Was sent an article by my boy Drew written by Chad Ford where he talks about General Managers and executives’ take on prospects and highlighting Brandon Jennings.
“…In early June, there was anything but a consensus on what kind of NBA player he’d become, and NBA executives and scouts traveling to the Reebok Eurocamp were furious [...]

Kudos to Pete Vecsey for flat-out asking Donnie Walsh his preference between Ricky Rubio and Stephen Curry in terms of who he would have drafted had the opportunity presented itself. It was something Alan Hahn has been telling us for some time.
“…”Curry,” Walsh answered when asked whether he would have taken Stephen Curry or Ricky [...]

Update: Source tells me that it’s more Donnie Diligence, in terms of the delay, than trying to make a roster move, although that could happen soon after the offer sheet. The way the deal will be structured will ensure the Bucks don’t match. I really still can’t believe that part.
Via Hahn’s Tweet: “What I have [...]

According to the Pioneer Press, Rick Rubio is prepared to stay overseas, making the choice of drafting Jonny Flynn a huge mistake for David Kahn.
The report was that Rubio was content with the Wolves for about 4 minutes until the drafted Flynn, leading to Rubio’s disgust with Minnesota.
“…The Minnesota Timberwolves’ top draft pick, Ricky Rubio, [...]

Two things of note this morning:

Via the Minnesota Star Tribune is reporting that the Knicks did offer Chandler and 8 to move up for Rubio and the Wolves declined. Why on earth would the Wolves would decline, I have no idea. They also noted that the Knicks had Rubio on top of their list ahead [...]

Kudos to Hahn for adding clarity to the Lee and Nate situations:
“…The Knicks can entertain sign-and-trade discussions involving both Lee and Robinson on July 9, after the seven-day moratorium. There is expected to be a strong market for Lee, who led the NBA with 62 double-doubles, and there are teams with cap space that have [...]

Had the chance to chat up foxsports.com’s Pete Schrager at the draft the other night, as we were posted up right next to each other and all of us kind of scratched our head at James Harden’s getup after he went 3rd to OKC. Everyone seemed surprised that he went with the Diddy butler-look.
Check out [...]

Got an interesting Tweet from “Section 518″ who had a thought that I had on Thursday once I heard that Ty Lawson was traded to Denver.
Walsh loves Lawson, and it may seem that the Rubio deal doesn’t have the right parts. Not sure the Wolves would want David Lee with both Kevin Love and Al [...]

Just wanted to take a second to ask you guys a quick question as I shake off a long evening at Mohegan Sun. You want the quick recap? Got down, went to the ATM, made a huge run, which would have been equivalent of a 20-2 spurt causing several time outs from the other team [...]
