Have you ever thought money isnt everything to these kids? Maybe they enjoy college life? Maybe they enjoy playing for their college team? Maybe they enjoy getting an education? Maybe they have enough confidence in themselves to improve their game and their draft stock? Maybe they dont feel they are NBA ready yet?

I'm convinced. These kids should forget about getting paid millions to do something they love. All that other stuff makes way more sense. Money Shmoney.
 
I just tried the mock draft on ESPN's website and it had us winning the lottery and taking Kyrie Irving at #1 and Jimmer at #12. Both are small guards, but I wouldn't be disappointed at all if that happened. https://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2011/mockdraft

After trying a few more times it seems that we always end up with Jimmer with our own pick, regardless of if it is at 12 or 13. However, they seem to put our top three preferences if we win the lottery as 1st choice Irving, 2nd choice Barnes, 3rd choice Williams. If we don't win the lottery it likes Kanter and if he isn't there then Valanciunas.
 
If we fall to #7 we seem to get Kemba Walker. I really hope we don't end up with Valanciunas. There are likely better players than him in that range and we'd be known as the team that picked a Jonas Brother. How sad
 
So, I just heard that if Washington wins tonight, we are in a three way tie for the 4th worst record. Is this true? (And please say it is, so I can stop dreaming (wrongly so, I guess) of Alec Burks, and dream of a big time player to go with Favors).

If three things happen then yes there will be a 3 way tie for 4td worst record. NewJersey has to lose at Chicago. Sacramento has to lose at home to the Lakers. Washington has to win at Cleveland.
 
I'm sure most people are aware of this, but if you're a Jazz fan tomorrow night you will be wishing for the following:

1. Kings beat LA
2. Bulls beat NJ
3. Suns beat Spurs
4. AK & Ronnie Price are hit by a Trax train while riding their tandem bicycle
5. It will later be discovered that Raja Bell was being pulled in a bike trailer by AK & Ronnie Price that evening
6. When the doctor is asked how the 3 are doing he'll respond, "it doesn't look good"

Give me Jonas V anyday before the midget chucker Walker. Besides, he already has stated how he dreams to play in New York knowing the Knicks have no chance to draft him. Nightmare pick.

Its pretty amazing that you know this. Many have him as the best intl player in the draft. True he could be a dud, but he could end up being the best player in the draft. Certainly top 3.
 
Chad Ford saying Barnes is staying. It's eurobig time me thinks. Kanter, Jonas, or Biyombo. The good thing about drafting the latter two is they can improve their skills overseas while the lockout is going on.
 
Bismack Biyombo has moved up to #7 on Draft Express's Mock Draft, but they have Barnes at #4 meaning Biyombo is really #6 if Barnes stays and Biyombo has moved to #11 on ESPN's Big Board.

I am warming up to the idea that we draft shoud draft Bismack Biyombo at #4, #5, or #6. I know it might be a reach, but I am really intrigued by this guys to tell you the truth I would draft him at #3 unless Irving or Williams was there, that is how weak this draft is/how good Biyombo is.
 
After tonights world game it might be looking like if we want this Biyongoongo kid we'll have to take him with our first lottery pick.

I said this last week. People laughed at me. So......yeah. I just wanted to give myself some props. The rest of you can suck it.
