With the draft coming up, Kevin Love has steadied himself into being a lottery selection. We all know he can hit the midrange jumper, rebound, and start a fast break with an amazing outlet pass; but did you know he can make 92 foot alley-oop pass to Michael Beasley and length of the court shots!

Early Rumor: Derrick Rose To Sign With Arn Tellem
Darren Rovell reports that Memphis standout Freshman guard, Derrick Rose, will sign with WMG agent, Arn Tellem. I recently discussed that NBA Early Entries will start to select agents right about now, and if Rose officially picks Tellem for representation, he will not disappoint. Well, at least he won't disappoint me. I never thought that I had a chance at landing Derrick...
Mad Ballin' : The Rookie : Michael Beasley Episode 3 (and Why Pat Riley must chill out before he becomes like Steven Seagal)
I swear, Michael Beasley is one of the funniest athletes that I have ever seen. If he goes to Miami, he may become the guy to succeed Shaq as the most hiliarious Miami athlete.
Now, there are rumors that Pat Riley is thinking about not taking Beasley, or even trading away the No. 2 pick. I see this as a generation gap issue. Beasley is very laid back, but a beast on the court...

Bill Walker could be a steal for the team that takes the chance on one of the most explosive and athletic players in the 2008 NBA draft. This kid brings toughness to the court and plays well above the rim. If the Blazers wanted another Jerome Kersey type player, Bill Walker is it.Walker played hurt for most of the year last season but still put up 30 points three times for KSU who...

Rumor: Carlos Boozer Set to Join Wade, Beasley in Miami ('09)
Dorell Wright's guaranteed two-year deal left the Heat with a little more than $50 million in 2009-10 contracts for 10 players (only Daequan Cook's $1.3 million is at Miami's option). That means ? unless multiyear deals are dumped ? the Heat likely will have a little more than $11 million next summer (if Shawn Marion isn't re-signed) to pursue a free agent such as...

The Chicago Bulls Get the First Pick of the 2008 NBA Draft
Predicted to be the #9 pick of the 2008 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls jumped during the lottery to the top spot.
The Chicago Bulls, who had a 1.7% chance of getting that top spot, pushed the Miami Heat (who had a 25% chance) to the second spot and T-Wolves to number 3.
The 2008 NBA Draft will be like last year's draft where there are two prizes rather than just...

Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
There's been a lot of hoo-hah in the last year or so over the rookie salary structure, and I'm not really sure why.
