Ok…Parental leave over...back to reality…here’s my belated draft thoughts…

Wow…I’m about to praise Danny Ainge…so your franchise player Paul Pierce needs a sidekick…how about Ray Allen? He’s only league's best jump shooter with in the gym range…he’ll turn 32 next month and will open up the paint for Pierce in the mid range and Al Jefferson in the post…plus they got rid of Wally Szcerofihdfkjhbewybiak, who sucks and is a locker room cancer and Delonte West's who can go with the emergence of Rajon Rondo…then they pluck USC PG Gabe Pruitt and PF Glen "Big Baby" Davis…plus they don’t give up uber-athletic SF Gerald Green…great draft…

Did MJ just trade Brendan Wright for a broken down Jason Richardson? Yikes…I hear J-Rich’s knee will never be better…oh, and if Gerald Wallace does not re-sign, there could be trouble…

Funniest thing in the draft…the Pacers, who had no picks traded into the 2ND round to pick a guy named Stanko…

The Nets picking 6’10” C Sean Williams formerly of Boston College is interesting…if it doesn’t pan out he can always get high with PG Marcus Williams and go out an steal some laptops…

How exactly do the Knicks run an offence with Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry both trying to plant themselves in the post? Plus both are black holes on offence and neither guy defends a lick…weird trade…

By drafting Joakim Noah (what was with the clown suit) the Bulls now have 3 guys (Noah, Ben Wallace and Tyrus Thomas) that if you locked them in the gym by themselves for a week, could not make an unguarded 8-foot jumper…

Al Thornton welcome to the Clippers…Corey Maggette welcome to the trading block…
