That might be the biggest instant downgrade for a #1 seed in history. (The 98 Bulls werent' a 1 seed were they?)

They were.

Apparently one of those will be Tristan Smith at 7.

F*ck the heck?

 

Tristan Thompson?

That's CRAZY. Tyreke Evans better be in that deal or San Antonio fans should just stop caring.

That'd be a hell of a coup for Sacramento though. Parker/Evans/Jefferson/Casspi/Cousins.

Tristan Thompson?

Ya, what the hell. Total brain-fart.

I don't see how San Antonio can agree on that deal. Parker's contract is a bit hefty, but it's not insane.

 

 

I quit. There is so much being reported right now. Bobcats went from wanting Thompson at 7 to now Biyombo. Jimmer could go to SAC at 10 or they could trade it for Parker/Jefferson.

Word among execs is the Bobcats have moved up to 7 to select Bismack Biyombo.

 

Tonight is going to be zany. No one has any idea if these players are any good and execs are just throwing s*** around...

Biyombo is going to be a defensive force, that is pretty certain. His absolute worst case scenario is Joel Anthony, IMO.

That's real bad.

Well, now we know Jordan thinks he'll be great... so he's likely going to be an epic fail.

Does Biyombo also have small hands?

That's real bad.

 

That's Juan Pierre bad.

That's Juan Pierre bad.

 

Which can be replaced with "That's Raul Ibanez bad".

 

Both are tied for a -1.2 WAR right now.

That's real bad.

That's really not that bad. If that's his absolute basement, you could do a whole lot worse. I think he'll be considerably better. I watched him play in some World vs US prospect game or something a while back, and he dominated the paint against other guys who will be draft picks. He's got a Marcus Camby/Theo Ratliff ceiling.

Biyombo has a contractual issue that's come up in Spain and he may not immediately get federation clearance to leave for NBA, source says.

Anthony is pretty damn bad. Even the super-shallow Heat don't play him for 20 minutes per game. The only reason he's a remotely viable option for them is because they have two elite scorers and another solid one.

I was talking from a purely defensive standpoint.

Well I don't think anyone projects Biyombo to be worth a s*** offensively.

It was one of the first names to come to my mind. He's going to be a good defender (which Anthony is), period.

 

Draft Express has his basement as Taj Gibson and ceiling as 6'9 Dwight Howard. So there's that...

Ya, obviously those are kinda silly. I think my comparison's are better.

I assume that means my ceiling is a 5'10" Dwight Howard?

My ceiling is a 6'1" Jordan. My floor, basketball-wise, is a 6'1" Steve Harnden.

I'm the same height as Jordan, so does that make my ceiling Jordan? I'd say floor - Eddie Jones.
