The NBA Draft Is in 2 Hours!
I know everyone could give 2 shits (sorry, just trying to maintain my "NC-17" rating) that the NBA draft is today. And I promise not to cry when I see that I have zero comments for this entry. But people really should care. Here are 3 reasons why:
1. Oden versus Durant
Portland's decision at #1 really is an interesting one, and gets more confusing the more you look at it. Do they go with Bull Russel Redux (Oden) or the 6-10 Michael Jordan (Durant)? Well you always go with the center. Or do you in today's faster-paced smaller NBA? Still, look at what Oden did in college with one wrist. On the other hand, what if the wrist never heals? Well, you can't skip on Oden, he's lost like 17 games total in his life. He's the definition of a winner. But Oden wasn't even the best guy on that team, Conley was. And so it goes on and on...
2. Monster Trades
I can't remember a time when bigger names were bandied about before draft day: Garnett, Stoudemire, Marion, Jermaine O'Neil, Kobe, Ray Allen... And there is motivation for them to be traded during the draft, that way the team does get to pick who they want with the draft pick they traded for. Expect at least 1 big name to switch teams tonight (Most likely Garnett to Phoenix).
3. Deeper Draft
Many consider this the deepest draft in the last 10 years, and I don't think people are just saying that. Even better, since high school players can't enter, everyone has some track record you can look back on. So if you're a college fan, this should be the most recognizable draft in years.

Rumor Update (for everyone who doesn't care anyway):
The Blazers are considering trading Randolph to the Knicks for Steve Francis and Channing Frye.
I say do it. Frye has a lot of upside and Francis's contract runs-out in 2 years (versus Randolph's 35-year max contract)
OK, maybe I just did that so I wouldn't have 0 comments
What do you call it when you're the only one to post on your own blog?
Blogsterbation?
Alright, I'll stop drinking and commenting (Go Blazers with Oden, Francis, + Fernandez!!!!)
Hey...you should contact your doctor because having an erection for more than 4 hours straight is a problem!
Blogsterbation...he he he!
I hope that all of the teams draft players who are super-talented and fill niches and really get along with everyone else in the team organization, and who are good about getting out in the communities, and that there are lots of really exciting games this year that are fun for the players and exciting for the fans, and that all of the businesses involve make a fair profit and that everybody is really proud of and happy with the team that they root for. That would be awesome!
