Kwame Brown has finally found his heart and Odom his brain. Credit Jackson or Jabbar? I don't know. But whatever it is, it's working. The Lakers will win 50 barring injuries, that's for sure. Who would have thunk before the season that the Kings would be on pace for a sub-.500 record and the...
Kings still find a way to seamlessly integrate ballhogs like Wells and SAR. That's impressive. We'll see if it continues throughout the season.
Devean's the next Worthy. Book it.
^ Yeah, I don't think the Kings have the pieces. That said, he can do everything you listed, except pass. So yeah, he'd be a great addition for the Kings' needs, and he's still very young.
Wow, this is a surprising signing to me. I can't see why the Hawks or Hornets wouldn't throw more than $30M at him. But I guess they were smart and realized he isn't worth more than that. Great signing by the Rockets, now they need a PG.
Atkins is subtraction by addition. Losing him makes the team better, as long as they replace him with someone that can move laterally.
And while I'm (cautiously) optimistic about this trade, it's going to take a great acquisition at one of the guard spots (preferably PG) for the Lakers to be...
Daniels will start and probably get a MAX MLE 3 year contract if he signs with the Lakers. He'll probably get 30 mpg, with a defensive minded sharp shooting PG backing him up (Smush Parker may be able to fill that role).
A poster on basketballboards.net summed up my feelings nicely:
The more I've thought about this trade, the more I've started to grow on Kwame. Not that I don't have my doubts; I wouldn't be the least surprised if this guy continues to be a heartless bust. That said, I still think he'll be...
The Grizzlies have no reason to S&T Swift to a conference rival like the Rockets. This is Jerry West we're talking about here, not Mitch Kupc....er, Isiah Thomas.
My first impression of this trade rumor was "God no", and since I didn't think it had any legs I ignored the rumor. My second impression upon hearing the surge of rumors since then was, well, since Caron Butler isn't that good, and the frontline is charmin soft, maybe it's a decent deal. My...
Simien would be a wonderful fit for the Kings....if he was ever healthy. That's one tradition the Kings do NOT want to continue to carry over year after year. But hey, if he's relatively healthy for the rest of his career, go for it.
Just be happy you have competant FO. Petrie is hard to beat, I'd take West, Buford and maybe Dumars over Petrie, but that's it.
My team is stuck with Mitch Kupchak.
