    Thanks, Gerald Wallace, for turning into a lazy a-hole at just the right time!

    There is going to be a difference-maker available at #6. Hopefully the Blazers have the team in place to make the right pick, or right moves.

    Reminds me a little bit of the 2006 draft, and the options available. Difference now is the Blazers already have a legitimate All-Star on the roster.

    I'd be making calls to CHA or WAS to see if they'd be interested in swapping their picks for the #6/#11 picks.

    I don't think I would. Other than Robinson, 2-11 is pretty similar stuff. Beal is rated higher, but I like Lamb at the NBA level more. I'd rather have 6 & 11 than 2 or 3.

    If we get Greg Oden at #6 and Brandon Roy at #11 it would make up for everything!

    I like it. Now New Orleans needs to move to Seattle.

    Wow, if the Nets lose Deron Williams because of this, it'll be pretty much catastrophe. With one bounce of a lottery ball they go from potentially DWill, Dwight Howard, Gerald Wallace and some ring-chasing oldies (Kevin Garnett?) to... none of the above. Now they'll have to keep Brook Lopez and throw money at Mr. Kardashian. Maybe they should just buy CSKA Moscow and relocate them.

    Bullet dodged and the team now has a lot of resources for the rebuild (f**k saying reload when you are in the lottery).

    I felt a little bad for Cho when the Bobcats lost out though.

    Getting the pick was conditional on them staying.

    I am happy having two picks in the lottery. I didn't care where they ended up as long as they were in the top 11. At least it will make the next 30 days more fun. I agree there are no difference makers, but we got the 6th pick in the draft for a player who opted out! That along with picking up the rights to JJ Hickson for nothing, I would have to say that things look better than they did in February.
