Here's what I don't get though. Sterling has always been like this and it's been documented publically for a long time. SI ranked him as the worst owner in sports and ESPN the magazine wrote an article detailing his goofiness and racist ways but people just sort of swept it under the rug. It...

Here's to hoping he's a summer league invite. I'd think that playing for the Kings would appeal to him. Or so I hope. Then again, if they take Smart or Exum and then IT is resigned, I don't see a spot for him assuming McCallum is still the 3rd stringer. OTOH, if you go Vonleh or Randle then he...

I didn't realize that Xavier Thames, the SDSU pg, was a Sacramento native. If he's on the board in the 2nd round, he'd be a good pick regardless of where he's from. The Sacramento angle just makes it an even better fit.

This is a great writeup detailing where things stand. Interestingly, it notes that they can begin demolition of the mall while awaiting the results of the inevitable EIR lawsuits. According to this Q & A, demolition would begin in the first week of June and then that would take 3 months so...

I'm liking what I'm seeing and hope that the new building can maintain the intimacy that you have at STA. OTOH, I'm not wild about how there are not only 2 levels of luxury suites but also space between the lower level of suites and the lower bowl. Essentially, you are pushing the upper bowl...

And that wasn't even a tank move. The constantly complained about being too small in the backcourt and not having a true center. With that move, they killed 2 birds with one stone. They got their center and it opened up a starting spot for 6'7" Thompson at the 2G spot. The fans booing Lacob...

Good question although a lot of it has to do with how much you drive to the hole. While Williams and McLemore are great athletes, they aren't adept at drawing fouls via putting the ball on the floor and taking it to the rack. IT can obviously do that but for a PG, Vasquez isn't lightning quick...

After discussing board policies with Dime Dropper off the main forum, I'll clarify the meaning of my post. I did not mean to infer that Pau Gasol was soft because he's a Euro but rather that he is a euro who happens to be soft and was therefore an easy target for CP. I'm sure someone like Nik...

Major props to Big Cuz for doing this. I'll preface this by saying that more often than not, I'm very supportive of the league and unlike the typical angry fan, I don't get TOO bent out of shape about players befriending each other. Let's not forget that Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas used to...

Yes, Dallas figured it out but again, we're talking about a billion dollar stadium with much of that money spend on steel which acount for the pretty strong trusses. Are they really going to want to spend that type of money here? I know Vivek seems unlimited but even he has a limit at some...

On a more serious note, I think they are making a mistake by having capacity at less than what you have at STA. Back when new arena discussions began with previous ownership a decade ago, the team was selling out every game and could've sold out a 20,000 seat arena on just about every night had...

It doesn't sound like it's back in play. It appears as though KJ was responding to someone and didn't exactly understand what was being asked. The ability to open up the arena on the side and have people peer in seems to be in play but not the retractable roof. Hypothetically speaking, if the...

If they want to do that then that's fine as well. I guess the main point is that the current frontline won't work well unless you have a team oriented PG who knows how to help maximize their potential. Getting rid of Jennings and bringing in Rondo is a very good first step. You also have the...

We'll see. The future of that frontline is Monroe and Drummond. Josh Smith is playing out of position and when you consider how much he chucks up ill advised 3's, that could really backfire on them. Also, you need a good PG to help maximize the talents of those young bigs. That isn't Jennings...

I guess a lot depends on what type of demand there is. If demand calls for 50-60 suites then yeah, maybe they can close the gap a bit and make the seating similar to STA. We'll see.

I filled mine out. I'm really hoping for a single tier of luxury suites as opposed to two. If you go to Staples Center, you're sitting on top of THREE tiers and as you may have guessed, the sight lines are horrible and you can't see anything. Most small market teams have one tier. Milwaukee...

Rondo/Wallace for Jennings/Monroe would be a great move for the Pistons. Get a true SF to take Smoove's spot at the 3 then move Smoove to his natural 4 spot. And of course Rondo is a huge upgrade over Jennings.

I certainly like that idea more than the retractable one but we still need to consider costs. Roofs are usually the toughest and most time consuming part of construction. A glass roof would be tough to integrate into the building and would likely be costly. OTOH, a glass exterior would be...

It's being discussed because there are still articles out there that are misleading people. The Shaq/Cowbell Kingdom article is just one right now. We're merely setting the record straight against the bad info that is out there.

That's Shaq and a writer taking a concept and running with it. MLB and NFL have much larger buildings that can acommodate a retractable roof. There's a reason why the Spurs almost left SA when they played in the Alamodome. Domes don't work for the NBA and a retractable roof building will take up...
