Re: Derrick Rose/OJ Mayo SweepStakes
Sacramento- OJ Mayo
Seattle- Derrick Rose (everyone is done if this happens)
Indiana- Michael Beasley
Memphis- Nicolas Batum
Philly- Roy Hibbert
I like Tomic, Gallinari, Lopez, Arthur, Jordan, Collison, Thabeet, Lawson, and Summers to round out the lotto.
I also like but am not sold on Donte Greene and Budinger.
I forgot to mention- after next year Philly will be the only team who is seriously under the cap. this is an off-season which Elton Brand (perfect!!) Gilber Arenas, Baron Davis, Lamar Odom, KG, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Mike Bibby, Ron Artest are all UNrestricted free agents. Philly could really turn things around.

Re: Derrick Rose/OJ Mayo SweepStakes
Odom still has two years left on his contract, so does Baron, KG, Kidd, Marion, Bibby and Artest. The only ones I see opting out are Elton Brand and Artest to be honest. The others are not opting out because they won't make anywhere near what they are making now. Especially Baron Davis (can't stay healthy, approaching 30) and Shawn Marion (being paid the max). Arenas will get his though.
The big FA period is 2009 summer.

Re: Derrick Rose/OJ Mayo SweepStakes
I think a team that was mediocre last year is going to bomb...Minnesota, this means you.

2009 might also very well be the beginning of a new era when most stars of today will be over 30. Everything won't change all of a sudden, but barring major injuries I think the top teams will remain the same for another two years. Two years from now the younger teams should be able to saw on the throne of the top teams at least.

Re: Derrick Rose/OJ Mayo SweepStakes
The entire recruiting process involving Mayo pretty much sums up his attitude...
He has a large ego and an attitude. You dont tell big time college coaches that YOU will be the one calling them. As I have been saying for the past two years, there is a reason the premier basketball schools never recruited Mayo.

Re: Derrick Rose/OJ Mayo SweepStakes
If the Sonics manage to lose enough games to land Rose, they'll be the next great dynasty.

Kobe is not having Jordan's PPG because Kobe isnt selfish as Michael Jordan. He plays for the team where as Jordan played only for himself.

Re: Derrick Rose/OJ Mayo SweepStakes
Well they didn't recruit him because he's going to be a media circus. He really doesn't belong in college because he's a pro. He's forced to go, so he's in LA soaking up the limelight. Pretty much.
