That said, some thoughts. Because our opinions are worth nothing, which makes them as valuable as everyone else's today.

• We found ourselves surprised that so many in Seattle were against the Ray Allen to the Celtics trade. You've got Kevin Durant for the next so-many years; why have a guy like Allen hanging around? Gotta be good for Allen, too; lots more threesome opportunities in Boston. (Link NSFW)

• We always find the trades on draft night more fun anyway. Zack Randolph to the Knicks? That's a lot more enjoyable to play with than Jared Dudley in Charlotte.

• Honestly, it was mostly just a night for the Pacific Northwest. We'd totally move there if they had a subway.

We present Portland Trail Blazers forward Zack Randolph, and his early-morning escapades yesterday.

• Randolph was a passenger in a car at 3:15 a.m. Nothing wrong there.
• The driver ran a red light. Hey, it happens.
• The police said the driver — it was Randolph's car — was "speed racing." Didn't they do a movie about that?
• The arresting officer said Randolph had "a definitive odor of marijuana." Uh-oh.
• While searching the car, police found two loaded handguns under the driver's seat. Well ...

As a way of making the situation as easy for himself as possible, Randolph refused to give the police keys to his car, making it more difficult for them to tow it. They eventually figured out a way, though.
