Could be a number of things, trade, free agent, Ukic. No clue at this time.

We traded the next Podkolzine for cash, haha. Anyways, really good job by Colangelo, now he just signs a PG and we're off.

PG- Speedy Claxton/Jose Calderon/Roko Ukic/Andre Barrett/Alvin Williams
SG- Morris Peterson/PJ Tucker
SF- Charlie Villanueva/Joey Graham
PF- Chris Bosh/Andrea Bargnani/Kris Humphries
C- Rasho Nesterovic/Pape Sow

That's our twelve man roster as of now I think. Other than Claxton obviously, but I want Raps to get him.

First They Didnt Take Lamarcus Aldridge
Now They Skip Denham Brown......

What Is Colangelo Doing, Honestly.....[/quote]

Bargnani was the player he wanted all along good pick. The medical staff deemed Aldridge a risk due to his previous injury.

PJ tuker is a much better defensive player, rebounder, and overall hustle player then Brown. Tucker also is bigger and has a 7'1" wingspan. He averaged as many boards and maybe 1 or 2 fewer points than Aldridge at half his size. This was a great pick.

Let Colangelo finish building his team before you start critisizing it.

Why is everyone calling Bargnani the first European selected number 1 in the draft? I know the Clippers wish it never happened, but Michael Olowokandi was the number 1 pick in 98, and he's British. Hopefully this pick will be better.

Olowokandi was born in Africa and learned how to play ball in the US, thats why.

cuz Kandi still played in the US for some west coast university....Bargnani didn't

Until he went to college, he'd spent almost all his life in the UK. Oh well. people clearly aren't counting him, maybe that's why.
