Did you have a dream about this and wake up from it?


Interesting thought- Brackins replaces Collison as the the sweetner for us taking on OK4's contract.

Really depends on how Walsh and MDA feel about OK4, I suppose.

You know what, that is an interesting thought. Donnie couldn't move up to take a 1 outright last night because of cap restriction (or didn't want to - now hearing that Donnie didn't think this draft was deep enough with talent to warrant going after a higher selection -- SAY WHAT OLD MAN????? ), but still nabs one of the 1st rounders he coveted in a forthcoming trade...Hey, maybe man...I tell ya, I slept on it and unfortunately woke up feeling the same damn way --- I just don't feel like we did enough to help ourselves last night....Inactivity, no aggressiveness (I know our hands were pretty much tied but come on man, DO SOMETHING -- they let Hassan Whiteside go to the Kings at 33???, pick 25 just going for cash still stings, WTF-did we purchase Jerome Jordan or not?, why not purchase Darington Hobson why they're at it-they liked him enough, etc..), then the back-to-back double reach for two guys that would've went undrafted...Bad night all around last night guys, I'm sorry. I'm not ready to slit my wrists here, but they really needed to do better...Oh well..Onto the next phase, which is planning the summer league roster (which should've started last night hopefully -- right after the draft concluded, I would've been working the phones with these undrafted players' agents making offers - there are plenty of viable options available, that's for sure).

There were a few guys during the chat last night, Nix & maybe one or two others, that thought that whatever we did last night has no bearing on Lebron & Bosh's decision to come here next week....I couldn't disagree with that more..Maybe if we were already a stacked team like the Lakers or something, sure, but not with this roster we have...We did nothing to help ourselves last night and I really thought we needed to..Don't for one second think these top FAs aren't impressionable -- I mean did you see Kevin Durant's face everytime the Thunder made a pick? He looked excited (except when they picked Quincy Pondexter he looked a little confused but trust me KD, you got a good player with Q-Pon there as well)..Even when interviewed, he spoke intelligently about Cole Aldrich & how he's gonna help make a difference, and he even talked about being on the phone directly with his GM throughout the process...If you think these top FAs looked at what we did last night (or should I say what we didn't do) as some kind of success, think again...It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Lebron & Bosh called each other on the phone last night at some point to say 'Ok, well NY just made this an easy decision for us.' I'm still very dissappointed man.

I've been reading anger and panic all over the web. Until we see what DW actually does to build up the rest of the roster it doesn't seem right to be so down on the moves when they haven't pulled trigger yet on the most important moves.

The draft was dissapointing but we don't know the rest of the story yet. The draft has no bearing on what the final pitch will be. DW and MDA know what they have in mind and until we hear what the moves are it's tough to say good or bad. Like everyone else I hope he pulls a rabbit out of his hat.

I heard the same thing about Walsh getting Rubio after last years draft. We arent getting OK4 and Collison.

My Occam's Razor theory:

Maybe OK4 has horrible trade value so in order to get the payroll down they will trade David West. They already traded Mo Pete(7 million) and could be following it up with West(8 million). Together they would have moved 15 million in salary.

Now they'd still have a center and PG and if they move Chris Paul they could just throw OK4 in because once Chris Paul goes that means rebuild time.

Occam's Razor.
And no, that's not the simplest explanation at all.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Well the simplest solution is they drafted a future replacement for David West.

Thanks for the correction. Sorry about the Batman reference.
