Achieving Peace by Remembering the Past: The 2009 StR Draft Thread
I was making my plans on how to experience this year's draft, and I decided to find out approximately when the actual picks start being made by reviewing last year's draft thread. In addition to answering my initial question (it appears that the clock starts on the first pick at 4:30), it was...
Pistons Sign Austin Daye
Like all first-round picks, the first two years of the deal are guaranteed. Austin's contract will be worth between $2.9-$3.5 million, depending on whether Detroit gives him the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement. ...
Cavaliers' Top Pick to stay in Spain, at least for one season
Christian Eyenga, the 30th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, has signed a 3 year deal with DKV Joventut in Spain. The deal allows Eyenga to leave for the NBA after each season without a buy-out, however, meaning the Cavs can include him in their plans as soon as next season....

Fantastic News!
There will be a fourth (and final) SASHSoG video! Actually, this was announced a few weeks ago, but I hadn't seen it anywhere. Since the Stephen A Smith Heckling Society of Gentlemen was probably the best thing ever produced by the NBA draft, this is bittersweet (though still fantastic) news. I...
Riley and Nelson talk Warriors: On the Monta Ellis visit, the point guard issue, and Jordan Hill [Talking Points]
Here's a very interesting transcription of the Q&A with Warriors GM Larry Riley which was conducted earlier today. Head coach Don Nelson sneaks in for a bit too. I must say Riley sounds far more savvy and knowledgeable than former Warriors front office man Chris Mullin ever did in these...
2009 NBA Draft "Green Room" Invites
The NBA doesn't want to embarrass anyone, so they do their own research among GM's to try to invite only those likely to go in the lottery or shortly thereafter. That's certainly no guarantee, though. Remember Darrell Arthur and the sudden "oh-my-god-he-has-a-kidney-or-something" issue last...
