Hollinger's system also rated Derrick Rose and Mayo to be future bust. His best one is that Bosh was going to be a role player while Mike Sweetney was going to be the low post star. There isn't much to take from ESPN except for Bilas whom seems the only guy to have any real knowledge.

Did he really say that Rose and Mayo were going to be busts?

i think he did but also mentioned that 1 year players do not accurately measure in his system.

His statement that the Knicks spent $5M in the trades is correct but misleading. It doesn't account for the savings in salary for Darko.

$3M - #29 pick
$2M - included in darko trade (i thought it was 1.2M but we will use his number)

$1.85M - Savings in salary (Q makes 9.35, Darko 7.5)
$1.85M - Savings in luxury tax

So... 3 + 2 - 1.85 - 1.85 = 1.3M actually spent.
