We just got real athletic on the wings! (with or without TA)

DA loves his youngins (who can later be traded for vets) and now we have a 5 of:

Gabe, JR, Walker, Powe, Baby

I like this move too. Sometimes these guys can really work out. Also it will make our SL exciting..

It was all part of Danny's master plan: let Atlanta win three games at home so we can get some extra revenue to pick up Bill Walker. Brilliant.

Bill Walker was a projected lottery pcik last year. I think I like this move along with Giddens.

The injury concerns me, but I'm happy with this pick overall. He's talked highly about the Celtics, so I think there is a good chance he stays if he ends up being close to an all-star.

Cash's handle was always suspect. Good move.

I doubt it. 3 mill lands you a late 1st rounder. This was a mid 2nd rounder. My guess is that it's around 1 mill although I'm totally guessing.

we needed more athleticism so next year we bring in giddens, walker and the holdover gabe pruitt.

somebody call a doctor...cuz next year were gonna be SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pierce & Walker are back!

GuyClinch · Post #37 » by **GuyClinch** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:17 am

It's a good move..but we could use an upgrade instead of BBD. That guy is just too short for an NBA PF/C.

I was just thinking that, and hoping he wears #8 so I can get my jersey out of the attic.

Seriously, what do people think the odds are this guy becomes close to what he was touted as? I mean this was supposed to be incredible as a HSer. What really happened to make him available in the second round?

Couple of injuries, loss of some explosion, but he's still a great talent.

I'm really angry that PHX didn't get him.
