this is what i dont get. why did the 76ers draft payton and then just trade him for saric when they could have just drafted saric in the first place? if its just a straight up trade then the 76ers are fucking dumb and its not like the rookie wage between 10 and 12 pick is huge.

oh ya and the raptors continue to fuck up drafts. complete unknown player? grats. this guy better turn out to be the next michael jordan.

It's nt straight up and was probably conditional on Saric being there. Also Denver probably wasn't going to try to stash him after just trading for Afflalo and looking to win now. Saric not a threat at 11 leads to the trade opening up.

i still fail to see how its worth their while to do this and not just draft a player that they like. like what are they really going to get? an extra pick that really wont mean anything? 76ers arent really in a position to waste picks like that, they need help like everywhere.

saric wont even come over in at least 1-2 years. complete waste.

Waste picks? They get an extra second. They're pulling a Patriots: get enought late picks and SOME will pan out. I like the move. Those other teams don't really need a stash guy.

Cleanthony Early was made to be a Spur.

EDIT: Oh shit Mini Kemba back with Kemba!

EDIT 2: NOOOOOO

Apparently Napier got traded to Miami, we'll see.

Miami gave up 26, 55, and a future 2nd.

Woot. We drafted the second best Swiss player drafted into the NBA. First was Sefolosha.

Your argument is contradictory. Either his skill is valuable and therefore worth paying a lot, or you believe his skill is not as valuable as others perceive it, and and therefore he's overpaid. You can't say you believe in his value and at the same time believe he'll be paid too much for that value.

Nothing about my argument is contradictory, dude. You can acknowledge that someone is valuable but that they will get overpaid. Joe Johnson was a valuable player and was horrendously overpaid. The amount any team will have to pay Asik will probably be more than he's worth entirely because he's tall. Welcome to the NBA where starting level big men get overpaid for their production.
