Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

The dream working with Josh Smith,

He still has it, still so smooth, imagine if he worked with Aldridge

LMA has pretty good post moves.

He’s got good footwork and knows some tricks for drawing fouls. The problem is that his moves are all from at least 10 feet from the basket. I don’t know if you can teach the kind of physical play and killer instinct that a guy like Josh Smith has. Aldridge seems to lack the same attack mode and willingness to initiate contact that other players have. He’s not the strongest guy, but he’s probably stronger than his game would suggest.

Keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed.

EXACTLY

If LMA posted up on the block then he would be an all-star who shot over 50% and avg 20+ easy. But because he posts up about 10-13 feet out he is a soft jumpshooting big who will never be one, unless he changes his game.

The most disappointing thing so far this season for the Blazers has been Roy and LMA seemingly refusing to change their game for the better. The “we won 54 games last year this way” arguement pisses me off to no end.

clyde and the dream together with porter and kersey. dynasty

bayless leaves over my dead body
Start Bayless (in a 2 guard lineup)
if you should strike Oden down he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

Can someone give a rational explanation of why blake plays 36 minutes a game?

i'd like to see roy work out with hakeem

could add something great to roy’s offensive game…

Could we make an offer to Hakeem?

Only half kidding.

That was great to watch, Hakeem is probably the smoothest offensive center in the history of the league.
