The east looks better every year. You may not see another west team win the championship for some time. This also looks bad for the raps unless more is done this offseason. How TJ has learned from his stint in toronto. He can be a chris paul type player if he chooses. (Bad decision maker). But still raw like most of the raptors players with good upside. Tyler Hansbrough(maniac on the boards) was he not in the draft.

I ended up reading this about 3 hours after the draft ended but it was still useful. Thanks a lot, Eric, for putting in the effort to go through a live blog. It was painful to watch

The Raps gotta trade for CDR and Joey Dorsey. CDR the outside presence there looking for and Dorsey is the future inside presence they want & need!!!

Really really appreciated this. I couldn’t watch the draft tonight so it was VERY entertaining to read through these posts. Thanks for your dedication.

Alright, THANKFULLY, this thing is FINALLY over.

Pretty uneventful for the Raptors, but they already made their splash with the Jermaine O’Neal deal.

Let the Nathan Jawai era in T.O. begin!

Highlight of the night … going 6 for 6 in my first picks of the night … and 7 of the first 8. But after that, my draft board and predictions fell apart (BLEW UP).

It’s been 5+ hours … and more than 230 posts (including yours) …

I’M OUT OF HERE!

Another trade:

The Clippers get Mike Taylor and the Blazker get a 2nd round pick in 2009.

I’ve gotta get home and get some sleep. I’m on the air tomorrow morning at 10:00am … co-hosting The Bullpen on the FAN with Mike Toth.

I love that for the Celtics.

Man, I know Walker has big injury problems, but the guy would have been a lottery pick out of high school and, like you said, it’s extremely low risk.

It’s… almost… over. Thanks Eric.
