overall, a good draft for the nets: 1. brook lopez - this is destiny, brooklyn being his real name...gives us the offensive presence we lack in the post...his defense is acceptable... 2. ryan anderson - good balance for brook, a 'spread four' who can bury it from deep...shoots 40% from 3, 50% from 2 and 80% from the line! 3. cdr - my fav pick...i think gms stayed away from him because he doesn't have a prototypical game but he is most definitely a baller...he is like shawn marion, you don't know how the hell de does it but he gets the job done...can't be counted on as the main man though but played well in derrick rose's shadow...
<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">This is coming in late OJ Mayo traded to Memphis</span> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Minnesota Timberwolves aren't holding onto O.J. Mayo for long. Two league sources told ESPN.com that the Wolves have reached an agreement in principle with the Memphis Grizzlies that will send the draft rights of Mayo, Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner to the Grizzlies in return for the draft rights to Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins. The deal is a blockbuster for both teams. ESPN.com reported on Tuesday that the Wolves GM Kevin McHale was infatuated with Love, but felt that the team had to select Mayo and use him to acquire more assets.</div> <span style="color:#FF0000">Mayo for Love</span>
FYI, we now have 4 bigs from the first round in the last 3 drafts. So that not taking young guys to compete with each other seems... off
Look out Portland is nasty but in a few year...wow...Memphis will be real good. Mike Conley Jr, OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay on the same team...DAMN.

That was an awful trade for Memphis. A pretty bad trade for the wolves, too, but at least they got Miller.
**** yeah, Ryan Anderson! Wooo! Oh yeah, CDR is cool too And all I know is that Brook killed Cal everytime so I'm not too unhappy about him being picked. I'll just say Ryan was picked at 10, CDR at 21, and Brook at 40.
