Yes, because it's been all of two years since Minnesota traded its draft pick to a team in the division. Or did you forget the Roy-Foye deal since Minnesota clearly got the short end of that stick?

My butt still hurts.

[Argyle]

Any thoughts on what it would take to trade up from #4 to #3, so we can guarantee Mayo? (I don't know what Argyle's problem with Mayo is; the guy is going to be a star in this league, and is a much better bet than Bayless or Lopez.)

Mayo = Bassy Telfair

Not so much in game, but in maturity level and potential for long term bust because of personality and lack of professionalism.

I would have agreed with you Argyle at this time last year. However, watching how OJ Mayo matured with his team and turned into a part of the offense and not the only part, I'll have to respectfully disagree.

[Ex-hippie]

^This. I was impressed by the level of maturity that Mayo demonstrated as a freshman. I still think there are some lingering character issues from his relationship with an agent/runner at USC, but on the court he's conducted himself well.

I know some people mentioned Courtney Lee, CDR, Batum, and Westbrook.

We probably wouldn't use the 4th pick on them, but I'd like to see a couple of those guys in our backcourt.

OJ Mayo is going to be a fricking beats, please pick him.!!

what are your guys' feelings about mario chalmers with the 24th or using a 2nd rounder on him?
