Haywood is average? Since when? Please, watch him play before making comments like that. Haywood probably is the best addition out of the three players the Mavs are acquiring here. Caron is so inconsistent, Mavs fans better prepare themselves for nights where Butler goes 0/7, and doesn't live up to expectations as the great defender everyone makes him out to be. Haywood on the other hand is a great rebounder (one of the best in the league), and a great defender (again, one of the best in the league). Add that to his solid play around the basket on the offensive end, and you have yourself a great complement to Dirk's play in the frontcourt.

Pau Gasol isn't soft anymore.

It will be a Jamison+Mike Miller+Mike James for Ray Allen+picks type deal I'm hoping.

J-Ho most likely will be coming back to Dallas as well, or at least that's what I've been reading. I don't know if they will land Haywood though, if that is the case, we better get a pick out of all this since Cuban is so attached to Rodrigue.

I know my brother has a class with over 350 kids, if one kid flips, one can only imagine the damage that could be done. Very scary to think.

The last pic is a pic of my car buried in snow lol.

Ainge isn't willing to throw away Sheed, I don't know why seeing as how worthless he is in the paint, but it probably has something to do with his experience in the playoffs. Jamison doesn't need shots, there are games where he requests to be benched after missing a few shots straight. He's a respectable veteran, something this Celtics squad lives off of.

Roughly 35 inches. I'm in Maryland.

How so? Jamison would be getting a ton of minutes (especially if Ainge was willing to deal out Glen for DJ Augustine). He fits the sixth man role perfectly. He's a stretch 4, but best of all, he has an excellent touch around the basket. It fits Doc's system. The only thing missing is Ray's ability to stretch the floor, Butler is a horrible shooter now and very inconsistent with his mid range shot. They would make Pierce play more along the perimeter and have Caron penetrate more to the basket. If the C's were to bring in any star talent now, Butler and Twan would be the perfect fit.

Jamison is a former sixth man of the year... He's at that point of his career where he wants to win, but he's too dedicated to the Wizards to request for a trade. Caron knows his situation and understands he's in a slump, he's not a star anymore, and would embrace the bench role (though I doubt he will be coming off the bench, it would be Jamison if they were traded). To say Jamison and Butler would cause problems in the locker room is flat out ridiculous.

What chemistry issues are you referring to? Jamison and Butler causing locker rooms problems? Please, Jamison and Butler are one of the nicest players you will ever see, and take it from me who has been around these two guys for over 6 years.

The Celtics have already stated they don't want to take on Jamison and Butler's salaries. This would be huge, but financially, I can't see Ainge pulling the trigger. Stop worrying guys, Washington would never do this.

Aaron Brooks probably should've gotten the nod instead of Kidd, but oh well, Kidd is the hometown guy, so this was probably just a move to increase ratings.

Shaq doesn't deserve to be in the ASG....at all. Good for Lee and Kidd, they deserved it.

It has to do with the fact that they won it all last year, and aren't as determined this year. Last year was the first title for many of them, this year they aren't as hungry because they already got the monkey off their backs.

"They break stuff down like you've never seen," Jay Triano said of the two men who are in charge of Toronto's analysis. "It's possession-by-possession, player-by-player, combinations of players, points per possession, where we're scoring, where we're not scoring, it just gives us another tool to help us get better at both ends." I was reading an article on RealGM about how the Raptors have began using Advanced Statistics to prepare for upcoming games. I know some GM's use this to evaluate their team and help build their teams into contenders such as Daryl Morey of the Houston Rockets (looking at their roster, you would never think they would be contenders, but Morey puts the right pieces together constantly to ensure his team is winning). I think it's a valuable asset that all teams should use if they want to win in this league, what do you think?

This is crazy, the snow is ridiculous. It's so windy outside.

Ok so the Wizards trade their two best players one being an expiring so they can take on some awful contracts from New York, lets do it!! How about then they trade their first round pick for Louis Amundson to make it even sweeter. In trading Butler and Haywood they are looking for both salary relief and young talent. All they are getting here is bad contracts. I'm actually struggling to put together a package that works for Washington when I look into it further. David Lee probably won't consent to a trade to the Wizards. Either Harrington or Hughes would have to be the centerpiece, but I can't much to entice Washington outside of players New York won't give up.

Ah, the OTR original. :glasses: Welcome back Gyula. Nick Young gets a few minutes every night, how does it feel?

Happy Bday Yama

I hate it when she tries to put emphasis in her words, her loud voice is annoying as [expletive].

Raekwon, with Method Man coming in second.

People are saying we have off from school the whole week. :glasses:

We got around 33 inches of snow. It's crazy, it took me 2 hours just to clear half of my driveway.
