A random SB blogger tweeted he has a source that says the Bulls like MPJ 1 Mikal 2. Setting aside it is just a random blogger, the Bulls don't know who would still on the board if MPJ was gone. So in essence, the Bulls have Mikal over the other guys in the top 6? It doesn't even make sense. At best, it's a smokescreen for Carter. Most likely is simply bullsh#!
Woj, of all people, said on ESPN that 90% of everything you hear leading up to the draft are lies and BS Either somebody trying to make a name for themselves and get hits, or just bad info intentionally put out there to deceive. I'm paraphrasing of course but that is the gist of what he said.
Anytime you hear "X team reportedly likes so and so player"... or "it is rumored that x team is interested in x player at x spot" or "x team wants to trade down or up because of x reason".... you just have to laugh. It's all nonsensical drivel. No team is going to let any REAL information about what they are planning leak out there to anyone. Especially not some blogger or reporter, or talking head. That is not to say that there are not SOME valid leaks out there, but they are few and far between and never intended for public consumption. People get fired over that shiiiiit.
