    Yeah I think his comments are quite spot on.

    But why would he put Thabeet at #2 when he also pointed out Thabeet "does not operate well in a crowd and he needs some space to be effective"?

    Thabeet is a center and plays in the paint where is always crowded. Who are going to give you space in the paint anyway? And if he cannot be effective, why would you put him at #2?

    Thank you. I don't know why some people use the it doesn't work for most teams argument when it has been proven to be the way you win championships.

    That's right - they made those moves because they felt they were utilising their high draft picks to get better...

    Take the Clippers even - a stack of high picks year on year - they finally make some moves through TRADE and FREE AGENCY and people are taking them seriously this year.

    Morey has a time machine in the works. He acquired all the top talent from that draft so he can put them in a time machine, trade them back then when they were worth something, and boom, profit...

    they drafted Oj Mayo and than traded him for Love with an Antawn Walker contract
