OT: Who do you want to get the #1 pick?

[Newskoolbulls]

I want the Clippers to get the #1 pick. I hate the Knicks and want them no where near the #1 pick, and I want their fans to be miserable. I dont want the Thunder to get it either as I dont want them to start becoming the Blazers. Not the Wizards either as I dont want to Griffin eating up our bigs. I pick the Clippers because they are so bad that Griffin wont improve them at all, and they would be stuck with a dilemma with Griff, Kaman, Camby, Randolph.

Phoenix, so we can see them sell it to someone for 3 million.

I'm hoping he goes to the Kings. I like the Maloof brothers as owners, and their franchise needs a boost. Plus, with him on the roster, maybe they would make Jason Thompson available.

I'd also wouldn't mind the Wolves getting him either, so we could potentially snag Jefferson or Love.

I think the Wolves would go with Rubio and the Kings would ofcourse go with Griffin.

I don't believe anyone would pick Rubio ahead of Griffin. Wolves would be interesting because it would almost force them to move Love or Jefferson, and as a Bulls fan I would be interested in either guy. Toronto if they get the pick might make Bosh available even moreso than it appears they will now. Kings doesn't bother me because I have decided I don't want Hawes or Thompson.

 

[Dpauley23]

I don't really care, but if I had to chose I would go with the Clippers since they always seem to screw things up

 

[Newskoolbulls]

Knicks are rumored to want Rubio over Griffin if they get the #1 and Minny would be stupid not to take Rubio since they are set with Love and Al.

Also I would never ever move Love or Al for Griffin.

 

[Dpauley23]

They probably just speculation because of D'Antoni European roots

like the speculation about Danillo that turned out to be correct?

 

[clonetrooper264]

I'd go with the Clippers since they're such a messed up team anyway that getting Griffin really wouldn't matter. I would not want OKC or Washington to get it. I guess I would be ok with Sacto getting it.

 

[Dpauley23]

Yes. Im just saying it could be turn or it couldn't. I guess Mike does love his pgs

 

[Basghetti80]

Knicks very well might take Rubio but I would be surprised if the Wolves did not take Griffin. Then maybe we can make a move that sends Hinrich plus something for Love.

Rose
Gordon,Salmons
Deng
Love,Tyrus
Noah,Miller

Yah Newskool, lol the Knicks are a disaster. Everyone here in New York loves D'Antoni, I think he is an idiot. If they do get the number 1 pick they WILL take Rubio and that will be the dumbest move ever, I would take Thabeet over him too, especially if ur the Knicks you would have to take Griffin and if not Thabeet. But they would take another soft Euro player and have a team built around Rubio and Galinari, a 19 yr old with a back problem. I love when people say that Danilo is young so he can get better, no he has a chronic back injury,having back problems as a teenager is a huge red flag which they just ignored. What a mess. Oh yah Lebron wants to come from the best defensive team to the worst defensive team and the slowest offensive team, no way.

However as much as it pleases me to see the Knicks fan's depressed and crying I also want them to be relevant. Since the Knicks have gotten bad, we don't even hear about the NBA in NY anymore on the radio. NY is a basketball town and a Knicks town first over the dumb Yankees, when Patrick Ewing got drafted the stock market actually went up, the Knicks were charging what the Yankees charge NOW for their highest priced ticket IN THE 80's. I grew up in the 80's and 90's when both the Yankees and Mets (after late 80's) sucked and I never even heard about baseball it was great. Now all these baseball fans talk and talk and the Knicks aren't mentioned therefore the NBA isn't mentioned. My newspaper doesn't even do one article on the NBA playoffs. Like its lacrosse or something. I need the Knicks to at least be relevant so I can hear about Basketball again, and hate them again, now I don't even know they exist.

As far as the Bulls are concerned I don't care what they do in the draft as long as the picks are done well. If they pick Blair at 11 or Mullens at 16 either way, but I don't think that both players contribute next year if we keep 16 and 26th pick, maybe one of them sees minutes, so we might as well trade up.

 

[Hendu0520]

Oh and I think that there are 2 players above the rest: Griffin and Thabeet after that there is a drop off. If some team does not take those 2 with the first picks they are crazy. Rubio might be good but I don't understand why people are so sure. Really? Sure fire thing? To me he could be another Zoran Plananic but shorter, he was considered great too, played a few years for the Nets and Lakers I think and is back in Europe, 6'7'PG was hyped too, maybe not this much but c'mon. I hope Minnesota gets the pick because then they will probably pick Griffin and move Love, that could open up some trades.

I would like to see the Thunder get the pick as I'm a big fan of Durant and Griffin and would like to see if they would start Griffin, Green and Durant. And simply as fan of basketball that would be fun to watch.

I don't know why some are assuming if the T'Wolves get the first pick they won't take Griffin or trade Love if they do. They would take Griffin and keep Love. Love would just come off the bench as they'd be fools to trade Love unless they could pick up another high lottery pick they really covet, but if they didn't Griffin, Love and Jefferson which would give them one of the best big man rotations in the league for years to come besides Griffin has so much athleticism he could probably develop into SF if they wanted him to and start all 3.

I want the Thunder to be very very bad for years to come. For some reason I hate them.
