How many picks does this city deserve?
By my count, they got Tyrus Thomas (coulda been LaMarcus Aldridge) AND Joakim Noah from the Knicks, Michael Jordan courtesy of the Blazers, and now they have the number one pick drop in their laps!
What the hell??!!
It's not my fault that they drafted "college talent" like Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich with their high picks. But now they'll have a starting 5 of Rose, Gordon/Hughes, Deng, T. Thomas, and Noah OR Hinrich, Gordon/Hughes, Deng, Beasley, and Noah. When you look at it that way, it's actually a tough choice 'cause the team with Rose on it will be pressed to score. Meanwhile, after falling ass-backwards into a championship three years ago (!), Miami has the number two pick, Shawn Marion and Dwyane Wade after the Suns did them a favor by taking on Shaq. Have I mentioned that when ESPNEWS showed that the Heat were willing to trade Shaq (the day before the Suns swooped in ), I raked my mind and couldn't imagine a team that both had the cap space available for Shaq and was competitive enough for him to agree to go there. Then, the Suns decided to dump Marion and Marcus Banks (who was burning a hole in their pocket) for Shaq. All this AFTER selling draft picks that could've been Andre Iguodala and Rajon Rondo, trading guys like James Jones and Kurt Thomas for nothing, and then signing Marcus Banks (who sucks) to a big deal.
Meanwhile, Jerome James is still collecting money from the Knicks for putting a trashbag on his body and claiming he's a "garbage man" that collects all the boards a few years back when he was on the Sonics. Dignity is overrated, right?.....
