[Martti.]

I'll post a video as soon as it's done processing what Shannon Brown did to LeBron. This was nothing compared to that.

[Valor]

dammit man, hoping for a comeback for the ages from the City of Angels, probably not likely though

Stop making Lebron "seem" like the hero with the pics!!

[Martti.]

This should help a bit :

This is definitely not the LeBron from RL. Even without Dwyane Wade, you guys are still going strong thanks to LeBron and the role players.

Stop making Lebron "seem" like the hero with the pics!!

But he is the hero! He's putting an end to the Lakers' reign of terror!

[Bucket]

Love thee video Nice win, I hope Lakers can win one more...

[KidJustin]

Wizards strike gold again, get top pick



Coming in with the second best odds, the lottery balls bounced in the Wizards' favor and they will choose #1 overall for the second straight season.

The Grizzlies got even luckier, as they jumped up from the 10th spot to #2. Rudy Gay was present and was really happy with the result, saying that this will definitely help the Grizzlies make the Playoffs much sooner.

The Clippers fell from #3 to #5 and the Kings fell from #1 to #4. DeMarcus Cousins said he and the Kings are disappointed with the result, as the team is in a bad situation and possibly on the move to Anaheim.

The HEAT, who are battling the Lakers in the NBA Finals, got the 13th pick via a mid-season trade with Chicago.

The top 14 picks shaped out like this :

	1. Washington Wizards
	2. Memphis Grizzlies
	3. Detroit Pistons
	4. Sacramento Kings
	5. Los Angeles Clippers
	6. Minnesota Timberwolves
	7. Toronto Raptors
	8. Phoenix Suns
	9. Philadelphia 76ers
	10. Philadelphia 76ers (via Golden State)
	11. New Jersey Nets
	12. Cleveland Cavaliers
	13. Miami Heat (via Chicago)
	14. Portland Trail Blazers

[Bucket]

Big chance for Sixers to return to playoffs with 9 and 10 pick.
Grizzlies with second?

[George7]

Great chance to finish them off here, though I would like having a game or two more in the series...

Memphis is going to make an even greater young team if they utilize the pick!

Lai impressive in early workouts, Mayberry falls down board



Intriguing international prospect Leo Lai had a very successful workout for the Philadelphia 76ers, who are picking 9th and 10th overall.

The Sixers coach Doug Collins was very impressed with Lai's perimeter game, athleticism and perimeter defense.

Add that to a successful Draft Combine appearance and Lai's stock is sky-rocketing. He has recently scheduled workouts with the Timberwolves and Pistons, who are picking 6th and 3rd overall.

And while his stock is raising, Stephon Mayberry's is dropping. Despite an amazing freshman year at Syracuse, where many thought he was a lock for #1 pick, he performed moderately well at the Combine and the Wizards, who hold the #1 pick, weren't that impressed with him.

The Heat scheduled workouts with Jimmer Fredette, Thierry Tirieux and Brandon Knight and GM Pat Riley said he was impressed with all of them, but is afraid that at #13 they might all be gone. He hasn't ruled out trading up, using the 30th pick.

The Denver Nuggets are also interested in trading up, perhaps trying to land a forward to help them as Carmelo Anthony is expected not to be with the team next year.

[Cruzerr]

LeBrons with a ring. Even weirder, Bosh dropping that many. Still, congratulations.

[Mavs4Life]

[George7]

Oh my bosh! What a game for him! Congrats for the title can't wait for the off season!

[hova-]

Wow, Bosh for 51, pretty sick. Good job to win it all, that Brown on LBJ dunk is sick! Great to see this season finished!

[The X]

I was right, Heat in 5. Congrats on title.

Love the Shannon Brown poster of Lebron. It reminded me of him getting dunked on by Jordan Crawford & how that tape fiasco was the beginning of his downfall

[Valor]

dammit, Lebron James Finals MVP is just revolting to see grats on the title though (if only for Kyle Korver and Dwyane Wade...)

I wouldn't mind the Sixers, provide I start Just hope (out of the lottery teams) I don't go to Detroit, Toronto, Miami, or Cleveland

[Houndy]

Like a Bosh!

[Bucket]

Pussy scored 51 in finals? Wow. And LeBron won Finals MVP
Good job, can't wait for a draft an offseason.

Report : Carmelo Trade on Draft Night



The Denver Nuggets are considering a complete re-build at draft night, sources say.

They have a deal in place to send Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups to the Knicks for Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Raymond Felton. Whether draft picks or more players will be added, remains to be seen.

According to various reports, Carmelo might not be the only Nugget traded, as the Nuggets are trying to trade into the lottery. Free agents JR Smith and Kenyon Martin have both expressed that they'll look for a new contract elsewhere.

House declines player option, becomes UFA



Eddie House has declined his player option for a 2nd season with the HEAT and will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st.

The HEAT won't re-sign Jerry Stackhouse, Carlos Arroyo and Erick Dampier, sources say. Of the three, only Arroyo saw playing time in the Finals, averaging 3.6 minutes.

Eddie House was reportedly 'fed up' with the Heat, despite winning his 2nd championship and playing reserve minutes in the Finals, averaging 3.2 points in 11.4 minutes

Cavaliers impressed with Will Sit



Will Sit had a successful work-out with the Cavaliers and GM Chris Grant and head coach Byron Scott made no secret of the fact, that they will try to get him if he falls to #13.

"He is definitely talented, a very good scorer and he has great all-around skills. He's not the most athletic, but I think he can be a leader one day in this league with his instincts and basketball IQ," said Scott after Sit's workout.

Sit has had work-outs with the 76ers, Suns, Heat and Kings and he has impressed everybody. Sit has worked with a personal trainer for a year in the States and he is drawing a lot of interest of teams, because many GM's and coaches haven't seen him play.

Trading away J.R. Smith for lottery pick ?
I am in draft?

[Justine.]

Congrats on the title man! Bosh was sick with 51 points
