Bulldog

He looks great and Nellie says he will start

yup - Durant for easy ROY. Belinelli could be the steal though.

PG Jared Jordan of Marist College - NBA draft doesnt even have him being drafted! SI did a piece on him - the legend of Jared Jordan http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...rdan/index.html led the nation in assists.

Could be the fight of the year and definitely will not disappoint. Should be a war. Watch it next Saturday!

Would you do this - Zaza, Lue and #11 for Barbosa, James Jones and #24. Then we have Speedy and Barbosa and draft big at #3 and go for the best talent at #24. Not sure if the Suns would go for it, but they seem very keen to pick up a big center.

Yeah but Robert has nailed some MASSIVE pressure shots along the way to pretty much all of those titles, some of them 3s at the buzzer to win a game etc. He has been a good producer for all of those teams even if he has not been the main man.

Ricky Rubio - just looked him up. 16 year old Spanish point guard. Became the youngest ever to play in Spain's ACB at merely 14 years of age! Won the MVP Award at the 2006 U16 European Championships after arguably the most dominant performance in tournament history, leading the competition in points, rebounds, assists and steals. Scored 51 points, grabbed 24 rebounds and dished out 12 assists in the 110-106 finale victory over Russia... Wow - we could use him!

actually Camby, Nene and Mark Jackson for McDyess and Frank Williams didnt turn out so hot for NY either...

what are your own personal worst trades of all time (not including draft pick trades like Tractor Traylor for Dirk). Recently - Steve Francis for Ariza and Penny Hardaway's expiring contract has actually turned out to be a stinker for New York. While Orlando now have the cash to get an all-star. Barkley for Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang is pretty lopsided... Webber for Richmond was bad for Washington...

haha! maybe Escalade could spot Shelden for some minutes...

I see Noah going to Chicago. I think he would work well there too. He is ready to contribute and is a high energy, high character guy. - and they need a low post scorer. According to the latest reports Chicago seem to be high on him... (although they are working out the PGs too)

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/...nterstitialskip The Wolves are trading Mike James to the Rockets for Juwan Howard. This might well mean that Rafer Alston is on the block. Anyone interested in him..?

SI mock has Atlanta taking Brandan Wright at #3 and Nick Young at #11. I am guessing fans would not be happy with that outcome... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...raft/index.html

Zaza + Speedy + #11 for Marion and #29. Pau for Marvin, Lue and Lo. Then pick up the best FA PG (Brevin, Blake) Incoming Marion Pau #3 (Yi, Horford, Conley) #29 (best available) Outgoing Zaza Speedy Marvin Lue Lo #3 A team of Brevin/AJ, JJ, Marion, Smoove, Pau is pretty nice. We would need to be clever with the free agency though to reload with the right role players. But that is 3 all-star caliber guys.

just seen that after jacking them up his first 4 years in the league Parker only took 36 and 38 3 pointers the last 2 seasons..!! Gilbert throws up that many in a week... Having said that expecting Conley to be Parker is a reach. There are still massive question marks about him. NBA defenders know he is a poor outside shooter so they can just give him the space and stop the drive. I think he will be there at #11 anyway and if not Law may be better in any event.
