A Ho-Hum Draft

With the 58th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select...

Joe Crawford? Ok. I don't know anything about him, have never seen him play before, and didn't even know who he was before last night. And still, he'll probably never wear a Laker uniform.

The Lakers waited all night to finally get a chance to make some noise, if only just for the sake of having their name heard. They traded their first rounder, the 27th pick overall, to Memphis in the Pau Gasol trade back in February. With the pick, Memphis selected Donte Green, whose rights they shipped off to Houston in exchange for the rights to big man Darrell Arthur.

I'm pretty sure Mitch Kupchak would still do the Gasol trade a hundred times over.
