I think people need to start paying attention to the Jazz, I mean they almost made the playoffs last year with the least talented roster in the NBA

I bet D-Fish will be pretty cool on Golden State, they should keep Dampier now..Too bad for Speedy Claxton though
Hofstra's Pride..no pun intended.

Yeah Skip signed a 6 year $36 mil contract with the Raptors last week.
Would have loved to see him stay in Miami and run the point with Shaq, EJ and Wade. |

Its funny how Portland and Denver think they have a chance at Trenton Hassell.
Mike James wants to go to Miami. The Knicks will put anyone on the table besides Stephon Marbury to try and get Vince Carter. They have a deal on the table including Nazr Mohammad and another guy. The Nets aren't interested in Sharif for cap reasons. They may however be interested in Stromile Swift. Dampier is getting linked to Atlanta and Dallas to name a few. |

I would see Trenton leaving.
Why? Because for some reason, players feel no sense of loyalty to the T'Wolves. KG takes a pay cut despite constant disappointment, carries this team on his back, and Duncan is the guy everyone flocks to play with. :foc: Duncan. |

Maybe because Duncan has 2 more world championships than Garnett, and the Spurs always field a better all-around team than the Wolves

Hassell has already said that he wants to stay, and we haven't started talking to him yet because of T-Hud, which is why he is talking to other teams. We can match any offer put out by other teams, and are a championship contender. Why would he leave to go play with Melo?

I'm going to come out and say it, I think Carmelo Anthony is overrated. Not as in he is not a good player, because he is a good player, but I don't think he is as talented a player as LeBron, and I think LeBron will be a lot better than he was this year where as Melo won't be drastically better in the future. I predict LeBron be the next Kobe Bryant type player (as in talentwise) and Carmelo will be more of a Gary Payton type, where he is one of the better players in the league for a long time, but never on the level such as a Kobe or MJ.
It's really not too brash of a thing to say, I just had the urge to say it at 1:18 am tonight. |

Given the lack of basketball coverage here, i was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about a guy playing for the Nuggets summer team, Matt Neilson. He's an Aussie guy over there for a trial, heard he was doing ok. Any word on whether Denver will keep him around?

Vlade is a key center to have though, especially when you have a dominant power forward. He had the most assists of any big men last year and flops like a pro!

Yeah but Divac is so old he can only give you about 20 minutes a game. Brad Miller came off the bench and played much more than Divac.

On no, wow. The Spurs lost to the Lakers, so did the Timberwolves. The Lakers outplayed us and we were missing Sam Cassell (second leading scorer, team leader) and Troy Hudson.
The whole "Kevin Garnett can't win" argument was trendy to use before the season, but as soon as we won the Western Conference in the regular season, disposed of the Nuggets, and beat Sacramento in a game seven, it all becomes obsolete. The whole 7-straight losses joke also became obsolete when the Wolves brought back three players from those seven teams last year. Tony Parker sitting on the bench while his team wins an NBA title doesn't make him a proven star. Thus the NBA was weak that year, once they beat the Lakers in round 2 there was no competition. KG can't win if he isn't surrounded by good players....OK, isn't that the whole concept of a team? There are maybe five guys in the history of the NBA that could win the NBA chapionships by themselves, and I'm not ashamed to say that Kevin Garnett isn't one of them. It took Michael Jordan nine years to win an NBA championship, is there a reason that Kevin Garnett is supposed to be better than that when he doesn't have a Scotty Pippen? Don't even talk shit like "The Spurs could have beat the Wolves if they made it," when it all comes down to it THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT. "The Lakers didn't try in the games they lost," so what if they did try, the outcome was that they lost. I could say that the Wolves would have beat the Pistons, but it would mean nothing because we didn't make it. Theoretically any team could have beat the Pistons, but nobody did, so its not worth talking about. If Duncan really is all that and is can win an NBA championship all by himself, we'll see that this year. |

Anyway, back to Vlade...
He may be old and not seem super effective looking at stats and what not, but he was such a huge aspect in the Kings. You let him start, pull down maybe 5 rebounds, 10 points, and five assists, nothing spectacular, but then you bring in Brad Miller the spark off the bench and he can rack up the fouls and play hard and play his game. I don't think Miller will be as effective now, although he will still be good. As for the Lakers, I don't think he is the right guy at all. They lost their big inside presence and Odom isn't going to be the dominant power forward, they needed a big center who is going to be tough and strong down there, Divacs is not that. Divacs is the perfect attribute to a good power forward. I mean you lose Rasho and put Divacs next to Tim Duncan and the Spurs would be a lot better than they already are, he would also work good with KG, Webber, maybe the Suns, a few other teams, but what the Lakers need right now is a guy like Dampier who is going to go in hard and get a lot of boards. Meh. |
