    Ok Brooklyn, you've got a new center and now you can simply renounce the rights to Day'Ron Sharpe.

    Dear sirron .... any way we could commission you during the dog days of the off season to give us one of THESE below especially for that jack***? He's got the most punchable face and voice and style of anyone on the planet.

    i'm not sure why fleming made it to the second round. i'm still a fan of small, despite him being...well, small.

    i'm not very familiar with the others, but i trust mike.

    in that we didn't get into the first round or that the clips took our interesting prospect?

    i guess i'm not super disappointed because we've done our best work with buying into the second and udfas.

    i was a little annoyed when it looked like sac bought into the first round, but then i saw they traded okc a future first (heavily protected, okc just kicked the can down the road) and was like...if we didn't see anyone worth moving in for, i'll trust the scouts. or maybe we've seen someone and are waiting for the second round or the udfa market.

    my disappointment was the lack of trades of actual players. i felt like last night would be the night for moves, especially with bkn having all those picks (their roster is almost full of unproven players at this moment, and they have a lot of money to spend to get to the salary floor).

    watching phx get mark williams also hurt. the fact that he went for a bit less (imo) than what we offered may be telling, though...

    Trade up or buy a pick to nab one. Both are better than the bigs still left. We are operating from an extreme deficit in athleticism and perimeter defense. If there's one thing the later rounds of the playoffs showed, it's that both are needed to be in the mix.
