I'd like to see where everyone stands right now regarding the #1 pick. Im all for trading the pick and getting an established player. I just feel that there are too many question marks with Ming.
I say trade for Lamar Odom unless we can get something better in return. But I don't see anything better than losing Rice and gaining Lamar Odom and the #8 and #12. Maybe we can get there 1st round pick next year too, since we will not have one after giving ours to the Grizzlies. We are not drafting Jay Williams, a big mistake imo, we have to trade the pick. Yao Ming is not even going to be the 1st pick in the draft and he not saying in the NBA too long(5 years max). Teams that want our #1 pick don't want it for Yao Ming, they want it for Jay Williams. With the #8 and #12 and #15 we can use the picks for role players or even do what we did last year and trade them for a higher pick. I hope we get Nickoloz Tskitishvili, maybe at #12 or get Bostjan Nachbar. We need to get a good European, better yet get both Bostjan Nachbar and Nickoloz Tskitishvili at #8 and #12 and get someone like Frank Williams or Amare Stoudemire(if he is stilll there) at 15.
The front page has a very similar poll up right now that has been voted on by over 4000 people. It looks like the majority still want to draft Ming. http://www.clutchcity.net/poll_results.cfm
