LAC have Shaun livingston which they are very high on and Joe Johnson is ATL's PG...

There is talk that Atlanta will be going after Papaloukas, the Greek point guard for CSKA Moscow who's Europe's best player right now. Might affect the Hawks' draft plans.

I'm not too thrilled with Conley, his father or the connections to the Greg Oden Lovetrain.

I don't know anything about this Papaloukas guy, but if he is good, maybe we should be looking to trade up.

I've heard as many as a dozen guys mentioned as top 5 talent in this draft. People are going to fall.

I would much rather Joe took Javaris Crittenton.

Can livingston walk? There was a reason Atlanta brought in Speedy. They want to take the playmaking responsibilities off of JJ.

Me too, my man. Me too. Stuckey can play, but Javaris could be a STAR...or a total bust. Gotta roll the dice.

I just can't get excited about Mike Conley. To me he's a good guard riding a hot streak into the pros. In three years people are going to pretend they knew better, but right now everyone is riding this guy's jock. And this whole "we can't break up the set" routine with Oden is crap. Be a man and establish your own rep, instead of riding your buddy's coattails.

I don't like saying this, but:

Mike Conley = Mateen Cleaves

as a draft pick.

Say "YES!" to no.

I heard that Oden told Portland that he would love to play with Mike Conley again and the Blazer were thinking about granting his wish by possibly sending Zach and Jerrit Jack to Atlanta for their #3 pick. Altlanta sorely needs a PG, so the question is do they select Conley and trade him to the Blazers or keep him for themselves??
