2007 NBA Drafta-ganza

I tried to format this...gchat doesn't translate to blogger. Their both Google, dammit, it should work. But now I can be done with this and move on to other things.

The following are heavily researched thoughts and opinions of 2 NBA draft-niks. Prepare yourselves.

JT: Music choice: “It Ends Tonight” by the All-American rejects. Interesting decision for a group of young men getting ready to begin their NBA careers. It’s a paradox, to say the least.
JT: Don’t worry, Dickie V. is rocking the fully buttoned Polo, as per usual. And he just compared Oden to Ewing, Mourning, Duncan and Hakeem. So if he isn’t a 12-time MVP, disappointment.
JT: Bilas just called Durant a “scoring savant”. I’ve never heard the word savant used after anything but “idiot.” I’ll trust Jay that he meant it in a good way.

Stuart Scott interviewing KD
JT: stu scott keeping it surprisingly toned down
JE: awkward moment between stu and durant
Camera on Joa-Quim

oh my gosh!!!
JT: lol

OH SHIT
JE: WHAT is HE WEARING
JT: HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

BOWTIE!!!!!
JT: SalPal sighting! surprise surprise...he's in philly
most exciting thing is seeing how the 76ers will try to match the Kevin Kolb genius
JE: and later, he'll be shown with Lakers uniforms

ahhh
or not
that's jim gray
JT: Jim Grey

he's uber-gay for the Lakers
JT: Brewer's 'stache is epic
JE: i still can't believe Noah

JT: Spencer Hawes lucks like a huge womanJE: that was some moment right there

lol, he is a huge woman
JT: Thornton looks like a cold-blooded killer

JE: and we need 14 guys to select greg oden
high five!!!
JT: we win!!!

JT: give it to me stephen
don't let me down
JE: what the F
JT: I expect something ridiculous every time he opens his mouth. His cadence is ridiciulous. I think he needs a speech therapist.
Durant goes to Seattle #2
JE: and boom goes the dynamite
JT: there better be some large black women showing more emotion than that tonight

Greg Oden Highlights
JT: ...don't show Iowa, don't show Iowa
And Joey Dorsey getting faced
Celtics-Sonics Trade Announced
JT: trade!!!
JE: nice!!!
JT: FUCK YEAHHH

JE: yes

wow, sonics getting freaking good

JT: oh God, if they leave i'm gonna actual care

JE: who are they taking at fivE?
JT: give it to meeeeeeeeeee

hell yes.
JT: Brewer lookin' sharp
JE: he does

JT: easy there, tiger

JE: <----- blush

5:26 PM meaning, she doesn't do shit, but wait for her son to make a shit-ton of money

Justin: well his dad was a tennis star

me: seersucker is awesome

me: thank you
Justin: wow

THIS ENDS TONIGHT!!!
unless i didn't sign an agent b/c i thought i'd be in the 2nd round, and i'm going back to college to work on my upside
then IT ENDS NEXT YEAR
me: or, it's really just beginning.
i'm sure none of these kids are thinking about what's ending.
rather, "give me my money, bitches!!!"

And boom goes the dynamite.

2Man List: Player Moves that Never Should've Happened

Since there are a grand total of 2 of us who post this, instead of doing a JRS mock draft, it's only a two-man list. So here we go:

1. Ken Griffey, Jr. stays with the Mariners
The kid gets to play in a beautiful new park, in the much healthier PacNW (Cincy, really?), without the harsh turf. He stays healthy, and is the man we're talking about breaking Hank's record this year, and nobody would give a shit about Barry Bonds.

Dear Mr. Paxson

In a valiant effort to get a hold of John Paxson I tried to email him to five different email accounts including: j.paxson@chicagobulls.com; john_paxson@chicagobulls.com, etc. Here's the email in case he doesn't get it but wanders across our blog while googling his own name!

Dear Mr. Paxson


I'm sure you get tons of email from fans wanting to be GM's and everywhere you go people telling you thoughts on what to do. Honestly, I guess I'm no different. I'm a huge sports fan, which includes of course the Bulls given that I grew up in Naperville and watched you play my whole childhood. I've spent numerous hours on the ESPN trade machine trying to get a low post player. I thought about emailing you my top ten list of trades, but you don't have time for that, so here's my number one trade possibility. Ben Gordon, PJ Brown, Chris Duhon (you could throw in Adrian Griffin or Nocioni as well to have more cap room/more players depending on Portland's demands) for Zach Randolph. You are able to keep the #9 pick which I trust you will use wisely. Although I would love an email back I know that may be relatively impossible. Thanks for reading, and if you're ever in need of a stats guy or trade guru, feel free to email me, I'd love to help the organization. Thanks again.

Justin Elder


And in case any other GM in any other sport notices this post, I'd love a job in your organization.

"Cool, we won the NBA title again. I'm so excited. This experience is so...exciting, I mean, this group of guys is really exiting, and this year has definitely been the most exciting of my career. I just can't say how excited I am to win my 4th title in 8 years. Just exciting."

We feel you, Tim. We really, really feel you.
