otm. we really need more details here. also damon jones always had a very punchable (soup throwable) face/smirk so I blame the Cavs here for hiring him in the first place.

jones was def a role player who had unearned cockiness

The Thunder are not in great shape. Up one in the loss column. Trail tiebreaker to Denver, Portland, New Orleans. Lost tiebreaker to Wolves. Split with Spurs. Clinched vs. Clippers, lead Jazz.

14 of final 19 vs. playoff teams.

okc missing the offs is my hope and dream now

they were playing so good for a min there

man that would be crazy. russ, pg, melo and basketball star steven adams & they cant make it?

blew their wad on that one game vs the dubs. melo is shooting like 40% on the season. his decline has been a lot faster than I thought it would be.

melo is a negative and has been for ages

right right but youd think he could be ok in a third/fourth banana role

who's gonna pay him this summer? he's worth maybe a vets minimum lol

sacramento obvs

hah yes

maybe he should opt into his contract

seems wise

i dont think melo works in a 3rd banana role unless you somehow have 2 better bananas that dont provide volume scoring

russ is one of the worst bananas for melo

yeah he might just be a bad banana in general.

so weird that melo and bron are the same age

gonna need a bigger boat obv

slightly related to that draft, i love looking in the archives at early LeBron takes:

I agree. If the Bulls luck out and get a top-3 pick and can get Carmelo or Lebron, they'll trade it. People in Chicago are talking about sending it to Sacramento for Hedo Turkogulu [sp?].
Anyways, in the last month, the Bulls beat the Lakers, Philly, NJ, Indiana, and Milwaukee... with OT losses to Milwaukee and Detroit. That's not bad! Jamal Crawford averaged 23ppg/6.5 assists/4rebs, shooting 47% which is great for a PG. Eddy Curry shot 66% [!!!!] and 20ppg, 6 rebs. Tyson Chandler really improved after the all-star break, Marcus Fizer was coming along until he tore his ACL... And there's always Jay Williams! Holy shit - they're gonna be really really good in a year or two or three.. i should sign up for season tickets

They have accounting people watching it... the reason it's not public is because it's confusing. The fix would've been giving West the #1, or if New York got Lebron.
Milicic is almost certain to get picked by the Pistons, although publicly Dumars is saying that they're gonna wait till they work out Melo. Milicic is supposed to be a total freak... 7'2", more skilled and athletic than Nowitzski, with amazing post moves and a sweet outside shot (he's getting a lot of comparisions to Garnett). Plus, he's not 20, he's 17! A lot GMs think that he's going to be a better player in the NBA than Lebron.

Starting lineup for the 2003-4 Pistons = Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Wallace (moving to PF), and Milicic in the middle... with Okur, Williamson, Atkins and Robinson coming off the bench. Milicic might not start at the beginning of the year if he's really raw, but from what I've read about that private workout yesterday, he could start right now.

No, I love Dirk!! I'm saying, Milicic is even more skilled and athletic than him!
Lebron... man. He was asked last night about how people go away to college to get away from home and to find themselves, and if it will hurt him staying in Ohio. His answer was, "No, I did a lot of traveling in high school. So I think I'm ready."

Poor kid. I really hope the Cavs hire Van Gundy or Silas to help him out. He's obviously got the physical skills, he just needs to have really, really good people around him. At least EVERYONE in the NBA knows this and will be making sure it happens.

The Nuggets are the upswing, my man! Carmelo-Hilario!!! Best-named duo EVAH!
Anyway, Lebron will be a BUSTBUSTBUSTBUST. NO leadership on the Cavs. Wut, Dujuan Wagner & Darius Miles are gonna learn him???

I'm glad for the Pistons. I gots no idea what to expect from Darko, but at least he'll enter a system where not that much is expected of him.

And what the fuck's up with the Central Michigan center being projected to go No. 4?!?!? Doesn't anyone remember BIG COUNTRY REEVES or GREG FUCKING OSTERTAG??!?! Tall American honkies suck!

some good darko hype in there

A lot GMs think that he's going to be a better player in the NBA than Lebron.

never too late

i like how everything aaronw said about bron actually applied to darko

(he's getting a lot of comparisions to Garnett)

darko def had that fire in his belly like garnett, what a competitor

a true love of the game
