Great post. I was actually about to ask for someone to do this, but I wasn't sure where to ask for it. Thank you, Douglar.
I loved that trade at the time Grant made it because it was pretty obvious Howard was going to be gone and their team was going to be in the toilet. Don't we have their second rounder in 2014 or 2015 too?
The ultimate irony here is that Orlando waived Justin Harper over the weekend. Now they have to give up two low 30's picks and they have nothing to show for it.
I remember this board in upheaval when Grant traded that pick. If I'm not mistaken, this board wanted, so badly, to have Tyler Honeycutt... Nobody drafted below Harper turned into much thus far. I'd rather have the picks now than then. Great call by Grant.
Go KINGS!!!

When we made the Sessions trade last year, it seemed the Lakers were poised for stagnation and their pick might not be a complete throwaway next year. Now the choice between Heat/Lakers seems like it will be negligible. Damn big market teams!
I don't think we'll really get to the end of those debates until Drummond hits his 25th birthday.
I think we should start the Cavs line at 15, since our goal is to make the playoffs. Eff what last years' numbers say.

The only "vocal draft gripers" since the Luke Jackson pick who have been vindicated were the crew that wanted Dejaun Blair over Eyenga. Maybe the people that wanted Koufos or Arthur instead of Hickson had a legit gripe, but 1) it sure didn't look that way in the 09-10 season, and 2) Batum, Hill, & Ibaka were probably the best choices and nobody was pimping them in June 2008.
your gonna have a bad time this season
Most rankings I have seen have us slotted at 28, so I think 9 is generous.
