Gardens Mock Draft 5/27

[Isiahs Garden]

1.Bulls- D. Rose: Beasley is tempting but Rose is too good to pass up.

2.Heat- M. Beasley: Will help Wade and Marion back into the playoffs.

3.Clippers*- O. Mayo: Will keep OJ in Cali, sell tix, and fit in well with Maggette and Brand.

4.Sonics- D. Jordan: Surprise! Memphis did not give Jordan the top 5 promise. As Seattle still hasn't learned to stop drafting bust bigmen.

5.Grizzlies- B. Lopez: The Grizz get the big they wanted to help replace Pau.

6.Knicks- J. Bayless: Bayless will push the tempo with Nate and Crawford while Curry and Randolph fight over a hotdog on the bench.

7.T'Wolves*- K. Love: McHale fell in Love. Now the Wolves have two highly skilled bigmen.

8.Bucks- A. Randolph: Milwaukee continues to create a logjam at the forward position, as they were not able to pass up Randolphs athleticism and "upside".

9.Bobcats- D. Gallinari: Just missed out on their targetd player in Randolph. The Italian still will help the Bobcats try to become relevant.

10.Nets- D. Arthur: Athletic big man still flying under the radar. Will help NJ from day 1.

11.Pacers- E. Gordon: Keeps Gordon in Indiana, providing a much needed spark at the guard position.

12.Kings- R. Westbrook: Provides Sacremento will help at the guard position immediatley. Teams with Artest as another defensive menace.

13.Blazers- J. Alexander: Adds more talent to this already young and explosive roster.

14.Warriors- J. McGee: GS rolls the dice on a project bigman. Chase Budinger could also be a bit of a surprise pick here.

*Min trades A. Walker and pk #3
Lac trades T. Thomas, B. Knight, and pk #7
Cap relief trade

[DynastyInTheMaking]

Minnesota isnt trading 1 vet for 2.

DeAndre Jordan doesnt have a top 5 promise. Dont believe everything you read.

[5DOM]

new york is another possible option for #3.

[ClipperDomination]

'Toine on our team! Noooooooooooo!

Lac trades T. Thomas, B. Knight, and pk #7
Cap relief trade

Trading an expiring contract (Walker) and the 3rd pick for 2 guys with longer contracts and a worse pick is the exact opposite of what the Wolves want to do.

agreed. But, it is very possible that the Grizzlies have a trade in place and will select Jordan later in the top 10. Most likely though a source close to Jordan started the rumor to up his hype.

LMFAO

so we lose an expiring+trade down for 2 piles of crap?

[dustinzb]

Why exactly is Charlotte drafting a SF, when we have a glaring need at PF. I would switch Gallinari and Arthur

[Isiahs Garden]

Walker doesnt have 3 more years left on his contract? Thomas has 2 more and Knight has 1 more. Is that incorrect?

Not only a glaring need at the PF position, but already with 3 SF's on the roster (Wallace, Dudley, Morrison).

[AQuintus]

Walker doesnt have 3 more years left on his contract? Thomas has 2 more and Knight has 1 more. Is that incorrect?

No, Walker has 1 more year on his contract. He has a team option after this up coming season.

I don't know what site you use for contract info, but you should consider using Shamsports, from what I've seen, it's the best.

[gswhoops]

Just say "NO" to McGee on the Warriors...he's the next POB if I ever saw one...

We'd take Speights with who you've left on the board.

[GswStorm3]

Exactly keep Koufus or McGee away from the Warriors.

[A.J.]

Now way Jordan goes before Lopez.
