They were a half-court team yes, but they weren't known as old and slow team against their competion most of the time. Exception being against OKC in 10.

He probably wants HOU's 2014 1st. If Dwight leaves, that pick is gold. And of course there's no way Morey trades it (w/o lottery protection) b/c that is his fallback if Dwight leaves
I'm sure Morey will gladly give his 2013 1st. Donuts can't be traded until August, even if the Rockets were willing to trade him. Which they aren't apparently

I hate the whole get up he is wearing, set aside for the jersey. No hate on the Kings.

It's nice to want things. Thunder actually had 5 lottery picks to build their team. The #2, #3, #4, #5, and #11.
After that series i can't confidently even mention kobe in the top 10 all time. Lebron will have a far better legacy after all is said and done. Couple that with the weird way kobe seems to crap the bed in big finals games.

Lin is our starting PG.
I think every single player will look decent playing against this crap not even d-league level team.
Minnesota has dangle Derrick Williams and as many as 3 first round picks for Batum and Portland isn't budging?!
True yeah, but he looks like he belongs today at least.

I'm willing to predict Kidd will have taken over that job by mid season on the knicks if Lin is resigned.

Lin will more than pay that contract back through all the LINSANITY $$$ he brings to the Knicks.

"Linsanity" will only last so long if the team isn't successful, and wrapping up that much money in Lin, Melo and Amare will only lead to more first round and outs.
But is it going to bring in a atleast 2 wins in the 1st round?
Nah. He'll have his Clyde Drexler-esque title in a down-year, and a few more losses in the Finals. By 2015, he should be in full decline, and he'll retire at around #15 all-time.

Sacre will probably make the squad as a backup big. Still hope they bring back Hill though. Not that impressed with the guards though. Glock, Johnson-Odom and Morris don't instill me with a lot of confidence. Still salty Mitch didn't take Malcolm Lee.
I was a huge Thomas Robinson fan going into the draft too, but he looks frighteningly small.

Yea, Sacre needs to work on his post shot. He gets room and can get real close, but his hook and J at the rim is very inaccurate based on the last game and the start of this one.
He will struggle until he develops some semblance of a post game. There's no way you can play the style he does and hope to be successful in the NBA at the PF position.
And there's much to be desired in terms of his defense. For being such a good rebounder, his defensive awareness is pretty abysmal.

Stop with that. He's going to get 2 more rings, legit rings when he's still putting up big numbers. I don't think people realize how impactful the Nash signing will be.
What is this revisionist fix your pulling. Kobe was chucking and turning over the ball. It would have been better if he gave up.
Kobe will?
I was saying that LeBron will have his one Drexler-esque title and be in full decline by 2015.
Honestly, if Brown had just benched Kobe with five minutes left in Games 2 and 4, we probably win that series. Not sure how we would have done against the Spurs, but I think we'd have had a good chance to make the Finals and prevent the Calamity from occurring.

Probably Morris as well. In addition to Morris.

Knicks will make 14.9 million before Christmas selling Jeremy Lin Magnum condoms.
Not really, team could be .500 and the Asian community will still be slurping up Lin paraphernalia.
You willing to put an avatar bet on that?

Knicks close to obtaining point guard Raymond Felton in sign and trade with Blazers, source tells Y! Sports.
Linsanity + Dwight. Rockets gonna chip.
