A.  DX has better servers and a better set up than RealGM

Actually, RealGM has 6 servers.  DX has two.  And DX actually only has two because I "borrowed" one from work to use as a squid image cache for draft night.

The real difference is that DX has a professional linux sysadmin and dba, and realgm doesn't.  I've optimized the *shit* out of DraftExpress.  90% of queries are hitting the query cache, and 99% of the queries that don't hit the image cache are hitting indexes.  You can literally count the # of sequential scans being performed on the DX database on your hands.  We also (probably, I don't know RealGM's disk configuration) disk configuration that's allowing 1500 queries/second to only have a 0.3 iowait.

(sorry for boring down the board with technical mumbo jumbo).

So the solution is you should offer your highly skilled (and costly) services to realgm...because it's quite embarassing that they go down every draft night :)

I'm much more a fan of DX than RealGM.  I don't have time to admin 2 very busy sites pro-bonno :)

The Blazers needed a PG out of this draft. Maybe they're trying to trade with the Pacers since that could make some sense.

When did brandon roy stop being a point guard?

They can have andre miller if they want

The Portland Youngins select brandon rush?

Wow. Rush went #13. That makes a bit of sense since Rush could fit in real nicely with Portland's players.

Rush.

Wow.

I'd now LOVE to pick up another late teens/early 20's pick.  The odds of one of two big men prospects making it is much better than 1 big man prospect making it.

Not a bad pick.  He can spread the floor.  Good to have with a penetrator like Roy and someone like Oden who will most likely be able to demand double teams.

The one possibility is GSW.  If he doesn't go there, he won't go 15 IMO.

(that's opinion, not info).

Jason Thompson was the best big man the kings worked out

Did they not work out any others?  I mean i like the kid - but what the heck
