    Interest in Shelden Williams?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Another team could be the Seattle SuperSonics, who might be willing to offer Nick Collison and the No. 10 to Atlanta for the No. 5. The Sonics are also high on Williams, especially after losing their best rebounder, Reggie Evans, in February. With that pick the Hawks could get another forward and then take a point guard or combo guard -- UConn's Marcus Williams, Kentucky's Rajon Rondo or Villanova's Randy Foye -- at No. 10. </div>

    Jazz trying to move up to our spot?
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> One possibility might to be to package a future first-round pick (their own or the future Knicks pick owned by the Jazz) to Seattle for the No. 10. The word is that the Sonics are trying to keep costs under control right now so that they can sign Chris Wilcox. Still, it's unclear whether Foye would be on the board at No. 10.</div>

    I don't mind the Williams pick - you know the guy is going to be a great pro and a guaranteed 14/11/2 blocks guy in a couple of years. Just a matter of log jamming that 4/5 spot.

    Would improve our interior D hugely though.

    Where's Paul Allen and his money when you need them?

    Apparently we really like Shannon Brown too, which would concievably mean trading down.
