With the steady steam of trial coverage I thought it would be nice to break things up and talk some basketball. So in anticipation for Thursday here's The News Tribune's annual mock draft.
Our mock draft is compiled by talking to reporters and other people involved with the NBA around the league, perusing information on player workouts for perspective teams, analyzing other mock drafts, and finally some educated guessing based on team needs.
Currently, I have Seattle taking O.J. Mayo with its No. 4 pick and European player Serge Ibaka with the team's 24th pick. But we all know from Seattle's experience with the draft last season when the Sonics traded franchise cornerstone Ray Allen that things could drastically change.
The the rumors are still flying that Miami is willing to trade the No. 2 overall pick because Heat president Pat Riley is lukewarm on Michael Beasley. Hard to believe, considering Beasley might be the best player in the draft.
Take a look at some of the other mock drafts to see what other people are saying, including NBA.com
, Draftexpress.com , hoopsworld.com , insidehoops.com and espn.com
And let me know who you think the Sonics should take in the first round. I'm sure Mayo is not the consensus pick among the Sonics faithful.

Team Needs
1. Chicago Bulls PG, PF
The pick: Derrick Rose, Memphis
The skinny: The Chicago native will make a major impact for his hometown team.
Attorneys for the City of Seattle filed its proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law late Tuesday in anticipation of the close of the trial on Thursday. At 82 pages, just taking a quick glance it appears that the attorneys for the city have presented a pretty thorough document.
