Pacers' Bird Prefers Polish to Potential at No. 11
The 11th pick in the NBA Draft hasn't yielded much in recent years but Larry Bird is convinced that's about to change. Bird believes the Pacers will be able to acquire a player that can step in and contribute next season with their first pick Thursday night. That would buck a trend that has produced just one 2007-08 starter (Golden State's Andris Biedrins) and no All-Stars from among the last 14 players selected at No. 11. Of course, it's also the slot that produced Reggie Miller in 1987. - Read More...

"But it's not like he's going to lose his shooting touch from 18 feet." Meanwhile, forward Chris Webber was inactive for the third straight game with a sore left knee.

Biedrins Won't Be Lost Among the Trees

Heat's Marion Attracting Lots of Interest
In the MIAMI HERALD, Barry Jackson writes "Although Pat Riley said he wants to keep Marion, Miami's first offer wasn't close to Marion's wishes. The Warriors like Marion, 30, and likely would deal Al Harrington (who is due $9.2 million and $10.2 million over the next two seasons), but appear reluctant to include restricted free agent center Andris Biedrins in a sign-and-trade. Point guard Monta Ellis told the Warriors that Miami is among teams he would love to be traded to, but Golden State hasn't been receptive. A Marion-Warriors scenario might need a third team. The Clippers like Marion (who is due $17.8 million in 2008-09) and were willing to do a sign-and-trade involving Elton Brand and Marion after it became clear Brand wouldn't re-sign. But Brand was headed to Philadelphia by then, and the Clippers now lack appealing assets to acquire Marion." - Read More...

Warriors' Wright Remains A Mystery
In the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, Tim Kawakami writes "he's livelier than Patrick O'Bryant. He's cannier than Ike Diogu. And he's probably faster than Andris Biedrins. Beyond that, Brandan Wright, who missed summer league because of a hip injury, is a blank. Until there is actual basketball being played and Wright's rookie season with the Warriors begins, Wright will continue to be a live-wired 6-foot-9 blank. Wright isn't loud, but he has the same Tar Heels swagger you see in every North Carolina product." - Read More...
