McHale will *fudge* it up for us one way or another.

The Spurs sent an e-mail to every team in the league at 3:30 p.m. saying that they were willing to move the 26th pick. The e-mail asked league executives to "E-mail us your interest and your offers to 26."

That's the first time I've heard of something like this in all of my years covering the draft.

i guess they generally like their core, think they have 1-2 more legit runs in them with maybe 1-2 role players brought on

And the Jazz draft another big doofy white Euro, presumably under the theory of "can't teach height." How's that theory worked out for the Jazz in the draft so far? Not well.

both are extremely overrated pieces of *feces* not worthy of a top 10 pick.

Agreed.  But as per usual, we pick 3rd in a 2 man draft.  Should have traded down to 18 or 20 to get them.  But, we also eat pieces of *feces* for breakfast.

looking good in the pus-10 is one thing.  look at their performances in the ncaa tourney. schooled.  slow, unathletic, and weak.

CDR has a chance to make a lot of teams look bad. I'm curious why he fell so far.

Let's review McHale's draft day trades:

Ray Allen for Stephon Marbury   (Possibly defendable at the time, long-term Boston FTW!)
Brandon Roy for Randy Foye  (Horrible then, horrible now. Roy is a stud and Foye is still struggling)

Now Mayo for Love. We'll see. I do like other parts of this trade thought. Dumping Jaric's TERRIBLE contract (McHale's doing) and getting rid of Antoine Walker and getting Mike Miller in return.

So, Mayo-Jaric-Walker-Buckner for Love-Miller-Collins-Cardinal appears to be a good move right now. I have no idea what Chris Wallace in Memphis was doing by agreeing to take Jaric's contract and Walker. Except for battling McHale for the title of "NBA's worst GM".

did we watch the same ucla-memphis game, where love played against nba-caliber athletes (not even necessarily nba caliber player-athletes) and was practically embarassed off the court ?  ;)

Excellent post.  Agreed on all points.

I know I said we should have taken Love but......

Ah grashopper, you need to read my whole post. It's much more than Love. We are usually on the other side of dumping the *feces* (Jaric and Walker).

The trade looks like Miller and Love for Mayo. As I said, we'll see. Mayo doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me as a leader. But who knows, the Wolves are involved so he'll end up being a star.
