Yes, those polls were preliminary to give GMs a better sense of where they stood, and were followed by a second trade deadline (maybe easy to forget because nothing got done).
Anyway, I look forward to the results, though I fully expect other GMs will continue to underestimate Memphis and, fair warning, I'm not above posting an "I told you so" when Bynum, Fernandez and Westbrook are tearing up the league.
McMillan said that early in the Olympics, after watching Rudy Fernandez in Spain's second game, he had a fitful night of sleep.
"I was so impressed with him that it was to the point where after the second time I saw him, I didn't sleep that night because I was moving my rotations around," McMillan said. "I swear I did not sleep. I could not sleep thinking about him. Because I'm saying, 'We can put him here, do this with him, do that with him and Brandon (Roy), and do this . . .' So he's playing for us. Oh yeah. I see that right now."
