Jay Bilas is awesome. Maybe my favorite thing about watching the NBA draft.

Pretty much.

I love that it's always Jim Gray reporting from LA. And why would the Grizz want Swift back? They just let him walk *last* summer.

Hey, 15 posts, keep it down.

God damn mother fucker.

Maybe Marcus Williams will fall to us after all.

Bulls get Viktor Khryapa and future considerations in addition to swapping with Portland.

For those who are late coming in, I'll be updating the opening post as the draft goes on.

Forum Problem

I blame CWM

Yes

We got 'em all now. BTW, the match writers write the drawings of the teams. I explained the format above.

Here's the last mock from Chad Ford 1. Toronto - Andrea Bargani 2. Chicago - Tyrus Thomas 3. Charlotte - Rudy Gay 4. Portland - LaMarcus Aldridge 5. Atlanta - Shelden Williams 6. Minnesota - Adam Morrison 7. Boston - Brandon Roy 8. Houston - Randy Foye 9. Golden State - Ronnie Brewer 10. Seattle - Hilton Armstrong 11. Orlando - J.J. Redick 12. NO/OK - Patrick O'Bryant 13. Philadelphia - Cedric Simmons 14. Utah - Mouhamed Saer Sene 15. NO/OK - Rodney Carney 16. Chicago - Thabo Sefolosha 17. Indiana - Marcus Williams 18. Washington - Olexsiy Pecherov 19. Sacramento - Alexander Johnson 20. New York - Shawne Williams 21. Phoenix - Shannon Brown 22. New Jersey - Rajon Rondo 23. New Jersey - Qunicy Douby 24. Memphis - Kyle Lowry 25. Cleveland - Jordan Farmar 26. LA Lakers - James White (SG/6-7/202/23/Cincinnati) 27. Phoenix - Sergio Rodriguez 28. Dallas - Maurice Ager 29. New York - Guillermo Diaz 30. Portland - Solomon Jones (C/6-10/224/21/S. Florida) It doesn't look like Portland's hedging their bets on Przybilla coming back, based on all the mocks I've seen.

Fuck that noise. I wouldn't mind seeing Peja back, but not for the max. I'd rather have someone who's not going to cost us a playoff series because of a "sore knee." Plus, he played with Mitch Richmond in Sacto, so he's got to be getting up there in age, too.

Oh man, someone I forgot all about was Gerry McNamara. InsideHoops has him projected as a late 2nd round pick. Hopefully Marco Killingsworth can sneak in. That would be back-to-back years that IU players were drafted after being shut out in '03 and '04. Let's get another streak going, guys!

Not everyone has Insider, so if you can, please post it. Whoops. Here it is 1. Toronto - Greg Oden (C/7-0/245/18/Lawrence North HS (IN)) 2. Chicago - Joakim Noah (PF/6-11/230/21/Florida) 3. Charlotte - Kevin Durant (SF/6-10/190/19/Montrose Christian HS (MD)) 4. Portland - Adam Morrison 5. Atlanta - LaMarcus Aldridge 6. Minnesota - Josh McRoberts (PF/6-10/230/19/Duke) 7. Boston - Andrea Bargani 8. Houston - Brandon Roy 9. Golden State - Rudy Gay 10. Seattle - Tyrus Thomas 11. Orlando - Thaddeus Young (SF/6-8/210/18/Mitchell HS (TN)) 12. NO/OK - Al Horford (SF/6-9/235/20/Florida) 13. Philadelphia - Julian Wright (PF/6-9/220/19/Kansas) 14. Utah - Randy Foye 15. NO/OK - Patrick O'Bryant 16. Chicago - Ronnie Brewer 17. Indiana - Cedric Simmons 18. Washington - Spencer Hawes (C/6-11/230/18/Seattle Prep (WA)) 19. Sacramento - Jeff Green (SF/6-8/225/23/Georgetown) 20. New York - Brandan Wright (PF/6-10/210/18/Brentwood Academy (TN)) 21. Phoenix - Yi Jianlian (PF/7-0/230/18/China) 22. New Jersey - Shelden Williams 23. New Jersey - Marcus Williams 24. Memphis - Mouhamed Saer Sene 25. Cleveland - Ronald Steele (PG/6-2/185/21/Arkansas) 26. LA Lakers - Corey Brewer (SF/6-8/185/20/Florida) 27. Phoenix - Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (SF/6-7/215/19/UCLA) 28. Dallas - J.J. Redick 29. New York - Rajon Rondo 30. Portland - Roy Hibbert (C/7-2/283/19/Georgetown)

Chad Ford made a "what if" mock draft...basically if there was no age limit and if certain players had come out (Joakim Noah, Josh McRoberts, etc.), this is how the draft may look. http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2006/i...ockDraft-060627

Figured I'd go with Baltimore since it was the traditional GAB site. Send everything to Tony149.

Latest rumor to come up is Sebastian Telfair to Boston for the #7 and Dan Dickau. I think I take that if I'm Portland.

Is the match I sent you OK? If not, I can see if someone else can write it

I can't figure out if the Millionare pic is supposed to be funny because of the answer, or because the woman appears to have a semi-neckbeard.

Still two or three matches left, pending EWC's reply.

Here's the latest mock from Chad Ford (Position/Ht/Wt/Age/Location) 1. Toronto - Andrea Bargani (PF/7-1/248/20/Italy) 2. Chicago - Tyrus Thomas (PF/6-8/217/19/LSU) 3.

There can be only one option year, and the option year can't be for a lower salary than the previous season. Player Options give the player the right to invoke the option year.
