Draft outlook

[mark at 10thumbs.org]

bill simmons brought up an interesting point on Chad Ford's podcast about
the draft, what if:

1. The Celtics (or any team) end up with #2 pick
2. The Suns end up with #4 pick

Wouldn't the Suns trade anyone but Nash + Stoudemire for Durant?

Would you trade Durant, and Wally for, say, Horford, Marion, and #24 pick?

Unfortunately this time of year has been far too interesting for us Celtic
fans in the past many years.

----------------------------
Oden played great last night, though that was the first tournament game
that he -- not Lewis or Conley -- looked like the best player on the court
for Ohio State.

Horford couldn't guard Oden, but I think he's elevated himself to the 3-5
range in the draft. Brewer will also be a good NBA player, but the more I
see of Noah, the less I like. Athletic, runs the floor, blocks shots,
handles the ball well for a big guy and can play defense, but where's he
going to find offense in the NBA?

I don't think Green is a first-rounder (Florida's Green, not Georgetown's
:-) ) He should stay in school another year.

If Pierce comes back this week, the Celtics WILL catch the Bucks. Or get
passed by the Bucks, depending on how you look at it.
