2009 NBA Draft

[SabresRule]

With the #30 pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers pick........ wait for it.......... Christian Eyenga from The Congo.....

RUH ROH!!!!!! WHO THE F* IS THIS?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

And you thought I was pissed with last year's draft! Why do the Cavs draft projects when we are so close to be competing now!?

With Derrick Brown, Patrick Mills, Sam Young, Chase Budinger, Danny Green and Dejuan Blair for the taking, the Cavs pick some no-name from the freaking Congo?! Really?! Why?! Why? Why?!

To say I'm pissed is an understatement! Granted, I've never heard of this guy, but with so many big names left, why not draft one of the above I listed and wait untill the 2nd round to pick this Eyenga? This baffles my mind. Christian Eyenga?! Come on Ferry! Is this our punishment for trading for Shaq earlier this morning?! I can't wait for an explanation. It better be good, because I'm mad as hell!!!

Cleveland just took Mr. Green.

After drafting the "Nigerian Nightmare", I'm off to bed. I'm spent.....

Check that, with the 2nd round pick (46 overall), the Cavs select..... Danny Green from UNC!!!!

I wanted this guy in the 1st round! I think Danny Ferry just made me feel a little bit better with his first pick!

HD'S PRAYERS GOT ANSWERED!

He wanted Green, and he has him!

Feel better? Have you seen Danny Green's dances during Carolina's introductions? Wait until you get him with Lebron and Shaq. It will be crazy.

Anders, you've watched this kid. You tell me. How will Danny Green transition to the NBA?

Watching the draft myself, some of my favorite moments of the draft were:

1. The reaction by the New York fans when Curry was selected by the Warriors just before the Knicks probably would have selected him. Ouch. (Regardless, he'll fit in well with Don Nelson. Curry, Stephen Jackson, Harrington- damn, will that be fun to watch!)

2. Darko to the Knicks.

He'll be a good player off the bench. He's got a good jump shot, but what I LOVE about him is the way he runs guys down from behind to block their dunks. Same as what Lebron does. With the two of them nobody will feel safe on breakaways.

Introducing the new Cleveland Cavalier.....

I love it! (Notice the cohering Dukie).

How many picks are there in an NBA draft? Just wondering.

60? 100? Some other number?

I love it. Greg Paulus getting teabagged. Notice Peyton Manning watching.

Just 2 rounds, so 60 picks all together.

Lol. I didn't notice Peyton until now. I like the expressions of the other fans in the crowd too.

What'll happen to any players who go undrafted?

Ohhh. Good pick by your Jazz Sabres....

With the 50th overall selection, the Jazz select Goran Suton from Michigan State.

I like the pick.

Capable big-guy, good-scorer, solid rebounder.

Does this mean AK-47 (Kirilienko) is expandable?

Look out Sabres. The Spurs are reloading. First they trade for Richard Jefferson and now they get Dejuan Blair and Jack McClinton, who is a lights out shooter. The Spurs are coming back. Nobody drafts like San Antontio.

The Miami Heat select Marcus Thornton.

As we speak, Salsa is out buying a jersey with his name on the back.

I stand corrected- his rights were traded to the Hornets.

 

[SabresRule]

Pistons trade Buddinger's rights to the Rockets for a future pick and cash.

Not a good trade, IMO. They let go of a guy who could speed up the rebuilding.

Houston, you got a draft steal.
