    This is from a source from another site I occasionally read. He was very accurate during the KG trade talks, so I take this guy's words seriously.

    They're seriously working on two trades at Target Center. ONE of them will very likely go down, but they're mutually exclusive. I repeat, they're NOT doing both of these deals unless something goes terribly wrong or they get an unbelievable offer they can't refuse. These aren't real new from what I posted before, but it's an update on the directions they're considering.

    EITHER:

    1. Moving both 2nd rounders and McCants to move into the early 20s of the first round to grab Robin Lopez or Hibbert. If they make this move, they've drafted Mayo at 3.
    2. OR They make the Milwaukee trade, moving our #3 for the #8 and Bogut. They'd pray for Gallinari, settle for Eric Gordon, or hope someone like Bayless dropped.


    They seem intent on getting a center AND a guard before free agency begins. And equally intent on moving McCants for anything of value, hopefully before the draft. Attitude concerns more than health at this point.

    If neither trade comes together, Brook Lopez would be the pick. Bayless would likely go 4th to Seatlle, and Memphis would luck into Mayo (unless of course the Heat make a trade).

    As of now, Fred (Asst. GM) and Stack(GM) are on the Mayo bandwagon. McHale(VP of Bball operations) and Babcock(management exec) are Lopez fans.

    Trade for the Nets pick (21). Use the first 2nd for Hudson.

    Interesting scenarios. Of course, I'm convinced McHale will do something to screw this up.

    Always do the opposite of what McHale and Babcock think.

    The kiss of death for any draft prospect.

    Damn Chutney beat me by a minute.
