Another good thing about that trade for the Grizzlies.. Now when they fail maybe the front office will see the real problem.. HOLLINS

the team that should have got that 1st pick
Weren't the Celtics going to take Durant with the pick? Wasn't Danny Ainge in love with Durant?
Crazy how that didn't work out but then all of sudden they won the championship the next year.
coulda sworn it was all about Oden, i remember the hype.

Only dude Raptors should even consider putting on the block at this point is Bargnani, and they'd be selling low on him.

Ross, Amir Johnson, and Valanciunas are worth a look - they would never trade those pieces though

yeah, I lived with my girlfriend for awhile. The process that I'm not familiar with is arguing for pages about who is a fan of who..explain that one to us....OR (and this is a big or) we could get back to dicussing the NBA, as opposed to discussing other board members. take that to PM or exchange facebooks or something

NK, personally, I just don't get how you can root for both teams (again, that's how I see it)....Who do you cheer for when it's Lakeshow vs. Dubs?

Yes, that Raptors team may not be going anywhere (except for a 7th or 8th seed unless they get another major piece like Josh Smith), but the same could be said for the Grizzlies after that trade.

We may not be contenders at this point with the way ZBO is playing, but we are not about to be at the bottom tier of the Western Conference playoffs. I'll bet against our defense defeating any team in the league before I bet against another teams offense against us. We will more than likely remain in 4th place with the cake schedule coming up and team continuing to build chemistry.
Best case scenario this season is to hope for ZBO to catch fire close to the end of the year like he did in 2011. He has been battling a back strain since the last Spurs game from what Memphis media is reporting. So, maybe that's why he's been shooting the ball poorly.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/e...s-credit-for-taking-less-money-in-free-agency[h1]LeBron James wants credit for taking less money in free agency[/h1]

It had been a while since LeBron James said something phenomenally stupid to the media, even if just from a public relations standpoint. I can't say I missed them, but it is nice to visit something so familiar, like that person from high school you didn't really hang out with, but occasionally took chemistry notes from.
He thinks he's underpaid. Cool story. (Getty Images)
All of this is to say LeBron is back in action!
In an interview with ESPN regarding the nature of super teams and how the new CBA could end all that, James decided to talk a little about something he feels he's not getting enough credit for. Only taking a new max deal that pays him $17.5 million this season. From ESPN:
OK, couple of things. Break out the bullet points:
- James is right here. He just is. Any analyst will agree that because of the luxury tax, James is unbelievably underpaid. Baseball players' phenomenal amounts of money relative to their actual impact on the game is proof of that. There has been study after study done to show James is massively underpaid relative to his standing, and especially so relative to his production.
- He's also right that he didn't take the max. He did leave money on the table to join the Triad in Miami. It's easier for him, because of his endorsements, but he is willingly making less money than he could in order to help the team be better.
- James should never say any of this.
- This is so much a lose-lose it should be called a lose-get-beaten-with-PR-whiffle-bats situation. He can't look good here. He says he takes less money, he's perceived as ungrateful for the $17.5 million he makes just this season, let alone the other five years of his deal, gauranteed.
- He says he doesn't care about it, but why do you bring up something if you don't care about it? That's the issue here. It's not what he thinks, but how he portrays himself.
- He says he's underpaid, he's insulting the millions of Americans who are underpaid relative to their value and don't enjoy everything that goes along with being LeBron James. It's not fair, but it is what it is.
- I'm not mad at James, I'm not insulted by James, I don't think less of James. But I understand why people do. This is why talking about money never benefits anyone.

Even with Bogut I still don't want to face Memphis. They've owned us 
So I hope they start to lose
So I hope they start to lose

the NBA needs to make stopping guys from sliding under airborne offensive players a new "point of emphasis." And it's even more *****made to me when 7footers do it.

He is alive and sucks Well, it doesn't help RW isn't passing the ball unless he is hard doubled and Reggie Jackson isn't really a pass first guy either. He flourished in summer league with Maynor just running the floor and getting alleyoops and backdoor cut passes. Jeremy Lamb is inactive in the D League because he hurt his back setting up this monster sectional in his living room.
