If I'm a Heat fan I WANT TO KNOW why is Riles so damn dissapointed in drafting Beasley!

What did he not like about him that he would even consider taking Mayo or even Bayless over him?

Is there a flaw in his game that Riley spotted in workouts?

Maybe he just doesnt like the Idea of having 2 small forwards in his starting lineup, 6'8 Beasley and 6'7 Marion.

Have you heard all the stuff coming out of Miami? To sum it up, "Riley: Nah, nah, nah, nah, we somehow got Michael Beasley without the top pick in the draft, nah, nah, nah, nah!"

I'm happy about draft night, but I'll wait to see at the start of the season to see what our roster is to see if I'll be completely happy. I'm hoping for change but hearing about that moves might not be done this off season has made me feel uneasy.

I'm 50-50. Drafting Rose was the obvious choice but i was hoping Pax would get a low post banger and foul absorber like Richard Hendrix in the second round and not some Turkish lad but i hope he will prove me wrong though.

Go bulls!

RageofDaBulls

im not Happy..yeah we got Rose,and that made me very happy but Pax didn't do anything else to fix this roster last night.what we saw last year was just a %^&(^&* disgrace and yet Pax is still singing the same old tune of "take it slow,be safe"instead of kicking KH and BG's *** out the door the first chance he gets.

KH should have been sent to Por for that #13/Rush or at the very least CDR should have been taken in the 2nd rd to start to rebuild the one and two spots.i even heard one guy say that he thought we didn't take CDR because it may have kept Rose in that "Freshman" state of mind.i say if thats the case then you shouldn't have taken Rose at all,because i don't want a "LEADER" that "FOLLOWS" someone else lead(hey that kinda sounds like Pax huh?)

we got handed the #1 and we have TO MANY PIECES on this team,that should = a major draft day trade and Pax should have made this draft the bulls,yet as always he sits around on his thumbs waiting on someone else to lead him to where he should go(in this case BG/DENG).

You really need to know what you're talking about before you rant like that. I agree we should've had some balls in the draft, but July 1st is really the first day that we will be able to make trades due to contracts restricting trades now. Hinrich's contract is too hard to trade now, and in less than a week that'll change. That's also when Deng and Gordon can (hopefully WILL) be traded. So I fully expect a lot of changes to come in the next few weeks or month. I didn't expect much, if any, on draft day.

As for how happy I am, I'd rate my happiness level an 8 or so. Ecstatic we got Rose instead of Beasley. I think we should've been like Portland moving around, buying picks, etc. Arthur, Jordan, DRC, Walker, etc were all there for the taking, and instead we give up a bunch of picks to get some euro-trash stiff that will likely (99% chance IMO) never amount to anything for us.

Now, if we trade Gordon, Noc, Deng, Gooden, etc for some good players (Josh Smith, Joe Alexander, Amare Stoudemire, Emeka Okafor, etc) and don't ship off Tyrus, Thabo and Hinrich, it'll be a big success to me. The draft was just the beginning, and there will be a domino effect in the next week or so most likely.

Case

And just in case you missed it in the post above: July 1 is the first day that guys like Hinrich and Nocioni can be traded. Sure, they can be traded before that, but with BYC status disappearing on July 1, it becomes much easier to do so.

This has been stated ad nauseum on this board, but still we see impatient Chicago fans whining about no trades on draft night.

I was reading an article on NBA.com earlier, and I don't recall what player it was, but some player (on a different team) wasn't tradeable before July 7th. I heard July 1st for our guys though, so idk what the deal is there. So I expect July 7th to be when trades really start getting talked about, as apparently some guys can't really be traded till then, plus July 1st is when Pax said contract discussions with Deng and Gordon will start. Knowing the snails' pace that Pax does things, it might be August before anything happens, if it ever does lol.

The Krakken

Good thing you aren't the GM. Gordon, Ok. Noc, fine. But Not Deng. Forget it. You are willing to just blow up the team, because they underperformed?

I'm not. Some pieces have to be shipped out, but not HALF the team. And not for players who have never won anything (like Josh smith, ALexander and Okafor)

No trades until July 7th. What will happen is that trades can be agreed to, but the NBA has a one week player movement moratorium (used to be 2 weeks), where there can be no player movement (maybe a team can cut a guy...I'm not sure)...but no trades or signings (other than rookie contracts I believe). So the teams will agree to a trade in that period, and than it will become official on July 7th (just like teams agreeing to sign a guy, and then it going through on July 7th).

P to the Wee

Starting at th 11th pick my friends and I started calling the draft picks. I got about 80% right so I'm happy
