top few picks are shoe-ins. speculation down the line interests me...suns need to take rivers if hes there at 13, otherwise kendall marshall

celtics have picks 21 and 22, news is they are looking at Royce white almost definitely at 21. i hate this pick...last thing we need is another undersized unathletic 4..hes like 'toine without the playmaking or jumpshot...i like the thought of st bonnies andrew nichols more...hes an athletic 6'11 with potential..

gotta say it though..if Fab Melo is there i will be VERY disappointed if boston doesnt take him. you have two picks back to back..you have some room to take a chance on possibly an andew bynum clone in three years. also with ray thinking about peacing, we gotta take a good look at going after jamal crawford. tony wroten would be a good pickup at 21 or 22 to fill that spot as well, but id rather have nochols and melo as bigs.



sullinger slipping so far that hes not even invited to the draft...Greg Oden 2.0?

*the bobcats fan

but srsly they got fucked. everything i see has them looking MKG, bradley ebal or barnes, but i think they could benifit from trading back to around 6 or 7, picking up a piece in that deal and rafting andre drummond. theyve been such a mess in the frontcourt

agreed...a.rivs got a lot of steph curry in him. wont be a number 1 piece of a franchise, but pair him with a slasher and a block scorer and he will shine. prolly jamal crawford + numbers. he would go really well with gortat in phx or aldridge in rose city

Since the T-pups traded their 18th pick to the rockets for Chase Budinger, it was a boring draft, but I like the trade I think it is going to be much than any pick we would have made.

Cavs are stupid, I wonder who we'll take with the #1 pick next year.

hornets were big. getting rivers at 10 is huge. warriors killed it too.

stoked the celtics got melo..hes worth the reach at 22 with two first round picks..only concern is him taking steamer minutes next year..i know hes got tons more potential but next year steimsma will be a better on floor fit. but 2-3 years out fab melo at 22 will be a huge steal.

celtics killed it in the draft. got exactly what they needed, a solid rebounder in sullinger and a true center in fab melo. also, kris joseph could be a solid bench player for pierce

Thought this could go here... but Ray Allen signed with the Heat. That's going to be a devastating sixth man with nothing but tre after tre. Kind of disappointing the Celts were going to offer 12 mil, he went for the 3 in Miami in hopes for another ring.
