Yes I figured that out, but you guys should tone it down a notch. Using personal attacks only leads to more problems even if you are joking around.

Anyways, let's get back on track. How does anyone feel about Francisco Garcia. Good, local boy. Killer three-point shot. Reminds me of Reggie.

i hate Sisco he went to lousyville and i love kentucky pluss i hate reggie too ......get it....LOUSYville

[Delontes Herpes]

i like francisco...good shooter, good passer, i think he'll be a decent NBA player.

the one thing is, between davis, pierce, and allen, where does he get minutes?

also i hear the celtics may trade their first rounder for robert swift. i'm hoping that this does not happen.

Link? If this happens, those who said Ainge's public sentiments of Swift before last years' draft was just a diversion to get Al Jefferson will look foolish.

i could see channing frye busting, and i could see him developing into a solid center in the league. i think he'd be worth the risk at 18, considering that the C's have talented players at all positions other than center. one of his big knocks is that he is too skinny and that is a problem that is easily solved with a little hard work. i think it is a bit drastic to say you'd rather have blount...he is set for life as far as cash goes and at this point i just don't see him getting any better than he was at the end of the year when his minutes eventually decreased to nothing.

here's how i'd rank how much i'd want each guy who has a realistic shot of being available at 18
1. granger
2. frye
3. may
4. ewing
5. salim (point guard size without point guard skills but he's so wet i don't care)
6. francisco garcia
7. hakim warrick
8. villanueva
9. joey graham

2983423. wayne simien

as for the 2nd round, julius hodge is the only guy i really want but i also like omar thomas out of UTEP and i think we should use at least one pick on a high school guy or a foreigner who we won't expect to contribute for at least 2-3 years

i don't have a link...it's something that my dad told me and he is usually fairly reliable...however at this point it is no more than a rumor, and rumors rarely amount to anything. it seems that trade rumors with swift to the celtics have surfaced repeatedly so i wouldn't be so quick to say that it was "just" a diversion but there is definitely a possibility that swift was a distant 2nd choice to jeff.

and i know that ainge has a better eye for talent that i do, but i just don't know how a goofy white redhead could ever be a successful NBA player. furthermore swift played 72 minutes of garbage time this year compiling 15 points and 5 rebounds. i know it's a small sample size, but there's just no excuse for only pulling 5 boards in 72 minutes of garbage time. that's reggie miller-esque...and swift is a center.

Id dather have simien than frye even with his past injuries...i agree hodge and thomas would also be great pickups

[Delontes Herpes]

my beef with simien is that he doesn't have much of a low post game...most of his buckets come off of short J's.

as i've said i'd definitely take frye over him but only time will tell who turns out to be the better pro.

i don't see why hodge is projected to go so late...i'm not saying he should go first round but he has such a good all around game...sure he needs to add some muscle but with the recent success of combo guards such as dwyane wade and gilbert arenas (not to say that he's gonna be nearly as good as either of those 2) you'd think he would be getting a little more attention.

as for omar thomas, he's just a straight up baller. if UTEP had knocked off a team or two in the tourney (they lost by 3 to maryland in 04, they lost by 3 or 4 to utah this year i think) he would probably be getting more attention as well.

Any way we can get Brendan Haywood over from Washington? I've always liked him.
