That is sort of why he's our Anti-Hero, we had hundreds of his 89 Hoops Card between me, my brother and our friends and HE SUCKED.  Not sure how he ever made the Wolves...oh wait...THEY SUCKED too :P

Scott E Roth Picks...

1. Dwight Howard
2. Emeka Okafor
3. Ben Gordon
4. Devin Harris
5. Shaun Livingston
6. Andre Iguodala
7. Luke Jackson
8. Jameer Nelson
9. Luol Deng
10. Robert Swift
11. Andris Bendrins
12. Josh Childress
13. Kirk Snyder
14. Sergey Monya

Tough one this year as #1 isn't even decided yet, the low out of 15 between myself, my brother and our buddy was only 3 right, we may be approaching that one this year
Well, I tied for first this year, I actually switched Harris and Livingston and got 6 right...not too bad.  We were looking through past mocks, the best one was 8 for 13 in 1997 the year of Duncan and Kobe, the worst was 1998 when the Clippers took Olawikandi over Bibby at the last minute.  Last night was sort of like that...noone knew for sure that the Magic were gonna take Howard

I think the Mavs should not even think of trading for Shaq, it makes no sense.  They are stacked right now and they might have a chance if Pavel is as good as they say he might be to be contenders next year.  PLus they have a replacement for Nash should he decide to leave

And Steve Nash is gonna sign with the Suns who were the first to Offer The Rapist Kobe a deal...I think I'd rather have Kobe but they also were able to save $40 million over 5 years

Well, Coach K is out for the Lakers.  Sticking with Duke.  That might be the last straw for Kobe's chances to stay with the Lakers.  Looking more and more like he might jump ship to the neighboring Clippers lockerroom at Staples.

We're running out of chances to trade Shaq as well, especially after the Mavs dumped Nash and Antawn Jamison.  They'll have to give up both Finley and Nowitzki now to land the big guy, leaving them with only Walker (and Stackhouse?), so I just don't think it's going to happen.  So if Shaq's stuck in L.A. for the final year of his contract, Kobe's as good as gone.

Oh well.  Can't say I haven't been preparing myself for it.  At least we still have Payton!   ::)
