Hi guy's. I have one ask tonight - but it's a very important one to me:

PLEASE LET THE COMMISH ANNOUNCE THE PICKS AND NO ONE ELSE!!!!!

Don't post tweets of who teams are taking before they are announced or blogs of who teams are taking before they are announced or websites of who teams are taking before they are announced etc.

This is especially important for our board members who are streaming or watching on delay and also following our board. Nothing worse than the pick being posted before its announced.

You don't get a prize for being the first to post who a team is taking. Again, please just leave it up to the Commish.

Thanks.

The Hornets continue to focus on shooters. They are shopping Gerald Henderson and according to sources they offered the 24th pick and Henderson to the Magic for Arron Afflalo. McDermott remains a favorite there, even after his workout was just so-so. Stauskas is another strong possibility, as are Gary Harris and James Young. Payton is the other sleeper here. The Hornets would like some depth at the point guard position behind Kemba Walker.

McGary has been the mystery man of the draft. He's only worked out for one team (Bucks) and hasn't really done anything else. He's healthy now, so what gives? Two theories. The first is that his agent wants him to slide into the second round where he can control the money and number of years McGary signs for. He essentially would push for a one-year deal, let McGary show he's healthy and then try to cash in next year with a much larger contract. The other theory is that a team in the first round promised they'd take him. Charlotte could be that team. Toughness and size are much needed on their front line.

There you go Mr. KnowItAll. Cho read the board and copied our offer. The Magic didn't want Henderson back. The deal was more about cap space, not talent.

That's a damn shame that we have 'starters' that we can't even give away attached to 1st rounders to other teams
