    Let's get one draft thread for comments and reactions to the actual draft. Forecasting is about to be over. Draft starts in about 15 minutes.

    I'll update the draft as long as I'm online. I've got to go in a little bit.

    1. Toronto- Andrea Bargnani
    2. Portland- Lamarcus Aldridge (from Chicago)
    3. Charlotte- Adam Morrison
    4. Chicago- Tyrus Thomas (from Portland)
    5. Atlanta- Shelden Williams
    6. Minnesota- Brandon Roy
    7. Portland- Randy Foye (from Boston)
    8. Houston- Rudy Gay (We better freaking keep this pick!!!)

    OK, I guess this belongs here...

    From Realgm... ESPN's Andy Katz say there could be a deal between the Bulls and Blazers. The Bulls will select LaMarcus Aldridge at #2 for Portland, while the Blazers take Tyrus Thomas at #4 for the Bulls.

    Glad we've got a thread. My laptop doesn't have the right Java app. for the chatroom and I don't like using IRC or mIRC. I'll just get to boost my post count I guess.

    Wait. I thought that the Blazers were hot for Morrison. If they trade up and take Aldridge instead, that fan base is not going to be happy.

    Hmm. According to Ric Bucher on espn radio, Portland wants to draft Aldridge and Roy. And if Foye goes to Minnesota, then Gay will fall to us. Please let that happen.

    So, the last couple of weeks of waffling by Toronto was just a smokescreen to get a good trade, or do they really have no idea what they're doing?

    Raptors take:

    Andrea Bargnani, Italy.

    So if that Portland/Chicago trade is true, Chicago will take LaMarcus Aldridge, correct?

    Yeah. 4 picks an hour in the NFL makes it unwatchable to me. Cut the time down to 7 and a half minutes would make it so much better to watch.
