I don't recall there ever being this much uncertainty and anticipation going into a Blazer draft. Things are still up in the air but trades are going on all around the league. KP is more than likely getting ready to do his thing tomorrow and I can't wait another second.

First off, ESPN is reporting that the Warriors are trading Jamal Crawford to the Hawks for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton. This deal isn't as huge as previous trades this week, but it opens the door for Mike Bibby to leave. Not that he is on the Blazers radar, but he is certainly an option on some level.

Then of course there is the current rumor where Kirk Hinrich is apparently telling his friends he thinks he'll be going to the Blazers. Obviously this is a rumor with zero credibility. I still think it's very possible and as I eluded to earlier this week, I would love to have him.

I enjoy all of the anticipation but I will be happy when the draft is over. I'm exhausted from all of this, but it's still fun. It's like reality TV, you want to look away, but you just can't stop watching.
