I think the lottery is pretty efficient. Chicago winning was a fluke, same with Portland last season. It happens two years in a row and everyone screams that it sucks.
Miami has a shot at the best player in the draft.....since the Grizz have pretty much said they aren't going to trade Conley, I...
This is a great trade for the Detroit Pistons.....not so much for Golden State though.
Rasheed has pretty much said he's done after this year and Chauncey is decent but he's getting up there.
Stuckey is going to be awesome this year though, so it'll be interesting to see how well him and Baron...
I don't think Marion and Beasley could co-exist so I think the Lopez/Conley package would be more effective on getting them back to the playoffs.....soon.
Yeah, the Grizz won't be bad but it'll just be like the seasons before. They'll have one all-star who will play there for a few seasons before realizing he wants to play somewhere else.
But....
Things will be looking up for them since they dumped Gasol's contract....plus lets not forget, Marc...
According to Chad Ford at ESPN, Pat Riley is discussing a deal that would send the #2 pick and Daequan Cook to the Grizzlies for the #5 pick and Mike Conley.
The Heat would most likely use their pick on Lopez or Love.
I think this would be a great deal for Heat with Marion not opting out. The...
I think you'd get more than Hinrich. Granted, Thomas hasn't hit his ceiling of potential but he's never going to averge more than 10ppg, 5rpg.
Hinrich is a great guard but the whole Bulls team was awful last year and he took a lot of the blame. A change of scenery would be good for him.
I don't see the Bulls doing this at all unless Pax is in some sort of desperate "win now" mode. Dwayne Wade is the third best player in the NBA, he's even good when he's injured. If he would have won a 2nd championship, there is no doubt in my mind that he would be the face of the NBA (and not...
Enough with the MJ comparisons already. There will never be another NBA player that influential ever again.
Kobe is the best basketball player on the planet but he has a SUPER young team that is just starting to come together.
The Boston Celtics will be right at the bottom again in five years...
The Celts definitely wanted it more than the Lakers but enjoy it while it lasts. Danny Ainge traded every piece of their possible future for 2 good years. I can totally see a Miami Heatesque collapse after this win.
Phil Jackson will win his 10th NBA title within the next two years. Kobe...
After watching the press conference, I'm going to have to say that Vinny is an impressive speaker. Whether Pax was scraping the bottom of the coaching barrel or not, he seems really sold on this guy, and not out of desperation. Good luck to him, he's gonna need it.
There's nothing wrong with drafting Beasley. The man is a proven scorer and hands down the best player in the draft. If they take Beasley (which I don't think they will), I think he would work out but they'd have to get rid of Deng or Gooden. Beasley would make an immediate impact on team, where...
I've also been tossing around the Hinrich trade for Beasley, but yeah, they're going to want another player other than him. I don't think the numbers would work but I really wouldn't even mind if we threw Deng in there. I love Deng but I just don't think he's going to be this all-star player...
I'm starting to be optimistic (even a little excited) about this. This was definitely a better pick than Dwane Casey or Chuck Person. Bahhh I can't wait until the NBA draft.
Avery Johnson might have been an okay choice but dude will probably sit out a season and collect his free money.
I don't really like Flip that much being that he was the Pistons coach for years, but he probably wouldn't have been a bad choice.
Vinny is kind of an eccentic pick for Paxson since...
Chicago Bulls hire Vinny Del Negro as new head coach

I don't know how I feel about this yet.
I have a strong feeling that Walker will end up on the Celtics again by the end of his career. Davis and Blount were both great pick ups for the Heat. I'm happy for em.
Kobe isn't going to the Bulls because of the asking price, not going to Dallas because their in the same conference. The only possible scenerio that I could see happening is a possible 3 team deal in which the Lakers get Gilbert Arenas and Bryant goes to a team that isn't the Wizards. He's the...
