F Kevin Love will spend most of the offseason in Los Angeles. That'swhere he attended UCLA for one season. It's also where he plans to workout with pals Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook this summer, as thethree did last season before they all played on the U.S. team that wonthe World Championships in Turkey.
Favors
3. Derrick Favors
I often compare player developmentto gardening. Some plants require almost nothing, can live anywhere andthrive no matter what. For instance, in NBA terms: Kobe, Wade, LeBron,Griffin.
But most plants require a good amount of sun, water, etc. to dowell. Give them special attention, and they reach their full size andcolor.
Favors should do really well in Utah, where he will get theresources he needs to become very good -- a coach who will use histalent, a GM who will build smartly with him in mind and, mostimportantly, a chance to play a lot now that the Jazz are regroupingand rebuilding.
At worst, Favors will flirt with being a double-double machineand a solid defender, qualities that would put him fourth on this list.But I suspect he'll get enough special attention to pass PatrickPatterson and become the third-best player in this class within fiveyears.
Number 2 on the "most promising futures" list?
Sorry, I don't see it.
Are there ANY Derrick Favors fans on this board who dare to defend his inconsistent and timid play?
You know he's the youngest player in the league right?

Probably the same folk who were with them down here last summer. Juice, Jrue, KD, brandon rush, Brandon Jennings, tyreke evans, etc.
You saying Dirk is inconsistent?Originally Posted by University of Nike
An inconsistent forward on a crappy team? I'm sure JA loves him.
With the way the Grizzlies gamble and the Spurs ball movement, this is entirely possible.Originally Posted by LiCeNseD To BaLL

If Dallas gets humiliated in the 1st round, where do they go from here? Any way Tyson Chandler takes a walk?

Try to get something of relevance around Dirk and Tyson. Deron would have been nice.

Trucker Jim out here in Portland just called and said that the NBA is wide open this year, and any team can go on a run and win the title. He named Portland specifically. All it takes is a 12 game winning streak he says..........then he blew his trucker horn.
If you think I am making that story up, you are sadly mistaken. I couldn't make something like that up, nor would I. That actually happened.
I feel like I get dumber by the minute living out here.
i use to think lakers' fans were the epitome of irrational homers.. but portland takes the cake (this also applies to their front office.. who seems to deem everyone untouchable)
and JA, the 3 players you named what is the lengths and amounts of their contracts? (since that inevitably will always be dallas' biggest problem to any trade.. unless the contract is expiring.. see: brendan haywood)
