Newman

He will stay at Orlando barring any sudden changes to the team.

Green is one versatile player. He just needs to develop a killer move to become an all-star.

I see him sharing equal minutes with Reggie Williams, so no.

I see 7th-8th seed possible for the Pacers. Collison should accelerate the development of other guys.

1. Give up Rip and Prince to playoffs-competing team for cap relief/prospects, possibly by combining them with guys like Maxiell and Jerebko 2. Give Daye some more PT and hope he becomes a similar player to Prince (I personally believe he can) Then to hope Stuckey becomes a player the Pistons expected him to be 2 years ago and Monroe to take over the majority of the duties inside.

Landry and Thompson should get the minutes at the 4 so Cousins should play the 5.

The overall quality of the West is better, but the East has the Heat, Celtics and Magic who, IMO, is better than any team in the West bar Lakers. I am still going to say West is better than the East though.

He played extremely well with the Knicks last year so I really think he should be a regular in the rotation if signed. Considering the scarcity of good big men nowadays, I am surprised he is still available.

Kind of torn between getting FIFA 11 or just sticking with my FIFA WC and FIFA 2010...gotta go to friend's house and try it out before making a decision but from what I have heard it is a definite improvement over both of those games aforementioned.

10-11 million.

I don't think any of the team will get 70+, but Heat will be close with 64-66 wins.

Is this all Shaq is doing nowadays? Trying to start verbal wars with guys like Dwight, D-Wade and Kobe? Come on Shaq, just because you can't be dominant anymore doesn't mean you have to be saying these stuff to get on the newspaper.

From one of the guys who got an early copy of the PS3 version of 2k11, he/she claims that it is inferior to the 360 demo in terms of graphics.

I normally don't consider ratings to be a fair reflection of the player in games as they are automatically generated based on a number of different categories. For example, Kyle Korver, who has a rating of 63 which is the second-lowest in the Bulls line-up (the full version has been released and if you want, I can post the link), is rated 63 because the rating is not based on only 3-point shooting but also the other things. As far as Dirk's ratings go though, I would say he should be at least a 85.

Billups, Rip, Melo, K-Mart and Nene would have been nice. J.R would most likely be in the deal but if not him/Afflalo can be shipped off for another big.

I thought he went to the Nuggets.

If I am not mistaken, the PG the Nets want in the deal is DJ Augustin.

Source I hope this doesn't have any effect on the rookies' performance but to stall on a contract for this long must have affected them somewhat in regard to how much the team wants them.

The Nuggets aren't getting a better deal than Favors, AK47 and 2 first round picks. Period.

I didn't think the Nuggets could benefit in any trade involving Melo, but getting AK47 and Favors and 2 first-round picks? Heck yes.

Mid-level exception amount of money for a serviceable big man? For sure.

Sheed retired at the right time. He would have gotten over 50 technicals with this rule. This basically takes away any emotion the players have for the game. Quite sad really.

Bynum is a definite pick if he remains healthy but I am doubting that he will, so I am going to go with Blake Griffin. This kid is going to be an all-star within three seasons. (fearless prediction here)

Just some minor signings: Alexander signing Strawberry, Watkins Shakur Don't think any of them got a guaranteed deal. Good to see Alexander signed though. He didn't get picked 8th for no reason.

So the Hornets pretty much traded Cole Aldrich and Darius Songalia for Quincy Pondexter, Willie Green and Jason Smith.... Green's contract expires after this season though so at least they will get some cap relief.
