Belinelli has started quite a few games on a playoff bound team this year. That is more than can be said about anyone else who is available.

Brooks and Belinelli have started effectively at times. Rudy is a good bench player. I don't think it is clear cut but I don't think Rudy has been horribly screwed here either.

It'll be interesting to compare this draft to 2007. I think this years will be a normal down draft. Not the epic disaster that is being spoken about. The ESPN moron's always rate a draft by the #1 and #2 guys. It is a very poor measure. When I look way back at drafts it is very usually to just see 5-6 guys of note. That is definitely true of 2007 and will probably be true of 2011. The random great drafts in recent memory are more the outliers.

Yeah, but what if Barnes, Irving, and/or Sullinger all stay in school!? Then it would be epic disaster draft. Who would we pick? Who would we even want???

In this case, give it to the Clippers, please!

Derrick Williams. Fit or not. Stud.

But if we arent in a position to get Barnes, Williams or a short list of other players we can collectively debate, I'll say again: it's time to trade the pick for veteran talent. That has slowly become a bit of a modern rebuild method and it has proven effective. we do not need another rookie.

What teams could we trade with?

A couple that come to mind after little thought who may be in a position to trade/start a mini youth movement. No thought as put in to determining potential trade scenarios/best fit:

For sures: Indy, Atlanta, Denver, Utah, Detroit, Memphis (only put them here b/c of the Mayo incident)
Maybes: Milwaukee, Golden State, Houston,
Probably before too long: Lakers, Spurs, Mavs
Probably not: Philly (Iggy), every other contending team

2. Al Horford
3. Joakim Noah
4. Mike Conley
5. Marc Gasol
6. Aaron Afflalo
7. Jeff Green
8. Rodney Stuckey

10. Glen Davis
11. Ramon Sessions
12. Wilson Chandler
13. Carl Landry
14. Nick Young
15. Tiago Splitter
16. Corey Brewer
17. Jared Dudley
18. Aaron Brooks
19. Marco Belinelli
20. Giorgos Printezis
21. Rudy Fernandez
22. Greg Oden

At this point his .25 of available time still puts him ahead of everyone else.
