Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

Back to the board: The Bird Machine Edition



Today's ditty is Imitosis, by Chicago artist extraordinaire Andrew Bird.  On the drums is Minneapolis-based multi-instrumentalist Martin Dosh.  His Lost Take album is one of my favorite underrated records of the aughts.

But back to Mr. Bird, he is also a world-class whistler. He also makes great albums.

As for the Wolves, here's how we stand on the Community Draft Board:

  1. John Wall
  2. Evan Turner
  3. Derrick Favors
  4. DeMarcus Cousins
  5. Wes Johnson
  6. Al Faroq Aminu
  7. Greg Monroe
  8. Paul George

I think it's time to move on to #10 SNP

This looks like an early wrap.

Sent the link to Imitosis to a friend in Chicago

He’s got some of Bird’s albums, likes him a lot, so do I.

Thanks for the continued quality music links!

I can't wait for his next album

Until then, check out the guy who does some of his album art, Jay Ryan at the Bird Machine:

I collect poster art and that guy is my favorite.

I know it isn't the point of the thread

but would Utah take Henry before Cole Aldrich?

Probably no

Maybe if they decide to let Kyle Korver go, but my guess is they resign him, and between that, Wes Matthews’ emergence, and Kirilenko’s unmovable contract, the Jazz are pretty logjammed at the 2 and 3

Aldrich would give them a true center, a real defensive presence, and a ton of flexibility on whether or not to retain Boozer, so my guess is they’ll favor him

Easily the most intelligent song writer out there.

I might be two picks too late

but why would anybody want to TARGET AFA and/or Monroe before George or Henry? Is this target or BPA? Bad fit for Monroe even if you trade other Love or Jefferson and AFA is light years away from contributing, especially from other wings available.
