NBA Draft: A Kink in the Plans?

Found June 26, 2008 on Waiting For Next Year: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: LeBron James,  Roy Hibbert,  Robin Lopez,  Kosta Koufos,  Anthony Randolph,  Nicolas Batum,  Mario Chalmers
TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers,  Charlotte Bobcats

Toronto will also send the 17th overall selection to the Pacers, who now get the point guard they have been looking for in Ford as well as two selections (ahead of us) that they can use to replenish their front court - something that many anticipated the Cavaliers to do for quite some time.

When you look at the All-Star teams last year, on the Eastern Conference side, every single player was taken in the top 10. On the Western Conference side, only Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, David West, and Carlos Boozer were drafted outside the top...

Larry Hughes Looks Back

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  June 25, 2008
