Guy eavesdrops on Demps dinner conversation (re: draft) and posts info to twitter

[wopester]

Check out his feed here. Basically says if Lillard and Rivers both available at 10, will take Lillard. Questions Rivers ego. Doesn't like Drummond. Talks about Thornton.

I was just about to post this. Betcha Dell won't make the mistake of talking draft specifics in public anymore.

No mention of Terrence Jones

Unless he was throwing smokescreens?

But yeah, I'm not pleased with this.

Interesting. Seems like he's interested in Lillard, Rivers and perhaps Waiters. I wonder who he likes more out of Rivers and Waiters...

[Purple Haze]

Interesting.

[Kurgan]

You gotta wonder why he should make such statements aloud in a public place

Dude get over the whole Jones thing. He's not going before 15 or so.

This guy is a real ******, what are you doing listening to another man's conversation, let alone posting it on twitter. Need attention much?

[Snarly]

I hate the fact that this guy is reaching out to the national media with this info.

[donato]

Well, really Demps didn't say much in regards to who we like that everyone didn't already know or heavily speculate about- with the exception of Drummond who probably won't be available anyway.

[Purple Haze]

I'm not pleased with the eavesdropping.

That he did it or that Dell was talking that loud about it?

Like you wouldn't do the same thing? I'm pleased this guy had enough balls to do it. Dell shouldn't be doing this in public anyway.

Kinda sucks that he doesn't like Drummond. Was hoping he'd fall to us and we'd take him.

Don't act like you wouldn't.

[bustah]

WOW, this ruins the exciting tense part of waiting....I'd rather wait til draft day then find out now

I kind of love that he doesn't. Drummond is freakin moron. We'll see.

[donato]

Don't act like you wouldn't.

I wouldn't. I don't think most people would. Why would YOU?

No i wouldn't, i would listen sure, but i don't have a sick need to get attention that i would tweet every detail and wave my hands in the air trying to get Larry Holder to notice me.

Also what "balls" does it require to to this? If anything eavesdropping then gossiping shows he has gash.

[Snarly]

Don't act like you wouldn't.

I wouldn't. I'd post the tidbit on the forum but I would never actively seek out the national media to provide this info. That not only hurts the team during the draft and if Portland gets their hand on this info, their number 1 choice is in jeopardy.

So before you assume that any true hornets fan would do the same thing, think about the consequences of the action.

Another thing, the info really shows you how high they are on Lillard. They didn't even bring him in for a workout so that really probably means that they really want the kid. They're definitely secretly hoping Portland takes Drummond and Toronto taking a SG. Everything they worked so hard at to throw teams off was pretty much destroyed when the guy went out and seek attention.

You're totally right and I agree. I didn't realize or think enough before I posted that.

I will say though, i don't think this has any effect on the draft, saying "i prefer Lillard over Rivers" isn't anything groundbreaking seeing how Lillard has always been thought of as going before Rivers. Also i'm sure if Drummond fell to #10 Demps would take him.

Exactly. This doesn't change squat imo and is pretty obvious to us.

[Snarly]

Maybe so, but there was a possibility that Portland takes Drummond at 6. Now with the News that the Hornets are not interested in Drummond and Lillard is their #1 guy at 10, the chances of Lillard slipping to 10 just went down even further.
