These are the likely guys to slip to us. I believe they'll be some twists in this draft. Pat Riley loves centers. He might shock every one and take Lopez 2nd overall. Chicago is gonna take Beasley because they already have a point guard in Hinrich and he has a huge contract. Minnesota's gonna take Rose at 3 and match him with big AL. Seattle is going to take Jordan (the Kemp effect) because they already have 3 point guards that can play and will try to get a body in there to help Durant. Memphis is going to take Kevin Love to replace Gasol and the Knicks will have to pick between Bayless, Mayo.
I like Bayless better than Mayo. Mayo is a better shooter but Bayless has a better handle more explosive to the rim and would fit D'Antoni's style of play much better.
If May or Bayless is the pick Marbury is bought out. Which is a good move because he is so volatile. All he talks about is him when you hear interviews. It's never about getting players invovled and being a leader. It's about him doing what he wants on the court. (chucking) and having his players stand us and watch him play with his tunnel vision. Even if we don't draft a point, we should cut him. I trust Nate more than I trust him. And Nate's a better shooter and passer.

Seattle has no PG they'll take Bayless or Mayo no hesisitation
Riley won't take Lopez ever.
They do have Earl Watson and Luke Ridnour who are both decent starting calibur point guards and they dont have any Center, unless they are still waiting for Petro and Sene to live up to potential and Swift to stay healthy. Unless Lopez proves something to them they will not be taking a Center and they will take Bayless in my opinion. Shawn Kemp has nothing to do with ther selection as they are trying to move out of Seattle.
Right now I feel like the Top 5 will be as follows
1. Bulls - Michael Beasley
2. Heat - Derrick Rose
3. Wolves - OJ Mayo
4. Sonics - Jerryd Bayless
5. Grizzlies - Brook Lopez (possibly Kevin Love)
Leaving our targets as
Dino Galinari
Eric Gordon
DJ Augustin
Russel Westbrook
Anthony Randolph
Joe Alexander
I dont think we will take a SF for a third year in a row unless we plan on moving Richardson Jeffries Chandler or Balkman but Joe Alexander and Galinari seem like they would be good players for us.

How many of them are worth a damn? I doubt we are in any position to pick anything but BPA.
I think Chandler can ball. He can play offense and defense. Q and Balkman are a different story.
