The T-wolves took 5 guards with their first 5 picks. plain What the heck?

Also, I need to review what happened since I wasn't really focused on the draft most of tonight.


Well it recently came out that Ricky Rubio is going to stay in Spain for a couple more years. I am thinking that they want to trade a guard or two for a solid big man to pair with Al Jefferson. If that's not the case, I don't know what the timberwolves were thinking.

I do like the Lakers trading two of their picks for cash considerations (and a future draft pick), as it's no doubt sign that Kupchak/Buss want to re-sign both Odom and Ariza. As for the pick (Chinemelu Elonu from Texas A&M) the Lakers kept, don't know anything about him, so time will tell.

Yeah, I don't think the Lakers really care about building for the future right now. They know they have a 3-5 year window with Kobe Bryant in his prime and are focused on winning as many championships as they can during that time, which means finding a way to keep Ariza and Odom.

well, Sarver and Steve Kerr have basically ruined the Suns franchise, I have no interest in this team and will no longer have interest in them as long as these two idiots are running the team.

Yao Ming may miss all of next season (and beyond) with that foot injury of his


This is disheartening news..........................no matter what team a guy is on, to hear of a situation like this is always a sad thing.

Definitely would be a huge blow to lose him for the entire season or even possibly career, from the way they're talking now. However, it sounds like this is only a possibility, and not a very likely one at that.

Possible black alternate uni's for the Lakers in the future?


While they look better than those Sunday alternate white uni's (who, despite it being a tribute to Chick Hearn, I don't like), I don't think this is a good idea. There's been too much of a proliferation of alternate jersey's over the past few years here in American sports...............................what's so bad to sticking to one home & away jersey?

Man this Brandon Jennings character the Bucks drafted already is being a problem. He was on some interview and was throwing the N word around like it was cool or something. He said the Bucks should get rid of Sessions and he will start over Luke Rid. JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND PLAY.

Rumors now about the Cavs targeting Ron Artest in free agency. I want Inty's take on this.

No need for Inty's opinion, ESPN is reporting that Artest has signed with the Lakers.

Lakers can have him. I don't think Cleveland really wants him.

Now, if the Cavs can sign Trevor Ariza... that could be significant.

I said during the Rockets/Lakers semi-finals series that I wanted Artest to be a Laker, and I stand by that comment..............................................however, at the price of letting Ariza go? Oye vey! plain
