Perfect. More money to re-sign Odom, Ariza, & Brown with. $3M is the maximum that you can sell a pick for, so I'm thrilled that we got that much for the 29th pick in a poor draft.

Once again, well done, Kupchak.

dang, i was hoping it was the rockets getting the pick, we're rumored to be looking to buy a late 1st to early 2nd.

Also rumor has it we're interested in Amare Stoudamire.

rotoworld said the kings were gonna pick either flynn or evans, those being their two top choices
if rubio is there i think you can throw him in to the mix

Naw, article also stated they didnt feel rubio was worth it....

but you never know

Little over 3 and half hours till the draft begins, with the 1st pick being on the clock.

some news/rumors, may be BS or Smokescreen, but Houston is in discussions of trading Battier and Aaron Brooks to Memphis for the #2 pick, and a contract, most likely Jaric.

Also, theree in discussion with Phoenix for Stoudemire. a package could include Tmac, Brooks, Landry, or some picks in 2010 or later.

This all according to ESPN Insider's Chad Ford.

Also, the TWolves and Knicks have talked about a trade where the t'wolves would trade 5 or 6 for 8 and Wilson Chandler, as Knicks view this draft as a 7 player draft, and sitting at 8 they feel they will lose out.
