And no Harden in his top 5.

I might pay as much as $10 dollars to hear The Racist GM (I prefer all caps...and that sounds like it could be a great sitcom) try to backpeddle from that statement.

MnWI said it was a good GM.

Too many guards. A SG, combo guard, PG, then a SG and McNeal. Hmmm.

Harden/Holiday would be great. Collison makes no sense if Bassy is still here. I would rather use that spot for a project that needs some euro or NBDL seasoning. Aminu, Norel would be the best option.

Yep, that was probably the worst mock that I've seen all year.

It would sure be nice if we could defer the 28 for a later year, assuming we don't include it in a trade.

Holiday played at Target Center once from what I remember.

I'm just hoping that we get a good player.

We could possibly deal it for a 2nd this year and a first next year from someone who doesn't have a pick, like I think Orlando doesn't have one.

Í'm leaning towards budinger with the #18. Mostly because I don't think Mullens will be there.

You wouldn't prefer one of the 2nd/3rd tier guards like Holliday, Maynor, etc?

I would stay the hell away from him. he looks like a bust to me.

To attract more fans to Target Center they've decided to put out a welcome mat at the front door. It should also help keep the building clean.

#18 - Chase Budinger

I'm not into Budinger, I only like guards and SF athletes that have the ball-handling skill to make full use of their athleticism and Chase looks awkward handling the rock.

Really? I think he's got a nice handle for a player his size. When I watched Arizona I thought he was their most important player this year (not Wise or HIll). Now HIll will probably be a better pro, but Buds has some skills. If he wasn't so damn soft, I think he could be a quality starter. As he is, I think he's a poor man's Mike Miller and is probably best suited as a Kyle Korver shooter type (not quite as good of a shooter as Korver but much better athlete) coming off the bench.

In comparison, Derozan handles the ball like he's dribbling a greased pig. His game right now is purely a couple power dribbles and he either pulls up and shoots over the defender or gets to the rim. With that said, I'd take Derozan at #6 over Evans and Curry (not sure about Harden) because I think his floor is Gerald Wallace and that's a pretty nice floor.
