Hoop’s Villain, Reality’s Hero
At least you're not a Wolves fan.
They've been actively finding ways to capture defeat in the face of victory since passing on Kobe in the draft back in 1996. All because they were "too afraid to draft two guys right out of high school for two years in a row" to pair Kobe with KG. Oddly enough, had they just hung onto Ray Allen after that draft instead of trading him for Stephon Marbury, it's entirely possible that they could have eventually gotten a title or two out of pairing Allen with KG as young stars in their primes.
*sigh* I really need to just leave this thread and quit reminding myself about all of this...![]()
The post bird Celtics were pretty bad. Including taking Antoine walker ahead of Kobe and taking Ron Mercer ahead of Tracy mcgrady.
That doesn’t even get into trading the pick that became Andre Miller for vitaly potapenko and the Jerome Moiso selection in 2000. Or taking joe forte to play him out of position instead of the guy who was mocked there for about a whole month th before the draft: Tony Parker.
