If you are analyzing the draft to figure out whom we should pick, take a look at http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=2146. Key thing: looks to the numbers (and to me) like Thaddeus Young and Javaris Crittenton may be busts in the making (along w/ some guys who want even fall to our pick). The analysis is based on the Wages of Wins method; the article links to DJ Berri's blog coming off of the book. No, you’re not wrong — in any case, looks like Kevin’ll be in LA soon.

IMO how ever i may be wrong just the fact that every one is trying to get rid of every center we have that knows the system for a PF who is unable to play center and not only that he is only 80 and he has a 22+ mill contract with a 5 mill trade kicker. other than that the fact that i don’t think we could get KG for those 3 guys unless we put at least one of the big 3 in there and that’s not a good idea seen how it takes time to work people into the system that gives us another down year to learn each other and with KG able to leave after that year then we have no money to resign Gil and we are stuck with nothing but a back up team and no star player at all!

He would immediately upgrade our defense, his offense would be more than adequate (especially in transition), and he's twice as good as anyone we have now. Why has nobody even mentioned him as a possibility at 16? WHAT ABOUT SEAN WILLIAMS?!!!

Gee, ya think that would be good? Hey W4L, why the disapproval? I love all these suggestions that we should “get KG.” Gee, ya think that would be good?

Etan had one good season and that was it. So hurry now and grab KG and a shooting guard that can block outside shoots.
