Draft Thread '08

The 2008 NBA Draft is about an hour away. This here is your thread for comments on the Knicks pick, both before and after it's made. The poll below shows that most P&T users are looking for O.J. Mayo, and would take Westbrook or Bayless if he's off the board. And we certainly don't especially want Gallinari, despite what every mock draft says.

It's gonna be an exciting night. If you're looking for some live discussion, I'd suggest heading over to Ridiculous Upside. I'm participating in an epic liveblog with a slew of other NBA bloggers. It's a draft orgy.

Get psyched and bring a change of underwear. Get them draft picks.

Update: Forgot to mention...What do we think about these new D. Lee rumors? I like Jarrett Jack, and I'm curious to see who we'd be looking at later in the draft, but I liked the Memphis deal better. Thoughts?

Update again: The Seattle-L.A. trade seems to improve the Knicks' chances at getting one of the prized guards. L.A. is apparently enamored with Eric Gordon, meaning Bayless and Westbrook are more likely to drop. Anybody but Gallinari.

UPDATE: FUCK.

Dickie V just co-signed the Knicks F’d up

come on guys

why all the doom and gloom? gallinari is a good fucking player. we want bayless? another combo guard. augustin? i am taller than him.

gallinari is not milicic. he’s not tskitishvili. he actually PRODUCED at the highest level in Europe. he’s a player.

“Dickie V just co-signed the Knicks F’d up”

mighty, fax me when Dickie V has ANY clue what he’s talking about in the draft. and jackson’s comment was the most asinine thing ive heard in years. “You can’t spend time rebuilding in NY.” sorry, wasn’t that the philosophy that got us where we are right now? thank god he isn’t our coach.

and JVG said “I don’t know much about this guy.” sorry…isn’t that your job? for the day? to know about these players?

all the critcism is just unthinking. people assume that every european guy is the same. this isnt the case. he’s tough and he’s a lot more refined than the previous euros. what would you guys have said if the knicks drafted ginobili or nowitzki a few years ago?

plus, is no one excited about rooting for The Rooster/The Cock for the next decade?!

I hope your right...

Knicks have too many guards anyway

Well put, Riise

Knick fans really have become eternal pessimists. True, we have had a lot to bitch about these past few years, but this pick is not one of them. Gallinari will be a good ballplayer.

alas

my initial reaction was one of anger and despair… i’d say though, watching more of the kids videos, i’m not too upset.
