Kinda interesting. Seems like an upbeat guy. Even addresses the dissing he’s attracted, though only barely (takes the high road and ignores). Follows KD – hmmm… (course, a lot of people do)

Jax Raging Bile Duct :Mostly run of the mill. I was disappointed to see this though… Jeremy (Rochester, NY)In your opinion, who is the best player besides yourself in the draft? Blake Griffin Stephen Curry … just because Kev’s bromance with Curry is already bordering on ridiculous, and I’m sure this only encourages him.

he he, and you thought I was the only one that was delusional . . .

@Cpt. C-Note That would be outstanding. I love Ty Lawson. Taking Harden and Lawson would be a dream draft.

@soundguy We need Harden. If we take RR and move RW to the 2 then we will make no three's and we will make SB's hair fall out.

I just saw the NBADraft.net’s updated mock.
They have Ty Lawson falling to us(OKC) at 25!! That mean’s he’s like the 7th or 8th best point guard on the big-board? I love Rubio, Flynn, and Curry, but after that I think Lawson is right there.
Does anybody think that Lawson could fall THAT far down the board? (It wouldn’t hurt my feelings. What a value! remember we took Serge Ibanka near that spot last year.)

If Rubio is available, I think we should take him and keep him. After viewing his highlight videos on YouTube, I think he has amazing court vision combined with passing ability. He raises the level of play of everyone on the court. We need more easy baskets – last year’s team worked very hard to score on a consistent basis. RR is the answer. Here is a question I asked myself – if Westbrook plays PG exclusively for the next 5 seasons, will he develop passing skills similar to what RR has as an 18-year old kid? Sadly, my reply was “no”. Sadly, because I really like #00.
I actually remember when Pistol Pete came into the NBA. His rookie year, he had a ton of turnovers because his Hawk teammates fumbled away about half of the show-stopping passes directed their way. RR is not PP – he isn’t close to the scoring threat – but he exhibits court vision and passing skills that remind me of the Pistol.
Draft RR @ PG. Move #00 to SG and back-up PG. Run the ball off every missed shot. Get easy baskets. Score more points. Pressure opponents into mistakes because they get mangled by 10 – 15 point runs. Win more games.
