NBA Draft Recap

Not many times are the praises of Isiah Thomas sung. June 28, 2007 is one of those rare days. With the moving and shaking the Knicks did on Thursday, they are now a playoff team. They landed one of the few legit 20-10 guys in the league for a sack of dung. Come here to find someone singing the praises of Kevin Pritchard? Look somewhere else. What an idiot. It's like he was thinking, "We need a small forward, you know what, lets take a center so we can trade our star power forward, instead of taking the best player in the draft, who fits an immediate need at the 3."
Then what do they do. They don't even get a small forward back in the Randolph trade. How dumb is that? This brings up another point, who exactly is scoring for them next year besides Brandon Roy. They will struggle to score 90. Congrats Mr. Pritchard, you just knocked your own team out of next years playoffs.

Quick bullets of the other moves I hated:

• Spencer "Bust" Hawes to the Kings. If they're going to trade Artest (and they are), then why not take Al Thornton? Man, these teams are stupid.
• Yi to the Bucks. For more on this, let The Sports Guy take over this indefensible pick.
• Julian Wright to New Orleans. Hey we desperately need a 2-guard, lets take a forward.
• Anything the Suns did. Can't wait for the day when all 12 guys on their roster retire the same year. Trade Diaw already.
• Nick Fazekas to the Mavs. Austin Croshere clone. At best.

And the ones I liked:

• Al Thornton to the Clip Joint. Man Beast. He's a starter if they trade Maggette.
• Jared Dudley to Charlotte. Adam Morrison, this is the bench. Stay there.

And thats it. Most of the picks were good picks. How could you go wrong in such a deep draft? Well, unless your name is Kevin Pritchard.
