A fantastic bit here from Bill Simmons’ NBA Draft Diary:
8:04 — Picking sixth: the Blazers, thanks to their fleecing of New Jersey in the atrocious-even-as-it-was-happening Gerald Wallace trade. You can only assume this exchange just happened in Brooklyn’s war room.Mikhail Prokhorov: “We’re on the clock; who are we taking sixth?”
Billy King: “Actually, I traded that pick in March for Gerald Wallace.”
Prokhorov: “I thought Gerald Wallace just opted out of his contract?”
King [after a pause]: “He did.”
Prokhorov [in Russian to his bodyguards]: “KILL HIM!!!!”
