Posted Wednesday January 07, 2009, About: Sixers consider trading Miller

Unfortunately losing Miller would ultimately cripple the Sixers long-term. A true point guard is not easy to find these days and Brand & Iguodala have eaten away any cap room the Sixers could use to sign a replacement. If I'm the Sixers, the only way I trade Miller is if I A) Get a young point-guard prospect back in the deal 2) Manage to move the rest of Samuel Dalembert's horrible deal in the process. Moving his deal and not resigning Miller should give the Sixers enough cap room to make on more foray into the market before they have to sign Thaddeus Young to a contract extension.

Posted Wednesday July 18, 2007, About: Gory details of Vick's indictment

Two things. I love dogs. Trust em more than people and not without good reason. Second, remember how the feds swore Vick was in the clear? Great smokescreen and it worked. If they indicted him, he'd be done. And guess what? Guarantee you it's an airtight case for the feds and that's without seeing who makes a deal first out of Vick's boys. Right now I'd bet on a 12 game suspension and his subsequent release from the Falcons. Too bad the Raiders just drafted Russell cuz now Vick is screwed. He better hope Mark Cuban gets that league going quick, because Vick will need a job real soon.

He will never be an NBA center. Probably will play the 3. Think more Tskitishvili than Yao.
