See, I was shocked that Hansborough was even around for you to have to worry about. With the Charlotte Tarheels Bobcats having the 12th pick, I thought it was a lock that he'd join Sean May, Raymond Felton, Phil Ford, Brandan Wright, Larry Brown, Dave Hanners and Michael Jordan down in the Queen City. Instead they opted for Gerald Henderson, which confuses me, because he went to Duke. It seems some scout of another was asleep at the wheel. I assume he's going to be the butt of many, many incidents of "good-natured ribbing" and such... you know, shoved in a locker, left at the airport, never getting any playing time. I'd be upset, but that's what he gets for leaving early.

I kind of adopted the Magic as my team this past post-season, but I see they traded two players I kind of liked for Vince Carter (one of the few acceptable Tarheels), thereby killing the team chemistry. Plus, in NBA years, he's kind of old now, and I am not sure what he can really bring to the team. Plus, Turkoglu's a free agent, and if he leaves the team, I'm through with them. This is why I don't get too attached to anything in the NBA, it's always changing. At least with college, you know the most you can hope for is four years with any lineup (and that's rare), so when people move on, it's expected. The constant switching in the NBA is the worst.

Speaking of which (this comment is probably approaching post length), I look forward to watching the insane struggle between Shaq and LeBron for control of the Cavs. So much ego on one team? Hmmm.... I wonder how that's gonna work out. (Hint: Probably not too well. I give it one season.)
