mayo or bayless would be a good pick for the clippers.

rose is overrated and no he does not abuse everyone.

and i like the chauncey billups comparison a lot for mayo...a big 1 guard who can play defense, distribute the ball, and hit the outside shot...only difference would be athleticism...i know mayo didn't really take it to the basket a whole lot, but i have seen his hops when he tries and he can almost get his head to rim level...

i really think mayo is being seriously underrated and i have a feeling that he is going to get picked higher than a lot of people might think...sadly for us, i don't think he will be availalbe if we get stuck with the #6 or #7 pick...

If you guys do end up taking a guard like Bayless, would you consider moving Livingston you think?

He has had injury problems and is comin' off a season where he didn't play. Also, he has one more year then is a Free Agent.

I'm sure Portland would be interested in Livingston. Do you think he would be decently cheap depending on who the Clips draft? Do you think he is being shopped? He has the potential to be great...

The Blazers are going to go after Westbrook in the draft for sure, and it looks that Sacremento will pass us up by the end of the year and we will have the 12th pick in the draft. Would that hold any value to you guys? Or any players (realistically... no Fernandez, Roy, Oden, Aldridge) you guys might be interested in for Livingston? Or a future pick? or somethin'... Let me know. I can see Portland goin' for Livingston and Westbrook and hopefully landing both.

By the way, about Rose. Rose destroyed Collison but got slowed down a lot by Westbrook, who definitely outplayed Rose imo. If they would have been on each other the whole time, Rose would have around 14 points, while Westbrook had like 25.

And about Mayo, when Mayo and Westbrook played heads up, Mayo held him to 4 points and 10 turnovers, OJs worst game of the year. Westbrook is also first team all defense in the pac-10 and defensive player of the year. But i'm sure ya'll in LA know about him, since UCLA is your college. What do you guys think of Westbrook? You guys have probably seen him play a lot. The kid is special in my opinion.

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

Danilo actually isn't half bad from the clips I've seen of him, would probably be worth a late lotto pick, but that is IF we trade down. Now, if we take Batum, I'll be annoyed. Since last years draft, all I've heard is "potential". Hopefully we don't take a backup big though, I want to bring Sofo over.

I'd consider moving Livingston no matter who we draft, personally i think he's a complete bust at this point and would welcome any other team who wants to gamble with him. If Portland was interested, I think either Webster and/or Jack would be our targets, possibly even a 2nd rounder (to help us clear capspace).

Presently we have no quality PGs and only one quality SG. So both could easily find a lot of playing time here regardless of who we draft.
