Not doing the deal with the Lakers/Rockets helped. Would you rather be a middle-of-the-pack team for the next few years, or one that could draft the likes of Austin Rivers and Perry Jones in the 2012 NBA draft?]]> http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/12/15/new-orleans-hornets-fans-can-start-dreaming-about-their-two-lottery-picks-in-the-2012-nba-draft/feed/ 71 http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/12/14/the-roundup-the-death-of-the-sports-interview-the-top-20-songs-of-2011-chris-paul-may-sue-the-nba/ http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/12/14/the-roundup-the-death-of-the-sports-interview-the-top-20-songs-of-2011-chris-paul-may-sue-the-nba/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:23:28 +0000 Jason McIntyre http://thebiglead.com/?p=144581
Heavy on the NBA. Laura Elena Harring is a blast from the past. She's famous for one movie scene in particular.

It was difficult (but fun!) to try and project the 2012 NBA draft lottery. Between the lockout, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard and Monta Ellis, the next 12 months in the NBA should be awesome. Awesome also describes the talent in the 2012 NBA draft.]]> http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/27/a-2012-nba-draft-lottery-prediction-one-year-early/feed/ 148 http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/27/jordan-hamilton-thinks-he-fell-in-the-draft-because-of-something-rick-barnes-said/ http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/27/jordan-hamilton-thinks-he-fell-in-the-draft-because-of-something-rick-barnes-said/#comments Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:09:03 +0000 Jason McIntyre http://thebiglead.com/?p=103254

NBA Draft 2011 wasn't kind to many early-entry candidates. Ten went into the second round, missing out on guaranteed money. College seniors didn't fare well, either - five of them weren't drafted at all. And of course the Kings and Knicks screwed up.]]> http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/24/nba-draft-kings-knicks-and-former-college-stars-what-were-they-thinking/feed/ 99 http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/23/nba-draft-trades-galore-the-knicks-screw-up-jajuan-johnson-to-boston-and-norris-cole-to-miami/ http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/23/nba-draft-trades-galore-the-knicks-screw-up-jajuan-johnson-to-boston-and-norris-cole-to-miami/#comments Fri, 24 Jun 2011 02:43:17 +0000 Jason McIntyre http://thebiglead.com/?p=102852

The Cleveland Cavaliers have many options with the 4th pick in the draft. Trade for a 2012 pick? Stash a Euro? Trade down and pick up two picks? Their decision is likely to have a bigger impact on the draft than what happens with the 1st, 2nd or 3rd picks.]]> http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/06/22/nba-draft-rumors-what-do-the-cavaliers-do-with-the-4th-pick/feed/ 95
