    Since I saw the actual drawing from last years draft I no longer buy the conspiracy angle but if Boston or LA win tonight...I'll renew my faith.

    I don't believe in the conspiracy theories at all. I know the mathematical odds show low likelihood, but its not markedly unusual for a 5 or 6 to move to the top 3. Certainly not unusual enough for me to start stomping my foot and screaming "conspiracy!"

    Depending what the Blazers do in free agency I think Glen Rice Jr. might be a good fit for the Blazers for the backup SF spot.

    Would you guys trade Batum and CJ for the Lakers pick and Nash?

    I wouldn't be upset if they did that trade. I like Nic, but I'm kind of tired of waiting for him to be consistently aggressive.

    I just have this feeling that the Jazz will win it.

    Nash is toast, ever since he ran into Damian he's never been the same.

    BGD said something that I agree with? Oh crap--I need to go back to bed.

    In all seriousness though, I would love it if we somehow got into the draft and picked up GR3. I was hoping we would get him at 10 last year before he decided to stay back another year.

    I have a feeling that wherever Parker is slated to go the Jazz will get that spot.

    Ooh. Tough one. Great question. For me it would have to be for the right player.

    I hope it goes bad for the WC.

    #1 - Bucks
    #2 - 76ers
    #3 - Magic
    #4 - Celtics (Jazz fall)

    I really hope the Lakers dont get in the top 3!!

    If I could get Exum to be Damian's backcourt mate for the future I would do it. It wouldn't hurt if I also knew I could convince Deng to take the MLE.

    Ya, Exum or Wiggins would be the guys. Then this team should be able to convince a quality NBA SF to sign with them

    CJ, but not Batum.

    I think CJ is an undersized 2 guard with no real future in the league.
