2013 NBA Draft insta-analysis
By The 21st Century
Media Alliance
The FDH Lounge and The 21st
Century Media Alliance cover the 2013 NBA Draft with Rick Morris, Paul Pasek,
Jason Jones, Ben Chew and Christopher Galloway.
Paul: BREAKING NEWS: Cavs are
selecting me 1st overall.
Rick: Paul, right now your
wheels are better than Nerlens Noel's. #TryYourWaiterAndTipTheVeal
Paul: That's true and my hair
is better too.
Ben: #ImBack
Jason: I'm not in front of a
TV yet, but despite what the quote experts are saying, let me say this...
ALEX LEN!!!!!!!
Rick: BTW, Jason, biggest
draft-night steal right here:
http://www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/062713aab.html
Rick: If the Cavs keep the
pick, it needs to be Macklemore. Most talented player. #RayAllen2K13
#ImGonnaPopSomeTags
Rick: As a Cavs fan, the only
thing I can promise is that I'll be disappointed.
Ben: Anthony Bennett time!
Rick: Somebody PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE tell me Bennett can play the 3! #SoYoureSayingTheresAChance
Ben: LOL, he can play
Jason: I don't know what the
heck is going on. FB is not updating. Getting notification ms that you guys are
talking but I can't see it.
Rick: Can't wait until you
catch up, Jason, so you can see how masterfully I trolled you above!
Ben: CANADA CANADA
Jason: If that Ohio Bobcat
gets drafted, then Sherwood Brown of my Florida Gulf Coast Eagles better get
picked.
Jason: Did they really take
Bennett? I'm speechless. There were 3 acceptable players (in my opinion).
Bennett was not one of them.
Rick: 1 Bennett to CLE 2 Oladipo to ORL 3 Porter to WAS 4 Zeller to CHA
Jason: Yes Rick, he can play
the 3. In a similar vein of Lebron. 6'8, 240, physically dominate. Takes it to
the rack any time he can, but he can hit shots. I'm actually intrigued by this
pick.
Jason: I love how the
supposed "experts" kept saying Noel, McLemore, Porter. Not
necessarily in that order, but those are the three that will be off the board
going into pick 4.
Rick: 5 Len to PHO
#UkraineNotWeak!
Paul: Len before Noel.
Nerlens will fall to Cle at 19 lol.
Paul: Or not. Pelicans get
their man
Rick: And Nerlens Noel is a
Pelican. #TheUnibrowANDKidNPlay? #TeamsWillAverageOnly70PPGOnThem
Jason: Now Noel next to Davis is brilliant. One guy who scores extremely well next
to a guy who can hardly score. It's like Nerlens Noel + Anthony Davis = the
perfect big.
Rick: One of them scores
extremely well? LOLZ
Rick: McLemore to Sacramento. #KingsFansSayThisIsF#&kingAwesome
Jason: I'm gonna let that one
slide...
Paul: When David Stern leaves
the stage tonight, he'll do it with a crotch chop and a "suck it"
Paul: Noel to.Philly? Hmmm
Rick: It's the Pope of Auburn
Hills!
Paul: Prince of Bel Air was a
better show.
Rick: Trey Burke to MIN!
#RickyRubioSezHi
Rick: Trey Burke's mom's
voice puts me in mind of Dave Chappelle imitating a white person.
Rick: McCollum to PORT? Wow, Minnesota thinks they have a clogged depth chart at PG.
Rick: OK, so Burke is headed
to Utah, allegedly. Here's hoping he's not going to wear
disturbing, grape-hugging short shorts just because he'll be their PG.
Rick: So Carter-Williams,
another guy who hyphenated his name with his wife's, goes to Philly.
Jason: I'm so confused. GET ME TO A DAMN TV!!!
Rick: Yeah, being in front of
a TV doesn't make this less confusing.
#WhatInTheWideWideWorldOfSportsIsGoingOnHere?
Rick: Wait, the X Games are
being contested in Munich? Here's hoping there's some semblance of security in
place this time!
Rick: Steven Adams to OKC!
#TieMeKangarooDownSportTieMeKangarooDown #OopsWrongCountry!
Rick: Obligatory non-NBA
note: my favorite Aussie Rules Football team, the Western Bulldogs, just hired
Graham Lowe as their new general manager. #JustAShadeOffTopic
Jason: Any update on the
trade? Noel for Carter-Williams? Was there anyone else in the deal?
Rick: That ain't it. Noel for
Jrue & a 2014 #1.
Rick: Kelly Olynyk picked by Dallas, goes to Boston. #BetterTheCeltsThanMyCavs!
Paul: Nothing is off topic.
That's how we roll.
Jason: Wow, I like Jrue
Holiday to New
Orleans. Olynyk
to Boston is intriguing.
Jason: Rick, you don't like
Whitey McNeedsahaircut?
Rick: Shabazz Muhammad to Utah. Isn't he a little ... um ... exotic for that
fanbase? #NotSayingAnythingAboutThoseFansPerSe
Rick: Not as such, Jason. And
given that the Cavs were rumored to be acquiring the Dallas pick, bullet dodged!
Rick: Giannis
I-Ain't-Spelling-Out-The-Last-Name goes to Milwaukee.
Rick: And Shabazz goes to
Minny in the trade. #HowzAboutHimAndKLoveToTheCavsForEveryoneNotNamedKyrie?
Jason: I'm good with that.
Kyrie, Shabazz, Love and 34 million for free agents. I like it
Rick: Now that's a Big Three
we can believe in!
Rick: Lucas The Brazilian
Dude With Weird Hair goes to Boston. #HowAboutThemApples?
Paul: He needs a bigger hat
Rick: Dennis Schroeder to Atlanta. #NotAnAryanGerman
Rick: Shane Larkin is a
His-Awk!
Paul: Cavs are up. Whatcha
think?
Rick: The Cavs should pick
Crabbe. Because they evidently hate me (and all fans), it will be Karasev.
Paul: Larkin looks to be a
His-Mav now.
Paul: Karasev is the rumor I
heard too.
Paul: There it is.
Rick: Proving yet again that
fatalism is the key to accurately forecasting a Cavs' pick.
Rick: Tony Snell to Chicago. Most noteworthy export from New Mexico since Heisenberg.
Rick: Dieng goes to Utah to be the new Osterfat.
Rick: Mason Plumlee is the
new designated big-man stiff for the Nets now that Kris Humphries is going to
be gone.
Rick: Indiana takes Solomon Hill, a four-year senior.
#ThePacersBeingThePacers
Rick: UTEP 2-Step Jr. goes to
the Knicks.
Rick: Andre Roberson to Denver -- en route to Golden State?
Jason: With two picks
remaining (assuming they haven't traded them) I want Jamaal Franklin. Just
throwing it out there
Rick: Rudy Go-Bear to Denver!
Chris: Jason and me agreeing
on a pic! Give me Franklin!
Rick: Franklin over Cooper? #Travishamockery
Rick: Archie Goodwin rounds
out OKC's post-hype bench crew with Perry Jones 3 and Jeremy Lamb.
Chris: Cooper at 33.
Rick: IT OFFICIAL! Pierce and
KG going to Brooklyn. #WhatAGreatDealIfThisWere2003Not2013
Chris: Crabbe! Well he can
shoot.
Rick: I think they're gonna
trade him just to troll me.
Chris: Well, the Cavs can go Franklin or Cooper and I would be happy at 33.
Chris: Felix. Huh.
Rick: Tony Mitchell with an
excellent value pick to Detroit.

June FDH Lounge News Nuggets
By Rick Morris
We’re adapting a segment that
we have used on our show repeatedly in order to try to highlight some of the
more intriguing news headlines going today.
We have also posted links here for geopolitical headlines in the past
and we’ll work this into this theme.
Much like The FDH Lounge itself, we’ll try to keep it broad-based as far
as what is catching our eye.
^ From
Politico, religious conservatives are fearful of a sellout on pro-life
principles by the GOP.
^ From
the Sydney Morning Herald, how Australia’s Prime Minister not only risks losing
her party’s majority this year, but how she may be replaced before then by a
prior prime minister from her party – the man she herself deposed.
History Intrigue for June
By Rick Morris
Welcome to our ninth version
of this new feature in The FDH Lounge, entitled History Intrigue. We’re going to be flagging
interesting-looking tidbits of a historical level. While part of this is just going to come from
general web surfing, many links each time are courtesy of Real Clear History, who does a
great job aggregating for this topic just like all the others in the Real Clear
brand.
We always work to be class
acts in our own aggregation, so we’ll always give a mention of the site involved
in the link.
