The Heat waive Jarvis Vanardo. Josh Harrellson :win: again dude was a bench warmer when Vanardo was the best center in the SEC :heh:

And Deandre Liggins gets the final roster spot on the Oklahoma City Thunder :ahh:

Good for Harrellson. Dude set on the bench at UK but was ready when they needed him. Liggins played his ass off to get that spot & I'm happy that the Thunder are keeping him. Still say we should trade Lazar for a 2nd round pick or waive him though. I'd rather have Orton taking up a roster spot as a big, than a guy who ain't seeing the floor at all.

Nah, big Drum went 9th, Austin went 10th.

The Cavs however could have had Drummond and Valanciunas or Valanciunas and Robinson/Barnes.


Jonas had 15/7 in 20 minutes tonight, both Drummond and Jonas look better than Thompson or Waiters.

2 years in a row during the draft i had the :why: face. I don't get what is going on with there scouting and tristan isn't turning up yet and I doubt that waiters will either.

you gotta get down with the "advanced scouting" and "advanced stats" the Cav's have. :rudy: I feel for Kyrie, but I honestly think he could mess around and have them contending for the playoffs next year. He had the Cav's in the playoff hunt and was the 8th or 9th seed before the all star break last season, but the Cav's realized that they had to tank.....in order to draft DION WAITERS :what: :snoop: No joke, I don't remember anything or even know who he was before the draft, and I was watching Syracuse games and Fab Melo and Scoop Jardine stood out more to me out of everyone and I don't even remember Waiters :mindblown:

Em I the only one that thinks that the Blazers might be able to surprise a lot of teams? This is a solid line-up of Lillard, Wes Mathews, Batum, Hickson, and LMA. And they got Leonard, who has an NBA ready body already, and some alright Euros' on the team. IDK I think they could make a run for the 8th spot, but its gonna be hard, but I think Lillard and Aldridge should be good enough for the Blazers to be really good. Lillard reminds a bit of Westbrook, but a Point Guard version of :russ: as he can control the tempo of the game and is really good at creating for others, has really good court vision and has a really good jump shot and can shoot the 3 ball. It seems like they might be better off on continue to rebuild and get another pick, but I think they might be onto something and can surprise a lot of teams.

They definitely have a nice nucleus of players.

Nah, I just think they made such a massive mistake and will point that out from now until I'm put in the grave :youngsabo:

Taking Waiters over Drummond was utterly stupid at the time, and looks even worse now that Drummond doesn't appear to be 1/10th as raw as people thought. I can kind of understand not taking Jonas, but even then it was stupid, their frontcourt could have been beastly.
