Look, Nuggets vs. Lakers has been beaten to death over the last 48 hours. Will the Lakers play with some heart in this series? Are the Nuggets ready to dethrone the Western kings? Is Melo now in the same breath as Kobe, LeBron, and D-Wade? Is Bynum healthy?
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...
If you've been paying attention around here on ETSF you should already know a couple of things on how I feel about this situation.
1. Ed really dislikes the Lakers
2. Ed really Really dislikes Kobe Bryant
3. Ed really Really REALLY dislikes folks that are overhyped Lakers fans who have absurd reasons on why they like Kobe Bryant. (This rule also applies to folks who dislike the Lakers and have absurd reasons on why they dislike Kobe too)
Now...
The fact of the matter is, there's another game going on this evening. The Blake Griffin Sweepstakes, or whats more commonly known as the NBA Draft Lottery. If you're not aware, the Draft Lottery basically gives each of the non-playoff teams a chance to reverse their suckitude and getting a stud player in the draft.
However, after thinking of the absurdity of a "Draft Lottery" I came up with a striking parallel of this event.
NBA Draft Lottery = Banks and Car Makers Receiving Bailout Money
Yeah, I said it.
Anyway, as you also may know, I am a card-carrying member of the Light Skinned Coalition and my homestate just so happens to be Oklahoma as well. (BOOMER SOONER, thank you) So the destination of Blake is somewhat near and dear to my heart. NH. For the sake of great basketball being played around the world, lets hope that Mr. Griffin doesn't land in Sacramento, LA Clippers, or Memphis. Let a decent team like uhhhh...the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER get him! WOOOOOOOO!!! Ok sorry, I got excited. Or even the DC Wizards, my boy Average Bro wants this to happen so bad. Let's hope he goes to the Thunder. LOL.
Anyway, what team would benefit from Blake the most? What about Ricky Rubio? Thabeet? Harden? Brandon "I Left High School to wear Gucci all day" Jennings? Let us know!

8 Responses to "The Blake Griffin Sweepstakes Are Here!"I really don't have an opinion on this one. If he goes to DC their will be a little bit of a glut at the Forward position.
In OK he could have that "Lebron" impact by basically staying home. I think I'd like to see that, I'm sure Ed would too.
If Griffin comes to DC, he'll initially come off the bench until they are sure he and Jamison can't co-exist. Playing Caron Butler at the 2 isn't an option. He failed miserably there last season.
I think this dude is Kenyon Martin, pre-injuries and lip tattoo on neck. He can make a team immediately better because he's all back to basket.
I just need to ping pong balls to bounce the right way.
I'm hoping the lottery goes the Wizards way also. However, this is a franchise that has had a black cloud over it for years. I wouldn't be surprised if Blake Griffin doesn't end up with the Wizards, based on their franchise's bad luck.
Even if they get him though, he won't solve all their problems.
I agree that anyone who gets drafted by the train wreck known as the Clippers deserves our sympathy. However, I don't think Sactown and Memphis should be thrown in the mix.
Sacramento has had great fans and will support a team if they get rolling. Much like Portland, they're the only game in town.
Memphis is showing some signs of life as well. Good young nucleus there. Griffin would fit in well.

Washington Wizard could use him the most!!!
The Clips don't need BGriff. They have Thornton, Kaman, and Camby.
