Any chance we use this to our benefit to slide in and steal OJ Mayo by inticing Minnesota or Memphis to give us their pick for Hedo and change?

I doubt it.

Both don't really need a SF.

The skinny: There's quite a bit of buzz over Rush at the moment. He's got the size, athleticism and shooting ability needed to excel as an NBA 2-guard. He is also an excellent defender and should be ready to step in and contribute right away. He's a perfect fit for Orlando.

or else i will

Just checked Chad Ford's predictions for 2007 and what actually happened, Chad should think of a different career, but lucky for him his mock drafts are not his only job at espn.
So I would say that anything Chad has picked for a certain team as a lock take that lock and throw it away it's worthless.
Draft express did better then him and that is not saying a lot.

Mock drafts are just someone else's pipe dream and they hope they have guessed right. So don't take what he says to the bank. The only way to know who the Magic pick or what they will do with their draft pick is to find out on draft night.

anyone know why after the pacers were picked at 11, the guy on tv says "well this will put the bulls into the top 3 now"?

Psst, don't you mean "Tyrus" Thomas. He's got some attitude concerns, but I agree the guy would be very nice next to Dwight.

Psst, I don't see the Bulls letting him go he is suppose to be part of their future.

bec the bulls were supposed to be picking 11 if the balls fell the way they were supposed to. Since the pacers were now picking 11, the bulls must have jumped into the top 3.

You never know Cougar, futures change often and with little notice in the nba. I know he saw a lot of pine though.

The Bulls have the top pick and considering their problems at PG this past season they just might surprise everyone and take Rose.

You are right on the mark there. The Bulls may have the top pick this year in the draft, but everything else with them is still very much up in the air. With a new coach maybe things will improve for the players they seemed to be having their own little revolt against the last two coaches didn't they.

i thought the bulls had the #9 chance of the number 1, dont see why any team would dictate and put them automatically in the top 3 at pick 11-12..could be having a dumb moment and missing the obvious, sorry :crazy:

I am so pissed at Bulls winning the lottery. They are so damn lucky and that is not even funny.
Actually bulls are real good at drafting. They just do not have a coach to put all the talents into their system.
I **** hate the Bulls and all the luck they get in NBA.

Only the top 3 picks are decided by lottery. If you move up it's into the top 3.

Ya, a lot of people think the entire draft is done by lottery when it's only the top 3 that's done that way. If a team that was expected to pick at that certain spot isn't revealed then that means they were picked in one the top 3 spots.
