NBA DRAFT RECAP........a lot of SURPRISES......some questionable TRADES......Winners....and LOSERS on DRAFT NIGHT

The NBA DRAFT last night was like no other in the PAST with the LOCKOUT LOOMING and uncertainty everywhere TEAMS went for their MAN........and I GOT HIM......at least you hear all teams use the same spill.

Let's take a look at the WINNERS and LOSERS on Draft DAY:

WINNERS:

1. Cleveland CAVALIERS- They get their GUY PG Kyrie IRVING but Tristan THOMPSON at #4 is a stretch to say the least. Isn't he the same guy as JJ HICKSON or am I kidding myself.

2. Detroit PISTONS-JOE D has PG Brandon KNIGHT fall to him and wastes no time. Then they get Kyle SINGLER and Vernon MACKLIN in the 2nd Round.........GREAT JOB the D

3. They will spend $20 Million for MAGGETTE but they get Bismack BIYAMBO and Kemba WALKER to start righting the SHIP for JORDAN......HIS BEST DRAFT to DATE by far

4. Washington WIZARDS-They get EURO Product Jan VESELY to get even more athletic with JOHN WALL running the show. Then they add another WF in Chris SINGLETON. the WIZ will be a FUN team to watch next year.

5. Houston ROCKETS-They trade away alot of CAP and get FLYNN and MONTIEJUNAS. They they go get Marcus MORRIS who fell to them at #15..........good for H-TOWN.

6. Miami HEAT-they get Norris COLE who is a very good PG who I think a lot of teams missed. With really no CAP SPACE or High Draft Pick the HEAT still manage to get an A.

LOSERS:

1. Toronto RAPTORS-they need help at the PG like YESTERDAY....and they go get a EURO BIG....which is cool....but based on NEED they struck out at least for now. especially with KNIGHT and WALKER right there.

2. Phoenix SUNS- Markieff MORRIS with all those players left on the BOARD.....the SUNS need immediate help at PG with NASH getting old and at the 2.......they get an D-

3. Portland TRAILBLAZERS-They swap Rudy Fernandez to the MAVERICKS for Jordan HAMILTON.....UHHHHH.....but they get FELTON from DENVER........They could have done better.

4. New York KNICKS-they don't get it....is JAMES DOLAN making all the PICKS....who signed off on this SH**.........Iman SHUMPERT......will give you 32 in one game and 32 Turnovers the next.....a freakish 6'6" Combo G.......and that's it......KNICKS then go get Kentucky's Josh HARRELLSON.......WHY.......SPIKE needs to start making picks NOW.

5. UTAH JAZZ-Still they could go either way but right now an L.......Kanter.......and BURKS........#3 and #12......LOOK what was on the BOARD at the TIME and you see why.....they needed a PG and KNIGHT was right there.

6. San Antonio SPURS-Are they having a Fire SALE.......Unloading or trying to unload Key Parts of ROSTER.......2011 Draft PIcks......get a C-


A GRADES

Dallas MAVERICKS- At this point to add a guy like Rudy FERNANDEZ to your roaster and give up nothing on your roster...WOW....MAVS have to be the PICK in the WEST right now

Golden STATE Warriors- A back court of CURRY, ELLIS(for now), and KLAY THOMPSON.........Firepower for Mark JACKSON.

Chicago BULLS- Stay relatively quiet and get Jimmy BUTLER who is a PLAYER that truely fits the BULLS SYSTEM...and Malcolm LEE the lone 2nd round pick has a chance.
