And the Lakers are watching the fall of Qyntel Woods very closely. If Woods slips to No. 14, don't be surprised to see the Pacers talk about a package of Austin Croshere and Woods to the Lakers for Robert Horry. The deal would get Croshere's bad contract off the books and bring in another veteran to help the young players through a title run. The Lakers got Kobe at No. 13 in 1996. Will it be Woods at No. 14 in 2002?
I hope the Lakers don't do that deal. Horry only wants to play for LA or Houston-maybe Woods would slip to Houston at 15....
