Gettin' It Started!
Talk show with Shawn, Brad and David!

Shawn: Well, first of all, welcome to all the new rookies!
Brad: Seriously! I can't wait to see them go at it. Especially the two brothers, who were they again...
Shawn: Oh right! The Rodgers bros. Going to be sweet. Rivalry to the max.
David: Right on boys. Lets say that we have to pick our top 5 picks. Who would you choose and to what team?
Brad: well, I'm extremely interested in seeing Adam Oakley get picked up first, then 2nd... I'd say... Probably James White. He seems legit. As for 3rd, 4th and 5th... Probably Rivers, Marks and Turner.. in that order of course.
David: And Teams?
Brad: Oh . Well... Lets say.... 76ers... Cavaliers... Bobcats... Lakers ... and probably Jazz.
David: Interesting... How about you Shawn?
Shawn: Oh this is easy. Oakley, Knight, Rivers, Marks and Tuner... Boston, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Raptors and Magic.
David: Interesting. I'm going to go Oakley by the Wizards, Rivers by the Pacers... Turner by Raptors... Warren Todd will be a steal at 4th, by the Nets... and lets say the Lakers for 5th picking Richard Rodman! - On another note, I'm looking at the draft class, and I only see one PG. I wonder who will be lucky enough for him.
Brad: Only time can tell ! Lets get to the season.
