Does anyone know if Jon Deibler didn't make the NBA or if he just went to Europe when the lock out was still going on?

I think he knew Europe was the place for him.

Would you draft this guy?

In March of 2008, Junior Royce White was kicked out of DeLaSalle High School (Minneapolis) for undisclosed reasons. In October of 2009, then Minnesota forward Royce White was arrested for shoplifting and assault. He was later dismissed from the team by Tubby Smith. It was later publicized that White suffered from an anxiety disorder which has been blamed for many of his off-the-court transgressions. His specific issue with traveling via airplane/fear of flying has also been well-publicized.

Royce White after Iowa State knocked Connecticut out of the NCAA Tournament (referring to previous comments about ISU's frontcourt made by Andre Drummond) "You f----- up. You talked too much."

Royce White in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated (referring to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) "I don't like that kid. He's too hyped up. He's not as good as they think he is. He's a boy. I'm a man."

Some projections have him going in the lottery, if not higher. I'd pass...

Royce is an interesting case. He has a freaking ton of talent but he's definitely a head case. If he's still there later in the first round I'd say he's worth taking a chance on. Not lottery I don't think.

I did get a chuckle out of him calling MKG a boy, himself a man...yet he won't fly on an airplane...

He would be a huge steal for a playoff contender to get late IF he turns things around.

Rockets/Bucks...

Rockets send the 14th and Dalembert to the Bucks for the 12th, Shaun Livingston, Jon Leuer and Jon Brockman,

Rockets are trying to set themselves up to do some damage. Now have the 12th and 18th pick.
I think they have 12, 16 and 18

Jon Leuer showed some flashes as a rookie last year. Horrible trade for Milwaukee. I know they're desperate for a center, but Dalembert?

He said on twitter that those comments were from an interview right before the tourney game. It was just normal trash talking, which I don't think should be taken any more seriously than Ibaka's comments about Lebron in their series. I'd still consider him at 24.

I hope the C's take him with 21 or 22. He'd fit their needs.

[h=3]Jazz In Williams, Odom Trade Talks With Clippers, Mavericks[/h] Jun 28, 2012 2:52 PM EDT
The Jazz have been identified as a potential third team in ongoing trade discussions involving Lamar Odom and Mo Williams, according to sources.
Utah is willing to acquire Williams as part of a trade that would send Odom to the Clippers.
The trade cannot be completed unless Williams agrees to invoke his $8.5 million player option for 12-13.
The Jazz can use a traded player exception created when they sent Mehmet Okur to the Nets.
Dallas is looking to create cap space by shedding Odom.

Andy Katz:
Charlotte is "getting closer" to dealing the No. 2 pick, according to high-level source. Adds intrigue leading up to the draft at 7:30 p.m.

I'm guessing Cleveland or possibly Portland.

It's Cleveland and Houston. Also talks that it could be a 3 team deal between the 3.

Houston is hoping for Dwight, even if they have to rent him for a year.

I thought Bosh would be good enough to play.

Wade was a beast during the last Gold medal run, but I'm sure he won't be hard to replace. The US should roll again and I'm guessing will meet Spain again in the final.
