this is fantasy basketball
or: Is there a better birthday present for a semi-estranged but loyal Blazers fan than the first pick in the draft?
Not to mention the obvious trade scenario sending RJ to Portland for ZR. That’s easy money.
Said estranged (i.e., living in Vancouver) but loyal (i.e., watching 45 games this season on NBATV) Blazers fan does indeed have a birthday today. Does it get any better than that? I’d suggest taking the day off, but he’s been IMing me so much that I don’t think he’s been getting any work done even when he’s supposed to be working (don’t worry, I still love you).
In other loyal fan news, I’m a little worried that Patrick may have died the other night. He quite possibly perished along with the hopes and dreams of Celtics fans everywhere. Hey, buck up, you still got the 5th pick. Yi Jianlian may not be what you were thinking of as the Celtics held guys out in the 4th quarter of games this year, but at least you don’t have to worry about your team picking Spencer Hawes. YJL seems to have some killer instinct, and a little Jesse McCartney action can’t be all bad.
Following that up, Bulls (aka John Paxson): Please don’t take Spencer Hawes. I just don’t see that working out. Luckily, NBADraft.net has the Bulls taking Joakim Noah. I am cool with that.
I watched some clips of Tiago Splitter this morning, and I was actually impressed that someone made a nine-minute film of him just playing in a game. I appreciate that as opposed to the highlight reel clips that consist of only dunks and blocks. NBADraft.net has him all the way down at 21, but if Noah is gone, he’s probably got the best back-to-the-basket moves of the guys left, and that’s something that Bulls need to be looking for.
