they wont get the third pick. the blazers are holding out randolph for a draft pick and hawks probably dont want anything to do with randolph. #5 with boston or maybe a little lower maybe, but conley wont go any higher than 5.

correction: the ratings are ALREADY poor.

What? The playoffs are still going on?! I'm getting ready for the draft already! But seriously, Han. has some good points. Thats all I'm gona say

i never told anyone not to talk bad about offensive teams. if they do something wrong, by all means, voice your opinion.
and i don't think calling a team boring is talking bad about them. besides, defensive teams are boring.
just stating the truth, nothing more.

That's not entirely true. I love watching tony parker school bigs in the lanes, i love watching manu gumby his way through everybody and magically appear right infront of the rim for a finger roll. San Antonio has the offense AND defense. The Spurs musta averaged over 100 pts per game in that series against the Suns.

penetrating guards aren't too hard to find in this league.
if you think watching duncan play is entertaining...i dunno.

yeah.. i agree. duncan's one of the most skilled big men down low, if u want to call him the best PF there is in the league or the world, i wouldnt disagree either. but he really isnt all that exciting.

Guys, please read and follow the rules - no athele, team, and member bashings. Discuss things objectively.

i have to agree 100%. he's easily the top 5 power forwards in the league.

Ah crap .... Lewis opted out of his last year ...

Hmmm ... I see a sign-and-trade brewing ...

why sign and trade? hes an unrestricted free agent. a team just has to offer him more money than the sonics for him to bite and the team won't lose anyone to get him. (unless hes in those i want to win a ring and i'll take a paycut state of mind which i highly doubt)

if not the best.


edit:
What you guys thinking about the sonics signing rashard and trading him to memphis.
I don't think money will be a problem. We wouldn't be paying Durant maxed out money til his rookie contract is over. Danny fortson's contract is over so that frees 6 million/year. Gasol has four years and around 61 million left on his contract. I don't think money is a problem. Plus, Gasol want's out and the Sonics need a legit Center who can defend and score on the block.

[DOVAHKIIN]

Even if Gasol was out, and Rashard Lewis was in, the Grizzlies would still have a looong way to go.

[res0nate]

The problem w/a S&T is that the money has to match and Memphis has to be wondering if they'd give up one contract for another. Or if they're happy about still seeing Lewis play in the West either.

[Krn_Track_Star]

wow i actually like the game today. it wasnt that boring when they score =).

[Krn_Track_Star]

i would like to see the jazz in the finals. i think jerry sloan deserves a championship. i respect him a lot as a coach because he faced a lot of obstacles over the years. with his wife passing, and how the jazz franchise built their team since they lost to the bulls two times in the finals. they were smart in getting derek fisher, carlos boozer, and deron williams.

I guess those Powerade commercials weren't dramatizations at all.

Anyways ... It'd be nice to see the Jazz in the playoffs ... particularly because I don't like the Spurs. haha ...

but yeah ... Pistons are going to win either way.

OH MAN I READ SOME SHOCKING NEWS.

kobe said that if they didnt bring back jerry west to the team that he wanted to be traded. WOW JUST WOW. i know the lakers and jerry west have a long history of good and bad but right now it is pretty bad. could kobe's career with the lakers be over?

[xkrndreamer]

i was shocked also when i read today's los angeles times sunday paper. it said kobe could be asking for a trade without asking for one.

i could never imagine kobe not being in los angeles. i mean la is the best city to play for. well at least in my opinion.
