Tomorrow is the draft. Its so close, I can smell it (or is that you, C17?).

Everyone team is doing a good job at keeping their picks a secret. Or maybe its because no one really stands out so the talent pool is all spaced out. I guess its all about what your gut feeling tells you on that day.

Could Joey Graham slide to 18? His athleticism is quite comparable to Shawn Marion's (though Marion is more agile and Graham is stronger). He could make a nice SF for us.

Danny Granger reminds me a lot of Tracy McGrady, but he'll be long gone by the time 18 rolls around.

Ike Diogu remains a guy I would like to draft. But before we start stockpiling our frontcourt depth, I think its more imperative that we solidify our PG position. Neither Delonte nor Banks have cemented the starting spot, and since this is a deep PG draft, we need to cast our line while the fishes are plentiful. We can't draft for needs yet, but Ukic or Jack are worthy PG's to take ahead of Diogu (at least from what I've read of Ukic).

Can Ainge move up to get Chirs Paul? If not Paul, can he maneuver a trade to get us a pick in the top 10 to get Felton? Is he enthralled with Deron Williams like other GM's around the league are (I honestly think he's getting too much hype).

Is Ainge interested in trading Pierce for any other player in the draft other than a PG? Would he try to make a move for Bogut or Marvin Williams by trading Pierce away?

Will Ainge be able to move up in the second round?

They just seem like the perfect SF for us.

Actually, I feel that Graham is a better fit for us than Granger is. Granger is more of an individual player, though this is just in comparison to Graham. He doesn't seem like the type who will strive in a passing offense. But players can learn to play in different systems if they are willing.

I have mixed feelings about Tony Allen's teammate joining us. I just think college teammates playing together sometimes doesn't work out for whatever reason. It's like "hey we made it to the league. We're millionaires. It'll be like college. Let's party. " Like Webber and Howard. I all of a sudden can't think of anyone else, but i don't think Rasheed and Stack would work so well. maybe the Cs are different in this situation.

After hearing Bogut being interviewed, I wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole. The way he comes across he is an attitude waiting to happen. In the interview he was asked a question, that he had been asked many times before, and he about had a hissy-fit about having to answer it again. He better get used to this type of questioning real quick.

I saw Leaf rebound from many-a-sack, come back out of the huddle, to throw a tight spiral right to the DB. He was good at crying and bitching to the media too. ;D

For some reason I have a strange feeling about Cris Taft...he is getting no publicity...I still think Roko is a SMOKESCREEN for maybe Taft. I think Marcus and Delonte can hold the point , especially is we sign sarunas. I also think antoine is gone! Pierce stays...until the trade deadline. at least ..unless he all of a sudden "gets It"

Taft is a guy I"m hoping will slide. I'd list Diogu, Taft, and Villanueva among the big men I want sliding to us.

Delonte can fit in as the starting PG if our SG is also an adequate ball handler who can pass the ball and shoot the rock.

Pierce "getting it" will be the best thing for us.
