I voted D. Everything else contributed, but even at the half when we had given up 60 points on 60% shooting I was concerned that if our offense came back down to earth we were in trouble. Now it did that with a giant thud, but that's going to happen from time to time. In the NBA, you win with...

I'm sure I'll catch some flack for this, but the name that interests me the most this summer is Greg Oden. Yeah, I know the downside, but this would be the epitome of buying low. Oden has been extremely productive when he has played and if he does manage to stay healthy would be an absolute...

Kemba's had a nice year and really helped his draft stock, finally growing into his hype. I think he's a player who could be a possibility for us if we miss out on the Top 3 spot in the lottery. However, I do worry about his assist numbers. Those don't always tell the whole story since I...

Wow, thank you for the detailed reply. I was thinking that we don't necessairly need another player who can create his own shot, but a staunch defender and shooter would fit our needs perfectly. The rebounding seems like a nice added bonus. From your description, he doesn't seem to warrant a...

Baja, what's your take on Chris Singleton? I'm starting to get the feeling we wind up drafting 6-9 and DrafteExpress currently has him at 13. His basic description as a great multi-position defender who's hitting 40% of his 3s sounds like what we need. They don't seem too giddy about his...

The problem though are the 3 point shooting you mentioned and the lack of D. Udrih can be a rotation player on a good team, but I still think an upgrade is in order for our starting lineup.

Fully agree. They seemed to recycle some of the negatives we've already heard, but overall the article seems very positive. The ominous ending is we are in for a mediocre season this year, even though we have a bright future. No duh.

Ok, I see where you are coming from, you are talking about with the Kings. I was referring to other teams. I don't see them getting anything too valuable back for Yao because with most teams they would have to take back a ton of salary. I think considering what they are looking for, they...

He was fairly passive most of the game. Still looks like he is hurting, despite the late game heroics. However, thing is, of the 3 turnovers one was a completley BS charge call where Reke side stepped Conley in the paint and Conley flopped. The replay on the Jumbotron earned a raucus Booing...

Maybe I am confused here, but I think you are mistaken on the use of the trade exceptions. Those act like chunks of player salary that would allow the Rockets to bring in a more expensive player than Yao. However, they cannot use the exeption to subtract money from Yao's salary in the deal...

I remember that. I was squarely in your anti-Thabeet corner. And I agree, I have little hope for him. Other than looking lost, he just doesn't seem very passionate about the game. I've never seen or heard anything about him on or off the court that shows me he has that competitive fire it...

Well said. The exact ideas I was going to respond with.

That doesn't sound too bad. A lot of small assets, but Gibson is a solid bench player, Johnson has some upside but is a solid starter at best, and Asik has bench center written all over him. Even the first round pick would be low with the Bulls record. This deal seems to make sense for the...

The problem for them is none of their assets are worth a star player. If a team is ready to blow things up and start over, they're not taking back Martin, Scola, and Battier. They might have some interest in Brooks, but right now Houston is doing the same foot-dragging on rebuilding that we...

We'll see what Morey can do, but I would be surprised if they get much back for him. Maybe a late first round pick and a marginal young player with some upside (but not star potential). The problem is Yao makes 17 million this year. We can trade for him since we are way under the cap and can...

I think we have a Rocket's fan in disguise here. Daryl Morey is that you? Sorry, not trading Cousins for your leftovers. You'll have to blow it up and rebuild like we are.

On another note. Thabeet looks like a lost cause. He was clueless when he was on the court. He picked up fouls at a rate that would make rookie JT blush. Then watching the replay of the game tonight, while Hollins is diagraming the last play and the entire Grizzlies roster is hunched over...

Fully agree. Laughed when I saw the poll. There was only one answer I could give.

Was lucky enough to be at the game tonight. Felt like the old Arco crowds for the final 39 seconds, even though the arena was only 1/2 full. The energy in the crowd chanting "defense, defense" when the Grizzlies had their last possession was truly a crowd trying to will the home team to...
