WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #5 Toronto Raptors
Remember the movie "Jurassic Park"?
It was so awesome, right?!
There were dinosaurs running around eating Newman and dogging Jeff Goldblum. The hot, hot Laura Dern provided the eye candy. That glass of water started trembling ominously. It was OFF THE CHAIN!
Then remember how a few years later Canadians thought naming a team after this movie was super cool and they wore purple and didn't play any defense for twenty years?
Yeah. Me, too.
The Raptors take Kawhi Leonard. Stop somebody. Please.

WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #4 Cleveland Cavaliers
We got our man with the first pick, and now we want to hit another home run. We want a big man to pair with our little man. Our fans may curse our former superstar till the day he retires, but they loved the other mainstay of our team, Big Z, so we feel like it would be a disservice to our city to try to replace him with another Lithuanian big man in Jonas Valanciunas. Plus, we don't want to deal with the hassle of his reported buyout.
This leaves another mystery big man. The little that we've watched him play, he's been very impressive. He dominated the Nike Hoops Summit last year, and we are sure he's not another Saer Sene. His coach has nothing but the best to say about him, but he never played. There are questions, and Enes will give us the answers. Kyrie to Enes for the next 10 years? We love it and hope our fans do too.

WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #3 Utah Jazz
We have a core for the future that features a big man and a wing, but no point guard.
We traded our point guard and the Draft Gods bestowed upon us this pick.
We've centered our entire franchise around our point guard for almost thirty years.
We see one really great point guard left in this draft.
The Universe selects Brandon Knight for the Utah Jazz.
Brandon Knight was born to play for the Jazz. Just look at him!

WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #2 Minnesota Timberwolves
So who's the best PG available? Just kidding, this isn't David Kahn.
There's a consensus top two players, and we're picking second. We can screw this up, but we won't, not as long as I'm in charge.
Maybe we trade this pick for some veterans. Maybe we trade Beasley or Love, but with this pick we take the top talent available in Derrick Williams. We need someone who is nasty inside and can instill fear into other teams, because our current front court doesn't exactly have that nasty image.
The Timberwolves select Derrick Williams with the second pick.
The snow comes up to where in Minnesota???

The last time we were in this position, there was no decision to be made.
Whether that was a blessing or a curse will forever be debated by pundits, contemplated by historians and duked out over cold brews at every corner bar from Akron to Zanesville.
What's great about having this pick now is that the flotsam that remains from our last-ditch attempt to keep the last guy will be mostly cleared away by season's end. There's been a year to heal, to go through the five stages of free-agency grief, and we have arrived at acceptance.
We are cleansed, and have emerged clean and new and ready to face the future.
And while we understand that this one will never be as good as the last one, that comes with a small, guilty feeling of relief.
We see a player here we like a whole lot, but we'll never love again.
Not really.
Cleveland selects Kyrie Irving - a beautiful girl, a wonderful mother and a hell of a life partner. We just don't want to die alone.

The 2011 NBA Draft - Feel the Excitement!
Greetings, NBA fans and welcome to June!
You get a week of intense finals basketball when we all get to hop aboard the bandwagon of the Lesser of Two Evils.
After that, we can focus on NBA Christmas, a magical day when Santa Stern and his elfRuss Granik Adam Silver leave some shiny new players under your team's tree.
But who will that be? What will these new guys bring? Can my team finally get rid of those bums holding them back from their rightful place as the Lesser of Two Evils?
That's where the internet comes in. A flotilla of scouts, experts, possible experts, near experts, non-experts, bloggers, paid reporters, columnists, ex-jocks and whoever the hell writes for Bleacher Report meticulously compile every type of information about every eligible player so you can make an informed decision on what your team should do. (And since they won't do anything close to that, you have complaining rights for infinity if they screw it up.)
And once you are done poring through all of that, we at WRG invite you to read our jokey blurbs - plunked out mostly with one hand while eating - and learn what it might really be like to be an NBA GM.
