They really should consider it, because they can't afford to keep him at the end of the season. Suns will trade them PJ Tucker and Channing Frye.

Barnes still has two years left on his rookie contract. They just need serious bench help and I think they should sell on high on him (going by my personal view of Barnes which I know isn't that popular...) which is why I was thinking of a trade for him. Curry-Iggy-Bogut will be a great core in the playoffs and it would be a major missed opportunity if lack of back PG and center ends up crippling the team's chances.

I just don't understand Calderon on ______ right now...

Love Jose, but this is what Raptor fans spent years saying.

Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 11 Dec
Woodson, on the late-game shots: "I'll take a shot from Melo all day long [in that situation]." Says some of those iso plays were designed.

I wonder why I got rid of my Woodson avi

Yeah I can understand the concerns with him. But I agrre and for a team like the suns worth the risk.

The Warriors are moving San Fran into a state of the art arena. Doesn't the owner have money? There's no way you break that team up over money.

It becomes a question of how much do you spend on too few pkayers. Okc lost a ring because their bench was terrible.

 

[pilonv1]

Lee will either expire or be traded in his final year. There's enough money for both Barnes and Klay. Lacob will spend money, they're not moving to the SF arena with a broken up team.

Have you seen their bench now?

Not this year. Okc games are turrible to watch and I generally only get to see 4 games a week atm.

 

[pilonv1]

I love Draymond Green.

I saw him first. I wanted him as a Warrior back in his Sophmore season I think, maybe Junior when he was playing on the team with Lucas.

Were you doing Draymond chants in the stands last season? This guy was. The second he checked in.

sometimes shouting to put him in

Jackson/Lamb/Adams/Collison

Pretty solid bench.

Maybe I'm biased but somehow Adams hasn't been a complete bust this year which already exceeded my expectations, he is actually a good player. The OKC fan in me hated the fact that we drafted him but the Kiwi in me was happy for Adams. Best of both worlds.

 

[KingGondo]

Not this year. Okc games are turrible to watch and I generally only get to see 4 games a week atm.

Our bench is the biggest reason for our record. Reggie is becoming a star sixth man, Lamb and Adams have exceeded expectations, and Collison is as solid and reliable as ever. Even PJ3 has been very good.

This year has been fun so far.

 

[diehard]

Im not even joking when i say a contender needs to make a trade for Marvin Williams, dude could really helps some teams.

If Rudy Gobert gets enough time to qualify, he will lead the league in TRB% and have a chance for the highest since Rodman. If Corbin plays Beans anymore im gonna be pissed.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Since Burke and Marvin have gotten back, Favors and Burks have played extremely well and the Jazz have been 11th in offense.

Terrible news for the tank, not sure how the team won't catch Sacramento now that Gay is part of that team.

Decent news for the talent level of our guys though.

 

[victreeb3l]

I wonder why I got rid of my Woodson avi

Yeah. I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt but Woodson is a terrible coach. Hes just plain bad and has absolutely no idea what hes doing anymore. I just want the Knicks to continue losing so they can fire his bald ass

 

[Fox318]

Its not that he is a terrible coach its that he isn't really coaching or his players aren't doing anything.

They need a good point guard and I think its become clear that despite Lins shortcomings they shouldn't have let him go.

Fuck the sf arena. They're trying to cater to all the new tech money and ditch the real fans. Its Going to be like shitty giants games where the fans are all on their phones.

Traffic is going to be bullshit on weeknights too. My office is less than a mile away from the proposed site. Its far closer to the bay bridge ramp and will have less parking than pacbell park.

I love sf. Just tired of the shit politicians & carpetbaggers ruining the bay area

EDIT: but back to basketball... I wonder what kind of game we'll see on Fri between the rockets n warriors. Iggys still not back and with bev n lin on curry I can see a problem for the Warriors if we fall behind.

Hope lin does well tonight against portland too

The Jazz broadcast actually put this on the air:

LOOL

 

[LegendofJoe]

The Jazz could probably swing Marvin to the Grizz for Prince and a 2nd. You guys are going to need to take on salary next year anyway, especially if you're not going to resign GTyme. Prince's contract only has 1 extra year on it too.

And speaking of trades the 15th is coming up this Sunday, any guesses on who gets moved this weekend?

 

[perfectchaos007]

If no one wants Asik, maybe he'll realize he's forever destined to be a role player off the bench, and will finally be content playing as Howards backup with plenty meaningful minutes. We could use him to help Howard get rest when he needs it.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

@tomhaberstroh 3h
Most points per post-up play (min.
75 post-ups via Synergy): 1) LeBron
1.20; 2) B. Lopez 1.19; 3) Dirk 1.09;
4) B. Bass,1.01; 5) Melo 0.96.

Bron is the must effective post up player in da league.

It only took him six years to realize it.

I'd take him, but he's a bit too much of a whiner. And if it's one thing the Clippers won't tolerate, it's a whiney player.

People want Asik. They just know Houston is in a terrible negotiating position and aren't willing to give much up for him.

Morey wants Ryan Anderson or a player of similar quality, and that isn't gonna happen.

They might be able to get Millsap, but they'd have to give up more than Asik to get him.

Tells alot about the league when Brandon Bass is on that list.

Lee's offense has gone down the toilet. His high FG% was pretty much his saving grace. Without that, there's really no point in playing him. I still can't believe how much he and Bogut just don't mesh on defense (would've thought that they would cover each's deficiencies on that end of the court). Maybe bringing him off the bench could jump start his offense. I wouldn't mind swapping him for Barnes into the starting lineup just for a bit. Let Lee work against other team's second unit.

He opened it with the biggest and most successful restaurateur in OKC. I'd be very, very surprised if it doesn't do well.

It looks pretty good, honestly. Little pricey though.

all they do is give the ball to curry and run screens for him, then they dump to Lee sometimes in a bad position. I wouldnt just blame lee when its more about the overall offensive strategy

 

[KingGondo]

The rumor is that he's just getting paid for his name, plus he gets input into the menu and decor. Wouldn't surprise me.

They also built a private suite with glass that smokes up with the touch of a button for his use.

 

[Emwitus]

After Kobe Bryant downplayed the Los Angeles Lakers' modest success in going 10-9 without him, saying Monday, "It's not like we were gangbusters before," coach Mike D'Antoni came to the defense of Bryant's teammates.

Kobe sure knows how to stir that pot.

Kobe is right, though. 10-9 with a negative differential isn't anything to write home about. Kobe strives for excellence while D'Anphoney is content with mediocrity

The only contract that really works is JR Smith, right? Isn't Toronto too smart to trade for him?

You didn't bold Rose over Wall?

Anything(no more draft picks) to get rid of Failton. JR should be next.
