Here's a Guy With a Blog

Tonight is the NBA Draft on ESPN.  The Clippers own the first pick, and the general consensus is that they will take Oklahoma Forward Blake Griffin, who should then flee to Europe so he’ll never have to suit up for the Clippers.  We’re holding out hope that they’ll blow the pick, and take Serbian stiff Sasha Vxbnlkjkljiowueiorjkadshfjahgjgjakljfioich, who averaged 1.7 points and 5.2 fouls a game last year.  And with the second pick, the Grizzlies (Yes, there are Grizzlies in Memphis.  They think the barbecue is delish.) are expected to take Hasheem Thabeet, because the need someone to replace Pau Gasol, who they traded to the Lakers for Nic Cage.  After that, who knows what’s going on.

Another big aspect of the Draft are trades, and this year hasn’t disappointed.  The Bucks traded Richard Jefferson to the Spurs for Bruce Bowen and a bunch of expiring contracts.  The Bucks have taken the sixth pick from a couple years ago, and parlayed it into Bruce Bowen.  Nice work, Milwaukee.  The Timberwolves traded Mike Miller, Randy Foye for a bunch of expiring contracts and the fifth pick in the draft.  They now own four picks in the first round, which would be a lot better if this wasn’t hailed as the worst draft in years.  Good job David Kahn.  David Kahn: making T-Wolves fans long for a sportswriter to be their GM since 2009.  Finally, the Cavs traded Ben Wallace and someone else for Shaq, because what they need is another aging big man who can’t play defense.

Anyways, here’s our mock draft.  Rather than bore you with analysis of who the New Jersey Nets will take, we will bore you with other people’s analysis of who the New Jersey Nets will draft.  There are sixty picks in the draft.  Surely, there are at least 60 mock drafts.  Anyways, join us after the jump for our mock draft mock draft.
