     After having looked at a few threads, it’s clear that some of you need to vent. I certainly do. Please read my comments, and then just complain about whatever you want. Misery loves company.

    I’m angry. Really angry. Didn’t the basketball Gods know that Derrick Williams and Jimmer Fredette were supposed to play for the Jazz? What on Earth is Kahn going to do with Williams? Oh, I forgot, they needed another forward. Duh. 

    And then there’s the Kings, jacking up our plans to bring the most famous Mormon basketball player EVER home. It would have been perfect. As Bill Simmons said, :I don’t want to live in a world where Jimmer Fredette plays for someone other than the Jazz." Neither do I Bill. 

    I’m angry. We had two lottery picks, and we couldn’t get either guy I really wanted. Alec Burks? Really? Why? I don’t even know what to say. I’m dissapointed.

    I like Jimmer and he would have been a HUGE sell for your Jazz. But don’t downgrade what you potentially have in Burks. I’ll say it now, this guy will be in the consideration for Rookie of the Year. He will play with a chip on his shoulder and because of his solid handling skills and overall good skill set, players like Harris, Millsap, Kanter, and Favors are going to benefit from him. Trust me, you guys could have done MUCH worse

    Kings are pretty big losers in the trade. They get John fucking Salmons and Jimmer…they could have had Brandon Knight! I seriously hope the Kings front office gets fired

    Really mad at the Sixers picks Nikola Vucevic from USC and then they take Lavoy Allen very upset their were good people left on the board and they took them two. A typical 76ers draft

     Kings are just stupid, they get John Salmons and Jimmer Fredette when they could of not made any trades and drafted Brandon Knight.

    Sixers did fine IMO, they needed size and got the biggest guy in the draft with a great skill set.

    Not too big of a complaint, but I can’t believe that the Bobcats pretty much sold Jeremy Tyler to the Warriors…

    You cannot really say that the Kings made a stupid choice just because Knight fell farther than anyone thought possible, it is like saying the Clippers are dumb for trading away their pick in the draft, how were they to know that the 2% chance would come through and make them look bad.

    Jimmer went to one of the places I actually think he will put up decent numbers at because Marcus Thornton who is offense with little defense was putting up 20 point games.  I dont see why Jimmer does do that especially with Salmons and Evans who are pretty decent passers for non point guards.

     Valunciunas – with Knight still on the board and considering all the FA centers hitting the market this summer.

    My vent is for my Thunder. I don’t care if you promised Reggie Jackson a spot 2-3 months ago, with Marshon Brooks and Jordan Hamilton still on the board could have made a good move but didn’t.  I guess this means the Eric Maynor trade rumors are legit, if not then good job Thunder you have 3 backup point guards.

    I love Harrellson. I was dissappointed in the league for not showing a little American pride towards the end there. 🙁

    Agreed the sixers got no value what so ever from this draft.  The USC guy plays just like spencer hawes who is also 6’10.  Id rather go with a high risk/reward pick with jermey tyler than a guy who cant jump over a phone book

    I gotta say, when the ESPN scroll bar came up saying Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace, I almost died. Get him off the Lakers.
