I think they can. They got experienced veterans in Camby, Howard and Andre Miller to guide them through comparing to the Hornets, Grizzlies and the Clippers.

That's terrible news, all the best to AI's family.

Perkins won't fit with Nellie anyway so this would be a bad trade for both the W's and C's

I second that.

It gets boring after a while. NBA need changes and I think we need some new contests. I was the most excited about the Skills Challenge as that is relatively new.

Personally thinking, this is worse than the Desmond Mason win in 2001 or something and I thought that was bad enough.

Well that blows.

There's no shooting guard in the West line-up anyway so putting Dirk in the starting line-up sounds reasonable.

I like the nickname that ESPN gave to Collison during the game highlights. DC2, goes well with CP3.

It is harder to get good shooters that play at least an average D than to get an athletic swingman. Gotta go with JJ.

You're kidding right. Billups over LBJ? Anyway, if the Thunder end up as at least the 4th seed and Durant continue to put up those monster stats, give him the MVP. He'll be the one most deserved.

I personally think that A'mare is a better version of Kenyon Martin. A solid player whose stats were upgraded because he played with a great PG. Giving up Beasley, who could be a star in the future, doesn't worth it in my books especially knowing that A'mare is more than likely going to leave next season.

What sort of players can they offer? The main 5 and Crawford are gelling nicely but the rest aren't exactly players that other teams will be interested in.

I don't think the Rockets are going to let Lowry and/or Hayes leave either UNLESS they know they're going to get a star free agent.

That's a terrible trade to the Knicks and the Wiz but all they care is cap-room I guess. If that trade succeeds, the Rockets are definitely a top 6 seed in the West, maybe even higher.

Yeah, not only are they coming to the game despite the extremely poor conditions, but for a team that's really sucking right now.

ChosenOne summed it up. T-Mac would demand the ball most of the times so Jameer may well be sitting on the bench in favor of a pass-first PG while Dwight would not be able to be as dominate as he is now.

Any time you get Nazr Mohammed dropping 20-20 on you you know you got problems.

Yeah it's most definitely the mindset. When Kobe stand up and take care of business the others can, more or less, slack a bit but when he is not there, others need to pick their game up and Odom is clearly doing that.

I only know Shannon Brown has the statue of liberty dunk. Can anyone enlighten me to see his other dunks?

Wouldn't have made much of a difference as the Nuggets would probably have traded Andre Miller to get him. Instead they used Miller to trade for Iverson, which turned into Billups. Overall, not a big loss.

I believe that Kaman got robbed off the back-up C spot so I have no problem with this but now that the West only have Kobe as their true SG...would've liked to see Monta come in as well.

T-Mac would love Philly but Philly would not love him.

Apparently the Nets want to keep him now, which is a shame. He could be the X-Factor for a strong team like Jamal Crawford. All he's going to do now is rot in New Jersey.

I guess the Bucks want to cash in on Ridnour since he is playing great at the moment, I don't believe anyone will bite though until trade deadline day. Warrick could be attractive to some teams because he's got an expiring contract and that he is an athletic big man that still has some untapped potential. I see the likes of Spurs or the Mavs making a push for him.
