Just know that if the Nuggets had gotten the #2 pick, they would have selected Darko over Melo too...

I remember hearing that pretty much every team in the L would've taken Darko had they owned the #2 pick.

And an athletic 7'3 big man who can block shots has limited upside? People talked about how tremendous his upside was, so your point is invalid. Thabeet was projected to be a defensive force. He was compared to Mutombo on most draft sites.

Ya'll act like I'm asking for a starter for Thabeet by himself.

I don't know what draft sites you were reading but Thabeet's ceiling was being a one-dimensional defensive player. And everyone knew that was both a stretch and a project.

If Thabeet gets traded, I would bet he would be a throw in. If he's by himself, you'll be lucky to get a second rounder and a scrub.

You knew a streak like this would be coming from Miami...they're figuring it out.

Yep, the hype he had was unreal.

9 straight games with 10+ digit victories for the Heat (Soon to be 10 with the Cavs coming to Miami on Wed.

)

All of the big 3 seem to be figuring how to contribute on any given night, and once Mike Miller comes back they are only going to be better for that

True, I wasn't trying to single out the Pistons, I just couldn't find some of the other articles with other people saying essentially the same thing. Plus I thought that one was hilarious.

It's sort of a shame he got drafted to such a talented, and the eventual championship, squad, which was coincidentally coached by somebody notorious for not liking young guys. Who knows how he may have turned out had he received the same opportunities that his draft class peers received.

30 front offices couldn't have been that wrong, right?
