u been MIA lately, what gives?
so u wanted Brooke Lopez at #6?
sorry to say we have no shot at Chris Paul next season unless we get rid of Zach, Curry & Jefferies for expirings now, which is pretty much impossible.

Too much negativity on the brain. Had to get away for awhile. Plus I don't think it's worth arguing over stuff none of us have no control over.
Anyway, I originally wanted Lopez and then changed it to Koufos, who went 23rd. I still say at 7'-1", 19 years old, with great shooting ability, this kid has a lot of potential. I felt the same way about Bynum, who we also passed on.
Brook of course went 10th, across the Hudson and I attribute that to the fact that the media made a big deal out of his last' few practices for NBA coaches/GM's. His brother Robin, who I thought could be better than Brook overall one day, made it all the way down to 15th. Not bad. My fixation was on a center first, because basically we have none and haven't had one since Ewing's departure. I feel we passed on another opportunity here.
As far as forwards? I would have taken Joe Alexander. But I think we made out okay with the Italian kid. Most writers I read, seem to think so.
Good talking to ya again TMS.
I'll never trust this' team again.
