The NBA Draft Special

I wanted to do something for the NBA draft tomorrow but I have a job interview (whoopty doo) so I thought instead of preparing for that I will give my full attention to the NBA draft. Before I get started I would like to say ESPN.com has gone straight to shit. They don't let you read anything anymore unless you pay to be an Insider. I remember the days of participating in live chats with Chad Ford but forget about it now.
The NBA draft is usually more important to me than Christmas. In fact, all sports drafts (especially live fantasy drafts) are my religious holiday's. I don't know what it is about them that gets me so excited? I guess its just the element of surprise. So I have been puzzled as to why I am not feeling as excited about it this year.
I finally realized that the main reason I'm not as excited is because for the first time in forever the Bulls don't have a pick. They usually have the opportunity to ruin not one but two lottery picks. Since they won't be able to do that this year I'll have to wait for the free agency period for them to screw up. (On a positive note it seems that Skiles and Curry will be coming back.)
In this NBA draft special I will go over all of the lottery teams and give my opinion on who they should pick.

1. Milwaukee Bucks-Andrew Bogut? There ain't no way in hell I take this guy over Marvin Williams. They are calling him the next Luc Longley.) I was at a wedding in Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago and my cheese head friends were practically in tears over what their team is gonna do.

2. Atlanta Hawks-Marvin Williams They got to go with him if he's still there. They say Williams coulda been the first pick last year. Now after helping lead his team to a national championship he is behind some doofus from Australia and Utah (not basketball powerhouses). This might be a Sam Bowie and Michael Jordan situation. If I am the Hawks I definitely take Williams even though their four best players, no check that, their only four players play the same position as Williams. They need to trade someone, not Marvin.

3. Portland-They are going to trade this pick to Utah. Its a good thing too because the two next best guys are both point guards and they just used their lottery pick last year on a PG. Which brings me to the question who is better Deron Williams or Chris Paul? A month ago this woulda been a no brainer. Damn that east coast bias. ESPN doesn't even know who Deron Williams is. I hear the Jazz are moving up to take Deron Williams and why not he's the next Jason Kidd right? (well at least they kinda look alike)

4. New Orleans- It doesn't matter who this team picks because they will never be good again, at least not in my lifetime. This team needs to be contracted. I hear they want a point guard so Chris Paul it is. I don't know why they want a point guard Dan Dickau is their best player. How sad is that?

5. Charlotte-They want to move up and supposedly are willing to trade their other lottery pick in order to do it. I would never do that. Especially when the next "TMAC" will be available here in Gerald Green.

6. Portland (from Utah)- This team is pathetic too. They should draft Rashad McCants he would fit the mindset of this perpetually ghetto ass team. Or maybe they should just go with that Carlton Dotson guy. The one from Baylor who murdered his teammate a couple years back is he still available? I guess they need a shooter (no pun intended) so Martell Webster.

7. Toronto-They are talking about drafting a big man which they also did last year. Ummm how'd that work out for ya? I've also heard talk about them getting a point guard even though they threw all that money at Skip to My Lou last year? The NBA is retarded. I say they get that Granger dude the one everyone is calling the next Shawn Marion.

8. New York- I'm sure Isaiah will find a way to blow this one. It's getting harder and harder to claim him as one of our own. Everyone says Channing Frye. Where did he come from? Two months ago he was a second rounder. Didn't Isaiah just trade Kurt Thomas? Isn't he the same player as Channing Frye? Oh well, at least they still have ten 6'8" power forwards and ten guard/forwards who are ball hoggin non defenders.

9. Golden State-They better get someone to compliment Baron Davis because I think I'm gonna cross my fingers and select him as one of my keepers for next season. This team was really turning it around. They are supposedly gonna try to imitate Phoenix's offense. Sounds good to me. So they need a big man who can run.

10. Lakers- They need to draft a little bitch for Kobe. I'm hearing Charlie Villanueva. I guess Phil Jackson likes head cases. They would be better served by Raymond Felton.

11. Orlando- This team could be awesome. Although I am also starting to think that Steve Francis may be a mini Stephan Marbury, destined to be a career loser. Anyhoo they need to build around Howard because he is the real deal. Jameer Nelson is good too.

12. Charlotte-How does this starting line up sound: Okafor, Gerald Green(remember he's the next TMAC) Gerald Wallace, Brevin Knight, and with this pick Hakim Warrick or maybe Sean May? Their names both fit nicely there.

13. Clippers- Who cares?

14. Minnesota- I was going to stop at 13 but its not too often Minnesota gets to pick this high. Wait a second, its not too often that Minnesota gets to pick at all. Can you picture KG and Hakim Warrick in the same frontcourt?

Who would of I wanted the Bulls to get? Well, I love Hakim Warrick and he fits a need we have for an athletic big. I wouldn't mind Sean May or Ike Diogu. I like Francisco Garcia we need someone who can shoot. Maybe even a Salim Stoudemire or a Luther Head in the second round. Speaking of Illini players Dee Brown is so lucky he broke his leg. Because of the NBA's CBA (collective bargaining agreement) he has a much better shot at getting drafted next year when a very strong high school class will be forced to play one year of college.

Phew! This blogging thing is hard work. I hope someone is reading this crap.
