    Who Do You Want Your NBA Team To Draft Tonight

    As a Bobcats fan they pick 9th and 19th, they have sucked at drafting in the past just hoping the pick someone that can actually contribute.

    Yea, no kidding. As a Cavs fan, it was a great chance to rebuilt with 2 top 4 picks. Too bad there's nobody worth drafting. Can you imagine 2 top picks in the Lebron Wade draft?

    Blazers, Hopefully a trade for an elite Point Guard, or if we use the pickm some front line depth. Maybe Faried.

    Teams need balance, most already have four or more flashy african american players who don't play defense but can cross you over, dunk, and are fast on the break. The NBA needs far more white/european players to make the game more technical and tighter mechanics. If you get a healthy mix the game becomes more interesting and exciting than having five guys run up and down the court and first team to miss a layup loses like many games now. Basketball right now is like checkers and if you get a good mix of play types involved it will become more like chess flashy and fast but also technical and controlled.

    Mavs- I was looking at this an hour ago, with Chandler Barea Butler Peja and Stevenson all free agents we really just need the best player available. I think that Tobias Harris should fall in this draft and I wouldn't mind snagging him at 26

    True, but there are very few coaches who know how to balance both styles. It starts in HS, goes to college and ends in NBA. The problem most Euros have is while they may be sound fundamentally, they don't have the sheer athleticism of the US players and get exposed as one dimensional spot up shooters. With the game going back to being an up and down sprint led by the new breed of pg's, the Euros are going to have to adapt.

    Don't disagree with any of this. I would like to see an effort made to fuse the styles together though. I think it would be good for the game here and abroad. I can see your point though, not wanting your team being the guniea pig while trying to "get it right".

    Nets fan here...

    Hoping for a 2 guard that actually pans out.. or a PF that will replace Humphries in a year or so. Also need a SF but think that will be addressed in FA or via Trade.

    That is assuming Deron Williams ends up staying with the Nets. So that being said, its imperative to upgrade the team quickly. So I wouldnt be opposed to packaging 27 and 39 I think it is and moving up or trading for a veteran. AK47, Josh Smith, Josh Smith.. all being seriously mentioned.

    Wolves:

    Derrick Williams.
    Would like to trade pick #20+Flynn to move up to get Burks if he is still around in the 12-15 range. Or just deal #20 for a protected pick next year.

    Can you be a bust if your in the weakest draft ever? interesting... as for the rox if bismack is not there at 14... TRADE THAT SHXT... were two deep at every position except C... just need a superstar to run the team/shot blocker and no one except kyrie and bismack have that potential

    I don't know how Bron Bron and Darko would be together, but I'm thinking 3 of the top 5 would get you at least as far as the runner-up circle

    Haslem was in that draft too!
