Losing weight going into the league? Who does that? yeah, that trade kind of blew up my master plan for Eric Gordon, but cash considerations for Joey Dorsey is still well within reach.

I have nothing really against him and wish him every success, but I can't help but watch those and think this guy has all kinds of 'motivation' and 'common sense' issues. That crack about blowing off DStern? Bad call, Mike.

Biggest Sleeper
Courtney Lee, Western Kentucky – instant defensive contributor with a high basketball IQ

Rose or Beasley
Rose – consider the dead horse sufficiently beaten

Biggest Bust/Who is Anthony Randolph
Anthony Randolph/Biggest Bust

Stock Drop
DeAndre Jordan – no great team will want him, so a fall from the lottery means a fall to the late first round

Raptors

But Paul Allen doesn't run this team!) And plus, with JO now in the fold, Dorsey isn't necessary. Three other things: 1) I have seen Eric Gordon in person, twice, and can report that he will be a spectacular failure. He is not quick enough for the wing in the pros, his jumper is awful shaky for someone deemed a pure shooter, and he lacked any kind of scoring creativity against the mighty D from...Minnesota? If you can't score on the Gophers, you aren't a lottery pick. 2) Kevin Love was on PTI last night and the dude has lost 15-20 pounds. I mention this in reference to the boiler comments, and because I have a man-crush on him game (but not his beard) 3) Well done as always fellas The Raps don’t have a second-rounder currently with which to pick up Joey “Stu Has a Boner for Me” Dorsey, and I don’t know what they would give up to get him (cash considerations?
