MJ went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Richardson-for-Wright deal. The T-Wolves take Chris Richard from Florida, the fourth Gator to go. Stephen A. Smith looks beside himself.
The Blazers take Derek Byars at #42, he will actually go to Philly as part of the earlier deal. Adam Haluska of Iowa goes to Charlotte.
UNC's Reyshawn Terry lands with the Magic. Clips take Jared Jordan of Marist. Still no love for the Orange!

Stop Giving Him Reason to Shout
Tirico & Jackson Watch Oprah in the Back Seat
The Mavs take Nick Fazekas at #34. Big Baby Glen Davis goes to the Celtics at #35 (part of the Ray Allen trade). Bilas said he fluctuates in weight and "is a lot like Oprah in that regard." This prompted Tirico to admit he and Mark Jackson watched Oprah in the car on the way to the draft. Jackson looked less than thrilled.
Golden State takes Jermareo Davidson from Alabama, Portland takes Josh McRoberts and buys the rights to Petteri Koponen from Philly. The Sixers then take Kyrylo Fesenko from Ukraine. Stanko Barac goes 39th to Miami, first time the Heat have drafted from overseas. This was the compensation pick for Stan Van Gundy accepting the Magic position. Stan for Stanko seems fair. Sun Yue goes 40th to the Lakers. Tirico tells us Yue's "favorite rapper is Usher." Odd, I always thought of Ursh as a crooner, but who am I to question Mike Tirico.
