NBA Draft

So the “pre game” show has been on for 5 minutes, and I am ready to turn off the sound. So tired of each announcer trying to out do the others. Who can use the most effusive in their praise of Beasley, and Rose. Sickening.

Anyone think that Stephen A. Smith is just an annoying punk, besides me? So tired of clowns with a “real radio announcers voice” who get jobs because they are the right color.

Shut up Stern! And please shut that dumb porky blonde up, she is an idiot. Sickening how stupid the ESPN “eye candy” is. Not even Eye Candy, either.

Propsed Trades

• Portland sends Rush to Indiana for Bayliss

Rumors

• Darrel Arthur is said to have an issue with his kidney, and has refused to do any tests for teams who requested it. Seems the teams don’t want to risk a pick on someone with an unknown illness or who seems to be hiding one, or maybe is just uncooperative.

Kansas Coach says there is no Kidney issue. Darrell says he took blood test and all is well, he guesses that no one was contacted. Hmm, sounds fishy.

Thoughts

Listening to the announcers there seems to be a lack of talent in the draft. It also seems odd that so many people that are ranked low, are being taken so high in the draft. It also seems odd that many teams appear to be taking players that won’t produce for 2 to 4 years.
