Rumors from Peter Vecsey

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

A few interesting nuggets from Vecsey today. He claims VladRad is a top-10
lock. Is it just me, or is the top 10 getting awfully crowded with "locks?"
Yesterday we had Loren Woods, today VladRad. If true, who's falling out of
the top 10? Diop? Joe Johnson? He also says Dale Davis is available, as is
the Bulls' fourth pick (along with Mercer and Fizer), and the Suns are
willing to deal Kidd or Marion (now those are some interesting names!).

Here's the scoop:

SECOND biggest buzz out of Chicago's Hoops Gym (next to Michael Jordan's
full court romps against top pros) was the provocative play of Vladimir
Radmanovic, who put on a 60-minute show for about 100 NBA scouts, coaches
and GMs, in Chicago for the NBA's pre-draft camp. 
The 6-10 Yugoslavian dazzled his audience with his ball-handling skills and
shooting ability, reminding everyone of Peja Stojakovic. Sources are saying
Radmanovic is guaranteed to be drafted top ten later this month. The team
that selects him must ante up 300G to buy him out of his Belgrade contract. 
...
For much of last season there were bogus reports the Blazers were shopping
Dale Davis. Last week they put the for sale sign on him for real. 
When Doc Rivers says there's no way the Magic will be disloyal to Grant
Hill, that he won't be traded for Chris Webber or anybody else, believe him.
It's not going to happen, at least for the upcoming season. Orlando sources
do acknowledge that rookie-of-the-year Mike Miller might be moved if it
meant securing either Webber or Antonio Davis. 
THE Bulls are actively looking to deal their first round pick (No. 4
overall), as well as Ron Mercer and Marcus Fizer. The Suns also are
aggressively trying to renovate their roster. No one is untouchable. Not
even Jason Kidd or Shawn Marion, who disappeared in the Kings series after
outplaying Stojakovic in Game 1.
