SURELY New York will end Marcus Williams' fall. :eh:

Marcus Williams is the Jameer Nelson of this draft.

Woah very random pick with Renaldo Balkman, He's a very undersized forward. No need for that type of pick why would they do that. Once again Isaih Thomas is proved a retard.

Horrible move by the Knicks again.

But Macrus Williams falls right into the Phoenix Suns' lap... perfect backup to Steve Nash next season... gosh, I sure hope they pick him up at #21!

Marcus Williams must feel like Matt Leinart in the Nfl draft. Rondo is a great PG he plays a lot bigger then he is and amazing athleticism.

Paid contract of Brian Grant? That better be enough for them to resign Marion then, because they didn't fill a significant hole on their bench.

I'm listening to the radio here in Boston, and they're at the Celtics' Draft Party. The Celtics' owner just stood up and said "Watch out for this next pick!" The Suns just slected Rondo, so watch out for a trade here...

Now it's really heating up. Maxwell just said "Rondo could very well end up with the Celtics by the night's end."

And earlier in the night, Doc Rivers said the Celtics are interested in some of the top guys that were remaining (Rondo, Williams), and that they would be willing to trade for one of them.

Lol thanks for the player commentary hammertime :lol:

Man, passing up on Marcus is a questionable move. Dunno why they did that. But rondo is probably a better fit for Suns up-tempo play. And definetly a better defender.

And who the fuck is Renaldo Balkman? This is the wierdest draft ever.

EDIT: I think NJN will take A. Johnson and K. Lowry with their next 2 picks...

EDIT #2: Shit i forgot about Marcus :lol: I'm an idiot. Ok so Marcus with #22. I think the next will be Alexander Johnson. Fo shizzle!

6"1 Rondo pulled down 19 boards in a college game? :shock: Hope the Nets can pick Marcus.

Finally Marcus Williams gets drafted lol. Too bad the nets already have a point guard he'll have to sit on the bench a few years.

Marcus just went to New Jersey. I think he might get traded for some quality big men.

Two Uconn players elected back to back by the same team. Lol He's a beast on defense and a rebounder. Very driven so I can see him playing a lot of minutes behind or starting for Jason Collins.

They're now saying Rondo and Brian Grant have been traded (or are working on it) to the Celtics for....they haven't said yet.

This is coming straight from the Celtics HQ.

Rondo has been traded to the Celts. In return, the Celts will pay for Brian Gran't contract.

My guess is that this will allow the Suns to re-sign TIM THOMAS

However...AZCentral is reporting that the Suns' 27th pick will be traded for cash considerations :cry: Cheap fucking Sarver.

And there goes Lowry...

Kyle Lowry is a great guard with good quickness and jumping. He knows how to work with other guards great on the fastbreaks. Good pic for memphis with Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol.
