Hey, at least LBJ played close to 100 games in the season before he apparently "quit" on Cleveland, Dwight checked out at the start of this year... have fun signing in New Jersey in the off-season douchebag. On a side note, still waiting for Demar to get it going.. somehow he is looking worse than last year, up to this point I am chalking it up to the added pressure, both from himself and everyone else. Dude needs to continue to get the to the line and do what made him successful last year. He gets a bad rap from the refs, but he can't let that stop him from attacking. I don't understand how someone so athletic can be such a bad defender either... I know he isn't overly quick, but he doesn't fight through screens, and just seems really lackadaisical on D more than anything. Also have to admit how impressed I have been with Bargs so far.. still not a great player, but he is clearly playing with more fire than he ever has as a Raptor. My gripe with Casey so far is his rotations, I know he wants to win but how is Magloire getting just a couple minutes less than Ed Davis?!?!?

I watched a bit of the game last night, honestly Blake Griffin just looks like a huge small forward out there to me when he plays.

Why anyone would want Cousins is beyond me... everyone thinks they can be the guy to "fix" a player, but it fails more often than it succeeds, not worth the risk of some bonehead like this ruining your dressing room. It is one thing for an ultra talented player to have a bad attitude, you can still win, but a guy like Cousins, no...

Everyone just keeps pumping Casey's tires.. I love it... defensively we are so much better, but we are really far away offensively.. Demar hasn't taken the leaps I had hoped/expected, but then again it is still early... I am losing faith in Bayless' willingness to be a pointguard each passing game. Bring over Barnes and Val next year, and I think we are looking like a pretty nice team moving forward.

Demar needs to get back to what made him successful last season. He isn't attacking enough, and is taking too many jumpers, a lot of which are contested. I just feel like he is forcing rather than letting the game come to him.

lol. hold your horses rocket fans.

I don't understand why you guys are so reluctant to give up those 2 for Dwight... sure it sets you back a bit (not as much as I feel a lot of people think), but in terms of value, LA easily comes away the winner... when you can get a top 5 player without giving up your best player, you do it, worry about everything else after. Dwight-McRoberts-Ron-Kobe-Fish is a 50+ win starting 5 still. Think of those teams Dwight was winning those games with.... LA is still a contender after the deal... Pau is close to being valueless, and Bynum is inching his way there as well with each injury he experiences.

I am fine giving him a 1 year extension, we should remain non-committal to him until we give him a legitimate playoff squad to work with (it is debatable whether we are one right now).

Vince was fresh off a 21 PPG 5 REB and 4AST season, and was a borderline all-star.. at the time, Orlando stole that deal. Sorry to Lee, and don't get me wrong i love the kid's game, but he was/is a role player, and Vince was a borderline all-star at the time. Nets trade VC, then go 12-70, hmmm. At the time, Orlando made the right choice, hindsight is 20-20 of course, but even to this day, you take VC for that package before you give Hedo 10M a year, hindsight or no hindsight (even though they managed to do BOTH lol)

I have always said if Weems narrows his focus to spot up shooting (with occasional bursts where he can utilize his other skills which are very inconsistent) and defense, he can be a very successful player in this league... look how much money those two skills earned someone like Trevor Ariza, hell Ariza isn't even THAT good at one of them. I think Weems can be a good player if he comes to the realization that he is a role player in the NBA, and not a scorer.. if he can get his mind right, I think Anthony Parker is a terrific comparison.

Accountability???? I almost forgot what that was..

Can someone explain why Demar only played 25 minutes? Davis is a stud and has been for a while now, get this dude more run!

Damn we got scrums already, maybe this season will be more entertaining than I thought... this is the kind of shit I love.

Shit is all conditional... we'll see if he is saying this a few years from now if they aren't championship contenders anymore.

Chandler is massively overrated.. Dallas made a calculated decision to not invest 15M annually in a guy who plays less than 30 minutes a game. Chandler is nearly 30 with a lot of miles on those legs, and he is a guy who relies heavily on his athleticism to be effective. Who knows how long it is until the Tyson Chandler that played in Charlotte 2 years ago re-appears? The Mavs made the right choice in letting him walk. Dallas is no longer in desperation mode, they can start thinking about what they are going to do a few years from now.. they still have enough talent to be a top seed in the west and make a run, and that is without giving someone much more money than he is worth.

Depending how that Wolves pick turns out, and how Gordon turns out as well as Aminu, it is definitely possible. EDIT: Bottom line, they took the sure thing in Chris Paul... now they are ensured a playoff caliber team the next half decade, and Griffin re-signing is probably a lot closer to certain than if they stood pat.. this move, I feel, was made entirely to appease Blake Griffin.

Kadri called up today... hopefully this is the last time he is called up, and he sticks.

Ah man that is a tough break... dude gets a few extra months off and still gets an injury at the start of the year... dude can't catch a break.

Bargs looks like an out of shape 8th grader from behind in that picture.

Heard it here first.

Don't like the idea of paying defensive specialists close to 10M a year.

Dude is still huge, he probably works out a lot less being in the offices now too.

Love the Rajon Rondo comparisons.

damn should be a fun pre-game show at least.
