I will admit, I didn't see the Bobcats play once this year. That's a first for me. I usually get to see everybody once. With that said, who knows what the Bobcats are going to do. I love MJ but he did draft Kwame Brown.

As for Rose going to Chicago...Rose has the potential to do the same things that Deron Williams and Chris Paul are doing now. Beasley will be a good pro but Rose will make that entire roster better because he can simply elevate the games of those around him. Memphis doesn't make the NCAA Championship without Rose.

If you all keep your ears open to the grapevine and if you had some of the same contacts and friends I have in basketball then you'd know that some of the things I've predicted aren't that far-fetched.

Bayless is TRYING to politic his way to NY because he already had a relationship with D'Antoni and Steve Nash. Mayo has Miami all tied in knots. Beasley would help Miami but Riles is falling in love with Mayo.

koolman - With the spot that the Pistons are drafting in, do you really expect a quality big man to be there? I don't. If they deal Wallace or get rid of McDyess then I see that as Dumars trying to move up in the draft to get a young frontcourt player.

PaperLantern - Yes, Arthur dropping that low is a bit crazy (as is Gordon dropping) but every year there are guys rated really high and then don't work out as well as others and then they slip in the draft. Not that Arthur will have a poor showing at workouts but other guys are simply climbing up the draft board.
