Well, at least we're better off than the Sports Guy...

Our take on last night's NBA Draft in 10 quick thoughts:

1.) The Blazers would be a Finals team right now - if they played in the East.
- Seriously, Oden and Roy are as good as you'll find at their age and, considering the premium placed on the positions they play, how can you argue with GM Kevin Pritchard's thinking? We'll even forgive him for giving away Randolph to the Knicks for Channing Frye and a Snickers.

2.) The Sonics duped the Celtics - big time.
- Giving away an aging star - who's coming off ankle surgery, btw - for one in the making (Jeff Green) and a couple bit players who might help you win this year is always nice. Oh, and they got the guy who'll keep the team in Seattle with the number two pick. Excellent.

3.) The Hawks made the safe, uninspired, yet correct choice.
- Billy Knight got the point guard he's been missing (Acie Law IV) and a power forward who should be a 20-10 guy in the East in a few years (Al Horford). Atlanta's still a couple seasons away from making any noise, but they didn't set themselves back at all last night. That's a step in the right direction.

4.) Milwaukee is Benoit-style crazy if they think Yi is going to play there.
- Yi will never step on the court for a regular-season game wearing a Bucks jersey. Mark it down. Here's hoping they had that in mind when they sent that card up to Stern.

5.) MJ still can't run a draft.
- Jason Richardson, huh? Because that's just what this team needs. Stephen A. Smith nearly collapsed when this one was announced.

6.) The Bulls didn't get who we wanted, but we had no idea who we wanted.
- Noah would have been the top pick had he come out last year, so you could say it's a steal. But what the hell do the Bulls need him for? How many points is he going to score? What kind of difference does he make? How different is he from Ty Thomas? Too many questions, we say. But, then again, we could be the Celtics.

7.) Ray Allen is a Celtic. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce in the same lineup.
- Now this was funny. Reading this, and laughing at his pain was just as funny.

8.) The Kings have Spencer Hawes and Brad Miller.
- Apparently, you can't run casinos and NBA franchises at the same time, or else you end up with a slew of tall, ineffective white men.

9.) The Clippers didn't take Nick Young.
- We thought he would have been great there. Al Thornton will be solid, but how can you pass on the USC guy there?

10.) The Phoenix Suns can't...afford...anyone.
- Alando Tucker in the first round? Seems a bit high to us. Doesn't Phoenix already have enough scoring off the bench?
