' 07 Go ten days for class extensions

If only six first Rounders from the 2006 NBA draft contract extensions before the Halloween date in last October year achieved we experienced a new low in the modern rookie scale era.

And now we are most likely heading for a new low.

The deadline for the extensions for the 2007 first Rounders is a day later than üblich--on November 1 pushed because on a Sunday this year compared to a business day Oct. 31 fällt-- but it take a late run on five extensions before this year's buzzer for you below.

You have probably heard or read by now, backed up extensions to date only two first-round conscripts from 2007: No. 2 overall pick, Kevin Durant (85 million $ max much about five seasons from Oklahoma City) and no. 9 Joakim Noah (60 million US dollars plus incentives over five years from Chicago).

Thanks to a growing aversion Leaguewide under GM to hand out extensions before you know the details for the next collective agreement - and the lukewarm overall appreciation for many of the players taken in the Durant--all others of the ' 07-class displayed is restricted free agency in the summer of 2011 headed for, unless of course you can create an extension in the next 10 days.

Who has some prospect of accession Durant and Noah?

It seems only a strong contender to be present: No. 3 overall pick Al Horford.

Despite constant chatter in the last days, the Horford and the hawks have made little recent progress in the negotiations, maintain sources close to the situation a deal big man... and the fact that Horford in negotiations by the same agent (Arn Tellem) is present, before the deadline given Horford's status as a borderline all-star remains probable, pressed the largest Treaty of summer (123.7 million $ six seasons) from the hawks for Joe Johnson.(Word is the reigning sixth man Award winner Jamal Crawford, meanwhile, wait until Horford's window over before that has seriously Atlanta has the idea of signing Crawford, enlargement he searches.)

As for names outside Horford there only maybes aplenty.

A source with knowledge of Greg Oden's think ESPN.com said that 2007's total has resigned No. 1 pick up with the idea that an extension in the Blazers have not forthcoming pay said Oden is not even for it, press, after in the next CBA--appear only 82 games over its first three seasons, because he knows it is better to try to a stellar season together and go with restricted free agency-provided limited free agency still exist, to negotiate as now against his long injury history.

Pick Jeff Green No. 5 overall?Oklahoma City, how ever and ever, the process has been very quiet about his intentions, but a source of close to this week said that Thunder general "not close manager Sam Presti and agent David Falk" a business despite maintaining a regular dialogue on the Angelegenheit.Der continue to believe that OKC wants to save money for the next summer if point guard Russell Westbrook is eligible to get Durant just the kind of extension.

Who else?

No. 4 Mike Conley (Memphis), no. 7 Corey Brewer (Minnesota), no.15 Rodney Stuckey (Detroit) and even no.26 of Aaron Brooks (Houston) appear highly unlikely extended be reluctance to spend money before a new labor agreement in place is... thanks to your team and with Stuckey's situation complicated by the Pistons sale in progress.

A source with knowledge of the Washington think recently said that Yi Jianlian and no. 14 Extensions for no.6 Al Thornton would definitely discussed are, but that's as far as it has come to this point.(Although I tend to believe that the Wiz after Yi saw follow-up with a good start in DC, still trying his strong play in the World Championship in China could to sell him an Andray Blatche type deal.)

I also said, file removed at least the way no. 23 Wilson Chandler could make a late fee for an extension, if only because in the first year which would find a new business of the Knicks to hold approximately $ 6.5 million less than its projected free agent Cap next summer.

But the only confirmed new name we can add to the discussion is no 22 Jared Dudley, the Suns core alive has considered enlargement talks this month has its origins as a reliable spark plug and fan favorite in Phoenix Dudley as a member.

"" We speak and spoke for a few weeks,"said Dudley's agent, mark Bartel stone, ESPN.com Thursday.""You have made it very clear that want Jared to be there and made clear Jared is Phoenix, where he his will.Ob which means we can make a deal, that makes sense for both sides, we must wait and see."

They are in accordance with the design of the San Jose State's Midnight Madness celebration.

We hope to drum the interest of the men and women Basketball school in the notorious for bus and its apathy sports, San Jose State athletic Department agreed to revive Midnight Madness, and gives the class the opportunity to design the Lilienthal's entry to the top of the page. Among the activities planned Friday night are students for the dunk contest, must meet-and-greet and buses, and the game "knockout", which will pit players against some of the fun of fans a chance to win prizes on the line.

Daniel Hackett, first year graduate student in Lilienthal: n class, "we are trying to mirror the NBA All Star Weekend pieces," said."It has meant is an interactive, fun experience for the fans that offers some of the entertainment that I hope We 've. increased participation to transform and give a better relationship with the fans of the team."

Midnight Madness is the first event, not only for San Jose State Basketball but also participation in the program for sports marketing category.

Although the Spartans will be 14-17, the period in which they finished sixth, WAC, there is no reason to believe they could be competitive season.A year in which many groups of replace the WAC top best players San Jose State returns the League leader in the transfer of the other, the former Washington Adrian Oliver, that an average of 22.5 points in a game last year.

"Athletic Department, it is believed that this project really means a lot to us, for us," in Hackett said."We are really thrilled with them and make this a success in our category and title, and this group the entirety of the community to be successful, and we would like to help."

Is not certain how the class Hackett should be classified under the Midnight Madness, in the design, but it is based on the success of the event and the participation of the combination, in its sole discretion, deems to be necessary.

Something that would help class Basketball season is that one of the five students have actually San Jose State basketball-a member of the group. "top of the fifth year the guard Justin Graham, the team's second-leading those exported otherwise, actually helps you to plan an event that he or she participates in the Friday.

"It is fantastic," in Hackett said. "He is a great context, and it provides information on the insider dealing what works and what does not. [1] [2] He gives us to know, "That energize us really as a group will" or "this is not going to do a lot to us."He has received a large unique point of view. "
