Rumors aren’t always true? No way!
Finally. Finally! In a little more than 12 hours from now, the draft happens and we can all move on with our lives. With two perceived course of the future altering forces about to go #1 and #2, and the possibility of all those too crazy to be true trades out there, we need closure. Is using a war reference in the title of this post not serious enough to convey the importance of tonight’s events? Perhaps. False rumors will fall by the wayside. The truth will come out, sort of. Hopefully.
The Amare-KG-Hawks deal is turning out to be one of wild speculation. Or is it? Was it? Have the Hawks really been Belkined again? There are more questions than answers. Are the Mavs about to trade Devin Harris to the Bucks for the #6 pick? Who has been the suspiciously quiet team that is about to come out of nowhere and pull off the shocking mega deal? Who can lie with the straightest face? Does anybody know anything?
The one thing we definitively know about tonight is ironically the question that everyone has been obsessed with for months. Durant or Oden? Well, it’s going to be Oden then Durant. That was fun.
I haven’t mentioned LOST on this site since the season finale, but the season of rumors has been a lot like LOST. At the time, you have no idea what’s going on and you live in fear that something shocking or cataclysmic could happen at any moment. But then, after whatever happens, you can look back and see what you should have paid attention to or ignored all along. In other words, it’s all about hindsight. 20/20.
Here’s your moment of levity funny but sad draft related news of the day. Big Baby!
We will have more stuff today, attend the draft tonight and cover it accordingly, deal with the aftermath tomorrow, and then…

Great story, huh?
And admit it, your heart beats a little faster when you see Paul Rudd.
Also, in my experience with people from other media outlets, it’s just like a big high school cafeteria. Lots of cliques and some mingling.

Cheryl I assume you’re reacting to the Kobe video,if so I second that.
Ryan:Are you gay with Maggie Gyllenhall?
And Ryan, kidding, and I bet that gold plated copy of Strip Search you have can prove her womanhood.
And Ryan if its Maggie you like Strip Search is the movie for you.
@Izzo - I have some magic beans i would like to sell you.
Great acronyms everyone. You all owe money to the D.A.Y.
P.s. Is Russ doing his Draftashamokery thing tonight?
Greg Oden’s agent and Portland’s general manager refuted an ESPN report Wednesday that said Oden’s camp had been informed the former Ohio State phenom will be the top pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft. “We haven’t been told that,” Mike Conley, Sr. told The Oregonian late Wednesday night. “(ESPN) can have their opinion, but the Blazers haven’t told us anything.” The Oregonian report said Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard was “emphatic” that the ESPN report was premature. “Nobody has been promised or told anything. Nobody,” Pritchard told the paper.
@Dennard: I heard a couple of days ago on ESPN that Brandon Rush had not pulled himself out of the draft. I guess that the @$$holes from ESPN just made ANOTHER mistake.
@bakers’ dozen: how much do you think the 54th pick is worth? Maybe a couple of G’s, if not less. The Magic will give that money to D. Howard and he will go to a stripe club and make it rain, like Pacman Jones.
Remember Manu “flop daddy” ginobili? He went number 57. In all reality, I see Orlando trading 54 and 37 (or whtaever they ahve in the second round) to try and move closer to the top fo the second, or package with something else to get into round uno.
Chukaz, you have taken the irrelevant comment to new heights.
We really are going to have to give him his own column, aren’t we?
(A). Ryan Jones (what an idiot!!!)
(B). Clay Davis (the worse F*cking name)
(C).Toney Blare(who is that guy!!)
(D).jbn74sb (probably a homo)
Well theres no losers here were all winner in slamland!!…hahaha
