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

If JR Smith addressing his soup suspension while wearing an Arthur “mood” hat doesn’t sum up this Cleveland Cavaliers season perfectly, I don’t know what does. pic.twitter.com/ZnPmV6a069

YOOO Larry Nance Jr. just Statue of Liberty’d Mason Plumlee 🗽 and Shawn Kemp pointed his ass pic.twitter.com/jtRXwJ0OVq

hell yeah

nance jr has so much swag

one of my fav in-game dunkers

celtics trying the ol dont defend the rockets strategy early here, not working so far

update they tried defense for one possession and the rockets had to call time out, unclear where theyll go from here

nance is fun b/c he owns dudes so cheerfully.

he has some great dunks over guys for sure, its unfortunate hes not good at D considering the physical gifts he brings to discussion, maybe he cn get good idk

they put smart and rozier in and now theyre playing D and winning

celtics def have the personnel to bother houston

cp3 3 fouls and a tech 9 mins left in the 1st half

he has some great dunks over guys for sure, its unfortunate hes not good at D considering the physical gifts he brings to discussion, maybe he cn get good idk

well if there's anywhere he can learn good defensive fundamentals, it's cleveland

this game is pretty good, the rockets combo of ball movement and shot making is kinda unfair

watching my nuggets about to beat the cavs, will join soon
