Built Ford Tough

I knew it was coming, but the funny thing is that in Colangelo's some 20 years as a GM, he has drafted like 3 white European's and like 10 African-Americans. I love these interviews with all of the European's who can barely speak English.

Lol at Vesely and his GF. That was awesome.

I love Valanciunas even more after that interview.

No Biyombo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank the lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Valanciunas!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he will be better than Hickson. He probably already is the better defender, shot blocker and rebounder. If he can improve his offensive game and extend his range, I think he will be much better.

If Colangelo passes up on both Valanciunas and Knight for Biyombo.....

They're stupid if they don't go with Valancuinas. Lmao at JVG's comment on the draft rooms. I love this guy. EDIT: Wow, went with Thompson. Not a shock, but I expected Valanciunas.

Just wait until 5 when Colangelo ends up picking either Biyombo or Vesely over Knight.

Hey guys, did you know that the last time the Cavs had the first overall pick they drafted LeBron James? I don't think we have heard that enough tonight.

Lol at Stern. "This is a great crowd" Crowd boos him. Oh great, now Givony has Biyombo going to Toronto as well. I pray to god that if they do draft him they are immediately flipping him to Charlotte for Knight. If they draft Vesely, I think I may just stop watching the draft all together.

From Ford's Twitter: At first I thought that all of this Biyombo to the Raptors talk was just a Colangelo smokescreen in hopes of getting Knight to fall to him, and if that didn't work it was just a way of hyping him up should Knight get picked before the Raptors select to save face. Now? I'm genuinely worried that Colangelo is going to draft Biyombo even if Knight is on the board. There are just way too many signs pointing to Colangelo going with Biyombo regardless.

They sure love Jimmer. I think they have talked about him more than Irving and Williams combined so far.

Lmao at Kahn parading Rubio around.

Yeah, tell me about it. I completely forgot to even put together a mock until about an hour ago. I started it just after positng in this thread. I'll make the thread with all of the mocks now, so if anybody has a late entry, make sure to get it to me.

Just an FYI, but there is about an hour and a half to get me the mock that you wish to enter into the contest.

Bryzgalov signs a 9 year, $51M contract, so a $5.67M cap hit.

From Woj: From the Charlotte Observer: And the other thing I found abuot it:

I'm guessing the pick is being moved to the Nuggets for Felton. EDIT: Might be the Bucks, actually.

Richards to LA for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and a 2nd. Robyn Regher likely to be traded to Buffalo at some point too as he was asked to waive his no-movement clause and said he would. Crazy day.

Rockets must really want Valanciunas. I'm guessing the original offer was 14 + 23? I'm hoping they aren't adding Lee in addition to the two picks because even though I like Valanciunas quite a bit, I don't think it is worth moving all three of those pieces to move up 4 spots. Then again, the 23rd pick is unlikely to net you very much and Lee isn't particularly good either, so if Valanciunas does wind up dropping to 10, it may end up being worth it as he does have very nice potential. If he does drop to 10 I don't see the Bucks trading the pick, though.

You are an idiot if you think playing Z would've helped the Heat do anything but lose that series faster. The guy sucks. Plain and simple. The fact that literally everybody in this thread, Heat fan, Wizard fan or Rocket fan is saying the exact same thing, and the only person saying otherwise is the giant homer, should tell you something.

Yeah, and then he got benched when the games mattered the most and didn't even dress in the Finals

Gotta admire his will to get a ring? More like gotta admire his will to collect a paycheck while partying it up in South Beach, because that all the guy can do now. Dude is a complete scrub.
