What a surprise...
 
Bulls win the Lottery

First there was the fixed Ewing lottery

then the phoney Gasol trade (no one can be that dumb can they)

Now the Bulls get the fixer special

You do need it

If it was fixed, why Chicago instead of NY? Admittedly, when they announced Chicago had won it, it was my first thought too. Until I remembered that NY was in it. And NJ.

How about the fact that the T-wolves never win the lotto lol?

It was very reminiscent of the year that Shaq and 'Zo were the far and away top 2, and the Wolves got the 3rd pick that year too... and got Laetnner lol.

****. I don't trust Kevin McHale to get the 3rd best guy either. They draft Brook Lopez, and watch O.J. Mayo be a ****in stud while Lopex ends up being a bust...

I think LeBron would end up with the Nets, who are for all intents and purposes, a NY team anyway. So maybe. I would have thought last year was the best time to fix something though because the consensus opinion was that Oden is going to be a franchise changer.

I think Chicago is going to blow this pick though. I don't think Beasley or Rose fits with them. I think they'll go with Rose though.

The Nets are not the Knicks. Not even close. David Stern knows how to manipulate this.

Very true lol.

I think honestly the 3rd pick was the worst pick to get in this draft. Especially if you're a fan of a team with Kevin McHale making all of the personnel decisions. What sucks is, there's 2 top-tier guys, and then a blob of equal, but more mediocre talent after. AND I DON'T TRUST MCHALE TO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHO THE "BEST OF THE REST" IS AFTER BEASLEY AND ROSE. I wish the Wolves had pick 5 or 6, so that way a few guys would be taken so McHale wouldn't have to think as much lol.

As Wolves fan, I think McHale has been doing what he did in that Cheers episode while making personnel moves for the Wolves- He was really just too distracted counting the bolts in the Boston Garden floor.

They actually televised it again...

A virtual wall of action and suspense
washed over the viewer as NBA
executives could actually be heard
sweating.

I would prefer a nine hour Catholic
Mass in Latin.

Every atom in my body came to
rest; But time inexplicably moved
forward most grudgingly.

The physical level of absolute
boredom has finally been achieved.
Congrats to Stern and ESPN.

All of Saudi Arabia's wealth has just been placed on the Spurs.

Trainloads of Spurs money are being shipped to Las Vegas.

Mortimer 05-21-2008 07:03 PM
