••Official 2008 NBA Draft Lottery Thread••

Either Beasley is going to be one of the top players in the L, or he's going to be:

If we HAD a post presence, I'd be all for Rose....but Beasley is just too damn good of a presence to pass up.

Only other acceptable option is to trade the #1 and some dead weight (Hughes, Hinrich) for Melo.

There is no question, ya'll need Rose. Bulls already have Thomas, Noah, Gooden, and yet the team really has no proven leader to run the floor. Kirk is a good 6th man, and Ben is best at the 2. Hughes is streaky and should be a role player off the bench. Good luck though, the Bulls need a break as do the Heat and Wolves.
 
CHICAGO UP IN THIS BITCH TONIGHT :lol:

sign a vet.......let ben ball hogg gordan go....and sign a good college player




look out for us next year.

the kings of the east!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


lol@all those shitty teams playing like shit on purpose so they could get #1...and they still didnt get it. :lol:
 
rose slipping to number 2 is like chris paul and deron williams slipping.

u never pass up a Scoring PG.

U never pass a PG who makes guys around him better. You can pass up a scoring PG. Stephon Marbury is a scoring PG. So were players like Dan Dickau and Marcus Banks. Hell, if Jay Williams would have kept his ass off of that bike this wouldn't even be an issue right now.
 
niggu jay williams was ass noodles...that bitch ass niggu was cryin to his momma for not getting no playing time...fuck them weak ass duke players.
 
Here's Chad Ford's 1rst mock draft and if this should were to hold true Knicks fans should just get a gun and shoot Donnie Walsh or themselves.

CHAD FORD'S MOCK DRAFT
PICK TEAM PLAYER VITALS

Chicago
Michael Beasley Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 235
Age: 19
School: Kansas State

The skinny: This will be a very difficult choice for the Bulls.

On the one hand, Chicago has needed a low-post scorer for a long time, and Beasley fits the bill. He's also a top-notch rebounder, which would fulfill another need for the Bulls.

However, Rose, a Chicago native, would be a major upgrade over Kirk Hinrich. His strength and athleticism could really ignite the Bulls' offense.

For the moment, we're putting Beasley here because he's the best fit.

Miami
Derrick Rose Position: PG
Height: 6-3
Weight: 205
Age: 19
School: Memphis

The skinny: The Heat are big winners, too. They don't get the No. 1 pick, but they do get their favorite player in the draft. A Rose-Wade backcourt should be awesome.

Minnesota
Brook Lopez Position: C
Height: 7-0
Weight: 260
Age: 20
School: Stanford

The skinny: If the team drafts for need, Lopez will be the guy. The Wolves really need a center, and Lopez should be a good fit.

But don't count out Danilo Gallinari, who could be a surprise pick here.

Seattle
Jerryd Bayless Position: PG
Height: 6-3
Weight: 190
Age: 19
School: Arizona

The skinny: Bayless should be a very good fit for Seattle. His up-tempo game and excellent shooting ability would give the Sonics a potent weapon to pair with Kevin Durant.

Memphis
O.J. Mayo Position: SG
Height: 6-4
Weight: 195
Age: 20
School: USC

The skinny: The Grizzlies need a power forward.

But although they do have a glut of guards, they also could use a guard with the strength, scoring prowess and star quality of Mayo. Team him with Rudy Gay and Mike Conley, and the Grizzlies are a big man away from having a bright future again.

New York
Danilo Gallinari Position: SF
Height: 6-9
Weight: 212
Age: 19
Country: Italy

The skinny: Mike D'Antoni lands the perfect weapon for his new team -- a 6-10 point forward who knows how to think the game.

It might not be a popular pick in New York, but D'Antoni will make it work.

L.A. Clippers
Russell Westbrook Position: PG
Height: 6-3
Weight: 189
Age: 19
School: UCLA

The skinny: Look for the Clippers to make a tough choice between Westbrook and Gordon. Given that L.A. really needs a point guard, Westbrook gets the slight edge.

Milwaukee
Eric Gordon Position: SG
Height: 6-4
Weight: 215
Age: 19
School: Indiana

The skinny: Gordon is a dynamic scorer who could free new GM John Hammond to trade Michael Redd.

Charlotte
Kevin Love Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 275
Age: 19
School: UCLA

The skinny: Larry Brown loves guys who "play the right way." Love is as fundamentally sound as anyone in the draft.

New Jersey
Anthony Randolph Position: PF
Height: 6-11
Weight: 220
Age: 18
School: LSU

The skinny: The Nets have lacked a super-athletic 4 since Kenyon Martin walked out the door. Randolph has been compared to a young Chris Bosh by some scouts. His combination of length and athleticism is exciting, but he has to get stronger and improve his perimeter game.

Indiana
D.J. Augustin Position: PG
Height: 6-0
Weight: 180
Age: 20
School: Texas

The skinny: The Pacers need a long-term replacement for Jamaal Tinsley, and they are crossing their fingers that either Augustin or Westbrook is still on the board when they pick. Of the two, Augustin is probably the better fit in Jim O'Brien's system.

Augustin is an excellent floor leader and can really shoot the basketball. Another bonus for Pacers fans is that he is an excellent character guy.

Sacramento
Darrell Arthur Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 225
Age: 20
School: Kansas

The skinny: The Kings are hoping that either Augustin or Westbrook falls into their laps. However, if they're not available, Sacramento will likely have to make a tough choice between a number of power forwards.

Of the group, Arthur has the greatest upside as an athlete and a scorer. But he's going to have to improve his rebounding to really make it in the league.

Portland
Joe Alexander Position: SF
Height: 6-8
Weight: 220
Age: 21
School: West Virginia

The skinny: Alexander could be the sleeper of the draft. His combination of size, athleticism and shooting ability has GMs drooling right now. He's still learning the game, but on a team like the Blazers, his versatility could be an immediate asset.

Donte Greene is also a possibility here.

Golden State
DeAndre Jordan Position: C
Height: 7-0
Weight: 255
Age: 20
School: Texas A&M

The skinny: At some point you just draft talent. The Warriors don't have a huge need in the middle, but Jordan's too talented to let slip any further. He has the body and athletic skills of Dwight Howard. But his lack of motivation is scaring a lot of GMs away right now.

Phoenix
(via Atlanta)
Donte Greene Position: SF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 225
Age: 20
School: Syracuse

The skinny: Greene is a steal if he slips this far. He has the potential to be a Shawn Marion-type combo forward in the pros. While his game is still raw, he has great length and athleticism and an emerging perimeter game.

Philadelphia
Marreese Speights Position: C
Height: 6-10
Weight: 245
Age: 19
School: Florida

The skinny: The Sixers are still looking for a low-post banger. If they can't get Elton Brand this summer, they'll have to seriously consider Speights. Speights does a lot of the same things Brand does, though he doesn't have the same conditioning or drive yet.

Toronto
Robin Lopez Position: C
Height: 7-0
Weight: 245
Age: 20
School: Stanford

The skinny: Lopez is drawing a lot of comparisons to Anderson Varejao. On a team that needs toughness and rebounding in the middle, he should be a great fit. He's kind of the anti-Andrea Bargnani.

Washington
JaVale McGee Position: PF
Height: 7-0
Weight: 237
Age: 20
School: Nevada

The skinny: McGee is another wildcard. Long, athletic and skilled, he has huge upside and can fly up and down the court. But his thin frame and lack of position mean he's a few years away from contributing.

Cleveland
Kosta Koufos Position: C
Height: 7-0
Weight: 265
Age: 19
School: Ohio State

The skinny: If Koufos slips this far, it will be tough for the Cavs to pass on him. He's a very skilled big man who gets up and down the floor really well.

Some scouts compare him to a young Zydrunas Ilgauskas. He needs to get stronger, but he's got great upside for a pick this low in the draft.

Denver
Ty Lawson Position: PG
Height: 5-11
Weight: 195
Age: 20
School: North Carolina

The skinny: The Nuggets need a floor leader who can push the ball up and down the floor. While Lawson has his weaknesses, he should be an excellent fit in George Karl's up-tempo system.

New Jersey
(via Dallas)
Chase Budinger Position: SG
Height: 6-7
Weight: 205
Age: 20
School: Arizona

The skinny: Budinger could easily be a late lottery pick, but he could also slip. Teams love his size and shooting ability but worry a bit about his lack of aggressiveness and defense. At this point in the draft, the Nets will be glad to take the risk.

Orlando
Brandon Rush Position: SG
Height: 6-7
Weight: 205
Age: 22
School: Kansas

The skinny: There's quite a bit of buzz over Rush at the moment. He's got the size, athleticism and shooting ability needed to excel as an NBA 2-guard. He is also an excellent defender and should be ready to step in and contribute right away. He's a perfect fit for Orlando.

Utah
Roy Hibbert Position: C
Height: 7-2
Weight: 275
Age: 21
School: Georgetown

The skinny: Is there a better fit for Hibbert than Utah? He needs a team that excels in half-court sets. His size and scoring ability make him an asset as long, as you don't ask him to run the floor or play 40 minutes a game.

Seattle
(via Phoenix)
Serge Ibaka Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 220
Age: 18
Country: Congo

The skinny: Expect Sonics GM Sam Presti to use a trick or two from his days in San Antonio and look internationally with his second pick. Ibaka has the talent to be a potential lottery pick someday, but he's still very raw. The Sonics can leave him over in Spain and reap the benefits down the road.

Houston
J. J. Hickson Position: PF
Height: 6-9
Weight: 240
Age: 19
School: NC State

The skinny: The Rockets got a big boost from rookie Luis Scola this season, but they could still use another strong, bruising power forward like Hickson. He's not ready for the NBA yet, but the Rockets can afford to develop him.

San Antonio
Nicolas Batum Position: SF
Height: 6-8
Weight: 210
Age: 19
Country: France

The skinny: This low in the draft, the Spurs almost always look to the future, and I expect them to do it again. Batum has a lot of talent, but he needs more time in France to develop it. In a couple of years, San Antonio will look really smart.

New Orleans
Bill Walker Position: SF
Height: 6-6
Weight: 235
Age: 20
School: Kansas State

The skinny: Walker could be a major coup for the Hornets if he's still on the board here. A year and a half ago, teams were talking about him as a top-5 pick. An ACL injury stopped that talk, but sources say his weight is finally down and his explosiveness is back. He and Chris Paul could make for a dynamite backcourt if Walker plays 2-guard.

Memphis
Nathan Jawai Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 270
Age: 21
Country: Australia

The skinny: The Grizzlies need a power forward with some real power, and Jawai has that in abundance. He's coming off a big year in Australia, and his game resembles Elton Brand's a little. At this point in the draft, he's worth the risk.

Detroit
Chris Douglas-Roberts Position: SG
Height: 6-6
Weight: 195
Age: 21
School: Memphis

The skinny: The Pistons thrive on getting players who don't get the respect they probably deserve. Adding CDR as a reserve who can play the 2 and 3 and provide some scoring off the bench seems like a steal here.

Boston
Ante Tomic Position: C
Height: 7-2
Weight: 237
Age: 21
School: Croatia

The skinny: The Celtics don't need rookies right now, and Tomic is stuck in a contract for the next few years overseas. They can afford to let him develop and hope in a few years he can be a building block.
 
niggu jay williams was ass noodles...that bitch ass niggu was cryin to his momma for not getting no playing time...fuck them weak ass duke players.

lmaooooo
i remember when that nigga was at Duke his mom said he was crying in the car b/c he was about to play at Rutgers instead of Duke
 
Charlotte
Kevin Love Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 275
Age: 19
School: UCLA

The skinny: Larry Brown loves guys who "play the right way." Love is as fundamentally sound as anyone in the draft.

Man fuck that. Im so god damn tired of the Bobcats making stupid pics.
Dont nobody want that big cracka.
My Bobcats are in bad position in this draft. They need a Center but this draft doesn't have a good one. Koufos would get destroyed down low and to get Hibbert that early would be a reach that only Mr. Fantastic could perform. FUUCKK
 
Damn that mock makes alot of sense in bits and pieces. Bulls don't need Beasley but most know that. Brook would be a great fdit for the T-Wolves because Jefferson is a beast at PF. Cavs would love to take the Ohio-St boy and hopefully he isn't a bitch in the post.
 
shad....wassup niggu. The Grizzlies need somebody on their squad. How they gon trade someone to a championship
e542_1_b.JPG
 
Chris Ford is a BUM~~~:yes:

Bulls need Rose

They have too many guards gordan,duhon,hinrich,hughes the best one is Gordan keep him.

but they also dont have a post player. man they suck. a post player would get them some easy shots. But i dont see beasley as a true post player. He aint a power forward. he more like a PF/SF his game is very versatile. maybe too versatile!!

Trade Deng for a young post player.

The timberwolves better draft talent and not mess up. they always mess up. Lopez at 3 is too high he is slow. Ford is crazy man!!

Miami is in a great spot at 2. they get either rose or beasley and they both fit. and they already got wade and marion.

The Knicks at 6 dang. need a guard like bayless or westbrook. they gotta get rid of marbury, and zach get younger more athletes and
RUN LIKE HELL!!:lol:
