New Orleans moved down to No. 17 this week, and atop their draft board: Trey Murphy.


Trey has been linked to us for some time. If he really was the guy that we wanted, I assume we would have taken him at 10. Props to Griff, especially after hearing what the Kings were offering the Grizz. We got off of two terrible contracts, picked up the perfect center to pair with Zion, still got our guy at a lower salary slot, made a cool 2 mil for Mrs B, and it only costs us the Lakers' first, which will probably be in the 26-30 range next year.

That post was right before our pick, so he is saying he was atop our board at that time. In Langdon's PC someone asked it they would have targetted Murphy at 10 and he said he would not say that, but they did have him rated higher than where they got him. He said there were a couple of other players they thought could make it to them at 17 that went right before, and they were happy to get Trey. My guess is those players were Moody and Kispert.
