RE: Sam Smith has a different take on Podkolzine and Lampe

Oh, I don't think so. He likes to play GM-he's always proposing trades and
anointing "must have" draft picks, but I never got the feeling he was acting
as a mouthpiece for the Bulls. Maybe I'm wrong.

In case you hadn't realized it yet, Sam Smith has been a Bull mouthpiece for

<< This draft stuff is nuts. You read the Chicago camp roundups and every
 writer has a different list of guys who helped themselves. I'm looking
 forward to Andy Katz's second mock draft, which should come out soon. He
 always does one right after Chicago, and he tends to be more accurate than
 most. He's a REPORTER. That's something of a lost art among these sports
 writers.
 
 Anyway, here's the blurb from Sam Smith, which runs contrary to virtually
 everything else we have read lately. Smith seems to be anti-foreigner in
 general. He was thrilled the Bulls didn't get the top pick last season so
 they wouldn't take Yao Ming. Wonder if he still feels that way. Also, you
 can't make any judgments based on how many minutes these guys play in
 Europe. It's a weird system over there. Anyway, here you go:
