A fan mostly of cricket and basketball. I'm an Aussie so obviously support the Aussies in the cricket. I follow the NBA and support the San Antonio Spurs and the Wollongong Hawks in the NBL I also follow the Knights in the NRL

I really like what Utah did in the draft. Exum and Hood should be good pieces for them. Esp if some team offers Gordan Haywood a contract they can’t beat.

That concludes the 2014 NBA draft.
Some interesting storylines unfolding, I like Chicago’s draft. Looking like making moves to attract LeBron or Carmelo. Got a nice scorer in McDermott and a PF in the Aussie Bairston that can take up the slack when Chicago amnesty Boozer.
Celtics have picked up a couple nice pieces and smart money would be that there are some other moves coming from their front office.
Cleveland alluded late that may have considered trading Wiggins, either way its a nice pick for them.
Charlotte Hornets (formerly the Bobcats) made some nice picks in Vonleh and Hairston adds some good pieces to that team and should help them in a fairly week Eastern Conference.
Magic drafted potentially a starting PG and a nice athletic PF and shed some Cap space with the Afflalo trade poised to make some upgrades.
I like the Spurs pick of Anderson, a good halfcourt system player who averaged a fair share of rebounds and assists in college should fit in nicely there.
With Free Agency looming should be an action packed off season for the NBA

After the draft I think the inside running is Lebron stays in Miami and Chicago ends up with Melo.
But Houston is a dark horse. Morey will move heaven and earth to get one or both of them. Apparently he has moves in place to offload Lin if he gets a guarantee from either of them to clear more space.
As for Love I have no idea. I think Golden State is a good move but I just have this nagging feeling that Boston has some moves in the works. I personally hope that he stays in Minnesota I like the Rubio/Love pairing. But it’s easier to get to the moon than attract free agents to Minneapolis.
