OT-NBA Draft 7PM ET on ESPN
The NBA draft is tonight! There are many rumored trades, a lot of smoke screens, and virtually no way to predict what's going to happen tonight. Come here and share your hopeful picks for the Pistons or whatever team you may follow!
Until then, here are some mock drafts by some respected sources:

OMG SHIRTLESS.
Finally, here's a link to my fledgling blawg that has a few draft posts already. http://www.getsomepistons.com
I plan on posting 2-3 solid posts today and then a Hello post for each draft pick. Tomorrow I'll grade the draft. After that, things will slow down immensely and there's not much to talk about besides the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.
Jazz are allegedly making a push for the #8 draft pick so they can draft Jimmer.
I think we are going to see a lot of action at 8 with the trade that was made. For sure, we will be hearing from the jazz and Rockets, probably Spurs as well. Teams seem to be willing to trade up for Jimmer, Thompson, and Jonas. Let's trade back and get two role players in this weak draft.
Also, salary dumping Richard Hamilton to the Cavs for #8 is back on.
And oh, shit, you had a thread on the draft. I checked the front page, but there wasn't any.

<br>We just have to work on your timing. I know you're excited, but even in June a post that early in the morning isn't making it 12 hours in the front page. ;-)
