I think Yao Ming will end up in Denver, I'm 85% sure about that.
Based on the standing i think Ming will go number two so i like Memphis taking him. If Memphis gets number one and takes Williams, chicago will take Ming at 2 and a draft day trade may be made with Memphis getting extra cash or a second round pick in the deal. Right now our record is just slightly better than Atlanta, Cleveland, and Houston so i expect New York maybe to blow some games towards the end of the season hoping to get a 5th or 6th spot for the lotto. That way we can get Drew Gooden, who isn't as big a gamble as everyone else, or someone else along that line. That will all depend on who comes out with year. Mike Dunleavy and Dejuan Wagner are the two big question marks and if they come out, that will make life a whole lot easier for us. I like Ming and Wilcox for their potential, but i really like Gooden because he's a guarenteed impact player like Battier was considered last year and Martin the year before that. Talent-wise, i compare him along the lines of Martin or Abdur-Rahim which would definitely be great for us.
