2010 NBA Draft (6-24-10)

[Watson410]

The Thunder will be adding more pieces to the puzzle tomorrow. The draft starts at 6:30 on ESPN be sure to tune in to see what the Thunder do with their picks. We have 3 first round picks (18th, 21st, and 26th) and 1 second round picks (51st). Who would everyone like to see added to the team? (That we can actually get) Obviously we would like Wall, Favors, Cousins, ETC. but who do you think we should reasonably pick?

Is there an organized watch party anywhere? I thought I heard Toby Keith's mentioned, but I can't remember...

[Watson410]

Yeah it's at Toby Keith's.

[SkyWestOKC]

We traded a 32 pick for Miami's 18 and a player.

[jstaylor62]

I'm undecided on trading up to get Cousins. His big body sure would help banging inside, but watching him play he seemed a little imature. He seemed quick to get mad if a call did not go his way.

I would laugh if the Thunder draft Willie

NO chance. Not a Presti guy at all.

You never know, anything can happen!

No way Presti ever brings Warren to OKC! The kid has proven he has a horrible work ethic and no defensive skills.

So? Presti might draft him just because he played for the Sooners and Willie will still be home

[Watson410]

Presti won't just draft a player because he goes to OU or OSU. He's trying to build a winning team not just put butts in the seats. Warren is definitely not a Presti type player.

[Watson410]

Interesting 1st round… Let's see how the 2nd round pans out...

[NickFiggins]

I really like Presti's moves today. He was reasonable in targeting Cole Aldrich we got him for our 1st rd pick and the 26th (from the kurt thomas trade-the gift that keeps giving). He will fit nicely as a taller Collison. His work ethic is great and he is good on the boards. He is exactly what the team needs more post defense and the price we pay for him is minimal. He Its great to think of bigs including Ibaka, Kristic, Collison, Aldrich plus prospects in the d-league. He used 2nd rd picks to get more big man prospects and got a the best Euro (big man) prospect in Pleiss for dirt cheap. Oh and using our 18th pick for a Clippers 1st rounder is always a plus (hopefully it will pan out for a high lottery pick)

[MonkeesFan]

Poor Clippers and Blake, stuck with WillIe!

I totally agree. I like that we added some inside help without having to trade any of our existing players. I think Aldrich will be a good fit.

Is it just me, or did the Thunder go out and try to land answers to Bynum, Gasol, and Fisher?

The Thunder need big guys to bang against the moutbreathers for the Lakers...wear them down running and bangin.

[Watson410]

Answers for Bynum and Gasol, absolutely!! As for Fisher... NO!! We have an answer for Fisher, he's name is Westbrook. The whole series (Lakers/Thunder) Westbrook flew by Fisher at will.. The only thing Fish is better than Westbrook at is hittin' 3's, which Fish does very well! Thunder tried to find answers for Bynum and Gasol in the draft, but I'm not sure they found answer... Definitely upgraded the front court tho..

[TaoMaas]

It's Fisher's 3-point ability that I meant. I agree with you about Westbrook being better in all other areas than Fisher.

I am surprised he made a play for Cole Aldrich and not James Anderson. Too bad OU didn't have any respectable players in the draft, which Warren is not.

OU had a lot of respectable players in the draft. (In their own minds anyway) LOL
