Anyone seen this yet? The rumors are starting to heat up

I especially liked hearing this:
-"If Nick Young falls out of the lottery (he has a good chance to go 13 especially), look for him to get a long hard look in Washington with the #16 pick—where a few teams believe he’s very highly regarded."

It also says that Philly and Phoenix are shopping their 2 late firsts to try to move up into the mid to late teens. I wouldn't be surprised that if Nick Young is taken before us that we move down and make that trade. That way we could still end up taking a solid shooting guard such as Almond, Afflalo, Cook, Belinelli, Byars, etc.. at either 24 or 21 and then use the later pick on either a big man like Aaron Gray, Sean Williams, or Kyrylo Fesenko (I think hes a huge sleeper) or a point guard like Taurean Green or Gabe Pruitt.

Yeah I really like our spot at 16. Every year someone who is supposed to go in the lottery ends up slipping. This year I think it all depends the Hornets at 13. If they pass on Young theres a good chance he falls to 16 (hopefully the clippers take a PG and detroit takes stuckey like they are rumored to do). If they take Young, someone like Al Thornton, Julian Wright, Thaddeus Young, and Jason Smith could fall to us and they all could be good trade bait to use for Phoenix or Philly. With such a deep draft there is plenty of talent left in the 20s.
