56. Seattle Supersonics-- Sasha Kaun 6'11" C, Kansas
57. San Antonio Spurs-- James Gist F, Maryland
58. Los Angeles L*kers-- Yeah...the punks are going to hold the L*kers pick until after all the commercials, huh? I guess there are important teams and not-so-important teams. Like anybody from L.A. is actually watching to see who has a 2.5% chance to be the guy who hauls Kobe's luggage this year. AND STOP ANNOUNCING TRADES THAT NOBODY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT!
Oh, and their pick is Joe Crawford 6'4" G, Kentucky
Oh BLAH, BLAH! Now they're doing the whole "What do the L*kers need to do to get back to the championship?" schtick. GET OUT OF THE SAME CONFERENCE AS THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS, that's what! Next pick please!
59. Detroit Pistons-- Deron Washington 6'6" G, Virginia Tech
60. Boston Celtics-- Semih Erden 7'1" C, Turkey
LATEST NEWS ON THE TRADE: Dorsey and Arthur for Batum.
NOTE: You know what I've learned from commercials? Nobody wants that Heiniken. In fact they'd go a long way out of their way to get rid of it.
ANOTHER TRADE: Portland trades that skanky D-League guy to the Clips for a second-rounder next year.
And that's all folks! Except for the analysis and fallout, of course. I'm going to take a break and then come back with a recap and some thoughts. Thanks for hanging with us.

ESPN on Batum
Chad Ford says:
“Here’s something interesting. John Hollinger, our resident stats guru, expects Nicolas Batum to be a draft bust, according to his Euroleague translations. The Rockets, led by GM Daryl Morey, are considered the most stats-savvy team in the league. Something doesn’t add up. I wonder if there’s a trade here. Batum has some physical talent and some skill, but he’s yet to put it together in any meaningful way.”

Trading Arthur to the Rockets will be sad

From the Batum interview on ESPN draft board:
Mike ((Florida)): Nic, how do you think the Rockets will fare this year? I believe they can be a contender if they just stay healthy, how about you?
Nicolas Batum: Champions. I know it’s a great team. If we play hard, the goal for the team will to become a champion very quickly.
Nicolas Batum: Come to see the Houston Rockets. the next NBA champion.

I had a suspision that we might target him with our 30's picks before the draft
He’s 22 but is rapidly improving and still seems to have a lot of upside left. Put up descent numbers in Euroleague this year.
Hollinger:”Actually, there are two other foreign players that I think might be even better than Gallinari and both are in this draft. Unfortunately, contracts may get in the way of either ever coming to the NBA.
The first is Omer Asik, a Turkish center who played for Fenehrbace Ulker in Istanbul this past season. In 279 Euroleague minutes - granted, a smallish sample - his performance projects to 12.2 points and 13.5 boards per 40 minutes, with 52.3 percent shooting and a 15.23 PER. He blocks shots, too, setting a Euroleague Round of 16 record for rejections this year.
He’s 22, he’s 7-feet tall with a decent frame, and he’s relatively new to the game and still improving. So what’s the hang-up? Apparently he signed a five-year deal to stay in Turkey with no buyout, meaning he might not play in the NBA for a long time. That would be a shame. I have little doubt that Asik should be a lottery pick, but the contract issue may leave him as a mid-second rounder.”
I figure he stays in Europe for a couple years and then takes over the backup center role from Przybilla.

Sac is picking at #42 AND at #43.
I think they should trade the #42 to themselves for the #43 and “cash considerations”.
And film the transaction. That’d be hilarious to watch.

It's not mocking.
Any time a team has back-to-back picks, at any level, in any sport, I think this.
How do you decide which one goes first and which one goes second?
You’re making two picks at once, basically.
It’s just such a weird dynamic.

Because where will he play?
Is he better than Trout/Martell or LMA and Frye?

yes to the first one
he could be a great scorer at SF with above average size – i’ve seen arthur play live and he drove me nuts playing against iowa state (my alma mater…went to UO for two years tho and have been a blazers fan way before – since the brian grant/sabonis years)

ESPN's description of the #46 pick:
“Seattle (from Portland through Boston, Traded to Detroit)”
I can’t stop laughing at that.
The whole draft just makes me giddy and giggly.

who to pick up next at 46
One more trade? or just a player picked up via draft?

is anyone else
feeling a little confused about how things are actually shaking out? something feels a little off to me for some reason.

We got a great point guard, and some foreigners to stash
Makes perfect sense to me.

Amen.
Roster-wise, with Oden and Rudy coming in and The Petter possibly ready,
we added one player (Bayless) and moved two (JJ & McBob).
Roster reduction with five picks in the draft.
Sounds impossible, but KP did it.

Man… I feel so unsure about everything! There hasn’t been one “We have a Trade to Announce”
Freaks me out.

Man I really wish we
would have been able to keep Arthur, he was a steal at 27.

it makes me sad all day if that trade goes through
