Timberwolves Unveil New Logo As They Prepare For The Draft

Via nba.com  |  June 26, 2008
The Wolves unveiled their new logo today, and I must say it's rather slick. Although I've heard awful rumors about their new unis (namely a big green tree going up the side *shudder*), but that aside the "new" logo that is just a revamped version of the original looks solid. I'll be watching the draft this evening and will report back with reactions to the Wolves draft.

Does this blockbuster equation make sense to you?

Via RotoEvil  |  June 27, 2008
In case you haven't heard this blockbuster trade of epic proportions: Kevin Love + Mike Miller + Brian Cardinal + Jason Collins for OJ Mayo + Marko Jaric + Antoine Walker + Greg Buckner. WOW!

Well, I didn't want to say it before, but screw Memphis. Did we really want our boy to play in Memphis, the city that shares the same name of the university that beat UCLA in the Final Four?

A hearty congratulations to Kevin Love, who was selected as the #5 pick overall in the NBA Draft.

OJ Mayo's NBA All-Food Team

Via NE Patriots Draft  |  June 26, 2008
As OJ Mayo has now made his way on to the Memphis Grizzlies, he jokes about his name have already started. The Grizzlies' practices have already been called the "Mayo Clinic" and if OJ ever makes a last-second shot, I'm sure there will be a "Miracle Whip" headline or two. He now joins these fine players to make up the NBA All-Food Team:

Random Draft Day Thoughts

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  June 26, 2008
In an AP article reported in the Herald, Danny discussed his thoughts on this year's draft. Some of the highlights: ** The Celtics have worked out about 50 potential draftees, similar to last year's number, and that list has been reduced to 23 possible players for the 30th pick. ** There's not much room for the players the Celtics draft with the 30th and 60th picks...
