As you probably heard by now, Michael Beasley checked himself into drug rehab after posting a photo of himself on Twitter that more than likely showed a bag of marijuana on the floor. He reportedly is also suffering from depression. It’s a little too early to know what this is all about and way too early to know if it’ll have any effect on his career.

As Nels already mentioned, the Carnival of the NBA #65 is up at Red’s Army. And in a fortuitous coincidence, it is a Carnival made up entirely of Twitter posts. No marijuana bags are seen, however.

Nels also mentioned Matt Buser’s great AVP spreadsheet for five mock drafts he’s participated in so far this off season. You can’t say the dude isn’t keeping busy. Just wanted to let you know that I participated in one of those drafts, so you know its quality you can take to the bank and cash for a big bag of fantasy awesomeness.

Bleacher Report brings us a slideshow version of the best 5 fantasy players at every position. They’re small forward and center lists look like they were designed to get people talking, or possibly fighting. And, um, somebody might want to tell them to take Yao off the list.

Chris Bosh plans to become the first NBA player to release an iPhone app, which will allow his fans to track his every move during the season. I am eagerly awaiting a download provided we can get more quotes like this:

“Entertaining my fans through the use of technology allows me to continue to try and pioneer the digital space for athletes across the world.”

Give me more digital space. I need the digital space.

A sign you might need to reevaluate your life: You’ve bought real life insurance in case someone on your fantasy team gets injured.

The Sportz Assassin has a list of rules and suggestions for your fantasy football draft, but the exact same rules apply to a basketball draft.

SUPER FANTASY GEEK ALERT! Basketball Reference takes a long, hard and extremely numbers-filled look at Julian Wright, probable Hornets’ replacement for the departed Rasual Butler (from the team, not life in general). The conclusion? Super good defender with an offensive game that needs a little work. Think a young Gerald Wallace.
