So it is all but certain we take Tristan Thompson at 7 or else this trade would have been pointless, but who do we take at 9?

Also if we do take Thompson do the Bobs move Diaw by the end of the night?

Why do you say that?

What if we moved up to get Kemba and then take Leonard, Morris, or Singleton at 9? I don't see how that would be pointless. We aren't in dire need of a 4.

I personally don't see that drastic of a difference between Tyrus and Thompson?

After moving Jack, WE HAVE to be drafting a guy we hope to be a starter at the 3 now.

Here's what I think will happen now:

Either we trade the 7th or 9th to Houston for 14 and 23.

OR

We hold onto both 7th and 9th and trade Diaw or TT for late first rounder.

Awesome. This is the first time we've ever clearly WON in a trade.

Great quote on twitter earlier from one of the media guys:

The Bucks are the new Bobcats.

Because Thompson had a promise from Detroit. Detroit was not going to take Leonard or Walker. If we wanted Leonard and Walker we could have traded for the 10th pick and had the 9th and 10th and took both of them.

The general consensus is that the Bobcats will take Tristan Thompson with the 7th and then take Kemba Walker or Kawhi Leanord with the 9th (which ever one the Pistons don't take).

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
