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!

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.
