Draftexpress.net is reporting the Kevin Durant will announce that he will declaring himself eligible for the NBA draft sometime mid-next week. This development should come as a surprise to no one as the future superstar is projected to be a top-two pick in the upcoming draft.
Thanks for the memories, KD. Here comes the tank-a-thon from teams like the Celts and Griz.
Does anyone really think the lottery is deterring teams from sitting their star players for the season as a tactic to increase their odds? Stats guru John Hollinger has provided evidence that no competitive advantage can be acheived through this strategy. Furthermore, based on his superb research, the only thing it's going to do is turn off an already irritated fanbase for the remainder of the season. As an old school Mavericks fan, I remember sitting through the horrid 15 - 20 win seasons and the notion of them trying to be worse didn't make me want to run out and buy more tickets.
Particularly in this year's draft, we have no idea if Brandon Wright is the next Bosh or maybe Horford is going to terrorize defenses like a Randolph (without the drama) or J. O'Neal. With a draft that appears so deep, just play out the games guys!
The clock is ticking Oden....Hope you enjoyed college because play time's over.
