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.

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.

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.

all i know is that he was more awful than TD in Summer League playing PG.

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

Bucks get Beno, Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston & 19. Bobcats get pick 7 & Maggette. Kings get 10 & John Salmons.
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.
