Amateur: Predict who stays in school next year

[djohn2oo8]

And the growing view among NBA executives seems to be Jabari Parker will not leave Duke this year. Chicagoan Jahlil Okafor, a Parker friend and big man, is going to Duke next season. Parker is a bright young man with a strong family and the feeling is he understands both the importance of education and feels he owes Duke and the chance to have a great Duke team, which more than likely is the next two seasons. Plus, Parker has seen what staying in school has done for other greats compared with the tough starts for even stars likeKobe Bryant.

Nobody wants to play for Kirby, Pringles, and Fredo

John Hollinger: (3:57 PM ET ) Not really. On the court he's been absolutely brilliant, perhaps the best payer in the entire league (although Wade's PER is higher). When I said a week ago I couldn't endorse him for MVP, it was because of the other stuff, because it reallly affects their bottom line. To wit, nobody wants to play with him, which is why players weren't exactly flocking to accept LA's midlevel exception this summer. That's the one argument I can see for somebody like Nash vs. somebody like Kobe -- everybody wants to be Nash's teammate, and nobody wants to be Kobe's, and that impacts the quality of personnel their teams can acquire.

Mitch is adjusting his ratios as we speak.... it's now 10% tanking, 90% trading for Fatmelo and giving Rudy Gay the max

Mitch trades his first round pick and Gasol for Melo, who walks anyway

In retrospect, shouldn't your sig have a video of Wiggins now?

[Katherine Robinson]

Embiid is a brilliant kid, he leans the game very fast and I know he'll make the right choice for his future.

It should have videos of Mel and Rdy Gay, since that's who they're getting

Nah. I think Embiid's ceiling is much higher than all of the prospects. I'm hoping that he pulls a Kobe, and says he will only play for the Lakers.

Guy will probably stay in college a few more years for graduate study and not enter the NBA draft until he reaches the age Scola was when joining the NBA imho.
