Cohan's sleeze is well documented. He sues people (including friends who are now former friends) whenever convenient and avoids paying taxes until the IRS forces him to. It's an ongoing history with him. Bottom line is this is another situation where he just doesn't want to pay. If you don't...

Portland just went out and literally bought Phx's draft pick for $3M last summer just to take Rudy Fernandez so they could stash him over in Europe. How many owners can do that? They essentially "bought" the pick for Brandon Roy by getting their owner to take on an additional year of Raef...

In the end, people just wanted to dump this guy because he wasn't Phil Jackson. That's pretty much why the Maloofs dumped him. They figured, "We're never going to win it all with this guy." So they dump him and figure they'll win it all with John Whisenant or Eric Musselman going by the logic...

Miller has had seasons as good or slightly better than this one in the past. The point is, he's not a better player now than he was in 2003-2004, for example. Doesn't mean he's garbage and can't contribute. Just means that at around 2003-2004, he wasn't going to get better than that. And he...

I think most of his post was pretty objective. For all practical purposes guards typically top in ability at about 26 or maybe 27 years of age. That's not to say they go striaght downhill from there, but they just don't get any better. They don't become more skilled from that point on. There...

Rick Adelman probably wondering why coaches don't get the same treatment.

I agree that's how it should be looked at, but a guy like Mike Woodson in Atlanta has spent a lot of time giving big minutes to the young kids and he's helped them develop. Yet the GM has tried to can the guy on multiple occasions. A lot of good that did Mike. But the bigger issue for Woodson...

I don't think he thinks he feels he absolutely has to beat Muss' win total from last year, tho I'm sure it's crossed his mind. The bigger issue as pointed out by bricklayer is that a coach (especially a young coach like Theus trying to prove himself) is going to be looking out for himself every...

Agreed. I just don't know if there's a team out there that can trade away their expiring contracts and then take on KT's contract along with Artest's big new extension. Even the Knicks now seem loathe to want to do those kinds of deals. It's just not financially feasible. I'm sure Petrie...

They barely added any salary with the Shaq trade because they gave out two contracts in Marion and banks. In your proposal, the Suns are dishing out zero salary while having to incur Artest's ~$8M this season. That puts them in the tax.

Suns are near the luxury tax. They aren't adding salary. End of story.

A trade with Denver won't happen and here's why. According to Bucher, Denver has already taken Kleiza off the table. For another thing, Denver has one of the highest payrolls in the league. Their ownership doesn't want to add more long term salary. Adding a guy like Kenny Thomas and Artest...

Then why bother making season predictions at all, not just for the Kings, but for any team in the league? It's not as if pre-season is an accurate indicator of the upcoming performance, either. Last season is about the closest assessment you can make of the current roster. Unless there is a...

If an advanced scout doesn't know what he's talking about when scouting an opposing team, he's going to be fired because it's his job to know. There are no two ways about it. An advanced scout is not a "prospect scout". Teams have seperate prospect scouts specifically to look for HS...

Do take into account that (assuming CNNSi isn't lying about this) these are the observations of an actual advanced scout of an opposing team. This is the type of information he's going to give the team he scouts for when the Kings come up on the schedule. I'm sure the actual reports are far...

If they refused to trade Foye for Iverson last year, they're not trading their prized lotto pick this year who they are very high on for Artest. Nobody is offering their recent lotto pick for Artest. You're going to get about 20 cents on the dollar for Artest.

That's what people thought of him as coming into the league, but Hawks fans say he simply lacks the lateral quickness to guard SFs. And he's actually pretty tall. He's not a true interior presence, but he does rebound and block shots. He's not a guy who's going to intimidate the opposition...

All this talk of David Lee is just wishful thinking. David Lee is one of the few things that actually makes Isiah Thomas look smart. He's not about to trade Lee for a guy who, to put it plainly, is nuts and who's team is looking to unload him. It's more likely he's going to offer up the...

A guy with his passing ability had to have had an extremely high basketball IQ. The worst thing you could say about him was that he was the smartest or second smartest (behind Bird) 6'9" player to every play the game. As for Russell, he could still win as a player/coach because he could still...

I don't disagree with everything you say, but a few things I'd point out: -Shaw was indeed a role player. And role players tend to make up most of the NBA coaching spectrum, such as guys like Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, George Karl, Jerry Sloan, Mike Dunleavy, Don Nelson, Avery Johnson, Nate...
