Mine is right and yours is wrong.

[spinedoc]

Here is mine that I posted in the other thread, with edits as deals get done now, and they are starting to mount up.

1.Chi - Rose (pg)- Too easy
2.Minny - Beasely (pf)- I sense a trade here either before the draft or shortly after.
3.Mia - Mayo(sg/pg)- This is the guy that they really want, but don't want to pick him at #2, and will keep Haslem and Marion.
4.Sea - Bayless(pg)- They really need a pg.
5.Mem - Love(pf)- Ok, he doesn't slip, but he probably should.
6.N.Y. - Westbrook(pg)- I think he got a promise here.
7.Clips - Gordon(sg)- Their new undersized sg to replace Cat.
8.Mil - Alexander(sf)- Can't pass on his athleticism.
9.Char - B.Lopez(c) - Best big man on the board at this point, do they want both PEZ brothers?
10.N.J. - Gallinari(sf)- Jefferson may be a Laker soon. Nice pairing with Odom possibly?
11.Ind - Randolph(pf)- Don't need a point anymore.
12.Sac - Augustin(pg)- Couldn't be happier about the Ind/Tor trade, their pg falls in their lap.
13.Por - Rush(sg/sf)- Already have their frontcourt set. Outlaw may get traded, but still would be a nice rotation of Roy/Rush/Webster/Outlaw. Por is the wild card of this draft.
14.GS - Arthur(pf)- Need a lot of things and he's the BPA. Plus Wright may be a bust.
15.Pho - Jordan(c)- Their center of the future. Will look good next to Amare.
16.Phi - McGee(pf/c)- Need a big man and he's the best on the board.
17.Ind - Hibbert(c)- JO's replacement, they hope.
18.Was - D.Green(sf)- BPA
19.Cle - Koufos(c)- I agree, in the mold of Z.
20.Char - R.Lopez(pf)- Wonder twins activate. Form of an over-hyped frontcourt.
21.N.J. - Speights(pf)- They need a big man, motivation problems won't sway them.
22.Orl - Lee(sg)- Looks like Otis gets his guy after all.
23.Utah - J.Thompson(pf/c)- They can now keep AK47 at sf with a frontcourt of Memo/Carlos/Millsap/Jason/and Jarron.
24.Sea - Ajinca(pf)- Agreed, a Wicox replacement, eventually.
25.Hou - CDR(sg)- They need another wing.
26.S.A. - Batum(sg/sf)- Get a talent that slips hard, and they can afford to wait on him.
27.Por.. - Chalmers(pg)- Trade, Jack on the move?.
28.Mem. - B.Walker(sg)- The Pistons won't be happy about this one.
29.Det - R.Anderson(pf)- They keep stockpiling big men, but this one can shoot.
30.Bos - Ibaka(pf)- BPA and replacement for the PJ rental.

there is any interesting mock draft I think everyone should checkout. Its a mock made for fun. the order of the picks are in same order as this years draft, only its a mock draft IF everyone in the NBA were available to draft. Its on SI.com and was done by Chris Mannix. he has us taking Brandon Roy @ #22.

The more Mock's I read, the more "certain" it looks the Magic go for a wing: Lee, CDR, Rush, etc. Is this a smoke screen? There are numerous serviceable bigs likely available at #22. You can't teach height. So .....

Bump? C'mon, nobody else interested in doing this?
