Well, we can agree to disagree in terms of Roy over Durant. Roy wasn't even as good as Rudy Gay.

Has it been posted that Malone said that Deron would go over Sloan's head to the Utah GM to have road practices cancelled? WTF kind of bitch shit is that?

Eh.... I can kinda see both sides of that argument.

Ya, Kmart. Go Clips. Let's get JR Smith in here. Cut Cook somehow.

But he's an awful defender and useless on offense in every way. People always refer to Ben Wallace, but Wallace could pass the ball quite effectively and they could use him in sets. Evans catches the ball alone in the paint and is looking to pass and doesn't even know where to. He stunts the offense in every way.
It's no surprise that the Clips are 21 points worse with him out there per 100 possessions. It's indicative of his entire career. And when he's out there, his team is even worse at rebounding than when off because he's so bad on D or pushing his own man to get the ball.
He's one of those players that people think have a tangible skill but is a net negative.

Daddy likes.
Naw, you don't undermine a head coach of Sloan's stature like that. Makes him a joke in front of the rest of the team. Besides, cancelling practice for everyone? You may not feel like you need it, but plenty of guys might need it.
I guess it just gave Deron more time for Modern Warfare.

Both sides to what? Thats some of the most bitch-made shit I ever heard.
Some coaches are too old fashioned/school.
There's more to that story though, because its never a black and white issue.
Even in college ball practice on the road isn't an absolute thing. And in college that's when rest isn't even that big of an issue. There are a lot of reasons why that could've happened and why either Sloan or Deron would've been wrong.
Of course, but it still seems like a bitch move to me.
I said goon, not good defender.
It can be that. Or it could've been a lot of other things. Either way, both left Utah so its not like you can say that one won in the end.

Im not really stuck on the practice thing.The fact that he can just call the GM when shit doesn't go his way is laughable.
Also, its Karl Malone saying this too.
Still, there are a lot of ways that things end up getting to the GM/AD/President/etc. It doesn't just have to be a guy texting the GM like "fuck this old bitch. tell him to hop off my nuts or i'm leaving in two years". There are tons of ways that scenario can go down and be blown out of proportion simultaneously.

Chad Ford says the Wiz would take Barnes at second because Drummond is too similar to McGee. That makes sense, but I don't like Barnes on a team with Wall trying to play point guard.

But McGee is a shithead.
Trick someone into trading for him. Man that Wiz organization is poison for rookies.

Davis would be great for the Kings since he actually defends and plays unselfishly.
Indeed.
Do you guys even need JR?
Hell no, and Presti would never consider him either (hence the second part of my post).
Guy is the polar opposite of what OKC looks for in a player.

Are you kidding me? I think this draft is going to be absolutely terrible. The only player I'm really high on is Gilchrist.

Anthony Davis is only producing at Patrick Ewing levels while being the best player in the nation on the best team in the nation. Scrub.

He's not a scrub, but how many future all stars do think you are going to come out of this draft? Not many.

It is, there are countless examples of players nowadays needing to be coddled and have their own way, there's no respect and appreciation anymore.
For some reason I like his game more than Davis. Not sure why.

Nick Young.
He plays hard but I don't think I've ever seen him angry on the basketball court and he's been on a bad team his entire career.

It's because he reminds you of Biedrins in how he tries desperately to avoid getting fouled and then airballs free throws if he unlucky enough run into contact.
Just like he confirmed he wasn't going to college in 2011-2012.
Biedrins doesn't airball freethrows, he destroys the rim/backboard with them.
still salty after last night are we?

He said he going to play in prep school this year and then changed his mind to UConn at the last minute because he realized he could get to the NBA faster and make tons of money faster.

I'd be high on anybody who could dribble a basketball too if I had to watch the likes of Jameer, Chris Duhon and Larry Hughes every day.
Ish is the future though. Looking forward to a guy I've never even heard of since the other day play tonight.
Also 1st choice in who doesn't give a fuck: Rashard Lewis. Shitty ass team and the dude is getting paid. But can't even bother to put in the least bit of effort.
Edit:
Didn't see it mentioned in here but Big Baby is evidently really a big baby.
JoshuaBRobbins: Orlando Magic have suspended Glen Davis for 2 games after an outburst at shootaround today.
He probably yelled at Stan or somebody else for him sucking, as if it's anybody's fault but his own that he's fucking garbage.
