Difficulty: Easy

1. Immerse yourself in the NBA Draft. Fortunately you don't have to wait long after the conclusion of the NBA Finals to focus on the NBA Draft which will be held on June 28, 2007. Surf the Web and read the boards for updates on the hot prospects entering the draft this year. Some hot sites are NBAdraft.net and Draftexpress.com.
2. Catch a WNBA game. It's no coincidence that the NBA, which also owns the WNBA, starts the WNBA season in May. By the time things get serious in the WNBA in mid-summer, television coverage on ABC and ESPN kicks into high gear with at least two games per week.

4. Get outside! Play some pickup basketball and challenge your neighbor to a game of H-O-R-S-E. There is life after the NBA and the fresh air just may help clear your head as you ponder your team's prospects for the upcoming season.
