re: So if you're Will Wade...do you take Shaq's kid?

You have connections. What have you heard?

Also, where is Bubba Hotep when we need him?

My sources have largely gone cold. The last thing I'd heard was they were going to take Wilkinson and Anselem and then probably close it down, but 247 has more or less been reporting that for a while.

I don't know anything about O'Neal other than that we certainly stated our case for him but Wade got here way too late for it.

But given the current state of the program, the need for height (although you're talking about having this kid for TWO YEARS FROM NOW) and the kid's situation of having been no factor at UCLA this year (2.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 32% from the floor), you'd think we could at least make a good pitch to him.
