1. Portland
One player does not solve the problems that they have. While drafting a marque player like Greg Oden could give you a franchise player to build around, you haven’t had a good draft history. The last draft pick you got that was dynamic was Clyde Drexler in 83. Having said that you have probably positioned yourself so you cannot trade. You need to spend money in free agency to pick up some supporting cast. If Greg Oden is playing along he will fail. He is not that much of a dynamic offensive player yet.
2. Seattle
Kevin Durant is perfect for you. I mean perfect. He is a tall offensive savant to complement and take some of the offensive weight off of Ray Allen. If this team is even moderately coached they are a play off team. Even if you had the first choice you should pass on Greg Oden. You need to win and now. Ray Allen isn’t getting any younger.
3. Atlanta
Unless God is in this years draft you are not going to improve. Taking the firs overall draft pick from you was kind of mean. You guys need to start rebuilding. I have no idea what you should do. Perhaps the tall dude from China, if he is a franchise player level. Oh, no wait. I totally know what you need to do. Spend some money and get some good players. Childress can dunk but he cannot beat a team by himself
4. Memphis
With Pau Gasol healthy you guys should be pretty good. Tell Mike Miller to shoot about half the shots he takes unless he is on fire and draft a shooting guard. You are not a young team so if you don’t think you can come up with a valid shooter in the draft trade and get him or do the free agency thing. Isn’t there a shooting guard from Florida in the Draft? Just saying is all.
5. Boston
You need a center and for Paul Pierce to make a higher percentage of his shots. Also you need a coach who actually coaches the game. Watching this team play with the same jersey style as the Bird/Perish era is a slap in the face to team basketball. I have heard of the triangle offense but what exactly is the “spread the floor so Peirce and either drive or pull up for a highly contested shot” offense. There are some decent players on the team. Get Larry Brown to coach them and then you are in the playoffs.
6. Milwaukee
You are on the cusp of being a great team. Keep Andrew Bogut healthy and Michael Redd happy and you will be decent. You need to add another offensive threat and a good lock-down defender. Then you will be a strong team.
7. Minnesota
Where to start? I don’t think KG will be there next year. Which is sad because he has been so faithful for so many years. First off get rid of Kevin McHale. His career there is highlighted by drafting the best player in the draft and cheating for Joe Smith. My niece who hadn’t even been born at the time could have matched that. Start rebuilding.
8. Charlotte
The team is going well for you guys so far. Keep it up. You have drafted well in the past and it should continue.
9. Chicago from New York
Trade the pick. Package this draft pick with Duhon and maybe Deng and pick up KG. You will win the Eastern Conference and possibly the NBA Championship within 2 years. He is what you need. Don’t trade Deng if you don’t have to. Also for Minnesota the trade would be good because with 2 draft picks and a good player they could start rebuilding. Whatever you do make sure that you end up with KG. If he goes anywhere else you are stupid.
10. Sacramento
It is clearly rebuilding time. I think that you have gotten rid of Ron Artest yet or not but you should. Great basketball player. A lot of personal issues. Other than that just find yourself a franchise player and rebuild. You have a great team in the toughest conference in basketball for many years.

sports suck.
When said sports are played in the mud and or wild animals are involved or at the very least some form of fire. . .let me know.
You do forget that sometimes NBA players get in shootouts.
