Oh yeah. It's 1035am and just going to pick my buddy up (coldbyfletch, Magic poster) and crack the first one as soon as we hear the first 'wingspan' in the preview show...

In 1 hour at 4:30 (7:30 EST) you can begin watching the draft:

http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_/channel/espn3#/

Before that you can watch the draft preview comming up in 20 minutes from the same website if you want. That starts at 4:00 (7:00 EST)

Sorry for the ramblings....and edits, fixed it up.

Are we supposed to post our pick critiques in this thread or will their be an official pick(s) thread later?

In my opinion

Terrence Rose = taller Jrich
Jeremy Lamb = Joe Johnson

I really hope we pick Lamb over Ross!!

Jonathan Givony: The hot late name right now is Kendall Marshall. Multiple teams trying to trade up to the mid-first to try and get him according to reports.

Jonathan Givony: From what I'm hearing New Orleans seems to be leaning towards taking a big man at 10 if Rivers is off the board. One of Zeller or Leonard

Jonathan Givony: Portland is putting out serious signs that they might take Waiters over Lillard. Could be smoke, but teams taking it serious. Rivers goes 7?

This thread will do. I will open up a new sticky'd thread once we have made our selection for talk about whoever we pick. :wink:

At this point, I actually wont be disappointed if we draft Marshall.

Remember what they said about Nash when he was drafted?
Marshall might turn out to be a really good point guard.

Here is a good read Jmac..... and more accurate 'label'

Any further political discussion probably should be elsewhere... but in these times, should be encouraged.

Thanks Frank.... very, very accurate, but dare I say, a lot of those tatics look very familiar to me, I wonder why

Very good stuff.

Oh, well, let it happen elsewhere. Not worth 13 either.

Anyone expect a move for another pick to clear a little more cap room tonight? I have a feeling Childress or Channing could be dealt tonight.

On topic: hoping for Lamb & Q. Miller

Sorry, I am a passionate fool. I didn't want to derail the topic either, but I took the bait;, hook, sinker and all. If I was an alligator on Swamp People, I'd be dead meat.... You should see me rebutt my friends about the Suns and the great state of Arizona :lol:

Nope. We already have one of the lower salaries in the NBA, most teams won't have the cap space to want to take on Channing or JChill.

Damn, everytime I see the videos for that Waiters kid, I'm so damn disappointed. This kid's gonna bust so hard in the NBA man....I already feel sorry for whichever team gets him.

Hell, I wish someone would want Frye.

A shout out to Kerrsed for the Sigs and constant bball updates. You really go above and beyond dude; I am glad you are a Suns fan. Kerrsed is like an International twitter account on HGH.

Now enough suck'n up, draft time in a half hour
