Draft Chatter: Today's Trades, ESPN, and Uncle Luke

Minutes away from the 2008 NBA Draft, CHN writers got together to discuss the day's trades and what always turns out to be an exciting evening:

Nets-Bucks Talk

Jeff Borzello that milwaukee-new jersey deal is absolutely horrendous

Jason Tomassini yeah can we all congratulate shawn [a Nets fan] on the Yi Jianlian Era? mild applause

Shawn Siegel ha.. funny

Jeff Borzello when they move to brooklyn...they better have a good product. if they exchanged draft picks too, then it may have made sense..

Jason Tomassini vince carter is already examining body parts to see what injury he can fake this year

Shawn Siegel the nets should trade vince for the bucks mascot next

Jeff Fox i don't see the point of if for the bucks.

Jeff Borzello for the bucks? they're going to pair redd and jefferson

Jason Tomassini the bucks are just desperately trying to sell tickets the nets desperately want lebron, and apparently they really want the # pick in 09

Jeff Fox so what! redd and jefferson aren't going to win them any games

Shawn Siegel Yea, the Bucks will be a joke too

Jeff Fox yi is a solid player

Shawn Siegel guy is softer than tissue

Raphielle Johnson Jay-Z will reel in LeBron...then they'll get hit with a tampering charge

Ripping RJ

Jeff Borzello jefferson isnt gonna win them games?

Jeff Fox nope.. guys like jefferson are a dime a dozen in the league

Shawn Siegel Yea, Jefferson is nd tier

Jeff Borzello a dime a dozen seems like a bit much, though?

Jeff Fox i know

Shawn Siegel yea, thats harsh, the guy averaged a game..

Jeff Fox just trying to get my point across

Pacers/Raptors

Raphielle Johnson what did you all think about the o'neal/ford deal?

Jeff Fox good for the raptors, ford is a cancer

Shawn Siegel how could o'neal ever pass a physical? he's worse than moises alou now

Jeff Borzello both are injury-prone...we'll see what happens

Raphielle Johnson well, O'Neal has to understand that Bosh is the man in Toronto

Shawn Siegel I like it much better from Indiana's perspecive. Ford is a step up over the Pacers playing Travis Diener..

Jason Tomassini its pretty low risk for both teams

Jeff Borzello but o'neal is going to be all ball-hog central

Jason Tomassini the raps werent getting anything out of ford with calderon

Jeff Borzello calderon is nice

Jason Tomassini and they werent getting anyone good at

Green With Envy

Shawn Siegel Whose going to be the last guy stuck in the Green Room?

Shawn Siegel DeAndre Jordan?

Jeff Borzello robin lopez

Jason Tomassini randolph

Jeff Fox rush

Jeff Borzello for some reason, teams love deandre jordan

Shawn Siegel Darrell Arthur could be slipping too

Jason Tomassini nah, arthur is apparently not getting by

Jeff Fox r lopez is on the rise

Random Departure

Jeff Borzello ill be back in a little...i gotta get my suit on for the green room

Raphielle Johnson haha

Jeff Fox good luck

Raphielle Johnson hope you have a number like the one Samaki Walker wore with a top hat

Jeff Borzello thanks man..ill get drafted before one of the kansas boys

Stephen A

Jason Tomassini next question who's interview with Stephen A. Smith is the biggest disaster?

Jason Tomassini he probably cant say gallinari

Raphielle Johnson he'll be confused as all hell in that interview

Shawn Siegel Where is Stephen A?

Shawn Siegel I dont see him on the telecast

Jason Tomassini he was demoted to interview duty

Alert!

Shawn Siegel Wow, Andy Katz reporting the breaking news that the Bulls are taking Derrick Rose

Raphielle Johnson haha, newsflash!

Knick Fans

Shawn Siegel Can't wait til the Knicks fans boo the heck out of Gallinari

Raphielle Johnson yup

Shawn Siegel I'm guessing they'll throw spaghetti at the stage

Damion Beasley

Raphielle Johnson so let me get this straight Beasley's stock dropped because of some pranks that we can see on MTV every week?

Jason Tomassini yes, exactly

Raphielle Johnson I'd take Rose, but that is insane

Jason Tomassini shawn and i talked about this tuesday night.. what did beasley do exactly? I mean oj mayo broke many rules!

Shawn Siegel Basically it comes down to this Beasley didnt make the Final Four, so half the GM's have never seen him play

Jason Tomassini oj mayo did some chris webber type stuff and no one blinks an eye

Shawn Siegel at least he never called a timeout he didnt have..

Jeff Fox beasley committed the greatest sin of all - he has compared to derrick coleman!!

Jason Tomassini i think shawn mentioned it, but I swear beasley gets killed because he has what's known in the scouting world as "High Eyes"

Raphielle Johnson haha

Jason Tomassini he looks like Jim Breuer

Raphielle Johnson some Funyuns man, Funyuns

Who?

Raphielle Johnson they're worried Beasley will run the pick and roll with Luther Campbell...but I would too

Jeff Fox uncle luke

Shawn Siegel I dont get that reference, but I'll assume its funny

Raphielle Johnson lead singer of " Live Crew" back in the day

Did He Really Go There?

Jason Tomassini i dont understand the connection of "Beasley likes to play pranks" to "Beasley will be snorting cocaine off of South Beach hookers" if he is picked by Miami

Jason Tomassini haha, i just wanted to give Shawn an editorial decision right there

Raphielle Johnson lol

Shawn Siegel I like Snorting Cocaine A Draft Chat as the title of this

Jeff Fox the mailman was impregnating -year-olds and he still had a pretty good career!

Jason Tomassini haha
