Live Blog of the NBA Draft
It's 6:23 central time and i'm here in Iowa City getting set to update the blog throughout the NBA draft. I've just cracked a beautiful Olde English 800 and i'm here with Scotty, Tanner, J, and Nate Dogg. Before the Blazers pick Greg Oden with the first pick, i want to ask the question of why Portland and Seattle didn't try to swap picks. Think about this for a minute, it's not crazy. Oden makes way more sense on Seattle than Portland. Why doesn't Seattle try to send the #2 along with Ray Allen and say, Saer Sene for the #1, straight up. If you're Portland, you get the chance to take Kevin Durant, and pair him with your already established frontline of Zach Randolph, Lamarcus Aldridge, and Jamaal Magloire. Randolph is going to be traded if they take Oden, and is going to be hard to get full value for him. If you're the Blazers, doesn't the following 5 make you instant contenders?
Brandon Roy, Ray Allen, Kevin Durant, Zach Randolph, and Jamaal Magloire. Doesn't this make sense? To anyone? In addition, ditching Allen and signing a big man like Oden instantly makes Rashard Lewis want to resign in Seattle, and Seattle has a great core for the future: Luke Ridnour, Damien Wilkens, Rashard Lewis, Chris Wilcox, and Greg Oden. Wouldn't it be fun to watch these teams compete? Why has no one talked about this ever? Probably because it makes too much sense for anyone.
For tonight, we've invented the NBA Draft drinking game. In it, everyone participating says who they think will be drafted at a certain slot. If you get it right, you have the number of drinks corresponding to the pick to distribute. For example, we are all going to pick Oden at number one. When he gets drafted, we all have one drink to give out. If one of us stupidly picks Durant right now, then we have to take a drink. For #2, it's two drinks. For #12, 12. This most certainly will not play out, but it's fun to start with. i'm going to tune in now to actually watch and post periodically. Thanks for reading, anyone who is reading.
