    Dalati played some brief comments from Dawson during the ticker regarding some of the prospects. They will play more during the hour.

    Bargnani: They are trying to get as much information about him as possible because he was slipping fast, but then today it looks like he might go #1.

    Marcus Williams: Looks like he might have cracked the top 7 in the last 2 weeks. Boston and Minnesota like him.

    Ronnie Brewer: He could go in front of them and has had great workouts everywhere he's gone. Chicago and Golden State loved him.

    If marcus and Brewer go top 7 than i won't mind at all. It just allows us to pick Aldridge, Roy, Morrison, Gay, Bargnani, Thomas. If Thomas falls to us than we should trade the pick to Orlando or NO/OKL.

    It's a Freudian slip. My guess is that its almost sure that we'll trade the pick since none of the Top 6 will fall to us at 8. I'm still all for trading the pick to New Orleans for 12 and 15, that way we can get Carney and Redick/Brewer.

    5 stars ... thanks for posting this thacabbage.

    Sounds one heck of a lot like what everyone has been posting here. One day it looked like Bargnani would fall to 6 or 7, and that trade today (albeit a small one) by the Raptors could mean they are going to take Bargnani #1.

    I sure hope so ... I really do. I'm not sure it will happen though - but one of the big questions is do the Timberwolves (with Rashad McCants) or the Celtics (Paul Pierce, Delonte West) take a Brandon Roy if he slips?

    I don't think I buy the "slip" thing. I can't see the Rockets having traded below #16, which is where Chicago is behind us. My guess is CD was just saying he's heard that Brewer has had great workouts everywhere. Almost sounds smoke-screen-ish also in that they're hoping he goes before them. I don't see that happening though.

    Very interesting information. Thanks for the post.
    I seem to have gained a lot more interest in Brewer after his workout stats.

    David said they would be playing more throughout the hour during the ticker but unfortunately I had to attend to other matters and didn't catch them. I'm guessing he commented on the other guys.

    What I find interesting is that early on, atleast on this board, all the rage was Carney, then Brewer became the consensus, and now I don't think anyone knows what the hell they're going to do. I have Roy falling in my mock draft and us all going home happy.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't McCants just have knee surgery to put him out for 4-6 months? Same surgery Amare had.

    Wouldn't this change the T'Wolves' draft strategy?

    they need another point and big in that order. they're well covered at the 2 and 3 with jaric, hassel and davis. i think most teams will be drafting the best possible player anyway.

    Chicago loves Brewer?

    It would make sense for the Bulls; Brewer can pass, defend, take it to the rim. Hmn.

    Not that I give Sam Smith's musings any credence, but if the Bulls want value for their pick, would either of our power forwards (Stromile's young and not expensive, Juwan is a veteran presence and native Chicagoan) and the #8 be enough to grab #2?

    They could get a lot of value for that pick. Brewer makes sense for them because they already have scorers. Brewer alongside Gordon would work.

    Me, I'm thinking Brandon Roy at #2. He won't slip to us at #8.

    Of course, we'd have to aim for another PF/backup center in that case.

    They 'hate' Jaric / we 'hate' JuHo -so- swap them and the #s 6 & 8.

    Now, that's a deal that everybody should jump on.

    Chicago loves Brewer with the 16th pick. Not the 2 or 8.
