    Isiah Thomas is still an idiot.

    Hopefully Toronto takes Bargnani with the 1st pick, because there aren't that many teams that have needs at SG/SF in front of us, so maybe Roy or Gay can fall.

    I say toronto would trade down because there is obviously no reason for them to draft another athletic bigmen since they already have bosh and vanivala, ummmmm does this mean they will work harder to keep mike james?

    I am not sure why you say this in this thread but the Knicks still have 2 first round picks. Chicago's pick might be worse than Ed Curry.

    So if that statement is based on this draft or the Ed Curry trade then I must submit that that notion is not well informed as well as lacking sound rationale.

    well thats the thing, in this draft there is alot of good pfs but like the rest of teh league, no center worth the #1 pick.

    PS does anyone know anything about the guy from europe, Benien or watever his name is.

    Not really, there isn't a huge discrepancy between the 1-4 picks. If anything they'll save some money and not have to spend countless hours deciding between Thomas, Aldridge and Bargnani. A deep draft, not strong at the top.

    With Colangelo as their GM, such a ridiculous trade is completely impossible. Maybe somebody like Rob Babcock would do it, but not Colangelo.

    but look at curry's contract, from that point if i was a GM i would rather have the #2 pick.
