    ok ok ok Andy Katz just shot that deal down, and cosign trading Nash to the Knicks...but honestly thats his own fault.

    when D'antoni left for NY, Nash and Grant hill were both free agents who were offered deals by the Knicks declined em to stay with PHX saying they still had a chance to win a ring (they did have a chance) but im sure he's regretting it now. At least Grant Hill was smart enough to have a deal that is over now, Nash still has the extra year...smh.


    But LOL @ Sacramento even entertaining the though of Felton straight up for the #7 pick.....now that Tony Parker is involved, Denver is gonna have to step their offer up and/or Sacramento needs to snatch Parker while he's still available.

    A lot of movement.. A lot of Rumors.. They are talking about Brook Lopez to the Knicks.. That might not be a bad fit..


    I really like Klay Thompson, Bismack Biyombo, and Josh Selby if they are available... We are in desparate need of a backup PG... Selby is the real deal....

    Bruh Selby aint no point guard he never was when he played against my high school he was jackin he's just an undersized 2 guard

    Hmmm... I aint even gonna argue that cuz i havent really watched him outside of the regular highlights... Ive read that Melo and Billups both want in.. And if I dont trust Melo's talent evaluation.. I definately trust Chauncey's...


    Just about anyone would be an upgrade on Douglas.. He cant run the Point for ? .. SMH...
    Melo likes him cuz they both had the same agent comin outta high school Selby had a few character issues and was suspended the first 9 games of Kansas season he had a shitload of hype but had a dissapointing freshman year 7 ppg if im not mistaken he woulda been better off goin to a team nd being a lone superstar kinda like wat Beasley did in college im tellin u Selby is not a point guard lls

    Aint Tyreke Evans a PG why is Sac trying to get Felton?.. Am i missing something here...

    i think he's a more natural 2 guard, they've supposedly been wanting him to move to that spot but haven't had a good enough PG to allow that to happen.

    Well he more of a combo guard who can score in bunches..

    But they got Udrih too I dont know how this would work.

    Either way its not looking good for Pooh Jeter.

    no he's not and thats the problem. Sac knows he's not a pg and thats why they're pushing so hard to grab one. Reke can do whats natural to him and score off the ball and they can finally get a pg who can get the team involved....

    So apparently the spurs are trying to grab valanciunas(spelling) thats why they are trying to move up. Leave it up to them to ? up houston's plan. It's being said that they're not only trying to move parker but dump rj's contract on someone as well smdh

    I swear to ? people were ready to throw in the towel on Raymond Felton 2 years ago in Charlotte.

    Nobody was talking about him..

    Then he moves to New York and all of a sudden I hear his name every other day.

    San Antonio Spurs draft philosophy is basically, go out and draft some European and hope he can turn into Manu or Tony..

    Same ? nearly every year, without fail.

    Tiago Splitter, Ian Mahinmi.. whole bunch of other dudes.

    Exactly. He played great for them and really gave them a scoring threat every night when he got traded from NO.

    They need to get rid of Udrih and Casspi cause that dude sucks ? .

    Udrih got a ? contract its hard to move I'm sure Petrie would love to see him get the ? outta there.

    And they got a big decision to make with Sam Dalambert.. If anything they should be concerned with getting a good SF not add to their already long list of guards.

    Eh Casspi is ight he just shoots too many 3's iont think he sucks if they can get Donte Green to bring some intensity every night he can be a nice fit at small forward cuz he has talent but he shoulda stayed in college longer and i think if anyone they would trade Fransisco Garcia's fragile ass

    Donte Green is deceptively big, I couldnt believee it when I was watching them and they announced he is actually 6'11.. they mostly play him at SF.

    He might be the biggest SF ever. Very unique player.

    Trust me Casspi is terrible he is quick on the break and can shoot the 3 but thats it, he has no value on a team with Marcus Thornton and Garcia (if healthy) and Evans and Udrih.

    Which is why he wasnt playing much toward the second half of last season, I think Westphal went with Greene and that was the right move.

    I like Donte Greene but he keeps clashing with coaches and they questioned his work ethic, but he was coming around..

    He can defend which is something Casspi cannot, to save his life.

    Kings are alright

    2011/2012 (if theres no season) or 2012/2013 Lineup

    PG - Insert PG
    SG - Evans
    SF - Casspi/Greene/Insert SF via FA or Draft
    PF - Thompson
    C - Cousins

    There pretty much in the same position as the Wizards!

    Has there been any movement with OJ Mayo

    Was hoping that trade to Indiana went through around the deadline. If that trade woulda happened we would probaly be talking about the Pacers being the next row of teams to be in the top 8 in the east for years to come!

    so Nash, Parker, and Felton are all being shopped now?

    With felton the Nuggets were gonna trade him anyway because they trust Lawson with that PG spot!

    With Nash and Parker they'll probaly go to either the Clippers, Toronto, Golden State, Houston, Atlanta, or Orlando because all of these teams have pieces!

    Shiiittt.. If yall dont want McGee trade him to the Knicks.. We'll gladly take him off your hands.. LoL..

    he has 0 offensive skills at all. but at the same time i'm not sure wtf flip saunders is teaching the dude. He has the athleticism but he has no skill or finesse around the basket at all. plus he busy in the party life. now they should be giving away andrae blatche he's a 7 footer who thinks he's the black dirk. I wouldn't mind keeping mcgee as a defensive presence at all but they need a guy who can actually score in the paint.

    Brook Lopez to the Knicks??? who the hell do we have as an asset that Jersey would want? cmon son.


    I like Thompson....but Selby is not the move at 17, he's probably gonna slip to the 2nd round.

    Im hopin for Jimmer the GOAT, Darius Morris, or Klay Thompson in the 1st round....and Jeremy Tyler in the 2nd round so im hopin he falls to the 2nd round, if not then Keith Benson
