THE OFFICIAL BLAZERSEDGE MOCK DRAFT
Here we go! Check this thread throughout the day as Blazersedge versions of NBA GMs select their way through the first round of the 2007 NBA draft. I will e-mail each GM for their selection as their turn comes up. Several BE versions of famous media-types have promised to add comments as well.
1. Portland Trailblazers Greg Oden
2. Seattle Supersonics Kevin Durant
3. Atlanta Hawks Al Horford
4. Memphis Grizzlies Brandan Wright
5. Boston Celtics Yi Jianlian
6. Milwaukee Bucks Corey Brewer
7. Minnesota Timberwolves Jeff Green
8. Charlotte Bobcats Joakim Noah
9. Chicago Bulls Spencer Hawes
10. Sacramento Kings Al Thornton
11. Atlanta Hawks Acie Law
The Philadelphia 76'ers are now on the clock. But wait! The news coverage is breaking in...
BESPN is cutting in to the 2007 draft coverage because we have learned of a trade just executed, and it’s a large one.
The Portland Trailblazers have traded Zach Randolph, Joel Przybilla, and Jarrett Jack to the Philadelphia 76’ers for Andre Miller, Kyle Korver, Steven Hunter and selections #12 and #30 from this year’s draft.
We go to Trailblazers GM Kevin Pritchard for comment.
We should hopefully have comments from Philadelphia GM RockingHarder on the trade soon.
In the meantime…who is KP so excited about? Vote in the comment section of the post just above for who the Blazers will take with the 12th pick. The voting will be open until noon tomorrow.

Procedural question
I'm assuming GMs notify you of our picks by email, right? Do you want analysis, or just the name--analysis and such goes into the comments?

Horford?
Who kidnapped Billy Knight and replaced him with a competent GM? The real Billy Knight would take Josh McRoberts at #3--the best player to come out of Duke since...Shelden Williams.
Cry foul, I do! :)

Accidental competence
Was hard picking between Horford and the Chinese guy. A lot of mock drafts have Atlanta looking at Yin. I ended up erring in favor of someone who made a good showing in the NCAA Tourney and would spark some fan enthusiasm.

How about Al Horton?
Not only can he play both forward positions, for two different universities, but he can hatch eggs too.

Commissioner Dave (as opposed to Commissioner David) would never allow any trade in which the Lakers get better, to occur. This league has principles to uphold, after all.

If the Hawks want to draft Conley at #3, that makes the rest of the lottery that much more valuable.

Taking Yi Jianlian is risky but their fanbase is on the edge of revolting so better go for a HR instead of a base hit.

yes, they have a bunch of wings,
chances are one of these guys (probably green or gomes) will be packaged with theo's contract for size/rebounding, which will open up some PT for the rest.

Personally I think they should take Noah. As long as they resign Gerald. If they decide to let GW walk, then I think they need a SF.
