and then said he’s a shorter Drew Gooden.
Might as well label him a less-talented Tyrone Hill. Blah.
How bad is it when your hometown team is also the team you play for, and that "home town" happens to be in New Orleans, and you STILL don’t want to play there?
Run, P.J., run.
Is that a senior? A college senior, to clarify…
Ahh, KD – it’s not a Bean movie. IMHO Natalie has as good a butt as Cameron Diaz.
Tom Tolbert just urged Red Auerbach and Phil Jackson to go "f@#$ each other." You had to hear it, I guess.
As for Natalie Imbruglia, she was on the Graham Norton Show one night and I’ve been in love with her ever since.
Sigh.
Out there, Brian Cook is lurking, just waiting to break the hearts of whatever team is foolish enough to draft him.
Our first guy out of the audience!
Does he continue the Jazz’s "best white guy available" strategy.
If you ring a bell does Pavlovic salivate?
If you ring Troy Bell does he salivate?
What languages does he speak? Because unless he speaks "Sloan" he’s in for a tough ride.
Bilas just said Pavlovic has "great explosion skills."
We had a friend like that in 4th grade, and his parents just started letting him use the mircowave last month, after 13 years.
Now, long-range, what have got for me now???
For some reason, I can’t find a link to espn.com’s "final" Mock
Draft – just to compare.
What is Tirico talking about? Did he just say that 9/11 made it attractive to draft foreigners because they can help us look for terrorists or something?
Kelly, get that addy ready.
For the record, this year’s NBA Live commercials, easily the lamest ever.
Jones and Bell to Memphis for Banks and the 26th pick.
If I’m correct, this isn’t even the first Dahntay Jones the Celtics have drafted. Didn’t they take the guy out of Mississippi State a few years back?
Katz says the three way trade is between Memphis and Boston.
I think we need one more way, there Andy.
And why can’t the Bulls and Warriors work something out for Hinrich (GSW need a PG) and Pietrus (we need a … sigh) ?
Thanks, mate.
Now that playing NBA Live is better than watching an actual game, they don’t need to advertise as much.
Btw, this is a picture of Chi’s own (and potential Foo Fighters bassist) Tyson Chandler at the Luvabulls tryout:
http://www.nba.com/media/bulls/chandler_030624.jpg
Dick Vitale says, "Can you imagine playing for Mike Kryzewski and Hubie Brown?" I can’t imagine the things hearing those two voices will do to your auditory system. Ouch.
Nice Phil Jackson commercial where he wins on three lotto tickets in a row then loses the fourth. But take another look at what he’s buying in that commercial. I believe he bought a 20 ounce bottle of urine. Only in California…
Phil had a test comin’ up.
How do they pass that one tope suit around so fast?
I am disappointed that we cannot see much of the posse’s this year.
Boris? Atlanta just doesn’t get it, do they?
Diaw has been sliding by on the fact that his dad was a high-jumper from Senegal and his Mom was "the best center in French basketball history."
Notice I didn’t write "best FEMALE center …"
Is Dick Vitale taking shots whenever the camera is not on him? It seems that he keeps getting drunker as the draft goes on.
Dick should write for us.
This draft is crazy, man! I assure you that the biggest steal will be Lampe.
I love Jerry West. Did he just say, "Yeah, there’s truth to that rumor, we just made that trade,"?
I’m going to disagree with Greg Anthony. I don’t think Boston needs a third scoring option. I think what they need is somebody to tell Antoine Walker to stop shooting so damn much.
Is Jim Gray’s mic not working? Oh, the horror! Maybe it will electrocute him.
Aren’t there already a couple of dicks writing for you?
Pronounced Plan-an-itch, he already has a deal with Tinactin lined up.
Does anyone realize that there could be four guys whose first names start with "Z" taken in this Draft?
Most since 1962.
Dick’s not the only one doing shots during the draft.
Andy Katz is reporting a Krause-like story about how the Nets attacked Plananitch with an aluminum baseball bat and dislodged a vertebrae so that nobody else would draft him.
Isn’t that what he said?
Speaking of shots, here’s Karry…
Wallace priced himself out of POrtland’s range for the GM job. How bad must you be if Paul Allen doesn’t want to overpay for you, right Mattus?
John Hammond, from Detroit, would be a great pick. He knows his Euros.
Great stuff. Keep it coming, Dolan.
Dolan – Do you let Prior pitch the 9th?
Hey, anybody got anymore Cold Turkey?
Where you from Majcie?
This is crazy: Diaw is a guy who averaged a mere 7 ppg in the French league. Ok, he’s playing for the best team out there, but I can assure you that Pau Orthez wouldn’t even be a top-8 team in Spain or Italy. Just look at their Euroleague results: out in the first round. Moreover, Diaw has not made significant progresses. I have seen him for 3 consecutive years playing against Barcelona, and he is neither a brilliant stopper nor a scoring threat. Scouts are really going crazy!
If anyone gets bored, read the Sushi Pants story:
http://tuckermax.com/Stories/sushi_pants.htm
I think if Bo had a brother his name would be Luke. Right?
"Just some good old boys, never meaning no harm. Beat all you ever saw, been in trouble with the law, since the day they was born.."
OF COURSE YOU LET ME PITCH THE NINTH!!! Do you pull Joe Montana for the final drive of the game? Do you let Jack Haley rather than Jordan shoot the game-winner? Do you ever let Chip Caray within an arm’s length of a World Series?
Silas just said, more or less, about the high schooler:
"He’s more or less f!cked, but going to the Trail Blazers, he’ll be doubly f!cked."
Please, Lakers, take Luke Walton. The next Rick Fox, times ten.
Did anyone catch the poor mans scottie pippin comment? Isnt he the guy that sells beer in wrigley on the 3rd or 1st base side in the 200 or so section? I didn’t know he played basketball as well…
Is tolberts goatee uneven? I think it is a quarter inch to the right.
Someone tell Jim Gray that Jerry West doesn’t work for the Lakers anymore.
Honestly, I love our new buddy Potekan. Can you imagine that we actually have an "analyst" who has seen these Euro guys play? Even ESPN doesn’t have that. Worldwide leader…my ass.
Jim Gray "spoke with Kobe Bryant extensively"–unfortunately, Jim forgot to turn the camera on.
Jim’s forehead is so big you could show drive-in movies on it.
Jim just confused Jerry West and Jerry Buss and his Lakers news on Phil Jackson made no sense.
If Jason Kidd ends up in Denver I’ll eat my freaking hat.
Actually, I’ll eat TJ Kidd’s hat…it’s bigger.
Jason Kidd believes that teams will be able to develop sign-and-trades between July 1st and July 16th? Yeah f*(&’n right.
See you in August, JK.
Phil Jackson will eat Brian Cook for lunch…in the first minicamp.
So long Brian. It was nice knowing you.
Do they know what irony means?
Phil will have him for lunch? Heck, when I decided to play even I had him for lunch!
Thx Andy, but what I say is all based on what I have seen.
I’m a Barcelona fan, the team that has just won the Euroleague championship and that will surely beat the Grizzlies in a friendly next October. I saw how Pau Gasol grew from a skinny and raw forward to a dominant force in Europe in just 10 months.
And I have also seen how those yugo, croatian and french teams can’t even face my team’s players. Want more? Planicic is worse than Welsch, the one selected by the GSW last year and that has barely played here in the NBA.
Diaw is worse than an awful lot of european and even american players who have to earn some money playing in Europe. Cabarkapa will never be a star.
And so on…
Cartman, on channel 249, just summed this all up:
"They mock us in Kansas."
Let’s take Topeka!
How long before we see shots of Brian Cook’s mom sitting next to Jack Nicholson?
The Subway commercial with the kid from the Subway and the annoying pitchman in the bank tempting the customers to go have a sandwich? All of the bank customers are white. Do you think they’d get in trouble if they did the same on in a Payday Loans store and had all of the customers be black?
There was a rumor that Paxson was in love with the guy that the Pistons just took, the Argentinian.
We could have had him at #7.
Larry Brown must be so excited to have guys like Darko, Pepe, Carlos and Mehmet.
Larry will quit by January.
Talk about needing to cut off immigtation! I think we have only a couple American-born draft picks. Look at all these jobs being lost!
Give us your tired, your poor…
Did we really pick Kirk Hinrich? Did that really happen? Apparently, the deal with the devil the Bulls had officially expired when Cliff Levingston went to jail.
Where the hell is Ron Burke when you need him?
By the way, Delfino is the best pick I have seen since the first ones. He is a slasher, a streaky shooter and a brilliant defender. He was able to hold Euro star Dejan Bodiroga -remember him from the world championships last summer? He won the gold for yugoslavia against Argentina doing it all at the end of the game- to one of his worst performances of the season and, believe me, this is not easy.
I’m a huge fan of Pat Buchanan’s e-mail address. Check it out if you missed it.
The commish just said "doodie!"
David Stern sure enjoyed reading that name.
I think the idea with picking the bad europeans is that at least when they fail at basketball they wont become commentators that try to impress people with their word of the day toilet paper.
Kevin McHale just stepped in it.
I like the potential of a Carlos Delfino – Pinky Tuscadero backcourt somewhere down the line.
I wanted Joe to answer Mike Tirico’s "What was your reaction when you saw Darko work out the first time?" question with "I had to change my shorts."
Or "Why did you fire Rick Carlisle?" with "Because he’s a red ass, Mike."
he just said doodie… childish i know but hilarious…
Ebi can shoot.
He can’t "make," but he can shoot.
The Celts get a big kid.
Please come to Boston for the spring time
We’re staying here with some friends and they’ve got lots of room
Ainge says that Perkins and Banks were the guys Boston wanted all along.
Everytime I see Danny Ainge on TV, I expect Sedale Threatt to appear on screen and punch him out.
Damn, I miss Sedale Threatt.
What penitentary is he in? Does anybody know?
Tirico: "What do you see on Perkins that has growth potential."
Ainge: "He’s got a mole on his forehead that looks like it might be a growth."
The Spurs are on the clock and will choose the best non-personality available.
Is kendrick wearing county prison orange in his picture?
No it’s Stateville Orange. A subtle difference. Matches Illini Orange well.
The new Charlie’s Angels may suck major ass, but I’m fully behind any movie that features "Thunderstruck" in the trailer. To say nothing of that tri-rack potential.
Jane Fonda was great in Barbosa.
This Barbosa Clown gets drafted, yet I school the USA Pan Am team in 1987 and never get a whiff of the association!?!?!
I think the Sedale-for-Sam Vincent trade was the first one I was ever pissed at.
Until I met Vincent at a pool hanging out with his "girlfriend" in Arlington Heights.
How sad is it that the Knicks, who decided to pass on Lampe at #9, are going to get him at #30?
We’re down to one last first-rounder. Mr. Relevant if you will. This guy gets a guaranteed three-year contract and if form holds, he’ll suck ass, big time.
What do you think can be done to make the NBA draft more of a spectacle? Bring in circus animals?
KD is right. At least I hope the knicks get Lampe soon… they are all craaaaazy!
I was a Mr. Relevant once. I think I was the last Jayhawk the Bulls drafted, too. Hinrich can’t work out any worse than me, right?
The ACC MVP goes number 30? Nice league. No wonder they need the ‘Canes and Hokies.
Worst … email … address … ever.
I was a Mr. Relevant for the Bulls, too. Now I’m just a bad penny.
I HAVE A CHANCE!!!
Potekan, what Desipio Media Enterprises needs you to do is scout NFL Europe!
OK, stop your laughing over there. A few decent players come out of the European experiment every once in a while.
Plus a league where Henry Burris suffers an injury that will make it impossible for him to make the Bears can’t be all bad.
Hey everybody, it’s the Russ Granik Show!
Have I mentioned again, how much I love the Don Nelson Visa commercial where he tries to speak German and ends up calling Steve Nash a "hoser" instead?
Eight foreign born players went in round one. Nine if you count Akron as foreign.
Now the Knicks get to wait a year for Lampe. Bastards.
They get him cheap, this guy almost goes at #5, and yet the Knicks get him.
Some guy actually brought a "Light the Lampe" sign to the draft.
Who knew?
That dumbass Lampe couldn’t spit out his gum before leaving the green room? He was only in there for three hours.
Ah, screw it. The Knicks only took the next Wang Zhi-Zhi.
Best Knicks draftee in a few years!!!! The 30th 2003 Draft pick! Maciej Lampe!
Really, I’m quite sure they won’t regret it. They may leave him for a year or two in Real Madrid and call him back when he’s a "real" star.
By the way, I hate football, I find it slow, boring and nonsense. Sorry, guys!
I had to make sure my breath was fresh in case Darko wanted to kiss me.
You have to love the guy yelling "Sehorn!" at the top of his lungs during DJ Stu’s interview of the fans.
Jay Bilas is breaking down Lampe’s game and basically urinating all over it. I love Jay right now.
Michelle Tafoya looks hot. She does. Really.
Who gave Lampe the shiner? Yikes.
Where’s he from, Queens? He speaks better English than Hinrich.
Oh, Michelle just said he got the shiner in a workout. She’s the best, isn’t she?
Cleveland gets a shooter with bad bangs. Solid pick.
The funniest guy in the draft. He said if he changed his name to Koponovich and wandered off to Serbia for a year, he would have been a lottery pick.
Jay’s actually been really good.
Here’s the quote of the night, though:
"I find it slow, boring and nonsense."
If you do a Google search of "NBA Draft Live," Desipio is third in line. Andy, more people are tuning into Desipio World HQ than you might think.
Damn those Lakers. Damn them to hell.
YES!
Walton to the Lakers!
Good basketball wins. The Gods are smiling, Bill Russell is cackling. Awesome.
YES!
Walton to the Lakers!
Good basketball wins. The Gods are smiling, Bill Russell is cackling. Awesome.
Great pick for the Lakers. I hate them. I just hate them.
Who’s left for the Bulls? Other than Sean Harrington.
Hey, how about Kirk Penney? He’d be great, Pax. You could even race him after practice…and win.
Pick me! Pick Me! OK, I’m too small, slow and have the worst knees for a 23-year-old in history. But I was an Indiana Mr. Basketball, just like Damon Bailey
Whoops.
I drink and I get giddy and sometimes I spill things.
Phil’s trying the goatee, because, you know, 1997 was a lot of fun.
Whew, first trade of the night, and it’s a doozy.
And at #33 the Miami Heat take Jerome Beasley, from UND…no, not Notre Dame…North Dakota.
Winners from this draft? You know your team has done well if you don’t care about the 2nd round pick.
For the record, I like Ebi at Minnesota.
And you know successful teams with sensible GM’s make ‘wise’ choices at the end of drafts that other, loser franchises, teams would simply screw up.
Hey man, fuck off! ;) Sorry for not writing perfect English, I know the sentence is, by the way, nonsense. However, I’ll say it again: football is boring, slow-paced and… no comments about it!
Actually, it’s the second trade. We also have the
Celtics sending their two first rounders for the two first rounders from Memphis.
The Bulls might trade for Beasley because as David Aldridge says, "The Bulls are always looking for young big men."
If we’re looking for somebody from the Fighting Sioux to save us, we’re screwed.
And don’t we have three second rounders, not two?
Coverdale, I invite you to look at my knees, especially after my "workout" from yesterday.
I also invite Tawny.
Bucks get Baby Shaq.
Bulls get Beasley? Ick.
Loved him and Plato.
Wait, or did I love Todd Bridges and Dana Plato?
Sophocles? That’s a handle.
After all this build-up, the Bulls will go home with Hinrich and a D-II player from a state that apparently has not discovered the hair brush?
Beaseley to the Bulls for their 2 No. 2 draft picks is what Aldridge reported
Hey, now, Pokemon, we’re all friends here. Besides we prefer f@#$ to what you wrote. What about the kids?
The kids don’t need that kind of language.
Now, pardon me while I try and make another poop joke…
Naw man, Potekan, that’s the absolute best way to describe. I actually wrote that down.
The Greeks I’ve seen in Chicago don’t look like this Sofoklis guy.
Nice to see our lottery pick getting hit in the head with a basketball in that ESPN promo.
Hey, if you saw my offensive scheme, you’d think football was nonsense, too!
Of course, if you saw Henry Burris or Shane Matthews throw the ball, you’d at least find it comedic.
Simone? That horrid Al Pacino movie? Ahhhhhh!
I have Hubie Brown’s shirt.
Someday I hope not to have Hubie Brown’s stroke.
Hubie Brown is on my TV and his shirt is causing me to seize.
He looks as though he might be embalmed. Could it be that he died and Jerry won’t tell him?
Having the most wins in Memphis history is a lot like having the most corn in your stool.
Sorry, guys.
The Bulls pick Jason Caffey again!
What pick are we up to? Does it even matter anymore? I’m off to lunch.
Workout? Did you get a shiner?
Mario Austin is ok. I had to scout him for some scouting service last season, not a whole lot there.
At least nothing that Baxter doesn’t give the Bulls.
Good touch, good moves, but no hops and so-so footwork.
This shows how young the NYC/MSG crowd is: they’re not booing Cartwright.
Tirico just called us the Chicago Bills.
Cartwright just called Hinrich "gritty." His hair certainly looks gritty.
Tirico is asking for Jay Williams pelvis update. Honestly, you can never get enough Jay Williams pelvis news.
What pick are we up to? Does it even matter anymore? I’m off to lunch.
Workout? Did you get a shiner?
Mmmm bop!
Maybe the Wiz can draft Danny Miller and reunite the unathletic Terps all on one NBA team.
Potekan, seriously, my man, I’m using that one. Slow, boring, nonsense, perfect.
Unless Tecmo Bowl is involved.
Washington takes Blake, how nice of them.
We all saw how it turned out with Mateen Cleaves.
I do think he has a place in the NBA, but he needs to get out of the Maryland/Virginia/DC area.
Somebody draft Matt Carroll for chrissakes. If Pat Garrity can play in the NBA, Matt Carroll sure as hell can.
I think Dick Vitale seriously thinks the Wiz are joining the Canes and Hokies in the ACC.
Blake and Dixon will be a nice combination in 2 preseason games.
Is he related to Danny Vranes?
Got to like the Knick fan making the fake, eh, fellatio movements while the stiff lopes to the stage.
Everyone, put on ESPN Classic right now!
Andy will thank me later.
Slavko’s suit coat is big enough to use as a car cover. Yikes.
Damn you TJ. Damn you to hell.
That’s not funny. Where’s Sedale Threatt when you really need him.
It’s all Joe Klein’s fault.
What the hell is Darren Rovell doing on my TV?
I love it when ESPN trots their creepy .com guys on TV.
The dogs in the neighborhood go nuts every time Chad Ford or Brandon Funston darkens the picture tube.
Someone drafted Willy Deane?!?
Dammit TJ.
Somewhere, my father is weeping.
Nice of ESPN to basically stop telling us who got picked, so Darren Rovell can whine about how Kobe only gets $40 million from Nike. Shut up. Now.
Warriors (40) DErrick Zimmerman?
Sonics (41) Willie Green? The ex-Cub?
Magic (42) Some guy from Georgia, not the Jim Harrick Georgia.
Sal Mineo? I don’t know any of these guys.
Dick Vitale "someone’s listening to visions of grandeur." Huh?
Rick Rickert went pro? Are you serious? How much weed is there in Minneapolis?
Vitale just realized that the Knicks took Sweetney over Collison.
Vitale loves the Brian Cook pick. Oh, Dick…we love you…but you’re dumb.
Dick Vitale: Xenophobe to the stars.
Keith Bogans?
Make sense that the GM that’s about to get fired drafts him.
In October look in the agate type for: CBA- Rockford Lightning sign Keith Bogans, G
Zaur Pachulia is a true steal. He’s tall, strong and energethic enough to be a solid contributor in a couple of years’ time.
James Carville’s badger needs to fall from a hayloft.
Two things I’ll get rich if I can invent.
1) A device that can delay your radio so that you can synch it up with your satellite TV to avoid the three second difference.
2) Something that automatically changes your TV to CMT whenever the "Jessica Andrews — There’s More To Me Than You" video comes on.
Oh, and by the way, the Olsen Twins are at 360 days and counting.
Dwyer’s 9:48 post is the non-sequitir of the night.
Did Dikembe Mutombo get drafted again? Who’s that guy?
Somebody from Senegal just got picked by Houston.
The Bulls took Matt Bonner?
I’m going to start eating hair gel like it’s frosting.
Matt Bonner? Who’s making these selections, Bill Tobin?
Wow. This draft absolutely sucks ass. Incredibly bad.
Jay Bilas just said, "He’s slow, but he’s got a special skill." Great, he can ride the short bus to the games.
I am guaranteeing that Kyle Korver goes to Utah here.
They have it in their mission statement to draft the best whitey available.
KC Johnson and Roman Modrowski are online, and I feel like IM’ing them taunts about having to write these post-Draft articles without losing their Spicy Szechuan chicken all over their keyboards.
I love Jay Bilas. "He’s got a pretty stroke, but they don’t go in."
I think KD just had a pretty stroke.
Bilas — "He shoots a pretty good ball, it just doesn’t go in."
Wow. Fan-tastic.
If you had me in the Death Pool, today’s your lucky day.
Strom Thurmond?
What is today, the 26th? Damn, I had Greg Dulli, Christian Slater, and that old skinny guitarist from Hole.
KD’s name dropping like Larry King at a Golden Globes after hours.
Funny though, I doubt dropping KC or Roman’s name gets you laid.
The only people on my IM list are girls I molested and who think they are entitled to a second date.
That’s a joke for any of you future dates out there. Really. I swear. I’m not kidding.
Oh, like they’d read this far down the article anyway…
I have John Paxson for the 27th.
The article doesn’t mention how Strom died.
Heheh, Luke’s been smokin’.
Strom’s dead? How can they tell?
He was an awful man, but I loved how he’d grope the female senators and they couldn’t do anything about it because he was 100 years old and it "could" have been an accident.
Ernie Grunfeld just discredited Chad Ford.
Ernie’s got a nice lisp, huh?
Luke Walton needs to master the phone. I’ll bet if he went to U-Dub he’d know how to use one.
Tirico should ask Luke if he’s got any of that Kansas candy left.
Tirico to Luke: "You’ve seen Jerry Garcia naked in the front yard."
Who hasn’t?
Tirico: "Is it great to stay out in Southern California and play for the Lakers?"
Walton: "No. I was pulling for Minnesota or Toronto or Denver."
I didn’t need to hear from Tirico that Luke Walton saw Jerry Garcia naked.
"Hey Luke, have you been in a Turkish prison?"
"Do you like Gladiator movies, Luke?"
Honestly, that National Drug Council commercial about how "if you play ball you won’t have time for drugs" should have Keith Hernandez, Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry on it as spokesmen.
The smoke away commercial has this lady on it saying, "I quit smoking for three days." The part they cut out was, the three days I quit for were Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.
Kyle Korver is off the board. I repeat, Kyle Korver is off the board.
Paxson’s all-stiff draft strategy was just thrown a wrench. I think he can recover though. I think the "Kirk Penney" thing is a real possibility.
The Nets just drafted Hilary Swank.
The NYC fans are now chanting "Fire Tolbert."
If ESPN wants me to get any sleep tonight, they have to stop reminding me that the Bulls drafted Kirk Hinrich.
Why don’t the NYC fans chant for Jayson Williams. After all, it’s because of his party that Tom has a job. "Killed the Limo Driver" clap clap, clapclap…
I should name drop Loran McDonald, who has this on the away message of his IM:
"Kirk Hinrich, welcome to the Legacy,"
Mark Randall.
How greeat a draft pick do I look like now?
Jim Gray said Cleveland is "up in arms" over the LeBron James pick.
Jim doesn’t know what that means does he?
Most of these second rounders are so unknown, there’s no pre-written scouting report on them. And that’s not even the Euros.
Eating hair gell – I thought you already did. "New Shimmer – it’s a floor wax and a desert topping"
New Orleans have quietly had a very good draft.
A trade involving Keith Bogans? Someone actually wants him?
Jim Gray’s assignment should have been the exclusive interview with basketball’s banned for life player hoping for reinstatement, Roy Tarpley.
"Roy, we know you snorted more snow than falls annually in Buffalo. How about apologizing tearfully on my shoulder here so I look real good and maybe you get reinstated too?"
Rick Rickert to the T’Wolves. I’m underwhelmed.
Tirico "teased" us with a Bogans trade rumor. Oooh.
If Coors Light wants to list accomplishments, I’ll play:
"I once woke up next to an ex-girlfriend who was crying because of all the sweet things I said to her and how she finally knew the real me. I still have no idea what I said."
Has anyone drafted Remon Van der Hare? He’s the real deal… if you want to spoil a pick, of course.
A lot of height, but no talent, no speed, no banging, no strenght, no shooting abilities, no rebounding skills… the perfect player!
Mark Cuban is working on a passable haircut.
Mark Cuban proves that if he has $1.5 billion, he thinks sleeves cost $1.6 billion.
Kyle Korver to the Sixers for one toll on the NJ Turnpike… How exciting!
Russ Granik just said Philly traded Keith Moreland. Yeah, no kidding, they did that in like 1981.
Kyle Korver is now a Sixer. That’s…great?
Mr. Irrelevant is (Pistons)—some greek guy. Big whup.
Check out the height of this guy the Nets just drafted…
New Jersey: Kyle Korver – Creighton
Position: Guard
Height: 6-107
Weight: 210
So Kyle is 14 feet tall? Impressive.
I did enjoy Jay Bilas’ "He can’t guard the chair I’m sitting in" comment. Nice.
Hey, Chris Marcis didn’t get drafted? Maybe he should have gotten off KD’s couch.
Damn! The Bulls just traded Matt Bonner to the Raptors for a future second rounder.
His cheekbones are 6-2.
OK, well ESPN has hung it up, and you are all welcome to hang out here and yak away, but I think four and a half hours is enough.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and every one who posted.
Special thanks to Kelly Dwyer for a lot of very funny work. Thanks to TJ Brown for stopping by, and our Spanish correspondent Potekan. It’s always a lot of fun and this year was no different.
Kirk Freakin’ Hinrich? Blecch.
At espn.com’s ‘Draft Game’, Jim Paxson just won.
With all these trades for future 2nd-rounders flying about, I bet one team is actually trying to monopolise the entire 2nd round in like 2009. My guess is Toronto.
I’m just about to buy a white suit.
Bye guys, it was fun! Nice to meet you, see you next year for the 2004 Draft (or earlier if you need my scouting services ;)
Steve Kashul (yeah, the quintissential expert on Bulls basketball): The Bulls were set to send J-WIll and No. 7 to the Nuggetts for No. 3 (Carmello).
Steve Kashul then ripped into Williams. "Several members of the Bulls organization are very upset with Jay WIlliams right now."
You think? IF that rumor is true (and that’s a big if), I’d see to it that BOTH of Williams’ legs get amputated.
The ‘dark side’ of philosophy is compassed both by what it has failed to do in defence and preservation of its own mission – the love of wisdom – and by what this failure has permitted the enemies of open and reasoned inquiry to entrench in its place – the worship of folly. by texas hold’em
