    Hasheem Thabeet.

    They're pretty underserving considering the amount of draft picks they have wasted over the years?

    I really wanted Memphis to get it. It would have been REALLY fun to watch Mayo, Gay & Griffin together to form an amazing young core along with Gasol & Conley.

    Hes already a bust LOL.

    I LOVE the Thunder after this trade though; Wesbrook, Durant, Green, Thabeet. They get a gigantic C to go up against Yao, Oden, Bynum, etc. for the next 10 years. All they need for him to do is play D, rebound, and do the dirty work. Good fit.

    everone is probably thinking the same thing in the nba, poor griffen. what a waste, sounds silly and stupid of me to say but its true, the clippers are never going to be any good, its just the laws of the universe.

    The Clippers need a new, improved look, Griffin gives that to them. I am a KU fan but Griffin always impressed me not only as a player but as a human being. I have confidence that Griffin can make a difference with the Clippers and bring a much needed attitude boost to the Clip Show.

    Clippers wont go anywhere unless they trade either Camby or Randolph. A core of Griffin - Thronton - Baron - Kaman is ok for me. They should get a good 2 - guard in a trade for randolph or camby.

    All OKC needs is a defensive C, not another scorer. When you have too many guys that need the ball, egos tend to clash and you get the Clippers or Warriors. Thabeet is more like a Mutumbo than Ilgauskas IMO.

    I'm hoping that something crazy happens and Griffin some how lands to number two. Dreaming is free right?

    Getting drafted by the Clippers guarantees a career threatening injury. Torn ACL... Torn MCL... Herniated disk... Micro-facture surgery... etc. Mike Dunleavy already said the team is drafting Griffin.

    I think Thabeet has bust written all over his skinny frame. Nenad Kristic is solid at the 5 spot for them already and hopefully Robert Swift can stay healthy for once.

    This is draft is really weak, I'd probably trade the pick or move down.

    Swift is a UFA, though. You think he resigns there?

    I thought they picked up his option? If not I'm not sure what the plans are for him. I think the Thunder should pursue The Birdman though.
