Ball Don't Lie - NBA

A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Memphis Commercial Appeal. Remember how I wondered if Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace was going to be able to work his own draft, and Woj wondered if Tony Barone would be usurping powers? Yeah, that's not happening. Michael Heisley (above, left) is back in charge in Memphis. Maybe Mortgage Boy asked Dick Versace for advice again.
PF: Fear the Beard. Baron Davis talks about his youth camp, "White Shadow," beards.
SF: Docksquad Sports. Steve Nash's charity soccer game, featuring a whole host of NBA talent, football soccer players I've never heard of, and TV's Marc Stein.*
SG: What Would Oakley Do?. NBA Bloggers mock the draft. By guessing at the selections, I mean.
PG: Food Court Lunch. Chris Bosh introduces Jermaine O'Neal to life as a Raptor.
6th: Wikipedia. It's a wiki-entry, so proceed with caution, but Shaq's former Sheriff buddy has a bit of a dodgy history. Thanks to Terry for the link.
7th: USA Today's Game On!. Feast or Famine draft picks.
8th: DallasBasketball.com. Is Dallas trying to move into the top 10 tonight?
9th: The Blowtorch. Your all-inclusive 2008 NBA Draft Manual.
10th: Yahoo! Sports. Michael Beasley, bit of a nutter.

*If you have a Facebook, and I don't (these could be pictures of old Dodge Darts, for all I know), reader Nik was kind enough to send along his Facebook'ed photos of the Nash charity game.

**For those that don't have a Facebook, the pictures can be found here.

    By the way, Heisley defered to Wallace's suggestions on the trade of Love-Mayo. Iavaroni (who doesn't have a guaranteed deal for the next three years) was against the trade. Heisley had the final call but from all indications he took the advice of Chris Wallace in making that deal.
    Heisley was more involved but it wasn't like he ran the show.
