Larry Brown loves UCLA players Westbrook and Love. If they fall to 9, Brown will choose them.

Bobcats are going to take Hibbert at 20, thats the hottest rumor.

ONeal for Ford, Nesterovic and #17 is in the process of happening.

Had Isiah not traded our 2008 second round pick, we would be drafting two players. But I guess the Knicks will just have to settle for one pick, for now. Tomorrow and June 27 is gonna be my last two days on this site, until October, but I'll be checking my private messages on Saturdays. I will post my comments about the draft, after Donnie Walsh selects his pick, tomorrow. I really hope Walsh makes the right decision, in this year's draft, because the Knicks may not have another opportunity to draft a good player, after this draft. The Knicks have a pick that's only 1-23 protected, in 2009, and they completely lost their 2010 first round pick. Walsh needs to take this draft seriously, and he needs to not take this draft for granted. I trust that he will make the right choice, though, because he did draft Danny Granger, in 2005, just recently, and because he drafted Reggie Miller.

With the 6th pick of the 2008 Nba Draft, The New York Knicks select...Russell Westbrook from The University of California at Los Angeles. lol

He WILL be the PG we will come to love 4 da next 10+ yrs

If Donnie picks that European kid then he pisses on all of us and I will stop posting I give you my word I will no longer post, well might not go so far like that but that could help push me over the edge. Too much frustration don't do it Donnie.

If Mayo and Lopez are gone, I wouldn't mind the Big Cock; my first option would be Augustin, then the Big Cock. The Big Cock would fit in nicely wih his ability to penatrate and slit the defense looking for his shot. The Big Cock just knows how to get it in, the basket. He's very underrated, not many people have seen the Big Cock play, but he has the talent, skill, toughness and work ethic to be good. The Big Cock is the truth; > Gordon, Westbrook, Bayless.

Clippers Sonics trade picks for a lottery protected future Clipper 1st rd pick contingent on the Wolves taking Mayo. Clips are expected to take Gordon at 4.

Nets trade R.J. to the Bucks for Yi and Bobby Simmons. Let the Lebron and the free agent class of 2010 sweepstakes begin!

Nets also maybe moving up to get pick #5 with the idea of picking up Love or Gallinari.

I think it is important for everyone to keep this draft in perspective. There are about 2-3 franchise changing players (There may be none). Even so at #6, there is not a chance we will get the player we will want. I know we may want to move up, if Mayo is gone, we should try to move down. I'm not big on Danilo, but if I view this draft has just a small piece to a big puzzle, then I would pick him. But If I were to pick him, I would trade to get another pick and get this kid Augustin.
I think with those 2 guys on the team, it will help. But Z-bo and Steph must be off this team or they have to be put in their places and know that D'Antoni is in charge, and foolishness will be dealt with by cut of PT. Steph is valuable to us whether he plays or not. Last year of contract. If he plays well, we can get picks, if he doesn't play well, he will be very valuable in February cause he's coming off the cap. Worst case scenario, contract expires.

In perspective guys. This draft won't revive us, but it wont set us back. Baby steps. More drafts to come.

yeah because Seattle is thirsty and wants to see if Mayo falls to them, fuck Seattle I hope their franchise burns down
