Bill Simmons ranking the top 50 tradable assets in the league.
I understand that this is a really subjective and hard thing to do, but I knew that there was going to be trouble when numbers 46, 45, and 44 were some of the most intriguing young big men in Drummond, Kanter, and Jonas.
He does get points for having Brad Beal at 29--which is kind of shocking but appreciated.
Then he done goofed and places Rubio 3 spots lower than Wall at 25 and 22.
Top 20 has yet to be released. I'm sure top 3 will be LeBron, Durant, and Paul.
It'd be shocking if Kobe was on the list at all at his age and with the injury.

He already said Kobe isn't on the list because of his age, injury AND salary

There will be one at least. The Hawks are going to drop, and the Bucks could too. I think Boston and Washington will both be above 500 next year though, if they stay healthy.

He could be 06 Kobe and probably not be worth anything with that salary. It's crushing.

"In the playoffs you've got to find different ways to win,'' Wade said. "No matter what everybody says on the outside, (Milwaukee) is a good team. They played us very well.''
*brofist*
wade still has a soft spot for the city of Milwaukee. Moral victories... yay!

really tho, if you give up 131 points at home, you gotta be worried stepping into the Oracle for two games.
And it's not like the Nuggs are a great road team either.
Too bad David Lee had to go down, I have a feeling the Ws are gonna get smacked by the Spurs if they get that far.
we always get smacked by the spurs, regardless if lee plays or not lol

Jason Kidd drafted in 1994.
Man goddamn. The sort of talent he's seen come and go is crazy. Hard to imagine he's played against prime Jordan, Kobe and LeBron.

I have Bill Simmons' Book of Basketball. It's an entertaining read at the very least. It's basically a 3-400 page ranking of the best players and teams. I'm ambivalent towards him as a television personality but I find him to be a fun writer. I haven't picked up FreeDarko's Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History but I do have the Macrophenomenal Sports Almanac which is pretty hilarious (though a little out of date at this point).

Why yes! Yesterday I saw the Knickerbockers of New York have a rousing match against the Celtics of Boston. One of the highlights was when Earl Smith Jr. stepped to his left side and threw up the orange rubber globe from 12 yards away for 3 scores as the timeclock ran out in the 1st session. Smashing event it was!
get this book, its about the ABA and its hilarious: http://www.amazon.com/dp/141654061X/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Man I recommended this book when I first came here and got shitted on..... Good book still. Free dark were some funny dudes.
Man, I own the FreeDarko book but still haven't cracked it open.
One more: The Breaks of the Game by David Halberstam is awesome.

I bought that last year, but I still haven't read it yet.

Jack McCallum's Seven Seconds Or Less is also really good, made me an Alvin Gentry fan
Give it a go. And then cry knowing that after the debacle that is the book's era, the Blazers missed out on MJ just a few years later and have never reached their previous heights.

HASHEEM THE DREAM = DPOY!Daily Thunder said:
Klay + curry are 40, 45 perc from 3. The nuggets best bring some defense the next time. Curry was what? 1 for 9 in game 1? Obviously the warriors won't shoot lights out like that again but y'all better be part of the reason why they don't.

He was 1-9 in the first half and 6-10 in the second half of game 1. Curry is a legitimately consistent scorer. It's the rest of the team that I'm worried about. Klay is due for a bad game and Harrison Barnes has been even less consistent.

The one that was supposed to be out for the entire year?
Hmm I'm think if the Lakers make a deep run, Kobe will be back playing as well.

No, that's impossible. He ruptured the achilles. He can't even rehab it until the playoffs will be over. he'll be in his boot that long.
I haven't been able to watch either Celtics game in full so far, but I saw the middle half of the game last night at Foxwoods.
Fuck, I don't know what's going on with this team. KG looked so good earlier this season, his age is really showing. I'm confident they can get a couple of wins in Boston, so this series is far from over, but god damn. They looked good in the first half, they were running up the floor and killing the Knicks in transition. Props to Woodson, he's a damn good coach.

He could help if he is in shape. We could use his energy. He wouldnt Derrick Rose us, either.
hmm that might be bullcrap, when I asked my friend where he got that quote he just gaveme this link: http://www.rotoworld.com/teams/nba/lak/

haha, he is not jogging. He just took his cast off and is in a boot.
As someone who tore (but not ruptured) the achilles at 18, trust me he is not jogging. If I was in that stupid boot for 2 months, he'll be in it longer.
