NBA Draft Day

I know I haven't wrote in a while but I have been lazy and didn't feel like putting down everything. I have more crazy commercials but need to locate them and of course MJ and critics but before that I want to talk about the NBA Draft.

I went to my first Draft party for the Thunder which is sad on my part. Which has nothing to do with the fact it was the Thunder, it was the fact I lived in Dallas for 18 years and after 12 years after that went to a draft party. I know sad right. Anyway it was fun I had a good time. I didn't stay for the entire draft but I did have a great time. Anyway I would talk about the Thunder picks except nothing bad to say about it. I love all their picks and think they added great additions to the team. Now the real reason for this post is because of my other love the Dallas Mavericks.

I love Dallas but sometimes I do not understand what is going on in their head. One decision that still bugs me is the trade that Dallas did with the Nets to get Jason Kidd. I love Kidd but I would never trade a young guard with great potential for him. All you get from Jason is leadership some points and managing the game. When they let Harris go they gave up youth, points and possible a franchise guard for the team. So when the draft came what needs did I think Dallas needed. Well they needed a Center because Dampier was never the answer. I would not even draft Dampier to play on a 5th grade team game. They also needed a guard because Kidd is too old and they gave up Harris. So I really wanted a big man because Dallas needs that presence since Dampier doesn't give it and every team is not afraid of going inside for Dallas. So as I was walking around the Dallas picked up Center B.J. Mullens from Ohio State. I was excited Dallas decided they needed a big man and couldn't deny it anymore. I was happy and then the Thunder drafted a guard which was cool and I went to grab some food.

I come home and re-check at the draft to see where other people went. Come to find out that Dallas and Thunder traded picks. So Dallas got a guard(sigh) and Thunder got a Center. I think the Thunder needed a center but not as bad as Dallas. So I have no clue why we have to go with another season with crappy Dampier. I am so glad I do not curse because otherwise this entire post would have a cuss word next to Dallas. I understand we need a guard but right now we have Kidd we can manage we can not manage giving up so many inside points because Dampier is horrible, he does not even qualify in the average or below average. I almost would rather have Bradley back instead of Dampier that is how bad Dampier is in my eyes.

kay I found out some more new so I need to add that as well. It looks like Dallas is looking at getting Gortat who is a backup center to go to the Mavs. Everyone talks about how good a player he is and what he would bring but I have yet to see anything or to be fair even hear his name during the season. He was on even on my list of center during fantasy basketball even when the season was done the stretch. The Mavs might be losing a horrible center for an eh center which in my eye is not much of an upgrade. I also heard they might be getting Shawn Marion aka "The Matrix". This trade would excite me if it was 10 years ago. Now Shawn is a shell of his former self and I think he would be better as coming off the bench if anything. Even then I do not know if he would hurt Dallas more than help

Well Dallas you have spoken I just hope you know what you are doing because right now you are looking ridiculous to me.
