As a Bulls fan, I am not mad at the Jimmy Butler pick. I think he could turn out to one of the biggest sleepers in this draft. I am amazed at how the Spurs continue to find a way to draft so damn well every fucking year.

Marcus is better, but Markieff is closing the gap. What separates Marcus from Markieff is Marcus' offensive low post skills, which is pretty rare in college basketball. This is the reason why people considered Kansas to be the best team in college basketball, because they were the best team in the half-court. If Markieff could improve on his low post moves, he could be better than Marcus.
Phoenix plays a run-n-gun offense, which is a good fit for Markieff because he's good at hitting trailing 3s. Also, he won't be asked to score in the post as much.
I loved Andre Miller (and Rudy Fernandez), but Raymond Felton is a great young point guard and Andre Miller was beginning to show his age and Rudy Fernandez wasn't very valuable the last two seasons after being a key scorer and shooter off the bench in his rookie season.
P.S. For those of you who know me from the NHL thread, I am a huge Portland Trailblazers fan. I lived in Portland for three years and I fell in love with the team. Brandon Roy is still my favourite player and I know he can make a big comeback next season.

Not a bobcats fan but they added two impact rookies. They first selected Bismack Biyombo. and two picks later grabbed Kemba Walker blood clott!
The two may be the best duo out of any drafted this year and will certainly help turn a struggling franchise around.

This was one of those rare trades that both teams benefit from. Portland gets a great, young PG and Denver gets a veteran backup, who can still score and dish the ball who also plays solid defense.
But I wanted Felton in L.A
Stephen Jackson is a piece of shit.

1998-99 lockout or entire season lockout??
i dont think theyre going to lose the whole season, i think maybe lose games of the season and play an abbreviated season as they did in 99. The two sides are far apart at this time, and theyre going to get serious about talking when they realize what the stakes are.....its the way of lockouts/strikes in sports and thats the way its always been. Keep in mind that recovering from labor disputes is hard for any sport...the NHL still hasnt recovered from losing an entire season not too long ago, Baseball needed til the McGwire/Sosa home run battle to recover from its player strike and even now there are fans who refuse to come back to the game. The NBA cannot afford to miss games at this juncture
One thing NBA players have that NFL players don't is the option of making half decent money in a half decent league.
Not sure, but the season will almost surely be shorter. My guess is no season at all. \
Btw what if the Kings end up moving, and the Sacramento fans end up getting screwed of one more season cuz of the lockout.....
i feel bad for Yao. He was such a good big man.
