the special Draft Day show will air @ 4:30-7:00.
They added an extra half our to the show and are starting it a hour early due to the strong possiblity of trade activity at the begining of the draft... hmmmm.

I thought the draft was always on TNT? Was it on ESPN last year?

yea it was on espn last year

riehldeal

the commentators are so much better on TNT....the draft was fun with ernie kenny and charles along with the others like saiger and vescey.....ESPN's coporate bland style killed the draft last year with BS like Tolbert....they made the mistake of trying to make it like the NFL draft (hello dumb ****s!) this is the NBA not the NFL just because it works for something else doesnt mean use it for another.....this is just another example of the debacle of the partnership between the NBA and the disney networks....ABC coverage of the NBA is HORRENDOUS to say the very least and the ESPN regular season coverage is only a touch better.....the only respectable and watchable TV personality in their coverage (both ABC and ESPN) is Greg Anthony, everyone else is a bunch of coporate TOOLS!!!!!!

sorry had to rant, started with draft coverage and quickly spiralled out of control...haha


you know the drill. no masked swearing allowed. thank you, drive through.

cimalee

fellas the server on kxl.com is not alowing me to hear it

cimalee

iam sorry fellas post a recap of the show for whoever hears it . Thanks

Zach is in great shape, Has lost 8 lbs since the seasons end.

Travis Outlaw has gained 18 lbs..so he's 218 lbs, and Bobby Madena wants to put on 15 more lbs this summer. So Travis could come in next season : 6'9" 233 lbs

QRICH

Also, the Orlando/Houston deal is not a done deal. Phx is still in the hunt, but is asking Orlando for BOTH Tmac and the #1 pick, but dosn't want to give up Amare Stoudemire

i heard reports that Travis is expected to continue to grow...i cannot remember who said this but i recall 6'11 being thrown around...that would be awesome but eliminate all SG talk...he would actually then become even a border line SF and more of a PF....all interesting stuff

Telfair...Miles...Outlaw...Zbo...Jefferson?

Big Al could be our C of the future if he grow another inch or so...other possiblities include PJ Ramos and the continued development of Nedzad, and i'm sure we will ride the Theo train until he is no longer able to walk or in his case jump and block shots

Storyteller

According to another site, Rice announced the names of those who will be taken in the expansion draft tomorrow. How he knows is a mystery to me.

To those who listened to the show - did he really make this announcement?

Here are the names he supposedly gave:

Jahidi White
Marcus Fizer
Courtney Alexander
Predrag Drobnjak
Erick Strickland
Troy Bell
Gerald Wallace
Juan Dixon
Aleksandar Pavlovic
JR Bremer
Jason Kapono

No mention on the other site of the RFA's they'd select as well.

CrGiants

Yes, Rice said according to his sources, that's who was selected. Maybe I was dreaming, but later in the show, I thought he said he got it through the Charlotte newspaper.
