Yeah I'd be pissed! I'd drive from Spokane to Sam Presti's office, kick down his door and beat him to a bloody pulp with one of his own limbs.




Just kidding Sammy..........................or am I muhahahahahah?

Derrick Rose should and needs to be the Sonics draft pick.

Remember that Sam!

depending on who had the second pick and if that team wanted beasly bad enough, i would put out indicators that the supes where going to take him and try and squeeze something out of the other team to swap positions. then the sonics could grab rose and pick up another asset (future pick, player, whatever). but if the sonics are in the top two, i really think rose should be the player they target. with the late first and the second, i would look for a big and a two guard.
Don't act like you're not impressed.

I believe you're talking about #1 overall, right?

If so, then i think we'd be the laughing stock of this league, if we'd select the 4th project center within 5 years, while guys like Rose, Bayless, Gordon, Mayo or even Beasley(who i don't see fitting next to Durant and Green) would be available as well.

All things considered, the only way i'd like that is if this team would be headed to OK City.

BTW: I don't think that Beaubois will be in this years draft. He's really young and could help himself if he waits another year or so, cause right now he's a late 1st rounder at best.

DeAndre Jordan?

I like Brook Lopez and Roy Hibbert over DeAndre, and I wouldn't waste a first overall on those two.

Who's a better shooter? Bayless or Rose? I think we should pick the better shooter.

Do not draft Mayo please. If we have 5th pick, and Bayless, Rose, and Gordon are gone, Deandre or Beasley please!

Bayless is the better shooter by far.. but.. if you were to compare Gilbert Arenas to Deron Williams/Chris Paul, who would you rather have?

Just take a look at those two teams and what having a great PG can do for you.

Not to knock on Agent Zero's game, but Pure PGs like Paul and Deron > Arenas

Its hard to tell how good a passer Rose is. ...he was used more as a scorer in High School cause he was so good and now in Memphis they play a weird offense where its just drive and kick so you cant really tell how good his vision is.

I'll pick two Memphis Tigers for with the first two picks.

1. Rose (This kid is a taller version of Chris Paul)
2. Dorsey (Bigger version of Ben Wallace)

I think we should then use the Suns pick on Chris Douglas-Roberts to get 3 Tigers to Seattle.

Beasley still wouldn't fit next to Green....

I've been a Beasley guy all along. Rose has impressed me, but Beasley continues to produce at such a high level. That win over Kansas was the stuff great players are made of. And he predicted the victory beforehand? I love it. That takes gumption, and it takes even more to be able to back it up.
