    If he can end up a defensive force like Deke, he'll help them a lot. Plus I think he is probably already better offensively than Deke.

    Griffin
    Rubio

    are sure bets, don't know enough about the rest of them to talk about their games.

    if i were memphis, i'd trade conley and draft Rubio.

    not sure, conley could get better, but as of now, lowry is showing a lot of promise and if he keeps improving that jumpshot, we got ourselves a starting pg.

    They will not get rid of O.J. Mayo.

    He can pay his dues and leave through free agency. He'll have to accept a shorter contract, and less money, but he can do it.

    They won't blow the pick. They will just screw up the development of the player like always...

    The Clippers have to take Griffin who is the only legit future all-star caliber player in this draft at this point. I have my doubts about Rubio.

    I'm just really happy OKC got in the top 3. I love Kevin Durant and now with Thabeet or whoever they pick they are gonna be a force...

    I didn't want to see any part of the Clippers or Memphis in the top 3 though. Clippers are the sh1ttest team in the league and they have absolutely no desire to get better other than trying to get more lotto balls each season to try to get their fans hopes up only to just dump them after their rookie contracts run out...

    and memphis aint gonna spend anything to get good anyways...

    so its kinda a waste...but I like memphis with conley, mayo, and RUDY GAY!!!

    If that happens all of those teams will benefit... besides the Clippers. :rolleyes:

    . Memphis gets a PF for the future to play with Marc Gasol, Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and Mike Conley.

    . OKC gets a guy like a Tyson Chandler that they tried to trade for earlier in the season or a guy we all know, Deke; just a younger version of him.

    . Clippers screw it up again and picks another bust.


    I agree. He would be great for us and he's a hometown boy. I would take him over Camby at this point!

    Good for the Clippers but you can officially consider Blake Griffin cursed.

    Poor Griffin. Whats even sadder is that he doesn't even know what he's heading to.. Before the draft, he stated that he would rather go to a big market like LA or NY than to stay in his hometown where he has been all his life. I would of sticked with OKC if I where him..

    So Griffin might be safe.
