Sounds like a lot of people are saying both Alec Burks and Kemba Walker might be there for us at 17. Who do we take if Vucevic is not there? WHo do we take if all 3 are there?

I've seen a few comments about Kemba Walker dropping. I'm trying my hardest not to get my hopes up, because I know he will be gone...but if Kemba is somehow still on the board, it is an absolute steal for the Knicks. No brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Does Cleveland take Irving at no.1? Or do the Lakers waive Bynum and Perhaps Irving becomes the Lakes new face until Dwight goes west?

Too many Laker rumors to ignore.......where there is smoke.......

The Lakers won't be doing much of anything unless they package some of their second rounders together to move up into the first round. There's a lot of rumors, but they have a really good team as constructed and they don't need to make any major trades.

If only we could trade the pick and filler for OJ Mayo. Let him get tutored by Billups for a year.

I don't know.....I think I'd rather have Kemba than OJ to tutor under Billup and learn to be a PG.

OJ Mayo is a big guard who is similar to Billups in style of play. I think Mayo's issue this last season was he bulked up to guard SG's since Lionel Hollins basically told him he was playing SG indefinitely.

The guy is very athletic and is a great passer. Lucky for us he doesnt fit with what Memphis is trying to do.

Isn't Kemba like 6'1" or something? Kind of short, even for a PG. But yes, I'd be amazed if he falls to us, and delighted.

OJ Mayo played a whooping 2 summer league games at PG. Come on now.

Mayo would be great under Billups for a year and be our lead guard.

Hearing Bobcats-Bucks-Kings deal includes Bucks get Beno Udrih and the No. 9 and 19 picks Bobcats.

The Bobcats get No. 7 pick from Sac. & Maggette. Kings will get John Salmons and the No. 10 pick.
3 minutes ago

Bucks will also get Stephen Jackson

Not sure if I've ever seen 3 lotto picks get shuffled around like that. Not that it really impacts the grand scheme of things.

Bucks arent playing. They trying to win now. Dumped Salmons and Maggette. Hammond does not play around.

They address their need for a backup PG, SG, and dumped Maggette.

But what are they trying to win? Even after this trade, they'd probably be lucky to be as good as Atlanta the last few years; definitely not a title contender

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

Sadly it's about keeping fans interested. Odd that they got 2 backup PG's. Maybe they look to play Jennings off the ball for a few minutes each night.

Regardless Jackson > Salmons or Maggette
