A bunch of trades in the draft, especially at the end of the first round and in the second. Some steals in the second round like Solomon Alabi from Florida State, Tiny Gallon from Oklahoma, and Andy Rautins from Syracuse. Rautins getting picked is a good sign for Diebler, I expect him to go in the second round next year. Go Bulls

I realize most don't have a vested interest, but does anyone know if the Lakers' two second round picks are worth anything? Chances of actually being signed? Practice fodder? Just picks to make picks?

I missed the 2nd round. Who did they pick?

Handing out grades for the 2010 NBA draft - NBA News - FOX Sports on MSN

Los Angeles Lakers: A
Picks: Devin Ebanks (43), Derrick Caracter (58)
No team had a better second round, and there's a lot to be said for that. Many question whether Ebanks will ever put it all together, but he has vast potential and should fit right in for a team that could use an athletic defender on the wing. Caracter is the ultimate risk-reward player, with knocks on just about everything players get knocked for but more talent than some NBA starters. At Nos. 43 and 58, respectively, both were great values. What more can you ask for from the defending champs?

Shit. I didn't know until just now that Rautins got taken. Congrats Andy.

Doug Gottlieb was giving the Knicks grief because with the very next pick they took Stanford's Landry Fields, saying "They're the same guy!"

In a Monday radio interview, Charles Barkley said owner opposition to players building super teams is helping pave the way to a lockout. Barkley went on to praise David Stern, but commented the NBA commissioner must do some serious dealing for the season to start without some form of a lockout. "It would take a miracle on (Stern's) part not to have a lockout and I truly believe that," Barkley said. "I think there's going to be a lockout, I think the owners are dug in, I think they want to send a message to these players. I think they're really upset by this LeBron James/Chris Bosh situation, because their teams don't have to be really good, but I feel like if they have a star in their market they can make some money. And if all the stars want to play together ... we're almost becoming like baseball."
