Some post draft day thoughts

Billy King sucks. He is NOT a competent GM. So basically we traded AI (a future hall of famer) for Andre Miller, Joe Smith, Jason Smith, and Derrick Byars. Now I like Miller. He's one of the top point guards in the game and an excellent leader, but he's aging and doesn't give much in the way of scoring. Smith was basically thrown in for salary cap reason (even though he only gives us like 5 million more in space, which may be enough to get us Smush Parker). Jason Smith is a long-term project (and can't say I have high hopes for him). Byars, though he may have been a steal in the second round and can shoot, will most likely not be a big-time scorer in the NBA. So that's it. Only the Sixers can enter a draft with three first rounders and leave with only two first round picks. And picking Thaddeus Young over Al Thornton (when what we desperately need is some sort of inside scoring presence)? And a small forward is nice.... except that we already have Iguodala (who I predict will make the all-star team next year) and Rodney Carney (our first round draft pick last year). Bravo Billy King. You suck.

- What's the big fucking deal with the iPhone? It's just a damn phone with an ipod built-in. Cause ipod's are clearly too heavy and cumbersome to carry by themselves. And why would you wait in line for days to get a damn phone? Is it gonna let you talk to people differently? Do you read their fucking minds? This shit's beyond me.

- So why do they put the weather channel on in bars in the South? Can someone explain this to me. Weather does NOT become more interesting as you get drunker.

- So has anyone actually listened to "sexyback" sober? After hearing "get your sexy on, go ahead, be gone with it" for the tenth time, you kinda wanna shoot yourself in the head.

- They just used fish-monger on CNN. Priceless

- So that one company who's slogan is "people are smart." No. They're not. Get a new slogan cause that's wrong.

- Christian radio sucks. Who would want to hear about why you're a sinner while you're driving? And on a related note, I went to a Mexican restaurant and they didn't serve margaritas. Bible-belt Texas blows.
