Big swing pick

Awwwww gawd ........ awful pick by Seattle. Horrific. Westbrook. Terrible.

I'm devastated for Kevin Durant. He'll have his second straight year of having the most limited teammates as his supporting cast.

it's likely that they're moving it.
They've been strongly linked to Westbrook for days now. They were reportedly blown away by him.

Maybe the make the trade but it looks more likely to be their pick to me.

It also makes sense that they were willing to trade down for him.

I like Westbrook a lot. Westbrook and Durant should compliment each other really well. He plays with fire and can lock down on defense.

Kevin Love is a fantastic pick. He's going to be a very good NBA player. Third best player in the draft.

I was kind of hoping Love would slip to #6 and have the cameras be on Spike Lee when the Knicks took him. Mo better Blues

expected pick, it just didnt make sense they would pick someone to replace darko.

I think Danilo Gallinari is the 3rd best player in this draft. I hope NY does not realize this. :)
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

That would have been a very interesting combination to see.

Doris is wrecking my head. Stop with the teary eyed reporting when talking to the parents. Just stop talking to the parents period. Nobody gives a toss what they have to say.
