Beasley being 6-7 doesn't matter. 7 foot wingspan. "Once in a decade offensive talent". Can board because he led NCAA in rebounding. Compared him to Barkley because of attitude and size.

Ford said he would take Rose for Chicago. Leadership needed and intangibles. Derrick Rose is a winner. Beasley may be a great player not sure if he's a winner.

Believes Bulls will select Rose.

Believes Miami should take Beasley. Riles personally calling GM's to trade #2 pick. Doesn't like Beasley. Mentions Memphis as a trade. Alot of teams willing to move up. Willing to add Conley and the #5 for the #2.

Miami may take Mayo. "Mayo is no Beasley".

Minny doesn't have the assets to move up.

"Mayo is most ready". Brandon Roy type effect next year. Not a superstar.

Westbrook hot right now. "Not sure he'll develop to be like Rondo". Can go as high as 4.

-Knicks email question. Who do they pick? "I keep hearing it's going to be Danillo Gallinari". "Not Darko Milicic. Not a work out wonder." Dominating against guys over there much older than him". Can play 3 and 4. Was a point guard until he had a growth spurt.

Trades:

Jermaine: Gone, possibly after the draft. Teams not knowing if healthy. In Vegas working with one of NBA's best trainers. A lot of teams not comfortable with his health. Still a Pacer Friday. Ford/Jermaine deal basically dead.

Jefferson: Will get traded. Nets want room for LBJ. Odom for Jefferson.

Diaw: Still a Sun on Friday. Suns trying to package with Barbosa to get another pick.

Shawn Marion: Not happy no extension. Marion for Elton Brand.

-Knicks not a playoff team but will be better.

How about we swap picks with Memphis and offer them cash or Malik Rose & 6 for Cardinal and 5.

If Mayo slips to 5, we trade Mayo and Lee to Miami for Beasley. Just a thought.

Screw the Nets if they want cap space why did they re-up Carter???

Even though he isn't my first (or second) choice, I'd at least be willing to give Gallinari a chance. There are only a couple of players that Walsh could take that would piss me off right from the get go. Javale Mcgee being one of them.

In walsh we trust>.......

Gallinari????

I'd take it. If we're running a spread offense who is shooting from the corners?

Only one of the non-shooters can play at a time I feel like in MikeD's offense. That means you have to have Chandler and Craw out there a lot, Gallinari would help.

Nate - Craw - Chandler - Gallinari - Lee would be a sweet Suns-esque lineup.
