Hopefully the Spurs don't pick Byars, lets get him in a Sixers uniform.</div> C.K. we are definitely on the same page right now. I want King to trade into the Spurs 28th spot to guarantee we get Byars. It wouldn't take much cash consideration to move up two spots.

What's the problem?</div> The Chinese Government and his agents have strictly controlled the draft workouts in the hopes of having him land in a situation where he could succeed (high Asian population, style of play that suits him, good role, etc.). They denied Milwaukee a workout, hoping that it would scare them away. But the Bucks picked him anyways (basically called their bluff) and now the big question is whether or not he shows up. Yi's said that he'll play in the NBA next season, but who knows what happens with the people around him. I like Yi as a player, but I hate the way the Chinese control their players like that.

<div class="quote_poster">Blur Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Tiago will be a Spur book it...</div> YES!!! Can we just buy Phoenix's pick here or something to secure Byars? Best case scenario would be that Josh McRoberts goes here so that Billy doesn't get tempted by the Duke prospect.
Frig man! That's not even good scouting. It's just about common sense and having the nerve to take a chance. Just not fair...
Dude, with the Splitter pick and likely Scola heading over to compliment one another, this team is going to be even more scary in 08-09.

The Spurs probably took a couple seconds to make their selections and laughed their asses off the rest of the time.
Alright, Philly is on the clock and Byars is still on the board. Pick Byars Billy King. If I don't hear Byars then it better be either Taurean Green, Marcus Williams, or 'Big Baby' Davis, but please Billy pick Byars. PICK BYARS!!!!!
