in a crapshoot draft like this, it isn't that big of a deal to take a risk on a potential 7-footer.
1st free agent signings, then trades, otherwise we could lose some of our precious cap space!
We've made the risks of drafting a 1st round pick almost zero. If #15 is a bust this year, he's an expiring with favorable contract terms in a trade next year.
I either want a high potential player or a player ready to play now. No guys that need to be groomed just to be backups.
here's a wild card, on the potential side: Brandon Jennings.
His stock is so low right now that his own agent is pulling him out of the selection show. He could fall to the Pistons at #15.
Now, I've never been a fan of Jennings or Mullins, but that was when they were considered top-5 picks. At #15, all bets are off.
It might allow Bynum to be included in a big man trade.
I'm fine with taking a flier on Mullins. There is such a high potential for busts this year might as well take the risk on a big man.
I wouldn't be surprised if at all if we took Jennings.
well, it was a given that he was a top-10 pick before today. His agent apparently no longer thinks so.
Mullins I think is best-case (%5 chance) Alonzo Mourning. Worst-case (%95 chance), he's darko.
Jennings is a little safer. %25 chance he's Kenny Anderson, %75 chance he's Sebastian Telfair.
Supposedly the Bucks are high on Jennings.
Mullins scouting report is pretty similar to what Andrew Bynum's was (strengths and weaknesses).
Mullins is leaner, more athletic.
His skill set is very similar to Zo, but He's got a gaping hole in his chest where his heart should be.
Mullins should be the 2nd or 3rd guy taken in this draft. That he could slide to #15 says all you need to know about his drive to succeed.
he's a softer version of kaman IMO. in the right situation he could be a real good one. but he looks disinterested at times which is a huge concern, like you say.
very talented though and tons of potential.
Am I the only one that thinks Blake Griffin looks like the dude from Remember The Titans?
According to Stephen Curry, D'antoni values defense.
I'm bored, maybe I should get drunk to make this more fun...
Sacramento drafts penny hardaway part 2 to play PG. Some people never learn.
Rubio fell to #5. Minnesota just committed grand larceny.
Foye and Mike Miller for Rubio.
Even if he's just Jason Willaims, that's a fine pick in this draft.Quote:

Johnny Flynn...WTF?
Did Minnesota just draft TWO point guards at #5 and #6?
hardaway was a damn good player for a time there.
flynn and rubio together? i love flynn. but this combo makes no sense IMO. there has to be a deal coming. right?
it's not like either one is capable of locking down 2 guards either, if they decide to go small.
One of them going to New York for a S/T with David Lee?
he was a damn good SG. At PG he was a liability.
and yeah, this has gotta be a trade.
HA-HA! knicks don't get curry!
knicks could offer the #29 and whoever they take back to GS for curry...?
nah- i think the warriors like his shooting too much for their run-and gun. guys like him are not easy to find and i think they'll keep him.
PGs are the theme, as we all expected. at least 5 more go before the round is done IMO.
You wonder if Curry is going to phoenix in the amare trade...
aha! didn't even think of that. that would make a lot of sense. actually that was the proposal, wasn't it?
wright
biedrins
belinelli
#7
this night could have a couple more big trades left yet! hopefully we can make one......?
whoever they pick, knicks fans will HATE this pick
jordan hill to NYC. and the boos rain down!
good player but.....
mikki moore part II.....?
Derozan is either vince carter or harold miner. I haven't figured him out yet.
shocked evans is still there. i'd take him in a heartbeat. but no way he falls another 5 picks.
my thoughts exactly.Quote:

LMAO- i stepped out for a little while and missed that. my bad. no wonder it didn't seem to make sense.
hey- it's been a long day at the office. clearly...
