Thought it would be nice to have a place where we can post during the season to follow those players we were projected to draft instead Stuckey. We can check in to see how these players have affected or infected their teams nightly if at all. Don't recall which if any of the names mentioned above were still available when we drafted and if there were other names that may need to be added.It was a great debate when last season ended and with hindsight being 20-20; this is our hindsight.

Thanks

If you build it they will come.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and giving me the courage to start a thread. I am always afraid of mucking up the forum so I always "find" a place to put my two cents instead of making a place for it.

We'll see how it goes.

No need to be afraid friend. I know you will be discreet!

Durant goes down with left ankle sprain.

With all of these ankle sprains already, does anyone know if the league mandated some change in sneakers this year?

Durant wasn't a player the Pistons were considering. I think you missed Delfino Deliver's intentions for this thread.

I see your point.

I will repost on the Durant thread.

Thanks

Not good.

I wonder if it was a jersey that wasn't tucked in, which I believe is against NBA rules.

6 weeks to heal and another 3 - 6 weeks before he can play ball. Once a break heals then you need to go through physical therapy and only after the healed areas are strong enough and the hand is flexible enough will he be allowed to start practicing.

Sounds like a 2 - 3 month injury minimum, maybe 30 - 40 games minimum.

Basically this year is pretty well shot for him. Even if he returns after 30 - 40 games it is highly unlikely that he will get into the rotation. Sending him to the D league at that point would probably be the best move, so he can get heavy minutes.

The problem is that he is trying to learn to play the #1 which is the hardest position to learn to play in the NBA. So it wouldn't make sense to bring a rookie off of the injured list and put him into the rotation after having missed the first 3 months of his rookie year.

Appears to be a real downer.

Maybe we can get Mateen from N.J. His PG skills are certainly a lot a better than Murray even if his shooting isn't and I can't see Hunter being the backup point guard for 3 months.

This is a great and very original idea for a thread DD!

It should be fun to check in on our "could have beens" throughout the season.

My wife always makes fun of me because when I'm about to make a "major" purchase, I'll always research it to death first. Then after I've finally bought the item, I'll still continue to check in on and research similar items well after the fact. Not because I have any intention of returning the item that I bought to get a better one, or getting money back if I see it for cheaper somewhere else. Simply because I'm a "glutton for punishment" according to her. So this thread is right up my alley!

We've made our "purchases". The question now is, "Will we have buyers remorse?"
