NBA Draft Thread

I just don't get why LeBron doesn't go to the Clippers. I mean just today I heard an ESPN anchor making a joke that the Clippers aren't even a serious contender, why? Because they're the Clippers? Yea I know they've sucked for a long time but out of all the teams looking at LeBron who has a better center than Chris Kaman? Maybe the Nets. Who has a better point guard than Baron Davis? Maybe the Bulls but when Rose is a free agent think Chicago can afford to pay him max money? Doubtful and you know that's what Rose will be looking for. I mean the Bulls, Heat and Nets have about 2 or 3 players on their roster. Even if LeBron and Wade both went to Miami that team would still need a center and a bench. The Clippers have all that. Eric Gordon is a good up and coming player and even though I wasn't a big Blake Griffin fan at OU, at worst he's a solid bench player. But hey, maybe he becomes a really good player too, who knows? Too me the choice is obvious. So what if he's "playing in Kobe's building" it's not like LA fans wouldn't flock to Clippers games, that city loves big stars. And unlike the Bulls the Clippers have no history, you win one championship there you're a legend to those fans.

 

LeEgo is having an hour long thing on ESPN on Thursday to announce where he is going. For some reason, even if it is Chicago, I hope he just blows his head off.

What an egomanical douche.

 

I think it might be because of that whole "rape" thing. Just a hunch.

 

The Clippers? They have nothing.

And Derrick Rose is much much better then Baron Davis, and why wouldn't the Bulls be able to afford him? They only pay Luol Deng at the moment, possibly Wade/James and/or Bosh.
Noah compares to Kaman.

 

if LeBron joins Wade and Bosch in Miami, i pick them to win the NBA title next season.

whos with me?

 

I'm not a huge Noah fan, I think he's a tad overrated. But I wouldn't say Rose is much better than Davis. But lets say the Bulls sign LeBron, you don't think Rose will want a max deal in a few years too? Can Chicago afford that? Besides Eric Gordon is better then Deng and still don't know about Griffin.

Besides looks like the Bulls are out of the running: -Chicago has moved beyond LeBron James and are now pursuing Carlos Boozer and JJ Redick. From Sprung on Sports.

If you believe twitter Jared Dudley and Chad Ochocinco are both saying Knicks. Dudley I'd be a little inclined to believe since he's close with Amare.

 

LeBron needs to get in New York. Whether that's via the Knicks or Nets, dude needs to making the most of his brand by capitalizing on a big market. Plus he's got Jadakiss and Jay-Z making rap songs all about him.

 

So... If I find some pyscho to accuse Lebron of rape, everyone will hate him too? I doubt it.

I wish that'd had been someone other than a white girl. No one would have ever cared.

and lol @ a 1 hr special for his "choice". This dude loves the spotlight more than Favre. Attention whore.

 

Apparently Boozer is close to a deal with the Bulls. Everyone kinda forgot about him. Good job Chicago, you got rid of half the team and ended up with Carlos Boozer, just like you planned it huh? lol

 

i like Boozer with Rose.
