Where's Russ Granik?

OK, we realize Adam Silver is coming out to read the second round picks.  We can no longer pretend we don't know this.

However, since this little weasel fine fellow will likely be the NBA commissioner soon, we will instead use this space to plead with this jackass fair and reasonable leader to bring back the great Russ Granik to do what he was put on this Earth to do.

So if you know Adam Silver and he hasn't yet violently murdered your family pet  please pass this message to him.

Thanks for your time.

WRG Mock Draft #30: Cleveland Cavaliers

There is no Cavaliers anymore. There is only LeBron.

He ate our franchise. Every decision we make, every second we waste, every dollar we commit relates directly to our ultimate ability to remain daily Witnesses.

So there are two roads to take here. We can take a young guy with potential and hedge a little so we still have some players on our team under thirty if LeBron bolts. That's risky because it's money we are spending that has nothing to do with getting the King to his rightful place above all others, ruling the world.

Or we could stash or trade the pick so we can focus every resource on bringing people in here that can get help our guy get where he is bent on going. The problem with that is that we don't want to be paying tax on an old, expensive losing team with no hope of improving should LeBron leave.

What we are going to do is get a player here that we think can turn into a decent scorer - both down low and on the perimeter. A young, hard-working, versitile big man that - unlike others we were considering with this pick - has legitimate size for the PF position. We believe he can give our team an added dimension we are seriously lacking.

Our pick is Jeff Pendergraph, who would have to lock LeBron in his trunk to be any factor in keeping him in town, but we feel is a step in the direction of reclaiming our franchise from the ravaging monster that has all but consumed it.

And if we and do that, we like our chances of keeping that big, bad all-consuming meanie in town.

"Number 4 sucks! I demand number 23!"

That concludes the first round of the draft.

I'd like to introduce Ru--

Huh? Who the hell is ADAM SILVER??!!
