Random Thoughts from Jack Paxson

If my brother John believes that Yi is the answer, and sees fit to trade up for him, I'm cool with that. Otherwise, I trust my bro to decide between Joakim Noah or Brandan Wright.

I've soured on Hawes because his stock is slipping, and Hollinger's ratings peg him as a bust.  

As long as there's SOMEBODY new on my brother's roster through pick or trade who's 6-9 or taller, and not named Spencer Hawes.  If there's a curveball pick at # 9, I bet Johnny's got a trade worked out with someone.  Zach Randolph?  Marcus Camby?  Kobe?  The undead KG trade???  

Having Duhon gone by the end of the night would be a welcomed sight.  Duhon for a late first??  San Antonio, maybe?

I'd be intrigued if big brother picked up Big Baby later on.  He could reunite with Tyrus, or just flame out like Sweets.

Anyway, I'm excited... unless John picks Spencer Hawes and stands pat.  Blechk.
