Can anyone explain this for me?


I don't get it, is that a typo or is it something clever?

If you're referencing "generally boast a..." the next word is resume. I'm guessing the author wanted to use the proper accent markings, but the characters got jumbled a long the translation to html.

Ah that makes perfect sense. Thank you!
 
Mark stein said that Cleveland and Griz maybe involved in a trade.

Kufos for Waiters
 
So Lebron is kicking Waiters out of the band. This should get players' attention.

Idk, they have a pretty strong veteran core. Adding Waiters to be designated scorer off the bench makes them the scariest team in the NBA imho.

Idk, Cleveland has one the best and unselfish players to play the game, and waiters won't listen. Also, waiters wants to start. You put him on the bench and he will sulk and moan.
 
Nice... I like that trade for us A LOT! One less quality big to defend our front court guys and a guy added to the Grizz' that can chuck shots like there's no tomorrow (like he currently does in Cleveland). I think Cleveland wins that trade hands down & that's just fine by me!
 
Okay, so this is not really a rumor... It's just a blog Mark Stein posted. The rumor is "Cleveland wanting a defensive big man and is willing to give up waiters". Stein is running with it and giving his two cents.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are widening their scope in search of the rim protector that, even amid their best basketball of this young season, everyone knows they badly need.

Seven-footer Kosta Koufos is averaging 4.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 13.8 minutes a game for the Grizzlies.
Far more worrisome to the Cavs than their uneven 11-7 start is the lack of a proven presence at the rim to help stiffen their defense for the long term. That's why Cleveland, sources say, has been inquiring with the Memphis Grizzlies about the availability of reserve center Kosta Koufos among their various trade pursuits.

Sources say that the Cavs are well aware landing a quality big man likely depends on selling on potential trade partners to take back polarizing shooting guard Dion Waiters. Cleveland rates Waiters' talent highly, but sources maintain that the Cavs have let a number of teams know they are prepared to surrender him if they can acquire a difference-making center in return.

And Koufos, regarded as one of the league's more underrated interior defenders thanks to the limited minutes he gets behind Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, would certainly qualify.

How willing the Grizzlies are to part with Koufos, meanwhile, remains to be seen.

It's naturally hard to see it at this early juncture no matter how blessed Memphis is with frontcourt depth. When you rip through the first quarter of the season at 16-4, there isn't much incentive to change anything.

Stay tuned, though. There are some significant differences between Koufos' standing with Memphis and the Cavs' long-running but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to convince the Denver Nuggets to bite on a Waiters-for-Timofey Mozgov swap.

In Denver, Mozgov is under contract next season on a highly favorable team option valued at $4.95 million. The Nuggets can't be faulted for wanting to keep a productive big man at that price for themselves when they know Mozgov can't bolt this summer. Koufos, by contrast, is an unrestricted free agent next summer whose camp, sources say, has made it known to Grizzlies management that it has less than pleased with the limited role carved out for the 7-footer over the past two seasons.

Bogut just went back to the locker room so they can look at his knee
 
Clips-Suns has become compelling. Crawful just got ejected at the start of the fourth quarter, one point game. First ejection of his career apparently
