what Lebron wants, Lebron gets.

Haha, they're joking about the power of Lebron's twitter account.  This has the making of a Dos Equis commercial - "his tweets have influenced player acquisitions by NBA front offices, retroactively..." ;D 

On another front, we should have signed PJ Hairston during the season.  Sigh.

Players still have to enter draft.

that deal makes no sense for Memphis.  why give up Zach and Mcdermott for 2 rookies?
The trade was with Denver. It's Anthony Randolph.
ah, that makes more sense.  thanks for the clarification

No comments from Ainge on his draft selections yet?

He's probably still working the phones trying to buy a second-round pick.

Even if he played for the Celtics dleague team, Hairston still would go through the draft process.

The Texas Legends are affiliated with the Dallas Mavs. And Dallas had no rights to Hairston.

Bad draft night for Ainge.

Yeah, took the best player available at #6 and a kid who's projected in the lottery dropping at #17 is a bad draft night.

Just because expectations are not met doesnt mean it's a bad night.

I mean, it was probably mostly bad luck, but I feel like we didn't get the guys we wanted, while everyone else seems to have gotten the player they wanted. Maybe I'm wrong though and Ainge really likes Smart and Young.

Dragic and Bogdanovic.  Could be an ICky combo (as in awesome).
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Clippers go for Crawford clone?  Clippers are serious about loading their roster with shooters.

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa

I have to say, I'm really hating all the leaks about who the teams are going to pick in this draft before the pick is actually announced.

Hopeful the Celtics can buy this pick from OKC and get Walter Tavares.  Maybe by taking on Perk's contract for next year.

You know you can just not pay attention and watch it on TV?
