I wouldn't say a steal at 9.. I still would rather have Lamb over him any day for almost any team in the NBA..

But all things considered.. He was a good pick at 9..

he was a GREAT pick at 9. There's no one else at 9 who had the upside Drummond has.

I'd honestly take Drummond over any other big not named Anthony Davis in the draft.

He just put up 12 pts, 7 boards, 2 steals and 2 blocks with 0 turnovers on 6-8 shooting in 23 mins in his first nba game. It's a preseason game of course so take from it what you will, but that's just points off instinct plays. When/ dude gets the fundamentals down he could be scary good.

Stan ripping ESPN for being a clown organization, god damn.

“No one at ESPN will tell us what happened. Certainly the NBA office isn’t going to tell us what happened. One of the quotes from ESPN in there – we had discussions, but couldn’t agree on a role … as is usual, that’s a bunch of BS from ESPN.

We actually did agree on a role, but then they came back and pulled that. That’s when we knew something was up.

Nobody is going to give a straight answer because … that’s just the way a lot of people operate … nobody there has the guts to say anything, so that’s what you deal with.

What I find fascinating … you have to give David Stern and the NBA a lot of credit … ESPN pays the league, and then the league tells them what to do. It’s more ESPN’s problem. You gotta have no balls whatsoever to pay someone hundreds of millions of dollars and let them run your business.

Just say what happened. Who cares? Who cares if I’m on there or not. Just come out and say this is what we decided and why … [ESPN's quote] that’s just a flat out lie. Why would you do that? I don’t understand. We agreed on something, you changed your mind and pulled the offer. Don’t say we couldn’t come to an agreement. We did.”

Bean on Shaq

It just wasn't going to work, so no matter what happened, even if we had won that championship... me being a free agent, there was just no way.
There's things that I wanted to do with my career and take my career to another level, that I was just incapable of doing as long as we were playing together.
lol. but at least he admits to being a stat whore. I respect that.
edit: and to be fair, if Shaq stuck around, he'd never get the same praise and individual accolades.

I like this second team rotation for Portland. Mixes well.

Meyers Leonard needs more time on the defensive end but I already like him otherwise.

Well so much for the Kings focusing on defense.

Jimmer looks more comfortable. Cousins looks ready to domnate but is taking threes. =(

There's simply not enough shots for Thornton, Evans and Cousins to play heavy minutes together.
 
MWP looks excellent so far in these 2 games. Not just slimmed down but looks much quicker.

If this is legit, oh man...

Jamison needs to look for his shot.

LOL PAU!
