    First the news:
    Center Donald Little from Cincy was arrested Tuesday on two felony charges for allegedly kidnapping, beating, and burning his roomate, Justin Hodge. Hodge told authorities that Little invited him to his home Monday, where he accused Hodge of stealing money from him, then hit him over the head with a whiskey bottle.

    Hodge also told police he was tied with tape to a plastic lawn chair, burned with incense and beaten, the police report said. Hodge also told police he was stabbed when he tried to escape.

    Little is being held in a Hamilton County jail in lieu of a $50,000 bond.

    And I was hoping we'd draft him.

    Now a suggestion:
    If we do in fact get the pick from Toronto, how about drafting Wilcox with our pick as a backup to Cato, and draft Casey Jacobson (if Butler is already gone) with our Toronto pick. He's an intelligent and very talented player how has tremendous range and can also take a defender off the dribble. In time, I believe he could provide some stability to this very erratic team much to the likeness of Hornacek, Barry, or Horry.

    Dallas isn't doing too badly while starting three white guys: Dirk, Nash, and Raef.

    Guess no one here would be interested in Peja, Vlade, Hedo, or Pollard so I won't mention them. Isn't Christie....oh never mind....

    I don't think we need a 2 guard with questionable defense. I like Wilcox, but it's questionable whether he can play center.

    I still think we should have kept Joel "The Vanilla Gorrilla Pryzbilla".

    Playing Jacobson at the 3 is what I had in mind. We need offense from that position badly and has decent size. He had several games last season with 40 plus points. We also know how prone Rudy is to have his 3 as a jump shooter, which is another reason why he'd be a good fit. When the double team comes, I'd prefer Jacobson shoot versus Terrence. Just please , please --- get rid of that three guard (really PG) line up.
