    No, you're thinking of Tyler Zeller. Who went to the Mavs. A well-run franchise.

    Ahem, Zeller went to the Cavs. Not very well run.

    I'd rather have Leonard than Lamb and Sullinger for sure

    The Mavs got three picks for Zeller, so yes they are well run.

    You calling Leonard a "big white stiff" tells me all I need to know about you. If Leonard was black, you'd be drooling over his athleticism and "upside". I take it you've literally not once watched Leonard play.

    Wait. So Leonard is a "white stiff", while Zeller is a good pick?

    You're right. That was unfair. I should've said "Big American Stiff".

    It's a "proposed trade".. But it's pretty much certain Zeller is going to the Cavs.

    DAL picked for CLE in exchange for the 24, 32, 33. CLE wanted Zeller.

    Oh please - they haven't had a good player since Kukoc. Try Spanish.

    Oh, okay. Please tell me we picked Leonard for some other team, too.

    Grgs will be huge for his development.

    I was suspicious about Olshey from the word go, and this draft has me hating him. Both of these players are "shiny toy" kind of players - great measurements/verticals/workouts. You know, like Eric Bledsoe and Deandre Jordan.

    Of course, if he can pull Chris Paul out of his ass, I'll be ready to forgive.

    I am officially more excited about Elliot Williams than either of our first rounders.

    Bledsoe was the 18th pick and has shown flashes and still has great potential. Jordan was the 35th pick and is a solid player.

    I like Leonard but BPA was clearly Harrison Barnes at #6.

    So give him the low picks and let other people make the high picks.

    Actually, I'm not even sure Olshey picked Jordan (before his time)? What he did do was match a ridiculous offer for him.

    You can play with the term "BPA" all you want . . . this draft was dictated by needed positions.

    Everyone knew it before the draft (Blazers are drafting a PG and a big with thier picks) and that is how it played out. Might work out because Blazers really need a PG and a center.
