The move of Elton Brand to the 76ers greatly impacts the Western

Emeka Okafor is a beast on the boards and
defensive end. The problem is he has been in Charlotte on a very bad
team where he has often had to carry the load. If he could go to a team
like the Jazz where he could concentrate on Defense and Rebounding, you
would see his numbers increase and he would have the best year of his
career. It's a good bet that he takes the one year tender to be
un-restricted next year, otherwise he could get himself locked into the
Bobcats organization for the next few years...

Disguise
The 2007 NBA draft class was the most hyped and highly covered of any draft
class in the last five years and maybe even this decade - and 9 of the 10 first
picks were still teenagers. Something very profound has occurred in the NBA in
the past two years due in large part to the new rule that disallows any high
school student from entering the NBA draft until they are 19 years old,
requiring that they spend a year in the NCAA at a college of their choice before
they make the big jump. The 2008 draft class is looking to be infinitely deeper
than last year's as a result with freshman like Derrick Rose, Eric Gordon, and
