If we can get that high of a pick, trade for one and buy one--NEXT year we could be a player again with the right combination of moves. the key is bogut, a guy I would say is the best big man since Tim duncan.
add in a guy i like a LOT joey graham with a mid range and find a solid pG who drops[there are plenty of them--or if warwick dove to 26-27-28, I would grab him there for sure. If we have a post Cwho can really score, even a skinny 4 is OK. that would be bad combo Sweetney and hakim IF we can get Bogut. Joey graham--everyone here will love this guy, he is everything that we dont have at the SF. I love ariz, but this kid weighs 225[all muscle] extremly good mid range jumper and slasher who plays above the rim like shawn marion and is the BESr perimeter def in CBB.
Hakim Warwick could drop in this draft at 27 he might be a real steal--7-8 WAY to high of a risk. But number 1 we need to somehow get Bogut.
I know Laydumb would love Bogut and in this case so do I.

the only way we get Bogut is if his stock drops then I'm not sure I'd want him over Petro
only way to get him is a top 3 pick, probably pick 1. the only hope of a drop is named rudy gay daniel gibson chris paul or marvin willimas--so you need top 3.
if we stink enough to be in position 5-6 we have a shot, id rather be there than where were are now. you have to comit to the tank:<) ask the rockets the cavs etc..

the only way that would happen would be if all of a sudden Marbury came up with some mysterious injury and had to sit out the rest of the year. If Marbury plays along with crawford, sweetney, nazr JYD we wont have a top 5 pick

what about if we somehow turn nazr + expiring deals in kwame, chandler, dalembert, etc and the MLE into swift?
would that work also or is getting bogut the only way?
well, you have to rely on another team, i mean maybe, but if you OWN a top 5 pick you are in the game in many ways.
by the way Bogut just killed New Mexico primarily by himself, 25 points 20 rebounds 3 blocks 5 assists
Wow. Bogut sounds phenomenal. We have missed out on Yao, Amare and Lebron. This team needs a kid like Bogut more than ever. I don't know about tanking but if we lose fighting, Bogut would be a sweet reward.
Knicks are happening and have a Unicorn.

we need a frachise big man, we need two years of top 5 picks more than anything else. we need to rebuild the foundation of the team. im probabaly as old or older than 90% of the people here 36 today, i know how long it takes, how long a team can be stuck in medicoreville. you really need to sck for a couple of years and try to get additional high picks and that starts the process. yes i know about the pistons but we blew our 300mm on long term contracts already, how can they afford to do it again without going this route, the rangers did! for the fans who preach patince, well you better settle into losing,, its OK by me IF there is a light at the end of the rainbow, we dont even have a glimmer now. Bogut would be more like a flame, we need him BADLY

Hey Briggs I got a question, I was watching Wake-Cinci today and Eric Williams from Wake had a monster game, dude was a beast out there... What do you know about him?
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers!!!

if we have a high pick, I can guarentee you its going to the Clippers for Elton Brand. If the Knicks fell into the lottery and won say the 3rd pick you will see that sent along w/ TT, cash and Baker for Elton Brand.
