  Eric Murdock *will* be staying in Miami. I heard an interview with him on ESPN
International, and he has expressed that he loves playing with Riley, Hardaway
and Mourning.

The Nuggets will trade down so they can get another big man, but only expect
this if Olowokandi is gone. If he isn't, then expect them to pick him up and
package Jackson and Garrett to Toronto for Billups and one of their picks in the
teens, they have the 16th and possibly the 19th, their option with the Blazers.
