    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Philadelphia Inquirer - Sources have indicated to the Philadelphia Inquirer that Shelden Williams has pulled out of scheduled workouts with teams in the second half of the top 10, including Minnesota, who picks sixth.</div> Aw man. This isnt good. He was the main guy for us to draft.LINK

    yeah, supposedly Atlanta has interest in him. This could mean Bargnani could slip to #7. :nasty:

    Hm... I would not have minded if we selected him at 13 if he was available, but if this is true we better go to our back-up plan, which will probably be another big man or possibly even an athletic swingman to pair up with Iguodala or bring off the bench behind Korver.

    hmmm I wouldnt expect him to go in the top 5 and hopefully he doesnt because I really want Philly to take him if hes available. If we dont take him we have a lot of interest in Cedric Simmons who can also help w/ defense or Shawne Williams supposively

    It will suck if Sheldon Williams is not there at 13 when we pick. But that's how it is looking so we should look at Cedric Simmons I guess. I really did not want anyone else out of the guys who might be around when we pick at 13 except for Sheldon Williams. So with the weak draft maybe we should package our 13th pick with Sammy Dalembert, and Korver for something.
