Since were almost guaranteed the 6th or 7th pick, thanks to some terrible wins we have had lately, we can only hope that some euro blows everyone away like darko, pushing someone else to us. About our only option would be for Mayo to fall to us at 6/7. Theres no one else i see that can fall to us, or that we can draft that we really could say would have an impact on our team. Thats why if we do haev 6/7 and do not have mayo available, I say lets trade down and get budinger, and perhaps other things that can help us.

Not based on talent level, but based on can they fit into our team, this is how i think our draft board would be:

1. Beasley - Would allow us to jettison brand for someone who can help us, and then have someone that could be probably about 85% as good as brand in his rookie year, yet cost 4 million a year instead of 20 million.

2. Rose - No way does he become a flop like livingston

3. Mayo - Has d wade type potential. Can play two positions for us. good perimeter defense.

4. Budinger (trading down) - The prototypical dunleavvy type player.

5. Love (trading down) - the perfect backup to both brand and kaman.

But why do i have this nagging feeling Danilo Gallinari is at the top of dunleavvy's draft board? lol
