    Thabeet.

    I eagerly look forward to Aldridge destroying Gasol with his athleticism, no way he can play PF.

    I don't think Memphis has any leverage though, if Rubio flat out refuses to play there. There's still a chance he plays in OKC, so the "Thunder" can take the risk and draft him. Then, they entertain offers, hold out for the highest bidder, and if they don't get any decent deal, they keep him.

    true. But I assume he will want to play somewhere in the nba in the next 5 years (or however long his rights are held) Its a risk, but I play Hardball if I'm Memphis.

    Who does OKC want now? I'd be shocked if it wasn't anyone but Rubio..

    Re: NBA Draft picks thread

    Another thing in OKC's favor is that nobody has any idea what they're going to do. Presti has done a great job in keeping everyone in the dark. Maybe they take him because they really think he's BPA, maybe just to try and trade him.

    I see where you're coming from though, especially since Thabeet isn't that great a pick. There's about a 95% chance that there will be better players drafted after him.
