I only remember the black mother fuckers saying Bias killed himself when he found out the Celtics took him
Monty gets weird when he's not getting enough attention. Holy smokes.

What?? Look at your comment #12, you were talking about Magic Johnson right?Yes, we know Magic was, well, magic, but does that have anything to do with the post you quoted?
Guys end up as stars drafted at nearly every position in the draft . I'd rather have a really good player for sure than a remote shot at drafting a guy who ends up better . Sure you've got a slightly better chance to get an elite talent at 2 than you do at 12 or 22 but if you miss at 2 ( happens all the time ) it sets you back far more as well
I was stunned to hear that nonsense.

Yes, I said if the Lakers hadn't had the #1 pick he would have chosen to stay at MSU another year (or two). And then you listed his accomplishments with state and as a rookie with the Lakers.What?? Look at your comment #12, you were talking about Magic Johnson right?
Actually he would have been playing for Michigan State another year. He came out because LA had the #1 pick.
No it doesn't.
As most here will tell you, the absolute worst position to be in is to have a 40-45 win roster with little future upside.
I just finished watching NBA Finals Game 6 on You Tube. Celtics defeated the Rockets to win their 16th NBA title. Towards the end of the game, one of the announcers mentions that Danny Ainge's development was one of the reasons the Celtics felt they could trade away Gerald Henderson. They ended up getting Seattle's 1st round draft pick, which ended up being the number two pick.
We all know that didn't end up working out for the Celtics, as Len Bias tragically died, but I was wondering how the Celtics were able to get the Sonics' first round pick for Gerald Henderson. Was Gerald Henderson regarded as one of the best players in the league back then? Were the Sonics expected to do much better in the 1985-1986 season? They finished 31-51 in 1984-1985, and they wound up finishing 31-51 again in 1985-1986.
I didn't start following the NBA until the 1986-1987 season, and even then, I was only 7 years old, and I didn't even know who Gerald Henderson was.
You don't remember that nonsense? The insane hatred for the Celtics because they were a "white" team? I couldn't believe people would be so stupid to believe such a thing about Bias.And you wonder why people think you are racist?
The odds are ok picking at the top , I wouldn't say they're real good. Go back and look at the top 3 picks the past decade . It's less than 50/50 and you need more than 1 star anyway so most teams don't benefit even by having 1 real studNo it doesn't.

When you are picking at the top of the draft, the odds of drafting a star are not remote. They are actually pretty good. Every spot down the order you go, the odds fall dramatically. Picking outside the lottery you are highly unlikely to draft a star.
And you need stars to win in the NBA. Good players like Robert Covington and Malcom Brogdon are necessary role players on good teams, but you need the stars to contend. And the stars are really hard to find.
Are you really saying that Gerald Henderson was worth a #2 pick? Forget about the actual result in this case for a second. Bias was projected to be a real star.
Can you blame him? It was a one time chance to go to a championship caliber team rather than a doormat as the #1 pick.Yes, I said if the Lakers hadn't had the #1 pick he would have chosen to stay at MSU another year (or two). And then you listed his accomplishments with state and as a rookie with the Lakers.
Yeah so? You don't like stats?Yes, I said if the Lakers hadn't had the #1 pick he would have chosen to stay at MSU another year (or two). And then you listed his accomplishments with state and as a rookie with the Lakers.
Stats are great, but somewhat of a non-sequitur.Yeah so? You don't like stats?
Not sure if I agree that the Gasol trade was that much of a steal since the Grizzlies did get Marc Gasol in return & he thrived on Memphis.
I only remember the black mother fuckers saying Bias killed himself when he found out the Celtics took him
Yeah, it was a steal at the time it happened. But considering the career Marc had in Memphis, it actually ended up being a very good trade for both teams.
Plus, for some reason, Marc usually kicked Pau's ass when they played each other. For some reason, Pau always struggled against his brother.
Okay?Stats are great, but somewhat of a non-sequitur.
