The Day That Was: June 19, 2007

I'm trying to get into full baseball mode for the summer, but the upcoming NBA Draft and all of the trade talk that comes with it is drawing my attention elsewhere. KG to the Celtics scares me, he would be so great there. The TWolves too- Mike James/Bassy Telfair, Randy Foye, Gerald Green, Al Jefferson, and the 5th and 7th overall picks in the draft. That's an allstar team in 5 years. Unfortunately for Minnesota, that trade makes way too much sense to actually happen. KG and Kobe possibly moving to the East is pretty interesting, either one of them could win the conference. With almost any team. But enough rumors, time for real hard news: The Day That Was
