Kwame is someone you sign for the MLE not trade draft picks for...I agree that bynum ain't going anywhere unless we pay mad dollars but like we never do that.

Here's a little quote from his handlers:

I think our window is closing so our run for the title reasoning will have to be scrutinized and a more developmental approach should be considered.

A more concerning part for me was:

He was saying guaranteed all-star b/c he would get a billion votes from China every year, not b/c of his stats...

Dude....That IS what I'm saying too!! that's why I said Starting for the East.

Have to toot my horn on this one. This was the cat I told everybody about long before he got drafted (thanx to my peeps in NJ).

This may be a good year to nab a rook or two. By all accounts this is a deep draft. For grins, I'll throw out two names. Josh McRoberts and Hasheem Thabeet. Thats assuming we don't need a PG.

I don't think we'll draft a PG unless its a no brainers type.

The chance of getting a quality PG later in the draft are much better than getting solid big (of course there are exceptions)... If we get a chance to draft 6 -15 it should be for a center (yes Darko could end up better than what we end up with)... I'd like to see a 7'er that you can dump it down to and he knows what to do with it... he should also mobile on D.

If we get a late first rounder (maybe mid to late) the guy I want us looking at is Acie Law. He's the point guard for Texas A&M. His shooting numbers were down last year, but he's a great leader, quick with the ball end to end, and an excellent penetrator.

No way knowing what we'll do this early, of course, and if I had to bet I would say we won't have both picks come draft time (either ours or Orlando's will be traded).
