Not a fan of Mudiay but at least it shows that the FO is keeping up the youth movement.

Could mean anything I guess.

If he is gone I wish him nothing but the best. My problems with him have been more about play style and injuries than anything else.

Of all the Bledsoe packages I've heard #13 and Mudiay might be the most underwhelming. I'd still do it though as long as we took a prospect I liked at #13
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Now is the time to trade Bledsoe. I said it back at the trade deadline when people were pissed we didn't move Bledsoe then.

I'm fine with Mudiay and #13 if we can take Fox at #4. I could even be sold on not getting Fox in a swap with Sacramento. #4 & #13 for #5 & #10.

Could be a trade, but I'd more likely think it's a UK thing.

Ya, it's probably just a shoutout to all the kids in the draft today. Doesn't mean he won't be traded by the end off the night though.

Ah that makes more sense. :)

Tried watching the yahoo stream but man I find it difficult listening to people just spout cliches about all the picks just to fill time.

How much do we want Knight gone? I could see us offering Knight + #4 for Aldridge

I have a YouTube livestream link of the draft if anyone wants to watch outside of the country or on the go.

I don't want to get anyone in trouble by posting it here, so send me a PM if you want it.

Good, unless it's for KP. That Denver trade would be a horrible return for Bledsoe. Don't do it. Why give him away? Mudiay can't shoot at all.

The draft is such a crap shoot. To nail #13 again would be incredible. Go back and look at some past drafts. Most guys don't really amount to much.

We gave away 2 first rounders to rid ourselves of a good player like Kurt Thomas. This is a steal by comparison.

I'd rather keep Knight that spend #4 and commit to LMA.
