SoxFan1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:02 PM) That might be the biggest instant downgrade for a #1 seed in history. (The 98 Bulls werent' a 1 seed were they?) They were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) Apparently one of those will be Tristan Smith at 7. F*ck the heck? Tristan Thompson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) That's CRAZY. Tyreke Evans better be in that deal or San Antonio fans should just stop caring. That'd be a hell of a coup for Sacramento though. Parker/Evans/Jefferson/Casspi/Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how San Antonio can agree on that deal. Parker's contract is a bit hefty, but it's not insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I quit. There is so much being reported right now. Bobcats went from wanting Thompson at 7 to now Biyombo. Jimmer could go to SAC at 10 or they could trade it for Parker/Jefferson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 KBerg_CBS Ken Berger Word among execs is the Bobcats have moved up to 7 to select Bismack Biyombo. Tonight is going to be zany. No one has any idea if these players are any good and execs are just throwing s*** around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) That's real bad. That's really not that bad. If that's his absolute basement, you could do a whole lot worse. I think he'll be considerably better. I watched him play in some World vs US prospect game or something a while back, and he dominated the paint against other guys who will be draft picks. He's got a Marcus Camby/Theo Ratliff ceiling.

He's got a Marcus Camby/Theo Ratliff ceiling. Anthony is pretty damn bad. Even the super-shallow Heat don't play him for 20 minutes per game. The only reason he's a remotely viable option for them is because they have two elite scorers and another solid one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
