Flight

Getting that extra inside defender and rebounding force really would help, considering Horford is undersized and Zaza is very up and down.

Yeah I don't see Shaq working well with Atlanta. With JJ back, Atlanta is likely to keep up a pretty fast paced offense with all the young, athletic guys.

I haven't seen any highlights today, but that's hilarious

What? Jordan? Russell? What are we talking about here? And I do agree with the FA thing, I hate teams that build off of other teams' development and flat out money. I forgot about Ebanks, his defense will be huge I think. And GG, I know but the "If we stay healthy it's over" thing tells me Lakers fans feel a little too invincible after winning 2 championships.

I've put a little thought into this. Does Artest guard LeBron? Or Kobe? Cause then Wade's got either Artest, who's too slow on him, or what, Fisher? And what about Bosh? Pau's a big body but not the greatest defender. If Miami signs solid players to fill out their roster, I think you better be scared. I'm glad to see a Lakers fan excited that it might not be a walk in the park anymore, but it's going to take a lot. Even if LA stays healthy, it's not a done deal. Miami could, and probably will stop them if they both are healthy and Miami has a full roster of real players.

Well yeah, if LA wins 60 games and Kobe averages his high 20s points, who's to say Durant's 30 a game is worth more? Or what if Paul is healthy and averages 24 and 12, and 2.5 steals or whatever? He was arguably the MVP the year Kobe won his, tell me he isn't more valuable than Durant. Melo can do his thing and average 30 while Denver wins 50-some games. Lots of guys can win it. Hell maybe Dwyane gets injured again and LeBron still averages 30 8 and 8.

Guys like Chris Paul, Carmelo, and Kobe are still in the running right? Sure, LeBron having Wade and Bosh take touches away from him will hurt his stats, but you never know.

Beasley trade now makes more sense, although idk if I'd want Beasley or Miller off the bench more.

Giants having a power outburst! haha Posey has had 4 HRs in 4 games, Huff with 5 in 6 games... Torres is playing well too. We're gonna need to string together a few 5 game win streaks or something, but we're still in it in a tough division.

Don't the Bulls have it retired too? I mean really there isn't much to say. Everyone speculated the picture on his site looked like the Bulls logo. No Chicago. Chalmers wears 6. Whoopdie do.

This. Then their contracts expire, and they all move to Toronto.

Man, they all got what they wanted, now just shut up and be a class act, or at least not a dick.

Minnesota scores, Miami gets what they need but a second? What a joke.

He's planning for when they win the title, he can hold up his shirt and scream "NUMBER ONE!" and then say he's on top of the world.

I've lost all appreciation for Gilbert. I want a 7 game series with a buzzer beater, who cares who's playing.

I know, I just don't see the humor in it. I mean geeze I'm a Republican and I don't think it's funny. Probably just me though.

Huh, I wonder what they could be getting back. Is Love a possibility? Or maybe one of the 50 PGs they have.

He's gonna lead jersey sales hahaha. Is it just me or does the LeBron Heat jersey look weird?

If they lose a game, he's gone. In all seriousness, I think if they lose in the playoffs.

Let's go Blazers.

Yeah, I like that the NBA is completely different now, it was a little stagnant the last 3 years or so, but I feel a bit weird.

I have mixed feelings about this. LeBron truly wants to win if he's doing this, but at the same time, he had a storybook career if he stayed in Cleveland... it would have been too perfect.

2K11 is gonna be such a joke online. They better have a Rose-MJ-Whoever-Boozer-Noah Bulls team to counter haha.

He just said it live. Wow. From ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5365165 Much more to come soon.

Damn. Look out NBA.
