This. We need Redick though! Then four more white guys, preferably a SG, PF, SF & G/F.

Rubio/Ridnour/Barea
Redick/
Budinger/Hummel
Love/
Pekovic/Milicic/Miller

Ironic because I'd actually love adding Redick.

Was he ever drafted?

I discovered something rather shocking. Most of you are probably experts in smiles by now. Well, I noticed a distinct difference between these two pictures. Compare the distance between himself and the guards, examine his posture, and most importantly look into his smile. How could I have been so blind?

What to do with Williams?

Really don't understand Adleman's racism. I mean his hands are Black for God's sake!

That stupid glitch always reminded me of that one Futurama episode. :lol:

I really hate the "superstar trade demand" era of the NBA. I feel like even though there is a ton of rumors, nothing happens because everyone is holding their breath on Bron, Melo, CP3, and now Dwight and Deron.

I get that there was plenty of value in this draft, but perhaps many other teams felt the same way? Maybe this was an odd year where you couldn't just throw in a few million and a future pick to nab a prospect you liked late?

Either way, I don't fault the FO. Our draft pick was Chase Budinger, a solid acquisition. If I'm being blunt, Kahn can't draft and Adelman doesn't usually play rookies, so I don't see how acquiring a guy Adelmen will actually play AND has proven that he can at least play a little bit hurts us.

I'm glad we didn't go Euro stash at the end. We get a look at a player who might bounce back. I might be wrong, but doesn't Perdue sort of use a system close to Adelmans? I think Hummel was a good gamble that late.

It's unfortunate that our division got so many promising young guys while we didn't get any, but we have plenty of cap room to get a decent starter....I'm just hoping we can entice someone better than Jamal Crawford to come over (Crawford is my worst case scenario). It'll also be nice that this team isn't getting YOUNGER for a change.

Jon Kraw says our trade up target was Mils Plumlee

Actually I was relieved that Portland picked Lillard / Leonard when they could have taken Drummond / J. Lamb.

Phil Jackson was onto something in regards of Adelman.

Come to think of it, Kings' teams of early 00s were pretty white too. Divac, Miller, Peja, J-Will, Bibby, Pollard.

T-Ross at pick 8 was....unexpected.

So what's the 411 on Brandon Roy?

I wonder if that means the team has a leaking problem. It doesn't seem really isn't that much of an issue now, but Kahn tried to keep it a secret at the press conference.

Kahn only said the Timberwolves had interest in Brandon Roy.

I have a friend who rips on me for being racist. You know, racist since I'm a Wolves fan...Here's the text (paraphrased) I received from him a few days ago.

"Minnys gonna take Rivers at 18 so nobody gets suspicious"

If you didn't figure out, think about the school Rivers played for

Yep, picking another white guy wouldn't look suspicious when you're already accused of being racist.
