TWTWTNBA: Draft Prediction (Pacific)


Sacramento Kings
Draft Position: 5th, 33rd

Unrestricted Free Agents: Sean May, Ime Udoka

Restricted Free Agents: Jon Brockman, Dominic McGuire

Sacramento has frontcourt holes, which they can fill up with either a big man (Cousins or Favors) or Wesley Johnson. They already made an initial move with Samuel Dalembert. I think they would go after complimentary pieces for Reke and the hustler named Carl Landry.

If I were the GM, 5 interesting not-so-obvious players I would go after: Chris Duhon, Jannero Pargo, Nate Robinson, Shaun Livingston, Hakim Warrick
Los Angeles Clippers
Draft Position: 8th, 54th

Unrestricted Free Agents: Steve Blake, Rasual Butler, Drew Gooden, Steve Novak, Travis Outlaw, Brian Skinner, Craig Smith

Restricted Free Agents: Bobby Brown, Mardy Collins

They have one obvious hole. That is of course, the SF. They would preferably want a guy named Lebron, but if the word is legit, luol Deng (if healthy), might be good enough. Also will not mind an upgrade in bench depth.

If I were the GM, 5 interesting not-so-obvious players I would go after: Anthony Morrow, Linas Kleiza, Josh Childress, Shuan Livingston, Allen Iverson
Golden State Warriors
Draft Position: 6th

Unrestricted Free Agents: Devean George, Vladimir Radmanovic (ET option)

Restricted Free Agents: Chris Hunter, Anthony Morrow, Anthony Tolliver, CJ Watson

Last I heard bout these W's, everyone is for sale except for Curry. Even the franchise is for sale. Best player available. Monroe would be good considering the fickleness of Nellieball. I just hope he has high confidence and self-esteem, because this is Nellieball, after all. Oh, and they love D-Leaguers.

If I were the GM, 5 interesting not-so-obvious players I would go after: Nate Robinson, Eddie House, David Lee, Channing Frye, Amir Johnson
Phoenix Suns
Draft Position: 46th, 60th

Unrestricted Free Agents: Louis Amundson, Jarron Collins, Channing Frye, Amar'e Stoudemire (ET option)

A team without a GM, facing uncertainty with the cheapskate tendencies of their owner, but have the best training staff around. In addition, they have Steve Nash, who just had his just successful soccer event. Lots of fun veterans. But all eyes on Amar'e and what he will do. They'll look at getting key contributors this late.

If I were the GM, 5 interesting not-so-obvious players I would go after: Jermaine O'Neal, Eddi House, Nate Robinson, Hakim Warrick, Luis Scola
Los Angeles Lakers
Draft Position: 43rd, 58th

Unrestricted Free Agents: Derek Fisher, D.J. Mbenga, Josh Powell, Shannon Brown (Player)

Restricted Free Agents: Adam Morrison, Jordan Farmar

No rest for the weary. At least they have a timetable to determine whether Phil Jackson will come back. If he does not, I think it will be Brian Shaw who will be the next head coach. In addition, the champs need to figure out considering how much they are paying Kobe, Pau, Bynum et al. Rumors of a Lamar swap have been heard. Team needs to really think about upgrading the remainder of their backcourt.

If I were the GM, 5 interesting not-so-obvious players I would go after: Randy Foye, Mike Miller, Shaun Livingston, Chris Duhon, Steve Blake
