Lakers with Russel as speculated.

Now the next 3 after Okafor are going to be interesting...

How do you feel about that Knicks fans? 7' center draft selections scare the shit out of me.

Figures that Mudiay would fall to 5 to torment me sitting at the 6 here in Sactown... Vlade is going to pick Mario Hezonja, in my guestimation.

I really don't think its a bad pick. Has a lot of upside and I believe he will put in the work!

With the Kings up to select, my work productivity is defying the laws of mathematics and heading into the negative %.

Hang in there, buddy.

The announcers touched on this, and I think they are right. Is he going to be an all-star out of the gate? Probably not... but the Knicks are pretty far off from being a good team. Jackson is a proven basketball mind with 13 titles. He knows what he is doing. If he can project to this young man that he can become the legendary PHIL JACKSON's last great player if he simply does what he says, then this will work out.

The announcer said it best. If you're Phil, why choke up and go for a double? Lean back and try to knock it out of the park. If this kid turns into the next Nowitzki, then it will just be a cherry on top of what was a flawless career of basketball for Jackson. Let this play out. This is also not Phil's first rodeo with foreign players. He did quite well with Kucoc and Gasol. I have a good feeling about this pick.

Ahh, what the fuck. Queue the Cousins trade rumor machine, it's hungry. Fuck you, Vlade.

You're welcome, Denver. Fuck.

Not a happy Kings fan right now.

The issue is that we don't have a 1st round pick next year. So we needed someone that can help us stay out of the lottery again. Everyone agrees Kristaps is 2 years away from being a solid contributor. That's what I don't get. Take Mudiay or Winslow. Both those guys could be on the All-Rookie team.

This is where teams start losing their minds in the draft. IMO not a great pick by the Pistons at #8.

Winslow is sliding. Wondering if there is something going on with him we don't know about.

Any chance Jerian Grant falls to #22 and my beloved Bulls grab him?

Was wondering this also, never thought he would be selected after Frank the Tank.

Great pick up for the Heat, so far the steal in the draft!

So annoyed the Celtics couldn't get the trade up to #9 for Winslow. Came very, very close to completing the trade apparently...
