    I think Harden fill the most desperate of all the needs the Thunder had. Seeing what’s happening with Rubio and Minnesota I’m really glad we didn’t take him. I’m not sure about a BJ, a guy didn’t start for a team who couldn’t beat Siena but we’ll see.

    When is opening night? I’m excited.

    Yeah, it turns out that Rubio is actually just a kid who wants to do some window shopping for NBA teams. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on him next year, though, no matter where he plays.

    It looks like the NBA schedule doesn’t get released until at least some time in July, but I couldn’t find more detailed information than that, sadly.

    So now that you’ve seen the draft, what kind of a year do you think we’ll have?

    Hey guys good show, I am really looking forward to the next season. I am happy with the Draft, it was a safe one to say the least, and I want to see how Harden works in with the rest of the guys. Oh and I remember the Hook movie it was a good reimagining of the story. Ruffeo was the kid how took over the lost boys after Peter left Neverland. Hahahaha good stuff guys keep it up.

    Thank you, Ohcan! Michael and Blayne looked at me like I was crazy when I was making this reference! I just may have to post a picture along with that episode :)

    Yeah, this season is shaping up great. I just wonder how active we will be in the free agent market.

    Brent I think I’ll have a better feel of next year after the free agency is all sorted out. I’m anxious to found out if we get Millsap or Verejao, I prefer Millsap of course. However, I’m feeling a last place finish is out of the question, especially when teams like Phoenix and Houston are sliding.
