Nifty...well, here's hoping those Knicks keep on losing. Gotta love the Eddy Curry trade...now, if NY can get a lottery pick, HELLO flipflop of picks with Da Bulls!

Story here: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html

 

He is going to be number 1 pick right?

 

Not concensus...A top 2 at the least...

 

No surprise here. It depends on who gets the lottery pick on whether or not he is #1 pick. I think he is going to be a great success in the NBA

 

who is the first pick going to be?

 

so hope..

 

Like I said, it's not a concensus...Oden is either 1 or 2...but, you can't go wrong either way apparently. Depends on the needs of the team.

 

you are my first pick in my heart










j/k hell no.

 

^ What the fark...?!?




:ghey:

 

:ghey:

 

If Greg Oden comes out, he will undoubtedly by the #1 pick. This guy is a phenom, the talent this guy has is still raw, but far superior to any player in the college level. I know Durant is gifted as well, but you can not pass up a 7’1 feet center with this much ability.

 

durant i think will make it in the nba being an impact in his first season.

oden's game is not refined. its very rough. he will need a vvery good coach to teach him to finetune his stuff.

 

It really depends on which team he goes to.

 

in the past, the idea was that you can never overlook a talented and skilled big man. five years ago, no team would have considered taking durant first.

but the nba has changed so much recently, and small ball's become the blueprint for the style of play and winning. i agree that it really depends on which team will have the first pick, and that team will have to base their decision on needs and personnel. i think they'll both be terrific players though.

 

so who do you believe.. his father or his agent?

 

Blah! Every single team in the league needs a primetime center. Only team that wouldn’t pick Oden 1st would be Houston (with Yao), though it would be cool if they did, it would be a flashback of Duncan/Robinson for the Spurs. I think Durant would be an impact player now, but long-term, Oden is a guy a team can build around.

I totally think Oden will come out. Who in their rightful mind can pass up 30million a year? I know the college experiences and maybe a nation championship is “priceless” but how can you walk away from that kind of $$$

 

why do you turn :ghey: on yumyum all the time

 

so come again with the past trades and how it effects chicago in the upcoming draft? I forget

 

Bulls have the right swap 1st round picks (2006 + 2007) with the Knicks as specified in the Eddy Curry trade..

I envy the bulls

 

yea, the bulls got it good.

 

oh yeah! that's righttt...

for da bulls on that trade

 

the celtics better not get fucked in this lottery like the Tim Duncan debacle....

 

oh how the nba would be so different if the celtics landed duncan instead of mercer and billups. would pitino still be coaching pro? would we have seen a new dynasty in boston? you know the nba front office would have loved to see more success in the major northeastern cities.

 

 

The Bulls need Oden and a more firey coach. Skiles I dunno, he's not the type of coach I won't think could lead the Bulls to the title.

 

seriously... Boston needs to land Oden or Durant and then move some of the young guys who have stepped up in value for a good veteran or two... also they need to fire Rivers...

I would consider Pierce, Green, Jefferson, and as Rondo untouchable... Thing that sucks is that I really like some of the young guys, but i am sick of waiting...

 

and you know what's even more frustrating than waiting for the young'uns to finally grow is trading them away and then seeing them become perennial all-stars.

i remember watching portland in the late 90's and thinking jermaine o'neal is going to be a stud (no homo). he just never got any burn because of sheed, brian grant, and sabonis. then he gets traded for dale davis and boom! now the rest is history.
