    Could be smoke? Could be fire?

    Drummond might end up the best player in the draft in a couple of years.

    It will really be hard to give our new front office the benefit of the doubt if they take the soup juggler, but I will do it

    of all the years when a KP draft would've been fun to have...

    Maybe Neil can channel his Inner Bill Walsh and do something like the following:

    Crawford+11 for Salmons +5
    Wes to MIN for #18 and Webster's guaranteed-for-only-$1M contract, saving us 6M in cap space.
    If we don't like #5, trade 5 for 7 and 30?

    5/6 or 6/7, 18, 30, 41, 42 and 20+M in cap space

    2 of 3 of Robinson/Drummond/MKG, Ross, Wroten, O'Quinn, Crowder and 20+M in cap space.

    At the point, something like
    Nash?/Wroten/Nolan
    Ross/E-Will/Salmons' Contract
    Batum/MKG/Crowder
    LMA/Hickson/O'Quinn
    Drummond(or Robinson)/Thomas/FA C

    Sounds like the Warriors pick could be had for the #11 -- West wants Zeller.

    It certainly has the potential to be a fun day. Like the picks or not, it should be entertaining

    The 7th pick could be had for the 11th pick?

    John Nash couldn't even screw that up

    I know I am in the extreme minority with the whole stay the hell away from Syracuse players thing, but I am hoping people respect my convictions, if nothing else

    don't get me wrong, there aren't a whole lot of opinions at draft time that I don't respect (except for mocks that have us taking Sullinger at 6). I know I've got absurd man-love for Wroten and MKG and irrational dislikes for Lamb and Waiters.

    It's such a crapshoot that different likes on players is more debate than argument. At least, that's how I see it.

    I like it. I'd then try to see if with 5, 6 and 18, we can package say 6 and 18(better than 4 and 24??) to get to 2 and draft at 5 and 2.

    I do. I would give waiters a chance but syracuse stinks. I remember liking hakim warrick until he became so so inthe nba. Most syracuse players suck.

    Give me the pedigree of ausrin rivers everyday over soup juggler.
