Telfair to the Blazers. Now they'll get a couple of HSers in the mid 20s, I'd imagine.

Despite the questions over Seattle's pick... I'm loving this draft. Surprises plus...

I really rate the kid, think he will make it, but taking him at 12 was crazy IMO.

Thought he would have been better suited to a team who had the ability and depthto bring him on slowly.

Oh well, could possibly still be a trade.

That's great for the kid. I said i thought he was worthy of a borderline lottery spot, but still didn't expect him to go til the early 20's.

Nah, that is a very, very good pick. Kirilenko can go back to SF, this kid will start from day one. ROTY contender.

 

[St-KriS]

The boston pick. Now this will be interesting...

Fair surprise that. With Araujo gone, i thought Monya would have been a certainly.

Didn't expect Humphries to go til about 17-20.

Pavel continues to slide, as does Jefferson and the two Smith boys.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since they've traded Deshawn, they haven't got once black guy on the roster right?

Half-cast...

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I'd expect Pavel here. With Swift gone, and Blount leaving, they would have to take him, surely.

 

[Borgsta]

Just very surprised by it considering they got pick 16 aswell

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Petrie just reminded me that Jameer Nelson still hasn't gone.

Will be a good pick at 15+

Jarron Collins... Curtis Borchadt?

 

[Borgsta]

Al Jefferson to Boston!

Raja Bell, Jarron Collins, Mikki Moore, Michael Ruffin

Al Jefferson to the Celts.

I have expected them to take Snyder and trade him to us for Swift... but this is an outstanding pick for the Celtics. Give Danny some credit, he (along with Utah) can build a juggernaut with this draft...

With the 15th pick, Boston select

AL JEFFERSON!

Great pick... hes gonna be a stud. Now hopefulyl PP doesnt quote this 1 yr down the line when Al averages Darko numbers

1) Orlando - Dwight Howard
2) Charlotte - Emeka Okafor
3) Chicago - Ben Gordon
4) LA Clippers - Shaun Livington
5) Washington (Dallas) - Devin Harris
6) Atlanta - Josh Childress
7) Pheonix (Chicago) - Luol Deng
8) Toronto - Rafael Araujo
9) Philadelphia - Andre Iguodala
10) Cleveland - Luke Jackson
11) Golden State - Andris Biedrins
12) Seattle - Robert Swift
13) Portland - Sebastian Telfair
14) Utah - Kris Humphries
15) Boston - Al Jefferson



* Bulls keeping both Gordon and Deng according to John Paxson... GOOD

I dont want to sound biased, but Chicago's the clear winner so far.. Deng and Gordon were both considered the #3 player in the draft and we managed both. Deng fell because he didnt want to workout... which cost him a few million...but it worked out for us.

Bah!...Stop proving me wrong!

Nelson could feasibly go to Utah with this pick.

Kirilenko/Humphries is a great forward combo, and Nelson is about the best floorleader entering the league next year...

Monya is obviously the other possibility.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

I'd expect a trade between Boston and Seattle.

Jefferson and change to Seattle for Swift.
