Wow that should be a huge boost to Julian's confidence. Hope Peja takes it well. Im sure he realizes hes not quite the player he once was. very excited to see them play next year.

well i guess considering hes 19 he has alot of time to improve, but so far im not surprised he fell that far in the draft. I was more surprised when people were saying hed go top 10.

lol at the colonel ^

superbowl easily, because its one game winner take all. You cant afford to make mistakes. The only thing I dont like about it is it allows teams that really arent the best (giants over pats) to win it all. If it were a best of 7, I dont think that would happen.

dont see this happening. But it would deffinately put the mavs over the top in the west

Ya i agree i thought Akiyama deserved the win too. He was very dominant in the 2nd round and I figured that would carry him to the win.

So looks like Colanglo is giving up on Roko. Hopefully he can trade banks and maybe george for a decent wing player.

seems like the most likely option would be him returning to dallas

cant believe i forgot ray allen

kapono dirk nash calderon jr smith jj redick

I cant believe they dont want him for 5 yrs, hes the future of the team and an allstar

this had better not happen. Thats too much of a steal for the cavs.

Ya thats true, thats why I think the raps should look for a combo guard who could start at the 2. I dont think DeRozan should start just yet, and like you said if we get a 2 guard who cant handle the pt, we can always let delfino do it, I could live with that too. Murray wouldnt be my first choice as a backup pt guard either, but as a worse case senerio he could do a somewhat decent job.

ya i think we should go after a combo guard to start at the 2 but could also play some point. Flip Murray and Keith Bogans are two players who I think would be great for this team. Id also like to see Von Wafer. I was gonna put Marquis Daniels on my original list, but hes had such a dissappointing time in Indy, I just dont see him as a player we can use

Ya I had fight night 3 and loved it, so i can only imagine what this one is like. cant wait to rent it.

Really? its good but its nothing special. Its their first try at a UFC game though, so I have high hopes for it in the future.

hey! JJ Redick is good too!

I dunno, why would they just give a guy like Thomas to a contending team for basically nothing. I'd give him to a team like Memphis thats still not close to contending. Now if a 1st rounder is involved, it would make sense because im assuming a team like memphis isnt dumb enough to give up their first rounder. this trade will no doubt be elaborate.

this is just who I think the raps should look at. These are only Unrestricted Free Agents. Matt Barnes- He could bring some shooting, and possibly start at the 2. Keith Bogans- Same as above Anthony Carter- could be a great hustle backup pt who plays defense. Gerald Green- athletic wing. Luther Head- still has room to grow. could be a factor for us. Grant Hill- just had a great year with PHX, could start at the 2. -Doubtful he'd come here. Flip Murray- Combo guard to start at the 2 and play some pt. Played great for the hawks. Rasho Nesterovic- backup centre, leadership Ronnie Price- Backup pt who plays defence. Kareem Rush- can come off the bench and shoot. Von Wafer- athletic wing who could start at the 2. Provides decent defence. Chris Wilcox- Athletic big man. Provides strengh and grit at the forward positions. Anyone I missed? Anyone you really want? ps anyone in bold is who I think could really work out well for the raps.

Do you honestly think this? Its a skills showcase, and I think its pretty skillful to Dunk on anybody. Whenever I play against players better then me, I want to prove I belong too, and play a little harder then against players I know arent as skilled as me. How is this any different? This is just sad to see him try and cover it up, and he has recieved a worse rap for hiding it then if it was just shown. Remember Dwight getting dunked on by CP3? that was amazing, and Dwight hasnt done anything to cover that up. LeBron's just being a poor loser.

I dont think Memphis would be too bad for Iverson, its just for 1 year anyway. But he would take shots away from Mayo/Gay, so that wouldnt be helpful, but he could give them another scoring touch. I'm guessing hes out to prove he can still play in this league, and will play with a chip on his shoulder.

on realgm it said the trade exception was about 7 mill.

im surprised he didnt go for more. If he had waited, the Raps might have used their MLE on him
