Durant would be the pick here, not much debate about that.

The big key for the formation of this roster will be what the Sonics get back (if anything) in a S&T for Lewis. I don't see him returning.

They need bigs (with some experience), but can't pass on Durant.

Seattle selects: Kevin Durant

Id say take Durant, but I feel dumb for not knowing how to post colors...

I will elaborate on my picks after this one, but Durant is again a no brainer. Lewis is a FA and Durant will slide into the staring SF spot nicely.

No brainer here. Kevin Durant is a big time scorer, too bad we won't see him too much on the West coast. I'm sure ESPN Sportscenter will reply it enough for us, though. I'm sure his disappointing workouts caused GMs to do a double take, but there's no way he slips.

Those two early picks in the 2nd round are pretty nice, too (#31 and #35).

You get two nice players with basically 1st round talent, and you don't have to give them 1st round calibre contracts.

i'm sick of hearing this song (requiem of something or other) in sport vids, but here's Durant:
