    Yup John Hollinger via Twitter: johnhollinger: Chad Ford just chimed in to pour a bathtub full of cold water on the Amare to Golden State rumors. Most likely, Curry stays in the Bay.

    This is the deadest the NY draft crowd has ever been for a draft.

    I'm actually starting to warm up to these draft picks. I would only hope there is some big guy we can get on the cheap with a late 2nd round pick.

    More action in the Rockets' war room. Their night isn't done yet. Looks like it could be a 3-player draft for Houston tonight.

    I bet it's another stash pick. Remember last year when we bought a really late 2nd rounder (56 or 58 I think) for Maarty Luenen. I bet it'll be that kind of pickup.

    There is a God. From Yahoo sports:

    Pistons trading Budinger to Rockets for future second and cash. Budinger was considered to go in the 20s at one point, but questions about his physicality dropped him. Still, he has a good set of skills.

    It seems that it's not done yet...according to Jason.

    I'm surprised Chase Budinger fell this far.

    Sweet Jesus, have we become the new Portland?

    3 picks bought outright from crappy GMs.

    Morey is a shopaholic tonight. Somewhere Les' check book must be crying! :rolleyes:

    Man, if he can shoot like Steve PLUS is able to finish at the rim, he's a huge steal.

    I wonder what the future holds for Von and Tracy now.

    Is Von not going to sign with us?

    Does getting two unproven shooting guards make McGrady somewhat more expendable?

    can we finagle Amare without letting go of Brooks?
