    I know, I know....but I had to put sentiment aside and do what Memphis would do. And I don't think they could've passed up on the thought of gettting both Lopez bros. to play side by side. I see the other guy I was thinking about taking slid all the way to you at #34 (Spieghts)...that would be crazy if Minnesota really got him to help Big Al inside.

    If that happens, Memphis must find a way to get Jarron Collins.

    They would have two sets of twins! Start a promotion of two tickets for the price of one for twins?

    I'm just stating that they are rebuilding and can afford to have a foriegn guy honing his game over seas with two other pick in this draft and another possible three more 1st rounder's next year

    What should we do about all the withdrawals?

    I mean...is there anything we could do, other than starting the draft over again?

    Let's not worry about it, and just continue the mock as if they were still in it.

    The Trailblazers have the 55th pick and I only have one person on my mind.

    We wouldn't have to redo the entire draft. The only two players I can see who were picked in our mock and then withdrew from the draft are the 18th and 19th picks, right? That means there is no need to redo the first 17 picks. After that the teams between the teams at 18 and 19 and the teams that originally picked the players they picked instead would have no reason to change their picks, since the two players on the board who weren't on the board the first time they picked aren't draftable anyway, that's why the teams that originally picked them are dropping them. That means that the only teams we would need to have pick again are the teams at 18 and 19 and the teams that originally picked their next choices, and the teams that originally picked the next choices of those teams, etc.

    Bulls took Kyle Weaver. It may have been worth a flyer on someone with the potential to play C, but with a 2nd round pick, maybe the best that could be had is a Euro prospect/project.

    Weaver looks to me like he can play both guard spots in the NBA, and certainly can give the Bulls some size in their 3 guard set. He can score some, too.

    Hudson withdrew, but you made up for it with a great pick in Hendrix, especially since you took no big men in the first.
