I’m glad you said something. I was wondering why there is six inches of blank screen under his post. I don’t get YouTube at work.

ENGAGED FOR LAUNCH!! (lasers, fireworks)

Westbrook is way bigger than Green, more athletic, and a better defender.

I wouldn’t sneeze at him. I would cover my mouth with my hand at least.

Taurean is tiny. Westbrook has good size and is an athletic freak. I’d take him.

...to Kazakhstan. At which point she will dump Bill and marry Borat.

I have my doubts about that but it’s definitely possible.

David Cook gets Daughtry’d tonight, and it’s an Archuleta/Syesha final.

God, that would put a capper on an already sucky Idol season.

But it could happen, despite the judges transparent attempts last night to make sure Syesha gets the boot. Especially complaining about “song choice” when two of the songs weren’t picked by her. (I don’t think she’ll do well as a pop star, but she could have a nice career on Broadway with her voice…)

Governer of Kansas, will be the running mate. Want to make a wager Tom?

...if they take Westbrook, then he sucks, and we don’t want him.

If they pass on Westbrook, then no problem.

So no need to ever trade up with the Clippers to keep ‘em from getting the guy you want.

One wonders if the suckitude of Clipper picks is because Elgin Baylor is bad at scouting talent, or because Sterling makes him take players that won’t become good (and therefore expensive).

I do not like that list.

I don’t like it when people would talk about Blazer past draft blunders as if it related to the current franchise, because the management team is 100% different than the people who made the mistakes. But the CLIPPERS, ooh hoo hoo… they still got the same hapless team of Elgin Baylor and their racist owner blundering and flumberin’ around.

Thornton was great for a rookie, though, even if he’s older than Roy is right now. He’ll at least be a pretty good scorer and, right now, a really good pick at #14.

Otherwise, they don’t like to pick the right player and when they do they don’t keep ‘em. Kaman is good, but just like the Hawks if ya draft in the lottery so often you can’t help but luck into SOME good players.

The writer of this article/post likes Westbrook and makes a good argument, but I don’t know if the people actually in charge of the Clippers are likeminded at all. Perhaps Livingston is ready to come back and they don’t want a PG. Just like Minny though, whoever they take prolly won’t be any good just because they were drafted by the Clippers. For example, if KP drafted Brook Lopez, he’ll be sweet. If Mchale drafts him, he’s a top 3 bust like Adam Morrison. It’s out of the player’s hands.

Chris Wilcox was dropped and picked up by me a few times over the fantasy season… he was impossible to predict. He SHOULD be a beast, but just isn’t, except when he is. And on the Sonics, he SHOULDA’ been a guy who put up numbers on a bad team. Except, he didn’t (except when he did). He’s impossible to predict but still only in his mid-20s.

Korolev… he is out of the NBA already, right?

your trade idea for Baron Davis, but I think you are wrong about Westbrook.

What in the world are we going to do with two second round picks? The team is full of young talent so unless we can land someone like Davis or Ellis in a trade I would rather consolidate and take one promising pick from the draft. If we take two guys from the second round they are going to be wasted anyway. It would make the Clippers happy and we could continue to be on good trade terms with them. They need bodies, we don’t. Granted I have no idea how god Rudy will be on defense next year, but I would be willing to bet Westbrook would be our best the best at defending smaller guards.

If we could land a certain PG from warriors I would be twice as happy, but as far as the draft goes Westbrook is obviously our best choice. How much would you give up to get Monte Ellis? He has twice as much offense, half as much defense. I’m not sure Golden State would let him go though.
