Fuck the NBA Draft Lottery

As a celtics fan all I wanted was #1 or 2 and some how fell all the way to #5 despite the 2nd worst record in the NBA. This shit is soo gay. A team with about a 0% chance gets the fucking #1 pick.

if they keep it they'll likely go with Brandon Wright from UNC, Al Horford from Florida or Yi Jialian from Japan, all power forwards who will likely play well with Al Jefferson down low, but god damnit, it's not Oden or Durant.

oh and there's a good chance they will package the pick with another player to get a veteran in order to satisfy Paul Pierce

trade pierce + gerald green + #5 pick to portland for the #1. Actually if I was Portland I wouldn't trade that #1 pick for anything right now

that would be retarded. just trading pierce alone is good enough to get the #1 pick aka Oden. We need to get ridda pierce and let gerald develop further. NO MORE GUARDS!
the celts are also retarded for releasing telfair, who had some trade value to him.
but the 5th pick is definitely shitty. maybe we can score Yi cuz we're a legit big man away from being a threat in the playoffs and he looks athletic as hell for a 7 footer.

hahaha fuck Celtics! That's what they get for not firing their dumb ass coach a year ago and instead decided to re-sign him this year. He is easily one of the worst coaches in the NBA.

true. he is more of a Dirk, which we could use. but i say trade pierce to the wolves for KG. i'd love to see KG as a Celtic.

yeah, im almost ready to get rid of pierce, maybe we sacrifice this season too to get roy hibbert next year, maybe draft conoly this year and then in a couple years go with green, hibbert, conoly, jefferson and company, jefferson is deffinetly key though

there is way to much time to tank in the NBA, they should use the NFL system but the bottom 2 teams are dropped out of the league for 2 D-League teams or somethin..like the UEFA
if would never ever work but that would be sick..players like Marbury have to play in the D-league for a year...so much pressure

i seem to remember a few playoff years in a row and a conference championship series in that span, including the 26 point 4th quarter comeback game(i skipped half my senior prom on accident cause i didnt wanna pull away from that game) but seriously, pierce was hurt and uninspired this past season, with a legit big man he would turn it up a notch and prolly put up 26pts, 8 rebs, and 6assts a game, couple a good center with jefferson underneath and i think they shoot to one of the top 3 in the weak east w/ det and cle

alright, i may have overspoke, but any team that delibrately tanks the end of a season deserves to be relegated, not rewarded. i'm glad they didnt get a good pick. chumps.

you are over-vauling the fuck out of paul pierce. He's going to be 30 yrs old and first you say he alone is worth oden. NO FUCKING WAY, not one team in their right minds would trade oden, possibly one of the best centers ever at 19 yrs old, for paul peirce. Then you say the t-wolves would trade kg for pierce straight up, again, no way that would ever happen. If the wolves trade KG, it's for young talented players with low contracts.
by the way I fucked up Yi is from china not japan, my bad

agreed, pierce no longer has superstar trade value while oden prolly has more trade value than anyone right now.
but he still has good stuff left in his tank, he could put up mvp numbers if he had a consistent post pressence(jefferso is getting there) and a dece. PG to feed him and not try to get their own shot

You are smoking rocks kid. Oden had a decent season with Ohio State and to call him one of the best centers ever at 19 is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You have been sucked in by the hype machine and can't even think straight. Oden has all the potential in the world to become one of the best, but there have been plenty of guys with tons of potential that have been busts. Give him a few years to see what he can do in the NBA first and then jump on his nuts.

Once again you don't know what you are talking about, even the shittiest GM (McHale) in NBA will not trade KG for young unproven talent. Think about what you are proposing there for a second.

haha so true, remember Yinka Dare? but oden wont be a bust, he played last year LEFT HANDED
and the wolves most certainly would trade for unproven talent, they demanded the lakers include Andrew Bynum in any trade for garnett

I don't care what hand he played with, he is a man child that was playing in college, the only guy that he was matched up with was Hibbert. Everybody else that he played against would be an undersized power forward in the NBA. I'm not knocking on him, but lets be realistic and see what he can do in the big league.
First of all Garnett will never be traded from Minny until he says so. Second what good for a team to trade their super-star, a team leader to start re-building the team and be not in contention for the play offs for the next three to four years. This isn't eastern conference buddy where a mediocre young ass team can make play offs. Third if Wolves offered Garnett to the Lakers for Bynum, Odom, Evans and some one else that deal would of been done in a millisecond.
All times are Eastern (-4)
