Another good player for where you are drafting, but the fit of your team, I am just not getting it right now.

About time, huh?  Nice pick.

[Evantime34]

Taking offers on the 24th pick, must include an early 4th rounder.

Good pick

I hope that anyone worried about a clogged lane w/ Okafor + Gasol will also concede that each is by far the best big the other has played with and will as such make each better rebounders + defenders since they won't have to do it all.

I disagree. I will make them both worse, and one will get gangrene.

They are leaving the NBA for the Jets?

I'm not sure it will make both of them better rebounders.  I would expect each of their stats to go down in that regard.

Defenders, maybe, although I think they'll struggle against quicker teams.

I'd actually like to see more of Lebron at the 4. He played power forward during the Olympics, with success, and his numbers playing at that position for the '08-'09 season are encouraging.

I like what going on in Dallas. 120 PPG potential but how many points will be given up?

But does Lebron want to? 



And is it the best thing for the long term of the franchise.  His legs will last longer against SF then banging with PFs.

I actually think that Marion at the 3, Smith at the 4 and Murphy at the 5 might work. Marion and smith on the wings for Kidd is nice too. Many teams won't want to play them.

I don't know about that.  Everything on offense is based around Kidd creating the shots for the other guys.  Should be fine against the average team, but the top defensive teams they likely would face in the playoffs, big issues.
