This poster has several connections and plays ball at UNC. This is his post, just thought i would share. He says his source is very reliable.

I have the LATEST news... My source is GOOD!
Ok first off I was in the chat and I posted some of my info then they just confirmed it on espn..... OK,

The Heat were saying they want Beasley at first so they can see what kind of offers they can get for him.... And they gathered their info so they know what they can get for him....

Now they put it out there that they might want OJ, they are doing the same exact thing with him that they did with Beasley...

Beasley is they guy who they are more than likely to draft, unless something major happens, it doesn't matter what else you hear BUT they aren't drafting him for themselves.. They plan on drafting him and shipping him to the Sonics for Wilcox and Mayo(assuming he falls to 4).

The Timberwolves Front Office are playing their cards very smart because they want Mayo more than ANYTHING he's the guy on their board, they don't want Beasley at all, he will get traded if he's selected by Minny...

Everyone thinks the Wolves will trade who ever they select regardless that's where the tricky part come in about the heat and sonics... The Heat are thinking if they can take Beasley, then we will pass on OJ, and he will fall to the Sonics so they can complete thier deal BUT the wolves are planning on taking OJ so they hold the key's to that Sonics Heat trade....

All in all expect the pick to be OJ, or Love(IF he falls pass 5)
Don't expect Beasley to be a Wolve for long if he's selected...

The only thing I've heard about their 2nd rounders is that if they don't take a big with their 1st pick then they might trade back into the late 1st to grab a big.

probasketballnews (sam amico) is reporting that the heat will select and trade mayo....he isn't putting it out there like, they have discussed, he is saying it as done fact....weird...

That poster is William Graves....small forward for UNC. I don't know who his connections are but he does have them....everywhere. He uses McCants sometimes as a source and he did break the news that Lawson, Ellington, and Green were coming back before anyone knew.

From what i heard, this is bogus, but take it for what its worth....

Yeah, he is an avid wolves poster on two of the sites i go to, and he has always been very reliable.

well the only good news i can get from that as a heat fan is that since minny takes mayo that means the deal with seattle falls apart...hopefully.

cmc how is he a Wolves fan? Is it bc of McCants or something else? He's from North Carolina so it's a little weird unless he was a big KG fan or something.

He has told us before but i cant remember the exact story right now. I know hes been a wolves fan for a while.

He did say later on in the same thread that Miami likes Bayless as well as Mayo. I dont know if that means they will take Bayless if Mayo is picked by the wolves but thats what he said, take it for what its worth.

i cant see miami trading out of the pick to get bayless and wilcox, thats just a horrible trade

Correct. Graves was/is a big KG fan. Said he was goin to go wherever KG goes but decided to stay a wolves fan.

Clippers and Heat might have a deal in place. There are reports the Clippers are going after Marion, too. Could this be the Mayo/Marion for Brand/Bayless swap?
