I was listening to Eye on bball podcast and they had a journalist on who was talking about the whole cavs issue and brought up their GM being fired and how Chris Grant was the only one in the draft room who didn't want Anthony Bennett.

That issue with the whole organization isn't getting fixed for a while... if ever.

Its so hard to know what's actually going on because of so many rumors coming out about different things. If the reports about kyrie being a drama queen and not listening are true they could have the makings of the next marbury

It starts at the top. Gilbert came across as a childish jackass with the angry letter to LeBron after he left for Miami. Not that LeBron fared much better, but at least he isn't entrusted with running a franchise.

Well, Lebron did run the franchise in Cleveland until Gilbert took over....

Lakers will re-sign Sean Williams to replace Nick Young, who's out at least 2 weeks because of non-displaced knee fracture (and bone bruise)

Mark Cuban won a title as a clownish owner.

Clownish maybe, but he does tend to make good basketball decisions. Cuban seems to take good care of people within the organization.
 
Good to see the Cleveland GM get fired instead of the coach. Brown will get fired too, but at least they started at the top. Or at least as high as possible. You can't fire yourself.

Bottom line is their drafts were horrible and the Brown hire was horrible as well. Not to mention Bynum.......
 
Love with the defensive play of the game:

That video was annoying after 20 seconds... but damn I want to see that movie again!

Good reference, though!
 
This is one reason why Derrick Williams was traded. No need for this, and he's playing in garbage time.

Link to Minnesota brass saying this is why they traded him? I don't see anything wrong with that video, other than he missed the dunk.

Of ffs. It was a bush league move that back-fired on him, up 25 point late in the game. I thought it was funny, and he's been a bust.

What's bush league about it?

It's a game for entertainment.. And he was in front of his teams fans. He was trying to give the fans some excitement, every team has done the same thing before.
 
The Knicks beat the Nuggets by 27 tonight. Maybe the win against NYK on Wednesday wasn't so bad.
 
Steve Blake goes for 14/8a with 2 steals tonight and holds Carter-Williams to 10/7a with 4 TOs in another Laker win.

Is Blake available for Mo Williams and, let's say, Meyers Leonard?
 
Love went for 26 and 19 (8-20 FG 14-17 FT) and Minny still lost to NOLA.

That's awesome. But he was in perfect rebound position. You know. In case the professional basketball player missed the uncontested (by Love) layup.

I would do that. I've always felt Blake would be a great backup. I just was never happy with him as the starter.
