2008 Draft Day Thread: 7:30 ESPN

[johnny broad-street]

YEah....I just get sick of guys going on and on and avoiding intelligent discussion when they have no answers or can't validate their points....If I were in charge that would be suspendable at least for wasting space and bogging down threads.

that being said...I am not in charge.

[jemagee]

Well I guess I am out too.

This has been a better place to post than RealGM or Philaphans, and again, I'd be all for trying to keep it going- but  most likely it won't be active again for another year.

I think maybe I'll try to post here during the Vegas League games starting 7/11.

It's active if people come back, i started another thread out of curiosity for 'past the draft' - it can't function without posters...

[Westbrook36]

of course they can ban who they want, but doesn't make it warranted in everyone's opinion.

Sucks about Arthur. We should've jumped on it.

I believe Chris Mullin is trying to set the record for most consecutive years with a fade, flattop. Also... I have NEVER gotten used to his accent.

so everyone sick of real gm and such post here, contrary to the popular belief of those in charge, i really have learned my lesson, my banning was inevitable at philaphans because of my association with BSG and philliesphans from the 'war times'...i'd like to have a place to talk about the sixers and the country club is terrible

You guys can feel free to post, or travel over to the main nba board I maintain.  It's pretty much a 'closed society', but we welcome new people.  About 5 years ago msnbc killed their nba forums, and it's been a refugee for that group since.

Are we still talking points scored and points allowed as a good indicator of good or bad offense of defense?

ESPN EMPLOYS a bunch of new school people in various sports, why can't they incorporate them more into their network?

Tyler Smith went back to UT right?

[TheGuiltyParty]

Tyler Smith went back to UT right?

Who the hell is Tyler Smith???

[Derek Bodner]

oh, that's right.  That was the pick that was traded before the draft.

Thanks.  I wish I could IM people at RealGm to try to get some traffic here.  I'm afraid putting it on a thread would be seen as either advertising/spam or just a bad idea.

If people do keep posting here I'll IM some people at Philaphan- but probably no one from that Jem hatred post.  more like MCal, The Poster and Skates.  (Belmont I would be on the fence about.)

[Derek Bodner]

no belmont.

[TheGuiltyParty]

Jem... I doubt you say this but sixerfan posted this over on realgm....

"we tried to get chalmers.....miami traded with minny for him though."

[tk76-]

no belmont.

Hah, thought so.  I think I am probably more tolerant than most, but Belmont is a mixed bag.  he is a good poster when he stays off his high horse- but that's not often enough/

Doesn't sound like we tried very hard... he went for a 09 2nd rounder
