That's not even success for me. If the team can have a 10+ game improvement, I'll be happy. I easily see them winning 10 or more games than they didlast season. Its obvious that they want more though, and they can achieve with the talent they have.

Yeah, nothing says "We want to win and we're serious about doing it" like adding Zach Randolph and Allen Iverson...
But if the rest of Memphis fans buy into this BS as much as you do, they've accomplished their goal...

Everyone adds "15 pounds of muscle" during the offseason
We'll see how many of them can keep it on during the regular season though

Chris really wants to get paid this summer.
I don't even pay attention to stuff like this. Who doesn't work hard during the offseason?

Not sure how I feel about Pavlovic being brought in...
Kahn is certainly putting his own stamp on our franchise though.
Players that weren't with our team in the 2008-2009 season that are currently on our roster/or we own the rights to at this moment...
Jonny Flynn
Ricky Rubio
Ramon Sessions
Wayne Ellington
Sasha Pavlovic
Antonio Daniels
Ryan Hollins
Damien Wilkins
Mark Blount
Chucky Atkins
Olesky Pecherov
Henk Norel

Mark Cuban: Honestly, I think the Magic cost themselves a boat load of money. If they would have come out and said they would match any offer for Gortat, likemany teams including the Mavs often do, we wouldnt have bid. So Im not sure what their original strategy was. (see the knicks for examples of this)
Same with Bass. We offered to discuss a sign and trade for Gortat and others, but they didnt even want to discuss it.
The Magic are obviously good at what they do. their success speaks for itself, but i dont think either team outsmarted the other.
Question was whether if the Mavs would've tried to offer more for Gortat.
He also said that Gortat was their first and main FA target.

AP source: Desmond Mason close to deal with Kings
By JOSH DUBOW (AP) - 5 hours ago
Free-agent swingman Desmond Mason met with the Sacramento Kings this week and could sign as soon as Thursday.
Mason took a physical after meeting with Kings officials in Sacramento on Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press. Thepreson spoke on condition of anonymity because a deal had not been signed.
Mason played only 39 games last season for Oklahoma City, missing the second half of the season with a hyperextended right knee. He started 18 games, averaging7.5 points and 4.0 rebounds a game for the season.
Mason was one of the Thunder's most popular players after playing in college at Oklahoma State and later returning to Oklahoma City when the New OrleansHornets spent most of two seasons in the city after Hurricane Katrina. He joined the Thunder last season.
Mason burst onto the scene as a rookie by winning the 2001 slam dunk contest while with the Seattle SuperSonics. He's also had two stints with theMilwaukee Bucks. For his nine-year career, Mason has averaged 12.2 points and 4.5 rebounds.

Another T-Mac rehab piece... Long but good read.
http://espn.go.com/chicago/columns/blog?post=4479907&name=friedell
"If McGrady's recent workouts are any indication, it would be easy to assume that his game will have all of its dimensions back this season.
"I think he's gonna be a player like he used to be in his younger days, because his body is balanced now," Reavy says confidently. "He'susing all his muscles properly and everything's absorbing a force and creating a force versus just the knee."
Once he gets over any lingering doubts in his mind, Reavy is convinced that McGrady could return to an All-Star level as soon as this year."

Tracy McGrady has been working with Tim Grover and physical therapist David Reavy for weeks trying to get himself back into playing shape.
Reavy is so convinced of the progress that he suggested recently that the Rockets superstar could be ready to go by October 1 and back in the lineup when theseason starts, a recovery plan that would have him healthy weeks in advance of the average patient. Reavy and company have been working on a plan to evenMcGrady's body out again.
"His whole body was imbalanced from basically his shoulder blades down to his feet," Reavy says. "He was developing a lot of back problems ...He was developing strength in an imbalanced fashion. And what I see in Tracy, in general, he had no core strength, he couldn't hold a plank."
So Reavy and Grover devised a rehab plan that would help bring it all back -- the work is already paying dividends.
"[Tracy] took a hard fall seven years ago in 2002 and he said he was never able to dunk off his left leg [since]. We got him dunking off his left leg fourand a half months post micro-fracture, which is basically unheard of," Reavy says. "The results that we get here are basically unprecedented becausewe take the force off the injured area, we make the body absorb the force equally, so that it can heal properly and faster without the loading that it'sconstantly getting before.
