Fire at will. Especially you Wolves fans.

1. Chicago Bulls

um we dont have R.Brewer

plus who said mchale sees himself in kevin Love

If the Wolves took Love over Mayo or Lopez, I'd break down in tears.

McHale actual sees two of himselves in Kevin Love.

I'm a big CDR fan but think the Cavs will draft a big man considering the age of their frontcourt and the fact Varejao can opt out next year. Ajinca, Lopez, or McGee could be the pick. Koufas or Speights could also be an option but are already off the board in this mock.

^^ But CDR could also be the scorer who we've been wanting. Robin Lopez will barely be better than Varejao, if that. McGee is a huge project. Don't know much about Ajinca. And as far as others...I'd rather pass on Hibbert, I'd like Speights or Koufos but who knows if they'll be there when we pick. CDR just feels like a sure fire bet for someone who WILL be a good contributor for the Cavs. The Cavs obviously need a big and a scorer, but we only have 1 pick. Maybe we can get a big thru trade or free agency.

There is no way that Budinger slips past the Magic. He fills a desperate need and projects to be a contributor so why pass on him for a guy who will only be playing 10 min a game? At least take a guy like Thompson if you want the Magic to select a big.

JJ Hickson is a POWER FORWARD.
Detroit already has FOUR of those: Rasheed Wallace, Antonio McDyess, Jason Maxiell, and Amir Johnson. ALL of them will be under contract next season, and you want us to take ANOTHER PF?

I wouldn't be *so* upset if you didn't have us passing on Jason Thompson, a C that Joe has scouted, for a guy projected to be the next Brandon Bass.

Hey another Cavs fan ...I still think they would select Lopez or another big and package Varejao with their expirings for a scorer. Too much bad blood between the Cavaliers and Varejao after the nasty holdout last year. It seems inevitable Andy is walking next summer so he's probably going to be traded. I definitely agree they need both a Big and a scorer though.

R Wallace is going to be 34 years old at the start of next season. Same for A McDyess except he's been a shell of the player he was before the injury for some time. T Ratliff is already 35 years old. I just went with the big with the most upside in my opinion. If you think it is J Thompson, I wouldn't necessarily disagree. But are you saying you think Detroit's looking for a wing?

Best, most elequint, smart ass reply I've gotten on the K Love to the Wolves forecast. Well done.

We all know the vast majority of you guys want OJ Mayo... but what about R McCants & C Brewer? What about help for A Jefferson? What's the plan for those areas if it does turn out to be OJ Mayo?

Al Jefferson and Kevin Love at the 4 and 5 is pretty undersized. Rashad McCants shouldn't be a starter in the NBA. He's a rotation player but if he's starting for your team, they're not making the playoffs.

Warriors would take Speights, Arthur, or Batum over Koufos.

At the time I put my mock together it was just my speculation. Apparently my guess might not be too far off...

I don't care how old they are. I care about their contractual statuses. Rasheed will likely be re-signed, and Antonio has two years left. That means that your upside pick wouldn't get to play PF for at least two years.
BUT.
We have Jason Maxiell.
AND
Amir Johnson, who we have put more stock into than anybody not named Rodney Stuckey.

We want a SF or a C. A PF is the last thing we need.

Unless Rose breaks his leg, the Bulls won't pass on him 1st overall. He fits a much bigger need for the Bulls but that's not the point: he has the most potential in this draft to be a true impact player.

where do we play him though????

jefferson will have to play centre

That would be my guess... but I only saw a couple of Wolves games last season.

No Koufus or McGee to the Warriors.

Hell no to Hardin.

We already have a PF and he has 2nd round talent all over him.
