NO

Anthony Randolph won't got past 5

[FireMcFailPlease]

Why would OJ Mayo go 3rd?

You do realize Minny has McCants and Foye at the 2.

Its Brook Lopez or Anthony Randolph.

Foye played pg when he returned.

Plus you dont draft for need, you draft the talent and Mayo is still more talented then Lopez or Randolph.

I hope we take Mayo

What are the needs (in terms of position needed) of the first seven teams that will pick?
Who can help me with this?
Thanks.

1. Chicago - ?
2. Miami - ?
3. Minnesota - ?
4. Seattle - ?
5. Memphis - ?
6. New York - ?
7. Clippers - ?

John Paxson likes good character guys and despite the media totally ignoring that crooked Memphis program and Derrick Rose's crooked older brother, Reggie, people around Chicago know that Rose could be trouble. especially, playing in his hometown. It's all about Beasley baby!!

Bust.

[NY Comeback]

This completely ****ed up my day.

[GOBB]

Why would Anthony Randolph go top 5??????? Get real. You guys are morons.

I'm so happy for the Chicago Bulls, one of my 3 favorite teams in the NBA. The Bulls and Magic (the other of my 3 favorite teams) generally tend to have good fortune in the Draft lottery. However, the other of my 3 favorite teams, the Knicks, do not.

Tell that to the Hawks who drafted Marvin Williams ahead of CP3 despite them needing a PG forever. Marvin Williams was thought of to be seriously mega talented.

At some point, draft for need.

Why draft Beasley when you still have Tyrus and Noah?

Those are 2 young PF's with potential.

ok, everybody is missing the point here. this is the 2nd post thus far to get it wrong.

NOah is a CENTER!!

[Y2Gezee]

Rose or Beasley unless someone offers a sweet deal for the #1. You dont ignore talent like this. Beasley is a bonified scorer. Rose is a stud. But yeah pass them up for a big.

Here you want a big? Here you go...

Guess you missed my post right above this.

But I certainly don't think they need rose. Beasley would actually work well, but I don't think Deandre Jordan would be a bad pick for them to take via a trade down a few slots.

Brook Lopez? Come on, Oj Mayo is the best choice to play with Al Jefferson. I don't care how many guards Minnesota has. Foye can play with Mayo and McCants can take a back seat.

Don't they have Telfair too, they can get rid of that wanna be thug for a slightly less poser.

1. Rose
2. Beasley
3. Mayo
4. Bayless
5. Gordon/ Randolph /Lopez

Ehhhh....I think Lopez will be a better player than Mayo.

As for Chicago, there should be some trades around draft time. If they draft Rose they should get rid of Hinrich and/or Gordon. If they draft Beasley than what happens to Thomas? I think they should draft Rose, trade Hinrich and Gordon for whatever players BUT make sure to get another top 7 pick. Draft someone like Lopez/Koufos/Randolph/Jordan.

Rose
whoever
Deng
Thomas or Noah
Koufos

A real team.
