FROM REAL GM

http://probasketballnews.com/amico_062508.html

More random draft news:



* The Miami Heat have found a taker in their quest to trade the No. 2 draft pick, a source familiar with the situation told Pro Basketball News. The source did not indicate which team would be the Heat’s trading partner, or what other draft picks or players are involved.



* The supposed deal will reportedly be announced during or shortly after the draft. According to the source, the Heat will select USC guard O.J. Mayo and trade him. Kansas State forward Michael Beasley is expected to fall to No. 3 -- although not to Minnesota, which is expected to trade down.



* Reports say the Timberwolves are aiming to use their third overall selection to land a veteran, or at the very least, trade down and select West Virginia forward Joe Alexander. Expect Milwaukee to get involved in these talks (if it isn’t already). The Bucks are also very high on Alexander and are considering selecing him at No. 8. That is, of course, unless the Wolves get to him first.



* New York is one team rumored to be involved in the sweepstakes for the No. 2 pick, with the Knicks reportedly hoping to land Mayo. If that’s the case, the Heat would likely receive either Stephon Marbury or Jamal Crawford in return, as well as the Knicks’ No. 6 pick. As has been reported by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Knicks could also end up with Shawn Marion.

awwww 'ish its getting hot. If we get two tho, Beasley is an absolute, right? Whenever I get a chicken sandwich, I say No Mayo. That is unless we get #3.

The sun-sentinel did not report such a trade. It was a trade proposal that Ira Winderman came up with in a blog. The deal is:

Marion and Mark Blount for Marbury and the #6. Not the other deal. I dunno where that deal came from.

This is not a real trade rumor.

I would love to get Marion, if only see Islesfan go from calling him a "freakish athletic all star" to an overpaid over the hill has been.

i'll be waiting to see BRIGGS come up with 1 of his patented "this trade was something i was saying they should do from the start" threads.

Shawn Marion AND OJ Mayo? ::splooge::

we should probably form a bukkake line if this trade goes down.
