what the fuck is portland doing? they're not even drafting to improve the team, i swear they're just trying to draft every conceivable race in an attempt to get them in trouble.

seriously, they should just join the NLSC and start up their own NBA Live dynasty. fucking idiots..

Awww fuck... Rockets trade Gay AND Swift? For Battier? Come On!!! WTF!?!?! sigh... as a Rockets fan, I'm seriously disappointed. Gay and Swift could've gotten better deals from better teams, and they settled on Battier, king of mediocracy. Carroll Dawson you damn fruit, if the Rockets flunk next year, you'd better step up your home security. (N)

Shannon Brown is by far the steal of the draft and I'm not just saying that because I am a Cavs fan.

Sixers trade for Bobby Jones...obviously a publicity stunt by Billy King.

Its cool that Dee and Deron are back on the same team.

Shannon Brown's a great player but I think the steal of the draft is PJ Tucker, that got drafted at #35 by the Toronto Raptors.
Right now, with #45 Indiana picked Alexander Johnson from FSU, and Utah with #46 picked Dee Brown out of Illinois University

Utah drafted not one, not two, but three black players. This has to be a first. I really like what Kevin O'Connor has done tonight - he went out and got the best three players that were on the board.

Everyone knows how high I am on Ronnie Brewer. ;)

Dee Brown AND Deron Willams? I'm lovin' every bit of that. LOVE it.

As for Paul Millsap, I hear he's a good rebounder and even has some mid-range in his game so two thumbs up for O'Connor picking him up.

Utah will flourish next season, can't wait.
