24-28 for the Wolves, who were supposed to be the surprise team this year.

Love isn't a #1. I'm not sure he's even a #2. Does he force a trade this summer? Where is a landing spot for him? Would the Clippers move Griffin for him? I doubt it, but it could happen.

How can you be supposed to be surprising? You can only be surprising if no one expects it. Like Phoenix and us. The Wolves were supposed to be a playoff team or close to it. Well, then I guess they were a surprise team this year. Surprisingly bad.
 
Why is there a red box above the quick reply box with PapaG's avatar on it?
 
Incidentally, the biggest buttkicking ever was Cleveland beating Miami by 68 back in the 80s. Who knew Miami would punch back in the summer of 2010?
 
Why are guys with injury history like Curry and Iggy still in the game? Ok Curry was just pulled. Iggy still there. They're up by 40.
 
It will interesting to see if Greg Monroe gets traded in the next two weeks. They were talking about it tonight on NBA TV. I bet they wait until the off season. But I found the question from the fan interesting who suggested Harrison Barnes for Monroe.

Detroit would get fleeced.
 
I still think Detroit should trade Monroe for either Dragic or Bledsoe. I don't see how Phoenix can keep both.

Maybe this should have a separate thread. A lot of stuff in this David Aldridge column. Way down at the bottom is a Q and A with Lillard. And there is a list of 8 guys who might be traded by the deadline; including one of my favorite gets, Trevor Ariza. There is a lot about his defensive abilities. Because Batum can play SF or SG, this guy could fit with us, and he is still in our age group, could be a keeper. As much as Washington needs this guy, they also need a backup PG and backup SG. Mo?

I think the jury is still out on Barnes. He has a tough half season, but Monroe has been inconsistent as well. For similar reasons. (The addition of a veteran all star who plays the same position forcing them to the bench)

Dragic is no longer under rated. Phoenix would be foolish to let him go. Plus I think the Morris twins are just as good as Monroe. (at least combined) I hate them but they are effective. Plus Plumlee and Len. Phoenix is an interesting team

Dragic is money, but I still don't see how they can keep both point guards. They should move Bledsoe.
 
Sixers lose 123-78 last night and 123-80 tonight. It's an improvement!

I love Ariza but Mo ain't getting traded. As constructed, we went 24-5. I think they want to rekindle that and stick with what workED. Barring injuries, major changes won't be made til offseason. That is what I gather from what I've seen and read.
