I'm not sure Sauru, i don't think Randolph is highly desired by most GMs and they've probably been shopping him since they got #1. It's basically Frye for Randolph with Francis thrown in to make it work.

But Oden, Alridge, and Frye...C PF PF?

I'm dying to see what 2nd rounder Zeke picks at 23.

edit: um...does anyone know anything about Wilson Chandler? I've never seen him play.

Gabe Pruitt or Glen Davis IMO.


Jared Dudley at #22?!?!?!

I missed that when my channel broke down.

Who you guys got here for Phoenix?

I'm wondering where Rudy Fernandez is right now, I think they may take him. Splitter or McRoberts maybe?

EDIT: Utah takes Almond, fits what they need perfectly.

I think Houston may take a spin on Nick Fazekas, especially since they traded away Juwon Howard. They need someone to keep defenses honest from triple teaming Yao.

Nah Hammer, Morris Almond was just a perfect fit. I think I had him going to Utah in my mock also.

EDIT: Brooks over Pruitt? Wow.

i think that this draft is gonna be a great new begining for Portland and Boston ...
1) Portland will be a champion in a couple of years ... with their luck and players they will be a big team in the west
2) as for the Celtics ... they did the right thing by tradingd the #5 spot ... they had no use of it ... with Ray Allen, Paul Pearce and maybe a PF or C (if they find one) it may shine over Boston !!!

They have a very good PF/C in Al Jefferson.

They could of taken Yi Jianlian at 5, they got Ray Allen who is still a very good player, but I don't think they can get it done. IMO this trade was done because Paul Pierce wanted a veteran to win now.

J-Rich to Charlotte for the rights to Brandon Wright just announced on ESPN. Very interesting. Hope this gets the bucks G. Wallace now!

Sorry for the double post, but Jason Richardson for Brandan Wright!?

Wow. Brandan would be great in Golden State.

No need for Jason Richardson if your the Bobcats though, at least not over Brandan Wright.

EDIT: Steal for Boston in Pruitt IMO. Great pick.

I'm thinking this might be the catalyst for a Biedrins and #18 to the Bucks for Yi. That rumour has been heavy for the last 2 days.

That would be a huge steal for Milwaukee. If Biedrins was in this draft he would have gone higher then Yi.

I'm shocked at Derrick Byars freefall, and furious the Pacers haven't bought a pick yet.

I'm just laughing at Portland right now. Paul Allen's buying picks left and right and looks like they're stockpiling draft picks like the apocalypse is coming.

I don't know if you are joking or not, but Portland has had one of the best drafts in league history.

FUCKING A.

Brandan Wright is going to Golden State??? UGH. I was looking forward to getting to see him grow and develop in Charlotte, which will only be a few hours away from me when I go to college at UNC.

ugh.

Brandan Wright IMO is an awesome fit for Golden State. They need a back to the basket player and they got him. I don't think Jason Richardson was that much to give up, he's great, but Brandan Wright could be one hell of a player. I just wished he slipped one more spot to the Bulls.

I'm a little worried with Seattle's plan but in saying that if it does work out, they'll be nothing short of amazing. Expecting to see Newley at the 59th or 60th? Not sure hwo it works, but i'd much prefer him take that oportunity than come back to the 36ers. Adelaide bastards stole my home town favourite.
