How's a guy overrated when he's consistently one of the top 10 players in the league??? ...and former MVP??? Look at the guys results and stats, for christs sake!!! A lot of great players have never won a trophy. Don't play the "soft" card either. He's not a banger but a finesse guy...but not soft at all. He get's his 10+ boards every single year and always play through injuries.

The Mavs have been very competetive for a long time with Nowitzki as the anchor, and they still are. Keep it real and give the guy a break.

'Cos he's captain, leader and starter now. Going back to the bench will not seem very attractive, is my best guess.

Monta would be very interesting along side Kidd. I'd love to see what he can do away from the run-and-gun offense.

Stephen Jackson, on the other hand, is not half as good as some people seem to think. His stats are somewhat inflated due to Nellie-ball. His shooting % and TO # are horrible. Plus he's semi-volatile. Wouldn't touch him if I was the GM of a contender. Can't see him accepting a supporting role like in his Spurs days.

And to put real emphasis on the importance of this cardial arrest-type story, they dig deep down into the photo archieves and bring us...THAT??!!

What's the big fella doing there anyway?

Classic photo btw. Foyle setting up a 'dream shake' on Jerome 'The Clinic' James.

Sessions would actually be a great guy to put next to Wade, but I guess they like what they see in Chalmers.

Even considering Tinsley is beyond idiotic. How can he possibly help them?

Posted Friday August 28, 2009, About: Iverson: I'd love to play in Memphis

It's not a good sign for Conley, who actually started to play well after the AS-break. There's no way they're putting Mayo on the bench.

Posted Friday August 28, 2009, About: Iverson: I'd love to play in Memphis

You forgot Zach Randolph...he's not coming off the bench, nor will he settle for less than 15 shots a game. It will be a total disaster.

If they bring Iverson aboard, my guess is Thabeet will come of the bench, which is probably a good idea anyway. He's far from ready to contribute.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: T-Wolves: Rubio hasn't made any deals

Nice post, but in vain, I'm affraid. There's no getting through there...People will hate on this guy until he shows up and starts playing like Magic Johnson.

They will this year if Gilbert's healthy.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: T-Wolves: Rubio hasn't made any deals

You said it best. That's all you know. Thx.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: Magic bringing back Foyle

Oooh Adonal Foyle!!! They're really stacked now, aren't they? The Cavs and The Celtics are trembling.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: Saunders getting personal with Arenas

"If the Wizards are to succeed this season,..." Flip better pray it's a 100% healthy 2006-Arenas who shows up at training camp. Odds are against it.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: Agent: Lee may hold out on Knicks

This would be a stupid move. Just play up to your usual standards and there'll be a ton of offers next summer.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: T-Wolves: Rubio hasn't made any deals

Another ignorant and idiotic Rubio-rant from a prejudice fool who has never seen the kid play.

All Rubio does, Lost, is hang with EVERYBODY he plays against. Why do you think every expert had him in the top 3?

The Jerome James analogy only further proves the stupidity of this post. James blew up for 2 weeks in a contract year!!! How is that in any way comparable to an 18 year old Spanish rookie who has never even seen the NBA?

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: Grizzlies make Iverson an offer

Why am I not suprised...Chris Wallace seem hellbent on tearing this team apart and driving his best players out of town. What are the chances of Gay resigning if they pull this off?

Giving away Pau for dog scraps was the masterpiece, but adding Zach Randolph and now Iverson to a locker room full of young talented guys is pretty damn close. AI, Z-Bo, Gay, Mayo...all chuckers...where the hell are shots gonna come from? It'll get VERY ugly in a hurry.

If there's even remotely any reason to this, it'll be that Wallace A) ...is convinced that Iverson is still a major pull, and B) ...has completely given up on Conley.

And finally...how will they ever develop offensively challenged rook Thabeet? There will be absolutely no touches for him whatsoever!!!

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: How Hawks lured Smith from Cavs

Ahem...Pervis averaged 20/11 and 2.7 blks in '92. 17/9 and 2.2 blks the following year. That's better than Joe's 2-3 years of 'productivity'.

Posted Wednesday August 26, 2009, About: Stoudemire talks of leaving Suns

I'll go out on a limb and predict 25/10 from him next year sans the big ol' fat one.

Posted Wednesday August 26, 2009, About: Beasley's rehab stay was planned

Well, your guess is as good as mine. Sounds weird. I don't really buy the "..connected to last years violation.." stuff. A rehabilitation centre is a pretty serious step so he's in some sort of trouble for sure.

Posted Wednesday August 26, 2009, About: How Hawks lured Smith from Cavs

LOL

Had the 'pleasure' of watching his full array of skills in a 2000 game at the Palace against VC's Raptors. He did NOTHING but shoot jumpers from the top of the key and the Pistons fans were actually booing him....their own guy. Kinda surreal experience.

Posted Wednesday August 26, 2009, About: How Hawks lured Smith from Cavs

I'm on a fence on that one.

Kandi actually pulled a Jerome James in his contract year and played ok for a couple of months. I don't know. It's not really worth the braincells, is it?
