OKC gets the 3rd pick in the draft and Thabeet seems to be consensus third pick.
Thoughts?

I don't like Thabeet but it is a good fit.
On another note, would you hold out if you were Blake Griffin? Force a trade? Threaten to play in Europe for a year?
The Clippers are not only awful and full of screwups with no interest in winning, but they are like an automatic knee injury to every recruit.

I would like to hope the Thunder are going to wheel and deal for Blake. Because Jeff will just make Thabeet in practice the bitch that Roy made him for years.

With the Clippers having the first pick, the package would either need to:
a. take back massive bad contracts from the Clippers, which Presti won't do
b. include at least Jeff
c. be a three way trade, which almost certainly includes Jeff and/or Westbrook

OKC does have some first rounders they could throw at the clips, but there is no way Jeff or Westbrook is going to be traded. As for who they draft, if not Thabeet then maybe James Harden. As of right now they don't really have a 2 guard as Durant moved to the 3 and Jeff to the 4. |

I think Harden would be a good fit. Anyone in the backcourt to keep Westbrook from shooting the ball so often.
In other news, Nenad Krstic is only 25?! Seriously?!

The local projection is that Memphis will take Thabeet second (makes sense for them), and that OKC will then take Harden.

I don't even know what to say, can only shake my head. EDIT: There is already a picture of Griffin on the Clips website. I can't guarantee it wasn't there before today, but my guess would be no. |

Maybe the clips can do a pre-draft trade and bring in 3 all-stars ala Celtics w/ KG, Ray Allen, and Peirce...Im sure thats what Griffin is hoping

if hijack-city doesnt trade the pick, it think rubio falls to them, and hed be a great fit, despite these reports that westbrook "really wants to be a point." thats great and all, but youre not. youre an undersized two. deal with it. step aside for the second coming.
