Maybe he just had a sensible Dr who told him that a player coming off a knee injury should drop a few pounds.

(feel free to draw what comparison you will to certain Blazer players/staff)

I think it will help him stay on the court. Losing weight is not going to change his mean streak.

The first-round pick that we received for Rudy (Jordan Hamilton) both end up on the same team.

McBob signs with the Lakers for two years at the MLE.

Lot of posters on this site laughed at McBob's potential when he was here.

Rick Kamla and Smitty last night debating who they would rather have Kevin Love or Blake Griffin.........The Minnesota homer actually with a straight face said he would take kLove, but it was close.

No Rick it is not close! Anyone else out there take Love over Griffin? Personally I almost choked on my food when he said it.

It is easy to laugh at potential because most of those guys do not end up making it. McBob seemed to be putting the work in required to take the next step but few of us really have access to a team to make that judgement.

In that trade, the two throw-ins McBob and Jack ended up being the best players.

For a fantasy team, as an owner, for this coming year, or as a coach?


As an owner, every team takes Blake. He is going to be the guy that gets 20 calls a game and puts people in the seats.

True he could have been talking fantasy league since he is a big fantasy league guy.

If only Webster had Roy's mental toughness. The skys the limit.

That's sorta like saying if only Fiat had Ferrari's engineering staff.

I remember that. I got a fair amount of heat for saying he could be better than Frye. It took awhile, but it might yet prove true.

Not really because a fiat has physical limitations. Websters athletic ability isn't a fiat. It would be like saying if only a ford mustang had Ferrari engineers.

Fiat's (generally) look a lot better than they perform ... thus ...

Well, they're both overrated. Neither plays much defense. But only one of them has missed an entire year with injuries.

Dallas traded Rudy fast before Denver could see this article.

Nene 5yrs 67M to stay with Denver

Nene 5yrs 67M to stay with Denver

Probably market value. But, is Nene really a guy that you want as a centerpiece on a team? Good 3rd option, not 1st.

I guess Denver's thinking is to try adding a 1st option either thru the draft or free agency. Even with Nene's contract, they should have a sizable amount of cap space and should not be that good. Probably lower lottery though.

They also have the option of amnesty next year on Al Harrington.

Y! Sources: Orlando, N.J. trade talks for Dwight Howard gather momentum, but are Magic truly inclined to move star now? tinyurl.com/csgmnvc

My buddy has season tickets to the Clippers so I went to quite a few games last year. Although I agree that both are over rated and over hyped, (compared to LMA) Griffin got better and better as the year went on. In my mind there is no comparison. The only thing that will slow down Blake is another injury. The fact he plays a few feet off the floor makes it a strong possibilty.

To Orlando:
Brook Lopez
.....

Wow, looking at their roster they have NOTHING outside Brook and Deron. If there isn't a 3rd team I think it's going to be Brook and multiple picks.

A first round draft pick every other year for the next decade????? Not seeing a lot of options there either.

4 team deal.....??
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wojnarowski_dwight_howard_magic_nets_nba_121311

Talks between the Orlando Magic and New Jersey Nets for a Dwight Howard blockbuster trade have gathered momentum over the past several days, and the framework of a possible four-team deal has taken shape, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Don't see how that's going to work.

Maybe if the Nets send out Brook Lopez for young assets for the Magic. Have you seen their roster? Outside Brook and Deron it's \.../ this side of being a D-League roster.

Btw, I think Lopez would be a great fit in Portland.
