Draft Day Discussion Thread

[sully76]

well dabods.. you got your wish

[Derek Bodner]

Yeah, I'm happy.

Now as long as we don't go Thornton at 12 I'm stocked.

Ok, maybe not stocked, but content.

[sully76]

DAMN!  that hurts

[Derek Bodner]

Yeah.  I thought for sure Hawes would be there at 12 when he didn't go to the Bulls.

[Derek Bodner]

I can live with that.

[sully76]

we'll see if we trade up

[sully76]

By the way.... where is everybody?

[Derek Bodner]

Most people are in the realgm chat room, I think.

[Derek Bodner]

RealGM is currently experiencing some remote hardware issues which are outside of our control, and as a result the majority of the website has been closed to help with the load. Draft Night 2007, however, is active, and updates will be given here.

hah.

CPU load is not something that is "beyond your control"

[Derek Bodner]

Love getting Smith with the 2nd pick.

[mpbowers]

So we just sold the #30, which was one of the picks from the AI deal. 

Pretty cheap.

[Derek Bodner]

Eh, we ended up getting Byars with it, which was one of the two people I wanted at 30 anyway.

[mpbowers]

I got bumped from that chat and haven't been able to get back in.  How are people feeling about the draft.  I really like it.  Byars, Thad Young, Jason Smith, and a Ukranian prospect.  Overall, I'd give the draft a B+.  Between Carney, Thad young, and Byars, I think we found our future running mate for Iguodala.

Do you know why Byars dropped so far?
That was a great trade IMO.

[psuneaglesfan76]

can someone tell me how we got byars? i guess i missed it

We traded the 30th pick Koponen, for Byars and cash.
