    Yes they all play a movement off the ball team style of basketball, something I enjoy.

    Of course you were probably trying to make some lame ass attempt at humor about the color of their skin.....which has been beaten to death, and honestly, is not all that funny.

    Now Codell's video from Jib jab, that is funny.

    He's a 27 injury prone player.

    I think you underestimate not only how stupid Kahn is but the predicament he's in. They have too many draft picks and not enough money. The Nets want Wesley Johnson so he's not gonna be around for the Wolves thus leaving Kahn stuck with picking a big (unless, and this will never be the case because, like I said, Kahn's a dope, he picks Paul George, who in a few years will be a top 4 talent looking back on this here draft). But Kahn can't pick a big. He has one too many, including a budding all star in Love who's coming off the bench. So Kahn's going to be DESPERATE. And Morey is to desperate as Paris Hilton is to boner. Dude can smell it a mile away.

    So giving up Martin?
    Naw. He doesn't have to. Ariza, Taylor and the 14th will do just fine for the fourth. Heck, they could probably even jack a second rounder from them too (and get Ryan Thompson... super sleep alert!)

    doesn't help that most of the superstars and stars have the ball in their hands....drawing double and triple teams

    My dream scenario is what you just described.

    So what your saying is Ariza, Jermaine Taylor and the 14th pick is enough to pry away the #4 pick. Im pretty sure there are several teams that could easily beat that offer.

    The Rox move up only if they'll eat enough bad $s. I fear/suspect/assume that the home run swing will have to be a July SnT.

    But, don't go to sleep on Miami for a draft day deal.

    Thanks for your effort DD, but do try to be a little further from camera next time.

    They offered it for Batum.....maybe not a lot is required.

    Exactly. And are we to really say that Wesley Johnson > Trevor Ariza? I don't think so.

    Dakota, great as usual. You need to be on the big tube. Keep it up.

    Swinging for the fences? Used to find this more attractive.

    On the otherhand, no championship team is ever put together without some luck.

    I keep thinking of the Eddie Griffin fiasco.

    I am finding this draft the most interesting in years.

    Great vid as always.

    If Yao makes a strong comeback, I think we should keep Kevin Martin as he compliments Yao perfectly. Martin and Lowry will get us in the bonus, then with Yao's free throw prowess - wow.

    But yes, Martin would be the guy to move if we were going to make a big move for young talent. Most of our other players are either young, or are consummate team players and strong defenders. Martin has some great strengths, and hopefully that will make him strong trade bait should we move him.

    I like Martin, I just think he would be the price to get to number 4.
