    I just revised my Mock Draft and have recalculated Miles being available at #9. I had the Rockets take him and (gulp) bypassing Moiso and DerMarr.

    I think the Bulls want more help NOW and figure they can coax Miles to come back home in 2-3 years (kind of like our approach with Rashard Lewis!).

    I see Atlanta sticking with Miller or DerMarr because that coach wants to win NOW so he can keep his job. Big deals didn't help Calipari or Tarkanian. Mutombo is heading for the exits and their window of time is now-- kind of like when we took Barkley.

    And I saw Orlando passing because they have enough star-material sizing up for their uniforms. They need guys who can play now should their FA plans go awry.

    Cleveland wants The Big Greek if they can get him.

    Did I make a mistake or am I just hallucinating?

    Why would a brand new coach be worried about winning now so he can keep his job?

    I can think of two reasons off the top of my : John Calipari (<2 seasons) and Jerry Tarkanian (<1 season).

    Mutombo is their ticket right now. They can't afford a player who will take 3 years to become a significant contributor, can they?
