The BOLD and Beautiful NBA Playoff Picks


According to Michael Smith of the Worldwide Leader of Sports, the Baltimore Ravens are the favorite to land the Arizona Cardinal wide out, Anquan Boldin. With the Philadelphia Eagles trading for the Buffalo Bills' OL Jason Peters AND the New York Giants in talks with Braylon Edwards, the possibility of acquiring a big-time, franchise wide receiver is rather realistic. 

My initial thoughts would be for Mr. Ozzie and DeCosta to trade AT LEAST our 1st and 3rd round picks for Boldin. Essentially, Boldin would be our 2009 Draft selection. 

I'm ALL for this scenario unlike the fact that the Red Sox are slowly creeping back into the game tonight. 

Now for some NBA picks....
