With The First Pick In The 2009 NBA Draft…
While some of the Dime crew is going to be in Secaucus actually watching the ping pong balls drop, I’m heading over to Madison Square Garden to hang with some rabid Knicks fans and see what’s going on as they hope for a repeat of 1985.
In anticipation, my buddy who works for the Knicks sent me this yesterday: “You can blog about being there when we get the first pick!” When I laughed it off and told him there was no way, all he had for me was five words: “I got a funny feeling.”
If that funny feeling was a Top 3 pick or just indigestion, we’ll find out tonight. Come back later as I update y’all about what went down.

David Stern: “With The First Pick In The 2009 NBA Draft… the New York Knicks screw it up by selecting…Ricky Rubio from Spain”.

Nobody, not even Isiah, would be dumb enough to take the guy that killed Harrison Ford’s wife in the fugitive, first.

LOL hell yea bizz, that’ll go down in history… If the Knicks get the #1 they should trade down to a spot they feel they can get Steph and maybe pick up a 2nd 1st rounder. Or package some of that deadweight they have and bring in REAL pieces

a lot of people on the Dime boards are going to be dead wrong about Rubio in a few years when he is averaging 15 assists a game and throwing lobs to Amare left n right

I think I read somewhere today that the Clippers were the worst possible destination for Griffin. Go figure.
Maybe it’s karma from the Elton Brand fiasco. Regardless it is sickening to see the Clips win and the Kings fall to 4th.
Marcus Camby, Z-bo, Boom Dizzle and Kaman should all have the moving company on speed dial ’cause it is time for a new start in Clipperland.
The Clips should draft Blake Griffin, keep Eric Gordon, Al Thornton and Chis Kaman and try to get rid of the rest of this bunch.

flavur says:
Yeah clippers need to first get rid of mike dunleavy then trade chris kaman zach Randolph and marcus camby cus Blake is an impact player so he has to start from day one and knowing mike dunleavy if he’s not fired he’ll limit grffins minutes which will then be increased because zach marcus and kaman will get injured again then come back from injury in time to play the last 10 or 15 games of the season and expect to start “because their vets” and the clippers record will be the same as this seasons or worse.
