I think this is what may actually go down: http://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/6051010 Lakers Get: Jose Calderon: Portland Get: Steve Blake and Darius Morris: Toronto Get: Raymond Felton (expiring contract)

Roy has done a lot of great things for this team. In addition to his knees, he is dealing with a very different system and new teammates with their own agenda. That can be tough on a young player - even a very talented one. Does anyone remember when Kobe was whining and threatening to leave...

With all due respect, there is no tough front-line on Dallas. Dirk is an incredible shooter, but not an inside force. Neither is Chandler. I certainly give credit to LMA for recognizing the opportunity and attacking the basket; that is what you should do. When he can do that consistently...

Well, at least a nice play to finish the half. What has happened to Rudy's shot?

Awful 2nd half. This team just seams to lose focus, which is hard to believe with coach Nate. At least it was nice to see Joel back in the lineup.

Mo doesn't play D - Nate would kill him.

Tough loss, but lately Utah has been making comebacks against a bunch of teams, including Miami.

Very sad deal. If you think the Blazers lost some money, remember that Oden probably loses around 90M (!) in potential money (see Durant). I agree with others that the Blazer's medical staff is a joke. I mean last year Blake went from a cold, to sinusitis, to bronchitis, to walking pneumonia...

I think the problem with this team is chemistry. Miller is a very good PG, but is never going to be a good fit with Roy, who needs a more passive PG that can spread the floor with good shooting. Roy is like Kobe - he needs the ball. The Miller experiment is just never going to work - no fault...

The Blazers had opportunity to seize control of the game and failed to do so. NO is playing above their capability; this is a team that the Blazers should beat. I know they were winded from the previous game, but the chance to take out an unbeaten team is not something to pass up when your a...

Blake & Brown will be solid for the Lakers off the bench. Both those dudes lead a late rally to get the Lakers a victory over the Rockets.

I say just either release him or get a reasonable deal with another NBA team. They're really not losing much money on him and this whole fiasco could upset the remaining players. This is a bad distraction - let him go and move on to focusing on players that want to play for this team.

I'm sure he could probably get a bigger shoe manufacturer to sponsor him; but, I believe he's loyal to AND1, since they've sponsored him for most of his career - even on some of those poor performing teams in the past. Tell you what though: I'm sure AND1 is probably paying him nicely for the...

This offer makes Outlaw's deal almost look like a bargain. The only thing crazier would be for OOOOOOOTah to match; which they just might do after losing Boozer and Korver.

This.
