Por ejemplo, Butler, Wade y Grant por Mcgrady y J.Howard (juwan eh, el nº1 ni de coña ) entonces si, pero cualquier otra cosa es para mandar al paredon al GM, porque tiene ofertas muy buenas. Y seguro que le darán prioridad al que quiera llevarse a China Town.

El fichaje de Albert Miralles me parece una excelente noticia,ojala que firme.No por intereses deportivos,pues no creo que juegue nada,sino porq nos daran muchos mas partidos al tener un español.
DePaul recruit has Wright moves
March 5, 2004
BY TAYLOR BELL
It didn't figure that Dorell Wright would be a basketball player when he grew up. Baseball was his first love.
And it certainly wasn't part of his game plan to attend DePaul. He wanted to go to USC.
But he is and he will. If you believe the soothsayers who have observed the 6-8 shooting guard since he began to take the game seriously less than three seasons ago, he could become the best player in DePaul history. Yes, better than Mark Aguirre, Terry Cummings and Quentin Richardson.
He is so good that some observers speculate he might opt to enter the NBA draft in June. Even if he chooses to enroll at DePaul, they insist he only will spend one year on campus before going to the NBA.
That might sound too good to be true, but Wright is averaging 31 points and 13 rebounds in what is described as the toughest prep school league in America, the New England Class A. He was named the most valuable player of the recent National Prep School Invitational Tournament in Rhode Island after scoring 32, 35 and 41 points in three games.
As a high school senior, he took what had been an 8-18 team the previous season and carried it to a 21-8 record and the section semifinals in the largest class in California. It was the best finish in the school's 80-year history.
"He does things that other guys his size can't do,'' said Reggie Morris Jr., his high school coach. "He is the best high school player I have seen in this area, in a class with [the Boston Celtics'] Paul Pierce.''
"He's like [the Orlando Magic's] Tracy McGrady and Pierce, but he is more explosive and more athletic than Pierce,'' said Raphael Chillious, his prep school coach. "He has no clue how good he is.''
"It speaks to his potential that people are saying he can play in the NBA,'' DePaul coach Dave Leitao said. "He has that level of talent. He does awe-inspiring things. He plays the game the right way: He passes, shoots and shows flashes of brilliance with his athleticism.''
"He is the best unknown player in America,'' basketball guru Sonny Vaccaro said. "No one knew about him until last summer.''
That's why Vaccaro invited Wright to participate in his annual EA Sports Roundball Classic on March 24 at the United Center.
Wright has Chicago roots. His mother was born on the South Side, his aunt still lives here and one of his cousins attends Dunbar.
"This will be a chance to show people what I can do,'' Wright said. "I've only experienced three years of competitive basketball since I got serious about the game. I must be OK because I get a lot of attention. Sometimes I wonder how much better I can be.''
Wright, who grew up in Lawndale, a Los Angeles suburb, was not recruited heavily because he didn't participate in high-profile high school and AAU programs and because his academics needed polishing. Only USC, Utah, Nevada-Las Vegas and Long Beach State showed interest.
But the day after he returned from competing in summer AAU tournaments in Las Vegas and Houston, Florida coach Billy Donovan showed up at Morris' office. DePaul, Iowa and Connecticut were a step behind.
Leitao gained an edge because Wright wanted to leave Los Angeles. Wright also was persuaded by Leitao's reputation for developing future NBA players such as Caron Butler, Richard Hamilton, Donyell Marshall and Ray Allen while serving as Jim Calhoun's assistant at Connecticut.
But Wright wanted to be a baseball player. He didn't care about basketball until 11th grade. His dream was to play in the major leagues. Last spring, the promising outfielder/catcher hit .515. The White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Anaheim Angels scouted him.
Then Wright raised eyebrows at some AAU tournaments. He noticed that he commanded more attention for basketball than he did for baseball. Even though his father told him that a baseball career would last longer, he decided to concentrate on basketball.
"At one time, I didn't know you could get a college scholarship in any sport,'' he said. "When my AAU coach said DePaul wanted to recruit me, I said: 'DePaul? Where is that?' I didn't want to go to DePaul. I preferred UConn and Florida.''
But Leitao and assistant Josh Oppenheimer sold Wright on DePaul. And the more exposure he gets, the more impressed people are. Because he attends a prep school, he isn't eligible to compete in the McDonald's All-America Game or other all-star events that invite only high school seniors.
"I compare him to [former Fenwick star and Los Angeles Clippers player] Corey Maggette,'' recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons said. "He will have an immediate impact at DePaul. He will go to the NBA after one year, like Carmelo Anthony.''

En segunda ronda un PF Pape Sow (47) y un SF Matt Freije (53).
Parece que han preferido elegir en primera a un escolta que a un base, de los de segunda ronda no se nada. No me suenan de ningun mock.
