Sorry I haven't posted in a few minutes, but I was in the press room to listen to Billy and Woody talk to the media.
They both seem pretty upbeat, as they should be in my opinion.
As I said before, for those who wanted Conley, I don't care if you do think Conley is the best PG in the draft, I'll take Horford and Law over Conley and Hawes any day of the week.
No real surprises in the last few picks, draft-wise, but we did get another huge deal, as the Blazers and Knicks pull off a blockbuster. Zach Randolph and change to New York for Steve Francis and Channing Frye. Wow.
Man, I have never been an Isiah fan, but this deal is decidedly in their favor. Zach Randolph immediately becomes the best low-post scorer in the East, and teamed with Eddy Curry, that is one frightening frontline. I dare say the Knicks might not even be terrible next season, so long as they can stay healthy and out of trouble (one of those seems more likely than the other).
I still think Portland should have held onto Randolph, but it wasn't that long ago that Channing Frye was considered untouchable in New York, so him coming off the bench as your top frontcourt sub for Oden and Aldridge is a pretty scary thought.
I'll be back in a few with an interview with Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins!
