NBA Draft and trades

[ljcool110]

Anyone have any thoughts on the NBA Draft? Rose goes #1, Beasley #2, Mayo #3 (but later traded), trades all over the place including Kevin Love, Jermaine O'Neal, TJ Ford and more, and one player got dealt 3 times in one night! Also, a NBA DL player got drafted...

Amazing how many freshman were drafted so high. This was definitely the year of the diaper dandy.

indeed. there were a ton of great frosh this year, but now they will be competing with Oden for rookie of the year.

I like the Raptors acquiring O'Neal. I'm also glad that Mayo didn't land in a playoff bound scenario...

With Chris Boh already in Toronto I was surprised to see O'Neal go to the Raptors. I think they will still be lacking for a play-maker who can create their own shot, but should have good low-post presence and rebounding.

I am drooling at the frontcourt.. just hope the backcourt will be able to distribute...
