    That doesn't even make sense.

    Well.. KP targets guys he wants, and doesn't succumb to whoever falls to them. It's a little more acceptable I guess.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    And Pritchard's body of work clearly supports that he's bad at his job.

    The fact that someone who has a history of making good decisions puts in a lot more time and effort, and has a whole lot more information, is hardly a non sequitur.

    "OMG WHY DIDNT KP READ DRAFTEXPRESS...THEN HED NO WHAT A BAD PICK THIS WAS!!11!"

    Also, I was responding to oldmangrouch's contention that Pritchard "mailed it in," which implies he put no thought or effort in. So your "non sequitur" accusation is even sillier.

    I stand corrected.

    Ok, there has to be something about Dejuan Blair that's scaring them away (other than the knees), this is ridiculous!

    I agree we should have drafted Shaq, Carter, and Jefferson at that 22 spot.

    Don't you think July is a little more important than this weak fucking draft?

    reread your post:
    KP Experience > Poster's Experience => KP = right

    to which I responded that, using your "logic"

    Elgin Baylor Experience > Just About Anyone's Experience => Elgin = always right

    This is an obvious contradiction, Elgin made many more bad decisions that good.

    Get it?

    How many times can we pass on Blair in this draft? [/quote]

    ...and that's three. I'm more pissed at passing on Llull at this point.

    HEY EVERYONE!

    Look at how the rest of the league jumped all over KP's mistake by ALSO passing on Blair!

    What the heck is going on here.

    30 picks and nobody has drafted the best offensive rebounder in a decade!
