    Well, in my opinion, it's either Stuckey or Thaddeus Young... Not sure which at this point.

    I'm with you.

    The thing is, if they have a plan to bring in a SF (Hill? Someone else?) then they'll probably go Stuckey.

    But we don't know what the plan is, do we?

    I suppose that if they think they can play him at center (eventually) that Jason Smith is am option too.

    And then there is Thornton...

    I've thought about Smith as well... And I suppose he is also a possibility.

    But Thornton is just too much in the mold of Maxiell...

    ^It's nice that Nazr is technically our 4th highest paid player right now, with Lindsey 5th.

    And I think you are dead on about Thornton/Maxiell. Too bad that Thornton isn't desirable enough for someone to want to move up and get him. That's where Delfino's salary could have come in handy (if we could have traded Delfino and this pick for a better player).

    so should we make this pick based on who is on the roster as of today? Or do we say, "well if they make this move" or "after getting rid of (insert name of guy you blame), the pick should be......"

    Good question.

    I think you probably need to clarify when you make your pick what assumptions you are making. (i.e. "Chauncey, Amir, Flip and Dice come back, Webber/Davis/Blalock/Dupree do not", for example)

    We've got 3.5 hours, we can discuss it some, but i think it has to come down to being based on what we have now, because that's what we've done with all the other picks. Thornton would be nice, since he's a lottery talent that's slipped, but I also like the idea of grabbing one of the Youngs. Stuckey doesn't sound too bad either, but I don't know much about him and he comes from a small school with lesser competition. Maybe he's a sleeper but maybe he's a bust.
