I'm pretty positive Nash will sign with Miami. Chalmers is awful, but he might be somewhat bearable coming in off the bench. Nash would be incredible on the Heat.

I hope the NBA at least does the retroactive penalty idea.

Nene as a starting C is a lot more valuable than D-Will turning into Beasley 2.0 because hes forced to play SF.

All aboard! The Love train!
The Wolves already have a starting center.

Man this dude really should have come out last season.
The wolves have a starting centre. and a PF that just got the 4yr Max. Why would they want to trade for the right to over pay for one of the most over-rated C's in the league in NeNe?
D-Will IS a SF. And a small ball PF.
Also, the wolves biggest problem with their starting PF/C combo is athleticism and shot blocking. NeNe addresses neither.
Eh.
The toughest part of the Nash / Amare PnR was that you couldn't hide on screens either side, Amare's mid range J being good helped it a lot.
But dwight would get more points purely by seeing the ball.
Just not sure it would be Nash / Amare on O.
Obviously is better on D.

DY is gonna enjoy Snyder sitting in the coach's chair with bobby brown jaw.

Williams is a SF... if he gets more consistent range he will be a good SF..
he is not a PF so on the Wizards or whatever he is on he will be at SF.
At this point Nene isn't more valuable than Michael Beasley 1.0
Bease for Nene makes some sense but really the T'Wolves do not need Nene

thought he was dropped day 1?
oh didn't see the above.
Essentially. Derrick is 6'8". He can't play PF full time. Millsap does, but his height really does limit him.
The closest player similar to him i think is Josh Smith. And I've said for Years, Smith is a SF on any other team (just like horford is a PF). Smith is also 6'9" (i thought he was 6'10, but eh).
the best thing D-Will brings to their starting unit, if he starts, is athleticism. If he can get up to being a .350 or above 3pt shooter, he'll be fantastic for them.

Derrick Williams

Blake Griffin

Derrick Williams is a pick and roll pf playing out of position. He is mediocre at the 3. Doesn't have a good enough jumper or ball handling to get to the basket and is a bad perimeter defender.

Ed Isaacson ‏@nbadraftblog While Dunlap doesn't have Snyder's glorious hair, he is a phenomenal x's and o's coach who has learned from some of the best
Ed Isaacson ‏@nbadraftblog Don't care how much talent St. John's has coming in now, they better get someone who knows how to teach the game in there quickly
Darin Gantt ‏@daringantt It's not unusual for college basketball personnel to escape my grasp. But I've no idea who Mike Dunlap is or even if he's a coach. #Bobcats
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA Dunlap's considered an excellent X's and O's coach on college level, well-respected in profession. Still, a huge gamble for Michael Jordan.
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA Also, Michael Jordan doesn't want to pay for a basketball coach. And clearly that's part of hiring Mike Dunlap, a Big East assistant coach.
Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanCBS Mike Dunlap is a hell of an X's and O's guy. Sat behind bench for couple of Arizona games when he was with Russ Pennell. Very impressive.
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA People I respect in NBA always believed Dunlap had chops to be a head coach. Just didn't think it would be a leap from Steve Lavin's bench.
Darin Gantt ‏@daringantt If Jordan had a track record of savvy moves, Mike Dunlap would be hailed as outside the box. But since he doesn't, Dunlap's a cheap unknown.
Ed Isaacson ‏@nbadraftblog The instant reaction I am seeing by many NBA bloggers to the news of Dunlap's hiring is disheartening, especially since most dont know him
Karl was equally impressed, saying: Hes the most intelligent person that has a love for the game of basketball that Ive ever been around. His ability to analyze and articulate and figure out the problems of day-to-day basketball was incredible for me.
"The Observers source, who asked for anonymity because Dunlaps hire isnt official, said Dunlap impressed the front office with his high energy and collaborative approach. Also, he wants to run an up-tempo offense and attacking defense that figures to fit some of the Bobcats younger personnel."

I assume rudy gay, Melo, LBJ, and durant all put up similar physical numbers.
D-Will might be good in the PnR, but he's no PF.

At the rate of things, maybe the Bobcats should consider playing home games at UNC-Charlotte's Halton Arena. Seats 9000, which should handle a home crowd just fine.

The man won in D2. What more do we need to know?
"Prior to joining the Nuggets, Dunlap, a two-time National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Coach of the Year and winner of two national championships, was the head coach at Metropolitan State College, for nine seasons. In his nine years at the Denver, Colo., school, Dunlap posted a 248-50 (.832) record."
That's pretty fuckin godlike.
I just wish I knew who the fuck he was.
I remember him now
he got shafted
