Gameday Open Thread: NCAA Championships

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News

Here's a nifty little thread in case you want to drool over Derrick Rose while watching tonight's game.  It should be a good one.

With apologies to KP, though, if I hear "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" one more time on the radio today I'm going to poke out my eardrums with an icepick.  I mean, come on...is that supposed to be Klingon or something?

Sweet
Looks like another night of reading an open thread then going home afterward to watch the game.  I don't care who wins, I just want a competitive game.  I had a bracket, with no betting, and I had UNC and UCLA in the final game.

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but without the first or second pick, you can't pick Rose.

Trade Down
And draft Tyler Hansbrough and then sign or trade for a free agent point guard.

I don't know about that
I don't see how Toronto or the Nets would give us Calderon or Harris. Great point young guards are nearly as valuable as centers in the NBA. Chris Paul by himself made Tyson Chandler a 10ppg scorer, and David West an all star.

This draft is a goldmine for quality guards.
I think he's going to package Jack+Outlaw(or Frye)+Lafrenz to NYC grab the #5th pick from them and go for Bayless.

I want Kp to get a late second round pick and grab Tyler Hansbrough though.

Oh and add that 13th pick
I think that is a pretty decent deal for NYC. Alleviates their cap issues, gives them a proper sized point guard, a great 6th man in Outlaw and an expiring contract in LaFrenz.

This is making me reconsider his top pick status. You've got to consider longevity.

I heard Steve Nash only eats the hairs of industrial shoe workers in Indonesia to stay young. I don't even want to know what Dikembe eats. From his voice, it sounds like undersea volcanic ash.

Yeah pretty much
Almost no chance we get him. He'll probably just have fun destroying our slow point guards next year.

Thank god if he lands in Memphis his team sucks.

If he goes to Miami...look out.
