    Got a little whisper and it looks like the Clippers are going to choose Darius Miles with their pick. They were leaning towards Swift or Fizer but since thought about it and might take Darius.

    Supposedly, Chicago was going to use their 4th pick to obtain Miles and 7 for Mihm. Now, if Miles is not there, they might go after a shooter preferably at 4 and then hope for Mihm at 7. Dermarr would be their first pick at 4 if Miles is not there.

    I'll be mad if the Clipps take Miles. He's a young guy who needs a good organization that will give him a lot of support in getting his career off the ground and in becoming a good player. If he has to play for LAC for 5+ years, he'll never amount to anything. But, he could be an all-star if he's picked by Chicago or Orlando.

    If the Clippers can hold him in LA, then I think it's a worthwhile gamble. A better choice than Fizer. Some players are meant to be stars. He looks line one of them. I just wonder who is going to teach him the game of basketball out there? That's my question.

    Was this a jedi mind trick or what?

    Once, I saw a guy not cheat on his girlfriend merely b/c I complimented her (she was out of town), so stranger things have happened.

    Too bad there wasn't a conspiracy to make sure Moiso got picked up at the #3.

    Wha can figure the Clippers. Miles and Odom? Are they going to play Odom at the 4? Miles certainly can't play there. I think if they pick Miles it will be to trade him.

    In a way, I hope the Clips pick Miles. That may be the Rockets only chance to get him via a trade.

    I figure that they would pick Miles at #3 and trade him to Orlando because Chicago might take him at #4, knowing they could get Mihm at #7.

    Hopefully any idea the Clippers have for drafting Miles would be for trade purposes. I'd hate to see someone with that much potential rot in the Clippers organization.

    But...just for fun...if they Clips don't take him at 3, Chicago might take him and pick up Przybilla at 7. Leaving Orlando to pick up Mihm if they want....then to increase the dreaming power for Orlando in FA land, that would give them Mihm, Duncan, and Hill......really scary!
