- "We were forced into this pick, and plan to bury him on the bench until he runs out his contract." -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 17:45
- Well, if you're picking in the top 10, it's not like the kid can hurt the team. -- nm - David Jun 26, 17:43 10
  - Otto Porter Jr is still a worse #3 pick than a guy with a bad back and a broken foot. - Hunta Jun 26, 18:07

- Wha? - Hunta Jun 26, 17:22 1
  - They are really weird sometimes, I have no reasoning. A few weeks ago they got The Railway Man instead of Godzilla/Neighbors -- nm - MDH Jun 26, 17:46

    - With the Draft, I always wait an hour to see if a player is picked by the team but I think Rondo goes at the trade deadline, not before. -- nm - David Jun 26, 17:27
    - i agree, but i see him as a tradeable commodity...nm - x Jun 26, 17:25
