    Not with our first pick of course but with any remaining picks that we have? If we trade Cato we need somebody to replace him and there is a chance Hakeem won't be healthy all season.

    I think we should pick a center in the second round. Probably Jabari Smith will be there and we can get him.

    Smith may not be available in the 2nd round. There has been talk that the Lakers are interested in him as a backup to O'Neal. Not that you can trust anything you hear at this point.

    If Jabari gets past LA, we'd have a good shot at him (and if we got Swift, it'd be nice to add Jabari too).

    A good choice may be Dan McClintock (something like that). A 7'0'' with a vertical over 30 inches. He's not very talented, but a think could be a 2nd round gamble. Or maybe take a chance on a guy like Yao Ming.

    Also, he's from Northern Arizona.

    If we were to get Detroit's #15, or Phoenix's (from Orlando), I'd like to see us maybe grab Ernest Brown.
