eh I dont know what to think about him

K-Mart reminds me of a less athletic T-Mac in his prime

6 games out of the playoffs.
Should we tank it for a draft pick? Do we even have one this year besides the Knicks pick?

I beleive we have our pick, not sure though if it went to Sacto in the Artest deal. I'd rather have a chance at the lottery and an impact player than a one and done in the POs.

Rockets going down tonight!

I sure hope so, they keep playing like this and we'll be out of the lottery. Who we playing...checks... Boston! Oh crap those old b*****ds? They'll get run out of the gym.

So any thoughts on the draft?

I don't know that there are anything of what we need in this draft. We need size and this isn't the year for it. Probably a euro if I had to guess.

Agreed. Plenty of guards but we have too many of those.
Would you trade AB if #1 pick aka John Wall was ours?

Hard to say, maybe you bring him along slow and see what happens. Or trade back and take Cousins. Not that this will come up, we'll draft like 12 or something.

Morey and his stats

Dwayne Wade if you see this, we're ready for you man.
