The Sixers did well getting Harkless and Moultrie.

I doubt they don't win a championship now.

If the trade Andre, it will hurt in short term. They still dont have a go to scorer.

wow Marcus Denmon.........I can live with it, beats some Euro who is basically a waste pick. Plus, we might not be able to re-sign Mills....though Denmon is more of a SG than a PG, I believe.

Not to thrilled about my Hawks draft.

If Jenkins is really the elite shooter they talk him up to be, I'll be okay with it.

I really wanted a true center, but it wasn't meant to be. I've never heard of the guy from Virginia we took in the 2nd.

I think the Mavs got a pretty good haul in this draft. Gotta love this guy James, just a class act.

We got a first team all Pac 12 player (Cunningham), and the Big East player of the year (Crowder) who is also first team all Big East.

Oh, you'll love Mike Scott... the most impressive stats he put up were not the 18 points and 8 boards this past season, but rather the 16 points and 10 boards the year before... that year, the Cavs didn't have anything but Mike, and opponents knew it...

He's a little undersized at 6-8, 235-240, but he plays hard, and he plays physical...

I don't really know the Hawks' roster that well, but if they need a banger, this was a terrific pick...

I'm not a big NBA fan so I was wondering how the Mavs did

Lots of rumors circulating about the proposed trade between Minnesota and the Lakers. Originally, that deal was supposedly for a player and the Timberwolve's #2 overall pick, which was supposed to come from the Bobcats in exchange for Derrick Williams. Lakers would send Gasol to Minnesota.

Now it seems that the Timberwolves are still trying to get a deal done with the Lakers. They may be proposing a deal that would send Derrick Williams (2nd ovrall pick in 2011) and Michael Beasley (2nd overall pick in 2009) in exchange for Gasol. I don't know that the Lakers would be interested in this trade or not. The Lakers coveted the 2nd pick because they Wanted Kidd-Gilchrist bad but I don't know about this deal. Certainly something to think about.

I would do that trade in a heart beat. They'd have to add a couple of other players to make the salaries match.

Good to hear. Thanks for the input!!!

as far as our roster, we have 6 players under contract at the moment lol. We can use him! Sounds similar to josh smith size wise.
