Ok... so the Spurs sent out an e-mail saying #26 was up for grabs to whoever wanted it. I think the Sixers should grab it.

[jemagee]

Now the #26 pick the spurs were looking to get rid of

Just a note - atlanta has no picks tonight as of now

[Carmelo Anthony]

Good call TGP...You loved the guy that'll be arrested for loitering any minute

LMAO!! Ahhh... that's funny.

Uhh Mr arthur the draft has been over for 3 days now.. Why are you still here... Ouch that was mean.

Hopefully he's gone before the janitors...

With the 100th pick of the 2008 NBA draft. The wamu center janitorial service selects Darrell Arthur, PM (power mopper) university of damnit i didn't get drafted.

for cash?

I think the only team that can send us more cap space is Memphis (everyone else is over the cap.)

I would love for us to send them a lousy player for a few more mil of cap space.

Hmmm...  It's Ba-tooom and not BATum...  Who could have know???

[jemagee]

Ok, so now the issue with Arthur is a kidney issue and arthur wouldn't undergo requested lab tests?

Makes more sense than a stress fracture

[Carmelo Anthony]

Why am I just finding out now about the kidney issue?  I'm so out of the loop

[Derek Bodner]

Hm...I'll follow up on that.  I was told it's a stress fracture.

[philbe311]

If arthur doesn't get drafted soon, he's gonna have to ask the janitors for an application...  Sorry, couldn't resist...

[Carmelo Anthony]

Please say san antonio trades a bag of chips and the 26th pick to the sixers for willie green.

I don't think it's been revealed publicly.  I knew he had a health issue, but apparently had the health issue wrong.

Ah that makes a lot more sense.. from being projected lottery and now being here in the late 1st

[jemagee]

I heard SOMETHING about a health issue, asdie from the stress fracture, but no one made it clear, NBA probably in CYA mode so there's a reason that arthur doesn't get drafted.

Who cares about MSG?

Willie Green is not worth a first round pick.

The San Antonio Spurs have made a pick

It's George Hill - bummer

[TheGuiltyParty]

Wo

One way or another, it's obvious teams are scared off about his health. If he didn't submit to tests then he sort of deserves to fall. Teams can't be expected to give guaranteed contracts to highly questionable players.
