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.

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)

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.

Has anyone seen this?
The Rockets have agreed to trade this pick to the Blazers. While Batum didn’t fare well in John Hollinger’s Euroleague translations, he has tremendous upside as a wing, and the Blazers are intrigued. He has all the tools, but does he have the drive? I spoke with Portland GM Kevin Pritchard tonight and he says he thinks Batum will actually sign with the Blazers this year.

The Blazers have agreed to trade Arthur and the 33rd pick to the Rockets. When the Rockets drafted Batum, I questioned it. He measured out terribly statistically under John Hollinger’s formula and the Rockets are stat geniuses. Lo and behold, they swap the pick for Arthur, whom Hollinger listed as the fifth-best prospect. Yes, teams were worried about a kidney issue. But I’ve talked to two teams, and I’m told it’s not a big deal. He has a chance to be an Antawn Jamison-type player.

YES
absolutely. i used to hate mayo, he was pretty cocky in high school. but then i found out he wears glasses. nobody who wears glasses is cocky, and when they are, its because they have a right to be.
seriously tho, he is perfect. big, can guard any pg, and he can really play SG to broys PG on offense. plus, memphis has the worst gm ever, so we shouldn’t have to give up much

Mayo reminds me of Larry Hughes.
I don’t think he will ever be a pg.

Picks came from Bulls and Clips
Chicago gave us three future 2nd round picks for Asik and the Clips gave us one future 2nd for Taylor.

Blazers really improved
Nate is saying “we really have a balanced roster ” and I agree. Bayless is a real upgrade at guard. The 4th best player in the draft KP says. We have 4 PGs counting Koponen but this gives us time to develop him at D League if necessary. Ike Diogo adds muscle, hustle and hard work at F. Batum will (eventually) add depth at SF where we still have the eventual all-star Martell Webster.
Bayless can play some SG in Summer League while Koponen is the PG or they can switch roles during each game. We are more than 2 deep at every position basically all with quality young guys. Lets let these guys grow together. Year by Year they wll go further in the playoffs. KP and fans just don’t get impatient and try to do something rash.

The Key: Bayless, Bayless, Bayless
Going in = Bs had Jack, #13, $3 million, and 4 second rounders (counting McRoberts).
Coming out = Bayless, Batoum, a European and 4 second rounders.
Net = Bayless, Batoum and the European for Jack, #13, and $3 million.
Verdict = Great if Bayless soars. Lousy if Bayless is just another Jack. All the rest is just speculation of an even greater magnitude.

I got to hand it to the Blazers Brass.....
KP knows how to get things done; I’m a BIG Fan of that boy Westbrook but obiviously so our the Sonics; Getting Bayless as interchangeable 1 2 with Roy then manuvering to pick up Batum is Genius; Bayless is not another Jack by any means; Plus Diagu coming here is our safety net for whatever KP wants to do with Channing. Bayless will put up 18 and 6 helpers in Summer league and should be starting for the squad no later then November; I love how the most experts have Oden at ROY; overall I would go with Beasley as early favorite just becuse of the the Horford type #’s he will put up this year….. But 2 rookies on the all rookie team will feel like 07 again cept we in the playoffs feeling like our Time is NOW. I got a feeling that Channing and Martell could still be on the move; Right now I would still keep Webster at our starting 3 with Outlaw 1st off the bench. I can’t wait til Summer league!!!!!
