http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/4611 Recent articles about Chris Mihm en-us He is going to have arthroscopic knee surgery on his right knee next week to remove a small piece of torn cartilage. If this happened earlier in the year when the games actually meant something it would be reason to celebrate. However, considering the fact that the Knicks are going to be tanking games the rest of the way all this does is hurt the Knicks in the long run. Curry's injury hurts the Knicks down the road because now on top of Curry being out of shape, lazy, blocking no shots, getting dunked on by Chris Mihm and having no jump shot he now has a bum knee. Great, now his trade value has diminished even more.

Taking a look at both sides of the potential deals, Harper discusses the impacts to fantasy basketball if something were to go down.

He is the largest one dimensional player I have ever seen play professional basketball. Isiah just face it already all he can do is score down low. He can't grab any rebounds, can't block any shots so teams around the league just drive right at him. Hell if I was on an opposing team I would do the same........for more read on.

An MRI revealed a damaged kneecap. Bynum had been one of the most improved players in the league and had helped a resurgence for the Lakers. Now, who will step up in his absence? Will it be underachieving Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm, or Ronny Turiaf? This is an important question because filling in the void could be the key to your fantasy season.

Only 20 years old, the 7-foot center is already making big noise for the Los Angeles Lakers. I think it's clear to anyone that watches him that he is the future of the NBA. From dunking on Shaq at age 17, to cursing at his teammate in the preseason, Bynum has shown us unparalleled aggressiveness and indescribable athleticism. Mark my word, Andrew Bynum will be an all-star for years to come.

We figured this was the perfect time to get back into rumor-mongering, since the NBA free agent period is here and the baseball trading deadline is just 20 days away. Today we'll give you all the latest NBA rumblings and will bring you the baseball stuff tomorrow. Darko done in Orlando? Everyone's favorite No. 2 pick, Darko Milicic, looks to be on his way out of Orlando. Rashard Lewis signed with the Magic today as part of a sign-and-trade with Seattle, which means Orlando would have to renounce Milicic's rights to fit a max contract for Lewis under the salary cap. Lewis will get six-years and $127.2 million. Orlando GM Otis Smith said regarding Milicic, "He's moved on and we've moved on too." This whole thing has been kind of strange, since the Magic really seemed like they believed in Darko's ability. He does have skills, but his seemingly utter lack of passion for the game and non-existent killer instinct will make finding another home - at the contract level he is seeking - nearly impossible. He seems like a decent kid but he switches between looking great and looking lost on the court so often that it's hard to see him rising to greatness. Someone will probably take a risk on him, because he is a decently athletic 7-footer, and those will always find a home. *UPDATE: ESPN's Chad Ford is reporting that Milicic has signed with the Memphis Grizzlies for significantly more than the mid-level exception.

A newspaper report Wednesday suggested such talk was at ''the preliminary stages,'' which Paxson flatly denied. ''I have not had one conversation concerning Gasol,'' said Paxson, who called the story -- which floated a deal of Andres Nocioni, Joakim Noah, Chris Duhon and other considerations for the 7-foot Grizzlies forward -- ''a complete fabrication.''

The Lakers are looking to build on a good season with Phil Jackson back on the bench. Their youth looks good and is growing faster than you could have expected. Andrew Bynum is looking every bit worth the draft pick and the rest of the team is growing around the core. They'll be fun to watch and see develop, but I don't know about serious West contenders... yet. Thu, 09 Nov 2006 23:28:37 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/4813 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/4813 With the NBA season less than 2 weeks away, Brian Cook and Aaron McKie are the latest Lakers to show up on the injury list. It seems like almost the entire team will be limping through the starting gates this season. Kobe Bryant has not started preseason play because of an offseason knee surgery while Chris Mihm is still out because of nagging ankle problems. Kwame Brown is sidelined at the moment with a sprained right shoulder. Even Coach Phil Jackson is recovering right now after hip replacement surgery.
