Guess I was wrong about that memo...either that or the Sonics didn't receive it.

Neh, you were probably right...the Sonics are run by morons.

Biggest Draft Winners Thus Far?

1. Portland - wow.
2. Chicago - this was made so on lottery night
3. Orlando - filled a big need late in the draft
4. Miami - obviously got a great talent, but I they could've done better by moving the pick, possibly to Memphis
5. Milwaukee - personally, I like Alexander and think RJ has something left... Williams/Session, Redd/Bell, Jefferson, Alexander, Charlie V, and Bogut is a lot of talent
6. Minnesota - okay, bias here, but Mayo has one of the biggest upsides and makes a lethal outside-in scoring combo with Big Al... and I still like Foye a lot

Bad pick with Ibaka there...

And why do teams like to spoonfeed Portland in the draft? Rush for Bayless? Come on, Larry.

And Batum for 25.

That's the trouble with getting to the end of the round, of the 5 teams before the C's, 3 are really good drafters: Detroit, Portland, and, if they keep it, San Antonio.

CDR is the player I want the most
Then Arthur

I haven't seen Batum play at all.

  • Doc could learn a thing or two from Norman Dale
Come on, Batum...

(I'm assuming Portland or San Antonio will take him)

How would people feel if Danny took Tomic?  Oh no, a big white stiff?

And Wallace likes to screw the C's
