OFFICIAL DRAFT DAY THREAD
So instead of a game day thread, I felt that this year's draft deserves it's own thread as well...
Not only because of Oden and Durant, but also because of all speculation of so many big name players on the move this offseason (free agency starts on July 1st). Of course, 99% of what we see/hear/read is simply just smoke and mirrors but I'm still excited to see what happens. 2007 NBA Draft Order Round One 1. Portland 2. Seattle 3. Atlanta 4. Memphis 5. Boston 6. Milwaukee 7. Minnesota 8. Charlotte 9. Chicago (from New York) 10. Sacramento 11. Atlanta (from Indiana) 12. Philadelphia 13. New Orleans 14. L.A. Clippers 15. Detroit (from Orlando) 16. Washington 17. New Jersey 18. Golden State 19. L.A. Lakers 20. Miami 21. Philadelphia (from Denver) 22. Charlotte (from Toronto via Cleveland) 23. New York (from Chicago) - (2) 24. Phoenix (from Cleveland via Boston) 25. Utah 26. Houston 27. Detroit 28. San Antonio 29. Phoenix 30. Philadelphia (from Dallas via Golden State and Denver) Round Two 31. Seattle (from Memphis) 32. Boston 33. San Antonio (from Milwaukee) 34. Dallas (from Atlanta) 35. Seattle 36. Golden State (from Minnesota) 37. Portland 38. Philadelphia (from New York via Chicago) 39. Miami (from Sacramento) 40. L.A. Lakers (from Charlotte) 41. Minnesota (from Philadelphia) 42. Portland (from Indiana) 43. New Orleans 44. Orlando 45. L.A. Clippers 46. Golden State (from New Jersey) 47. Washington 48. L.A. Lakers 49. Chicago (from Golden State via Phoenix, Boston and Denver) 50. Dallas (from Miami via L.A. Lakers) 51. Chicago (from Denver) 52. Portland (from Toronto) 53. Portland (from Chicago) 54. Orlando (from Cleveland) 55. Utah 56. Milwaukee (from Houston) 57. Detroit 58. San Antonio 59. Phoenix 60. Dallas Overall No Picks: Cleveland, Denver, Indiana and Toronto 1st Round No Pick: Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Indiana, Orlando and Toronto 1 Pick Other Than Own: Atlanta (Indiana) 2 Picks: Charlotte (Own, Toronto), Detroit (Own, Orlando) 3 Picks: Philadelphia (Own, Dallas, Denver), Phoenix (Own, Atlanta, Cleveland) 2nd Round No Pick: Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Memphis, Miami, New Jersey, New York, Toronto 1 Pick Other Than Own: Minnesota (Philadelphia), Philadelphia (New York or Utah) 2 Picks Other Than Own: Chicago (Denver, Golden State via Phoenix, Boston and Denver), Golden State (Minnesota, New Jersey) 2 Picks: L.A. Lakers (Own, Charlotte), San Antonio (Own, Milwaukee), Seattle (Own, Memphis), Orlando (Own, Cleveland) 3 Picks: Dallas (Own, Atlanta, Miami) 4 Picks: Portland (Own, Chicago, Indiana, Toronto) Go Mavs! MFFL Cuban, do your thing. Donnie, do your thing.

Nice idea, I can't wait to see the draft. Just in case people don't already know the draft is at 6 pm central on ESPN.

I'm really really looking forward to having a sports related event to watch when I get home tonight. I'm so spoiled during hockey and basketball season getting to watch sports every night. The summer sucks.
Tonight will be fun.

ESPNEWS shows Blazers will draft Oden with #1 pick.

I have to say, this is the first time I've been excited about basketball since the Phoenix-San Antonio series. With all the rumors floating around, talented players to choose from, and the fact that Isiah Thomas is still drafting for the Knicks, this should be an entertaining night.

 Why does Oden look like a 57 year old?

there is no question that..that list contains a ton of guards. Looks like the mavs were preparing (maybe they still are) to ship off JET.

30 Teams, 30 Days: Dallas Draft Preview (34th, 50th, 60th)
Authored by Andrew Perna / RealGM.com - June 28, 2007 - 1:04 pm Draft Picks: 34th, 50th, 60th The Mavericks may not have a first round selection, but they should still be able to find a difference maker at the thirty-fourth pick. They’ll likely use their later second round picks to find talent overseas, or acquire players to battle for a roster spot this fall. What they do well During the 2006-2007 regular season the Mavericks rarely did anything wrong, cruising to one of the NBA’s best records of all-time (67-15). Their scoring was more balanced than ever, with guys like Josh Howard and Jason Terry helping Dirk Nowitzki become the League’s 2007 MVP. For the first time in a long time, the Mavericks weren’t considered just an offensive powerhouse – and their trip to the 2006 NBA Finals and subsequent regular season success cemented their evolution as a franchise. Unfortunately for Mark Cuban and company, what took place in the first round showcased the holes they still do have in their roster and game plan. Regardless of who you are, you have to have found it ironic that the Warriors beat the Mavericks at their old-game (the very same game they tried to get away from in order to be considered a legitimate title contender). Where do they need improvement? I’m not saying they don’t have any athletic players, but Dallas might look for a speedy post player to help them adapt to different styles. Dirk is mobile for a big guy, and they have Terry and Devin Harris with wheels in the backcourt, but a seven-footer with quickness and less responsibility on the offense end could help the Mavericks beat teams like Golden State with greater frequency. They could also use a shooter, like most NBA teams these days. Dirk and Terry are natural gunners, but the rest of their starting five lacks spot-up talent. Devin Harris would be an elite point guard in the League if he had more of an offensive game and Josh Howard has improved his jump shot, but it’s still not going to instill fear in the hearts of opponents. Who they should target? With multiple second round choices the Mavericks have the ability to gamble and hope that at least one of their picks has staying power. Their thirty-fourth selection has the potential to have that type of staying power, being just a few minutes shy of first round talent. Whether they look for a big, or a shooter – there will be plenty to choose from in the second round. -Kyrylo Fesenko, Ukraine Fesenko could be the type of seven-footer I was talking about for the Mavericks. He’s not a great defender, but his athletic ability and long arms make for a good start on the NBA level. His offensive game isn’t much, if at all, better than Erick Dampier’s but he’s much more agile. -Sean Williams, Boston College If Williams drops out of the first round, due to his off-court issues, the Mavericks would be wise to snatch him up. If it weren’t for his rap sheet Williams would be a lock for the first round, and maybe even the Lottery, but teams are shying away from guys with “baggage” these days. His defensive abilities would be welcomed on Avery Johnson’s squad. -Aaron Afflalo, UCLA I have no idea why Afflalo would fall into the second round, but more than one credible Draft site has him slipping out of the first round. If he does Dallas should make him their man at the thirty-fourth pick. He’s got talent and experience, which you cannot teach, and would learn a lot from the Mavericks’ current roster. Picks over the past five years Picking Dirk was unquestionably their best draft find, but their more recent picks haven’t been too shabby either. 2006 Maurice Ager, 28th JR Pinnock, 58th 2005 No picks 2004 Devin Harris, 5th Pavel Podkolzine, 21st Vassilis Spanoulis, 51st 2003 Josh Howard, 29th Xue Yuyang, 57th 2002 Mladen Sekularac, 55th 2001 Kyle Hill, 44th Kenny Satterfield, 54th 2000 Etan Thomas, 12th Dan Langhi, 31st Pete Mickeal, 58th What do you think Dallas should hunt for in the second round… Andrew.Perna@RealGM.com |

The Sonics and Celtics have agreed to a trade which will see Ray Allen join Paul Pierce in Boston, while the fifth pick, Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak will be headed to Seattle. The Sonics will take Jeff Green with pick 5, if available.
