Source with direct knowledge: Cleveland has made a decision on its pick, 15 minutes before the Cavs are on the clock.

LOL, what's not to like.

I already dislike that forced soothing style of Heather Cox' interviewing.

For me it was the 2006 draft - by far.

The weather was SO nice here that day. I left work a little early and had a couple of beers leading up to the start of the draft. Then when the draft happened and we took Morrison I pounded beers out of pure disgust. Then I held out hope that we would trade him and the more the draft went on and an announcement about us trading Morrison kept not happening I pounded more and more beers.

That ended up being a very drunk night for me.

Stupid Morrison.

Yep. I just knew we were taking rudy gay

He actually referenced the Wolves trade - or did the radio guys present it as an option?

i came on late, but he said something like - if the twolves trade is real, then trade down if len is gone. i dont think he had any more info than we do. but he is a total NBA nerd. he really knows his stuff.

I remember a month or so ago when a caller first brought up the TWolves trade to Haywood, he's loved it ever since.

Touche, but I am doing for free (and re-write things a lot, bad habit, not language related).
