maybe some pieces are starting to come together.... QUOTE Two different sources have indicated to NBADraft.net on Friday that the Pistons have a promise in place to take BJ Mullens if he's available to the them at 15. QUOTE The all time leading scorer in the ACC is considered a surefire contributor (safe pick), which in a weak draft is a valued commodity. Hansbrough may have leapfrogged DeJuan Blair who continues to impress in workouts himself. QUOTE It's looking very likely that if he gets to them the Bulls will take DeJuan Blair. Blair makes a lot of sense as he would work well platooning with the longer and more versatile Joakim Noah at the 4 position. Blair's toughness and ability to rebound would fill a huge void for a team that was 20th in rebounds last year. QUOTE Teams with multiple picks such as Sacramento (23), Oklahoma City (25) and Chicago (26) are all looking to sell their picks according to sources. While three other teams would like to buy picks late in the first round: San Antonio, Detroit and Houston.

Knicks have bought the 29th pick from the Lakers for $3M in cash. Lakers also receive a 2nd round pick. Hell of a deal for the Lakers. $3M is a lot of money for a pick at the back-end of the draft, especially when you don't even know if the guy you are targeting will be there at pick 28.

Rumor:
QUOTE Wallace is an expiring $14 million contract that could also provide the Suns more immediate financial relief with a buyout (although he would still count as a $14 million salary for luxury tax purposes). Chandler's contract goes into the 2010-11 season at about $13 million. If the Suns make this move it would be an indication that they are not just looking at finances but talent because taking on Chandlers contract is a move to get better talent (Tyson is better than Wallace) but financially is dump. Oh and quite frankly I don't see why you make that trade if you are the Suns. I don't think Chandler is the type of guy you give up a 2010 expiring (which is what Wallace is) for. |

The only way the Suns would be under the cap next year is if they let both Amare and Nash walk correct? In other words...if they can grab Chandler without going anywhere near luxury tax territory, they're not really in a position where they can be thinking about 2010 expirings...they have to worry about whether they're losing their own guys, and they're not going to be making huge moves with that contract. |

I think the Suns could position themselves to be in a spot to go after 2010 but maybe I'm wrong. And how unlikely is it that Amare and Nash leave cause I'd put the odds on that being pretty good. Nash might stick around but he won't be the center piece to the team anymore. |

Chad Ford answering a Bulls question in his most recent Q&A
QUOTE Josh (Nebraska) Hi Andy! What are my Bulls doing tonight? Any big deals going down involving Hinrich, Thomas or hopefully something for Stoudemire? Andy Katz The Bulls are talking trades but nothing substantial yet. Sounds like no one has a clue what the Bulls are doing and who they are talking about, other than just generic that they know Gar has been on the phones. Who knew the org went back to the krause years where no one outside has any clue of what the Bulls are going to do (not necessarily a bad thing, but damn it I want some juicy gossip). That said I'd rather see us make a big move and have it go down than us get all excited and wet over nothing. Ie, I'd rather get the girl than watch the stripper. |
