The Warriors cannot seriously be considering that trade with Phoenix.
Biedrins, Wright, Belinelli and the 7th pick for Stoudamire? Shoot me if that happens.

Blake Griffin looks like someone awaiting his execution.

I find it amusing when mock drafts have a guy's ceiling as some scrub like Stromile Swift, and they're a projected lottery pick.

A Phoenix poster on the spurstalk board swears the deal between the Warriors and Suns is a done deal. I'm still waiting for a link but he's just a little too happy for it not to be true. We'll see.

That has to be a bittersweet moment for Blake Griffin. On one hand, you are the #1 pick in the draft. On the other hand, you are up there holding a Clippers jersey.

Its honestly not that big of a deal. An older Nash, Richardson and LaFrentz-- I mean Biedrins doesnt scare me at all. 7th pick could be very interesting though.

That's pretty much the case for any draft...

I'm not talking about the Suns side. They rape GS if this deal goes through.
I'm pissed that GS is giving up way too much for Stoudamire.

Wonder if OKC will regret that. Most like Rubio will be good and Harden will be good.

Yeah, as much as I like Rubio, I don't think you can go wrong with a guy like Harden. He seems like a pretty safe pick for me.

Rubio to Minnesota? Steal for them with two picks. Nice. Assuming it happens of course.

I wish there was some way to edit out David Stern's face during the draft...

Okay I was bashing Minnesota for that trade. But if they get Rubio here, I'll say I was wrong on that one.

Rubio in Minnesota just doesn't seem like a fit if that happens...they don't have an identity, is he the face of a franchise?

Memphis (University) has all these great players who can barely speak. How'd they get into college and make passing grades? Oh wait...

Kings made the right choice. They need someone to help now instead of waiting on Rubio to come along.
He'll fit with Minnesota and what they're doing there.

Tyreke Evans at 4 is somewhat of a shock.

04:57 PM: RUMOR: The Magic and Nets have agreed to a trade that will send Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson to Orlando for Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston and Tony Battie, according to Yahoo.
I would have loved Carter here, damn..

Is Minnesota trying to create as many logjams at positions as they can?
They've got two power forwards in Jefferson and Love, and now they just selected two point guards. What is going on in Minnesota?

Yeah Minny has to make a trade now. Why 2 PG's?

Ric Bucher says no dice to a trade. Flynn and Rubio would get abused by any decent SG. Not the Mavs though.

Looks like Minny is getting talent and making them compete, rather than just handing things out. Competition on a team is always a good thing.
It'll be interesting to see if they gain some trade value in the coming years...imagine T-Wolve team competing and then they make a trade in 2012 for a player to get them over the top.
Best of luck to the T-Wolves, must be nice having a volume of picks.
