Derrick Rose is pretty slick

Derrick Rose had a couple of highlight reel plays yesterday

First check out his move on Andre Miller

And check out his block of Andre Miller, the top play from yesterday’s game (last highlight)

And that Devin Harris-Jason Kidd trade is looking worse every day. Devin Harris sliced up the suns for a career high 47 points yesterday (and recently macked the Lakers girls)

Pat Riley must be nuts

If you weren’t already sufficiently bombarded with draft news, Pat Riley has developed new reservations about Michael Beasley – he’s apparently “uncomfortable with [Beasley's] personality”.

Ok, Riley has got to be an IDIOT to be pass up on one of the best college prospects of the decade. Beasley’s a beast. He averaged over 26 points and 12 rebounds. Double-double machine. He’s more of a knockout than Kevin Durant and no one had any doubts about him. You put Beasley with Wade and Marion and that’s an Eastern Conference playoff team.

So, now there’s some speculation that Riley is bluffing about not wanting Beasley so that a team with the No. 4 of No. 5 pick trades up, and then the Heat can still get Mayo or Bayless. For instance, they could trade the No. 2 pick and an expiring contract to the Grizzlies for the No. 5 pick, maybe Mike Conley Jr. and mike Miller – although why Riley would want that instead of Beasley is beyond me. I get that he wants to win now, but they can’t get out the East with this roster.

And why does everyone want Rose over Beasley anyway? The Bulls could REALLY use Beasley, too, since all of their post players can’t score.

Regardless who the Bulls and Heat pick, this draft will be remembered as a pretty lame class. Truly, after the top 6 or so, there’s NO depth. We’re going to be talking about this one with the 2000 draft. Remember anyone from that one? Yep, didn’t think so.
