Funny stuff. I gotta laugh at any post that uses "unamerican" and "suspiciously
well-adjusted" as synonyms. :-)   As for myself, no way do I let my mom tell me
what my plans are, now that I have a wife. ;-)

I like this thread. One thought, I wonder where Kenyon Martin would have gone,
broken leg and all, in this year's draft? It would have probably been portrayed
as a "reach" if Boston picked him with either the 10th or 11th pick. That's just
my opinion. Same deal I think with "viagra boy", Marcus Pfizer, because of the
doubts about his actual height and his lack of rebounding ability. I wonder who
the Bulls will draft this year, assuming Jason Williams also declares.
Presumably they must also be looking at local Chicago product Eddy Curry, which
might put Fizer on the trading block. The Bulls rebuilding plan isn't some sort
of brilliant master plan, they are just a crap team with mediocre talent
evaluation skills in the front office. I guess I'm just jealous of their
position at the sweet spot of the draft year after year.
