    Funny opening paragraphs. Doesn't even want to write the mock in the first place but is being forced to by the people that pay his salary.

    Veeeerrryy interesting how far he has Drummond sliding.

    Wow. That would be a major plummet for Drummond. Any specific reason for that?

    David Aldridge is on crack

    He seriously thinks Drummond is falling that far, especially since a good center is coveted in this league. The dude is a physical specimen and is athletic as hell. Yeah he's young and needs to mature, but he'll have time to develop. I'd be really surprised if Drummond falls out of the top ten.

    Smoking crack before doing a mock draft is never a good thing...

    There's no way in hell Drummond falls that far unless...

    ... he has some pretty awful baggage that comes to light all of a sudden...

    I agree... the funny part about the mock is the Rockets would pass on him at 14, but take him at 16. No way.

    The most interesting thing about this piece was:

    You think the Rockets might be interested or would they rather save their cash to buy a second rounder or two?
    Remember, Morey is good friends with Chris Wallace and the Grizzlies still owe us for that Battier-Thabeet trade. :p

    They don't really owe us. Rockets got a draft pick from MEM that they packaged to get Motiejunas.

    Ya, that's the end result. We can thank David Kahn for that one.
    I was partly kidding, but I imagine we could have done a little better than the pick we got for Battier from the Grizzlies. Having Thabeet occupy a roster spot also made us lose out on Lin. Not sure if we could have dealt for Camby without Thabeet though.
