Who Would President Obama Choose?

in NBA Draft

PrintOne of the benefits of having billionaire playboy owners is that, well, they're famous. Famous people all know each other. So you get gossip column entries in which the brother of the managing partners asks the President of the United States who the team should draft.
Take it away, one-eyed Las Vegas gossip queen NORM!:
George Maloof, owner of the Palms hotel-casino, invited [President Barack] Obama to stay at the hotel's Hardwood Suites, where everyone from George Clooney to Shaquille O'Neal and Britney Spears to Kid Rock have shot baskets. [...]
"Phil [Maloof] asked him who we (the Maloof-owned Sacramento Kings) should take in the NBA draft," George Maloof said. "He liked Blake Griffin, of course; (Hasheem) Thabeet from Connecticut and he loved the kid from Memphis -- Tyreke Evans," the consensus national freshman of the year choice.
Assuming Griffin and Thabeet have left the board by pick No. 4, I think that's a resounding endorsement for Evans. Spain, however, is not going to be happy about this.

Isn't it obvious that Obama's nomination of Sotamayor for Supreme Court
is his way of making up to the Hispanic community after the insult to Ricky Rubio? That has to be it.

Rubio is an unproven commodity at this point

Evans definitely could be a star in the league.
If Petrie takes him at 4 I wouldn’t be disappointed… a month more of draft speculation is going to be rough.
I also wonder if they are planning on hiring the coach before the draft and whether they want the input of said coach for the draft. Coaches like Rambis and Jordan have a similar offensive philosophy to Petrie, but other coaches may want different personnel.

Note
I swear on all that is Holy (i.e. Kevin Martin’s jumpshot), I will ban the next troll who comes in here spouting off about politics with no attempt at subtlety. See how Kusian did it above? Subtle. I disagree wholeheartedly, but it’s subtle enough not to incite a flame war.
I don’t care how popular you are on other fan sites. Pull that shit here and meet the Sactown Guillotine.
Dammit
I can’t hate Barack anymore? Dammit!

I know what you meant
I just want to be pretty clear as to why a substantial portion of this thread was deleted.
Oh okay
I never saw it so that’s that. My bad TZ.

You didn't miss much

I have an idea
Maybe Phil can get Obama to issue an Executive Order forbidding Memphis and OKC from drafting Rubio.

Sorry...
For the drama. I guess I fail to see why it is newsworthy why it matters who Obama thinks is good in a mock draft, or mocks or BCS or what not. That’s more the stem of my previous comments.
