Sunday Morning Junk is the bestest junk ever. It makes me break into song

But I just cant stand the pain
Girl Im leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know Ive done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed
Ooh, thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Why in the world
Would anyboddy put chains on me?
Ive paid my dues to make it
Everbody wants me to be
What they want me to be
Im not happy when I try to fake it!
No!
Ooh,thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Because Im easy
Easy like sunday morning
Because Im easy
Easy like sunday morning

Stop that Prez, you’re making me hungry. I’m gonna have to settle with microwave popcorn at this hour cuz that’s all I have available. – and it’s easy too. I set it for two minutes exactly. You can still hear it popping when the time runs out, but when you take the bag out there’s not one single burnt kernel. So what if I got a 25-35 leftover seeds at least it’s not burnt naw mean. I got it down to a science. Word ya’ heard.

I've got to stick with the original in this instance, but Johnny Cash's version of ...
“Hurt” is one of the hundred greatest songs in my personal opinion. Of course, I’ve yet to make an actual top-100 list. I’ll do it at some point in the future, though.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Oh, and by "original," I was referring to "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.
Johnny Cash’s rendition of “Hurt” is just plain superior to the original version by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

gotta go with Hurt
he could barely sing, and yet, the best song he ever, ever did.

Social Distortion did an awesome cover version of "Ring of Fire" in the early '90s.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbFlM6pFjso
Even though it wasn’t as amazing as the two original hits on their eponymous album, “Story of My Life” and “Ball and Chain,” it was still an outstanding track.

Hey Mister AK
I ain’t even tried to crack open the big Andre Miller threads… whatcha think of the signin’?
I've gone back and forth between it's an average signing to its a below average signing.
Ultimately, I’m going to stick with “average” in this case. Regarding Andre Miller, he’ll fill a role like Antonio Daniels did with the Seattle SuperSonics earlier this decade under Nate McMillan.
While I doubt that Miller will have a lot of impact on pace — since it’s something that’s dicated mostly by coaching style — he should certainly help boost Greg Oden’s numbers by effectively running both the high pick-and-roll and side screen-and-roll.
Miller should effectively run the pick-and-pop with LaMarcus Aldridge, too, as well as possibly run some give-and-go plays through him wherein he cuts after the pass, gets a dish from the 4 stationed at the high post as he’s running, and drives to the bucket. Miller can also run give-and-go plays with Oden off of the side screen-and-roll — so long as the big guy improves his passing abilities — and post up smaller guys down on the low block.
Miller’s defense against quicker point guards is pretty poor, but he’s really solid against bigger guards — including guys at the 2 — so that’s a bonus. Nonetheless, scared Oden might have continued problems with foul trouble whenever switching out on pick-and-roll and dribble-drive plays wherein Miller gets his ankles broken.
Yet, regardless of the Miller signing, I’m still on the bandwagon of trading Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, and Jerryd Bayless — along with sweeteners such as Victor Claver, Joel Freeland, Petteri Koponen, Patty Mills, et cetera — to the Chicago Bulls for Kirk Hinrich.
Even with Miller already here, there’d be lots of minutes available on the perimeter for Hinrich.
FIRST QUARTER & THIRD QUARTER
8 Minutes
Weakside Corner: Nicolas Batum
Ballside Wing: Brandon Roy
Point Guard: Andre Miller
4 Minutes
Weakside Corner: Martell Webster or Ime Udoka
Ballside Wing: Rudy Fernandez
Point Guard: Kirk Hinrich
SECOND QUARTER & FOURTH QUARTER
4 Minutes
Weakside Corner: Martell Webster or Ime Udoka
Ballside Wing: Brandon Roy
Point Guard: Andre Miller
2 Minutes
Weakside Corner: Rudy Fernandez
Ballside Wing: Kirk Hinrich
Point Guard: Andre Miller
6 Minutes
Weakside Corner: Rudy Fernandez
Ballside Wing: Brandon Roy
Point Guard: Kirk Hinrich
Whoever starts and finishes between Miller and Hinrich could be switched around based on fit and/or matchups — while I’d also highly suggest signing Ime Udoka to a one-year, minimum-level contract as insurance behind Martell Webster — yet, all things considered, I think there’s still room for the “Captain” on this ship.

normally I'd rec that you make this into a fanpost ... but its probably best to leave the fanposts about miller to a min.
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
With Miller and Batum on the floor together
How are they going to spread the floor? Nic is a decent shooter, but I am wondering if Webster paired with Miller may be more effective. I keep thinking Miller should start, but then I keep coming back to the whole “fit” thing regarding having enough shooters on the floor.
Andre Miller may just come off of the bench and finish games, which is exactly ...
what Antonio Daniels did with the Seattle SuperSonics earlier this decade under Nate McMillan.

from the corner of my girlfriend’s four post bed
I know it’s not mine but I’ll see if I can use it for

Couldn’t understand
How to work it out
Once again as predicted left my broken heart open
and you ripped it out- Something’s got me reeling
Stopped me from believing
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it
Y’know I wanna do it again

Every Morning there’s a heartache hanging
from the corner of my girlfriend’s four-post bed
I know it’s not mine and I know she thinks she loves me
but I never can believe what she said

Oh………..

Oh………………
[Every Morning when I wake up]
[Shut the door Ray, don’t say a word]
Oh………..
[Every Morning]
Oh……….
[Every Morning when I wake up]

She always rights the wrongs
For me
Baby
She always rights the wrongs
For me

[Shut the door Ray, shut the door Ray]

Bulls continue to make no sense
Bulls general manager Gar Forman is confident with the team’s roster, but they will continue to discuss possible trades. “The roster (is set) as of now,” said Forman. “We talk to a lot of teams to see if we can make ourselves better. Outside of a major type trade, I really don’t see us doing anything. We would anticipate we will carry 13 players. We have a qualifying offer out to Aaron Gray and all indications are that he will sign it and return. I like our roster. We like our young core and where we’re at. We feel pretty good going into the season.”
Hey, we like all our guys. Wanna trade?
As much as it saddens me for an obvious reason, I actually think that the Chicago Bulls will stand pat.
Sans waiting for Aaron Gray to sign his one-year, $1,000,497 qualifying offer — as well as waive the non-guaranteed contracts of Linton Johnson and DeMarcus Nelson — the Bulls look to be set at this moment.
The Bulls will certainly be longer this season, with a healthy Luol Deng and rookie James Johnson taking up minutes at small forward. John Salmons, moreover, stands at a respectable 6’6" for a shooting guard. Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas, Brad Miller, and Taj Gibson will all receive their fair share of minutes on the frontline, while Salmons, Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich, and Jannero Pargo will battle it out in the backcourt.
Oh, and last and definitely least, none of us can forget Jerome James collecting dust on the inactive list — while Jerry Reinsdorf collects sizeable insurance payments — as he gleefully mails FIU head coach Isiah Thomas weekly thank you cards that praise him for the $6,600,000 he’ll be earning this season.

Blazers summer league player Bobby Jones signs with Teramo (Italy, Serie A)
Team announcement http://tinyurl.com/l6nmk9
Got the hint from Ridiculous Upside. I don’t think there was any hope that the Blazers would sign him after playing with mediocre efficiency and considering our minute crunch at SF and SG.
In my infinite boredom, I came up with a totally new, unique way to get Carlos Boozer to the Miami Heat.
FROM MIAMI
PF Mark Blount ($7,967,375)
PF Udonis Haslem ($7,100,000)
SG Yakhouba Diawara ($945,000)
FROM NEW JERSEY
PG Keyon Dooling ($3,564,000)
PF Eduardo Najera ($3,000,000)
FROM UTAH
PF Carlos Boozer ($12,323,900 + $333,333 in incentives)
TO MIAMI
PF Carlos Boozer ($12,323,900 + $333,333 in incentives)
PG Keyon Dooling ($3,564,000)
PF Eduardo Najera ($3,000,000)
TO NEW JERSEY
PF Mark Blount ($7,967,375)
TO UTAH
PF Udonis Haslem ($7,100,000)
SG Yakhouba Diawara ($945,000)
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lgtqho
For the Miami Heat, Pat Riley would manage to acquire a bona fide low-post scorer in Carlos Boozer to pair with defensive-minded pivotman Jermaine O’Neal — who’s really a center on defense, but a power forward on offense — at a one-year rental or for the long haul if a contract extension is agreed upon by both parties.
The Heat would acquire decent backups at power forward forward (i.e., Eduardo Najera) and point guard (i.e., Keyon Dooling), too, while Michael Beasley shifts to small forward in an attempt to mimic Carmelo Anthony’s career. Yet, if the Heat land Lamar Odom with its mid-level exception, then Beasley would in turn be a backup combo forward behind the “Candy Man” — no, not that “Kandi Man” — and Boozer.
For the New Jersey Nets, the organization would slash $3,000,000 in guaranteed salaries for the 2010-2011 season and $2,250,000 in guaranteed salaries for the 2011-2012 season.
For the Utah Jazz, the organization would save $4,612,233 in payroll for the 2009-2010 season — as well as shave off $4,612,233 in pending luxury tax payments — which is a nice chunk of change. In return for Boozer, moreover, the ballclub would get a solid backup power forward in Udonis Haslem and a useful third-string swingman in Yakhouba Diawara.
While on the court that’s not an even trade for Boozer, it’s a fair deal when financial matters and the logjam at power forward — which is due to the recent matching of the offer sheet Paul Millsap signed with the Portland Trail Blazers — are taken into consideration.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I doubt New Jersey would do that deal even though their financial situation is bad. They have little depth on guard, and Najera while not impressive is more solid than Blount and their unstable prospects.
Even after such a trade, New Jersey would still have okay depth.
C: Brook Lopez
C: Tony Battie
C: Josh Boone
PF: Yi Jianlian
PF: Sean Williams
PF: Mark Blount
SF: Bobby Simmons
SF: Jarvis Hayes
SF: Trenton Hassell
SG: Courtney Lee
SG: Terrence Williams
SG: Chris Douglas-Roberts
PG: Devin Harris
PG: Rafer Alston
Beyond signing a serviceable third-string point guard off of the scrap heap such as Tyronn Lue, there wouldn’t need to be any more moves made by the Nets front office this summer under that scenario.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Forgot that they drafted Terrence Williams. That looks better than I remembered from last season where CDR disappointed a bit and no Lee and Alston yet. Maybe they are indeed looking to trade later in the offseason or after Christmas. Don’t know how their players are viewed on the market though. Reportedly Sean Williams was offered to the Blazers in a package with Carter and KP wanted no part of him – athletic headcase. Yi isn’t really progressing. CDR might also be on the market now that they have Lee and Williams.
I expect the New Jersey Nets will just decline its team option on Sean Williams for the ...
2010-2011 season, while Chris Douglas-Roberts is a cheap third-string shooting guard. So, other than finding a way to dump Eduardo Najera and Keyon Dooling like I suggested above, the one big thing Rod Thorn and Kiki Vandeweghe must decide is what to do with Yi Jianlian.
A simple idea would be for the Nets to offer Jianlian to the Golden State Warriors for Brandan Wright. For Jianlian, playing in the Bay Area under Don Nelson would be a wonderful change of scenery both on and off the court. On the other hand, Wright would likely fit right in alongside Brook Lopez on the Nets frontline. Indeed, it’d be a solid move for both franchises.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.

Bad news for Koponen: His team acquired Italian national team PG Luca Vitale
Who is 6’6’’, 23, like Koponen a very tall PG/SG. The team tries to negotiate a lower contract with Koponen since Vitale will make about 500k euro per year, but might end up waiving him according to the Corriere dello Sport.
Maybe he can latch onto a team with a little more oppurtunity for him to play. He wont make much money but atleast he gets to play.

I'm going day drinking at the beach
Oh, I forgot to tell you kids. Last night we went out to eat and I went to go potty, not poop, and there was some old dude standing threshold of a large space outside the men’s and the women’s restrooms. He was an old Japanese dude, and after I squeezed past him, I looked around the room and was like, “What the heck? Why is that guy standing in the door when there is so much more space in this room.” Then I looked the guy and he said, “What are you looking at?”

The question that the large japanese man asked tom was more than fair. In a way, outside of being a physical challenge, “what are you looking at?” is literal. What is it that you think you are seeing? In this case, I would have to argue that Tom didn’t know what he was looking at. A large japanese man deliberately blocking the restrooms?

I like Powe as a player, only I have about the same bad feelings about his knee than the oft-discussed knees of Blair.
If I had the choice between rolling the dice on Powe’s knee or seeing Dwight Gooden play one quarter for the team I rooted for I would go with the knee in a heartbeat.
I also love how all the posters here who complained about Blair’s knee are the same ones who sunk the OKC blog’s poll on whether or not you would take Durant or Oden given the chance to re-do the draft. I’m not saying. But I am saying.

I still like Blair, and think the Spurs have made a steal. If his knees are done in 3 years, until then you can hardly beat the value he’ll bring at that cost. As for Powe, he had the same injury in high school, and reportedly his ACLs and the knee in general doesn’t look great on MRIs now after he re-injured it. Since the Mavs want to compete now, it doesn’t surprise me that they went with the route of a safe yet not amazing player. Powe will rehab with the Celtics and probably sign a qualifying offer to do so, and become a free agent next year again. Still better than in previous years, when guys like Malik Allen, Jamaal Magloire, Juwan Howard held down that spot Gooden has now.
I actually still like Blair as well. I don’t think that he’s going to be a star in the league, but I think he will be a lot better than Gooden.
As for Gooden, I don’t have a statistical formula that can back me up, other than just watching basketball, but Drew Gooden has negative value in my book. The number of stupid defensive plays, rushed shots, ridiculous passes, and predictable post moves makes me want to vomit whenever he checks into the game. Now, you do have a good point when you mention that relative to Allen, Magliore and Howard he may have some value, but my argument is just get rid of all of those guys and see if you can find another way to absorb the minutes they are wasting.
I know you are more intimately involved with the mavs than I am, so I should defer to you more, but maybe I can phrase my opinion as a warning: Be prepared to hate Drew Gooden in March.

by nightbluefruit on Jul 26, 2009 12:36 PM PDT up reply actions
I was never a fan of Gooden, though offensively he was nice in quite a number of games I saw especially in Cleveland. He hits that front shot about one or two steps inside the three point line very consistently. Statistically his PER is above league average (while his salary now is about $1.5 million below), and about in line with Bass. But I know that defensively I wouldn’t trust him to stop any number of PFs in the western conference, much less centers (don’t know why some Mavs fans see him as a C). I hope the Mavs still sign some Euro, D-League player or at least Hollins who gave some nice effort on that end last year. Otherwise I’ll expect a lot of Kidd, Terry, Howard, Marion, Dirk which is decent when it comes to defensive rebounding (Dirk gets little credit for being good there, and Marion isn’t bad either) but not exactly a fearsomely physical front court.
If Gooden was satisfied with taking the drive-and-kick spot up J that you mentioned, I would be happy with him as a bench four. But that guy eats possessions. His post offense is almost as cancerous as Z-bo’s. It is an abomination. It makes me shiver when I think about it.
Also, I know the whole personality as a player is equivalent to personality as a baller is not always an effective approximation, but sometimes it just seems to fit. Jordan was a heartless assassin on and off the court. Ditto for Gooden, but replace “heartless assassin” with “spaz.”
I like Kidd, Terry, Howard, Marion and Dirk as a starting five, but ultimately I don’t believe any team is winning a championship with Drew Gooden contributing significant minutes, and no team in the west is even making the finals if you’re counting on 18 minutes a night from him.

18 minutes, 3/6, 5/6 from the line, four rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 fouls, no turnovers. They say he won’t be in the qualification as agreed to with the Bulls, but they still seem to hope that he might return if they qualify for the EuroBasket. He was definitely helping them in those test games. If only to keep minutes for inferior players like Gomis and Petro lower.

love the 5 assist line
what is Nic’s role on the team?
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
The Lloyd acquisition will mean that he’ll be sprinting on the fast break quite a bit… I am hoping that Nate will put the ball in his hands a little more in the halfcourt, let him initiate in pick and roll situations. He’s got good handles and court vision.
life is better as an optimist
talking about the French team
does he play like a point forward for them?
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Defensive stopper against whoever is the best wing on the other team, and the national team coach (who happens to be Nic’s old coach) used him at SG quite extensively so he can have Diaw on at the same time, and because Parker had a minor injury. He seems to trust Nic’s ability of dribbling, though Nando De Colo is the default ball handler when Parker isn’t in.
Spurs sign Theo Ratliff
He can’t hit a jumpshot like Kurt Thomas, but still one of the better interior defenders.

I think it’s a good mix of talent, but just a season too late to seriously contend for a title (though if LA loses Odom….it could make things interesting).

I just listened to the Andre Miller conference call
It was the regular cliche stuff. All the local media (both Portland and Philly) asked their standard questions. When it was winding down (KP said “just a couple more questions”) some tool asked Dre what restaurant Kp took him to. His response was funny. “Are you serious??” Guy says: “yeah”, so Dre says “Some Italian place….I think I had pasta”…..check it out

Nate’s later interview on him is better. http://www.blazersedge.com/2009/7/26/963538/nate-mcmillan-on-andre-miller
He really stresses his experience and ability to act like an on-court coach in pressure situations, and hopes that he will make all those around him better. He also states that he likes the PG rotation now, and will still give Bayless chances and hopes he can learn from Miller.
I was just updating my podcasts and came across the Miller presser/conference call
Pretty run of the mill stuff with the exception of that last question ……which was really stupid. I will check out the one you linked

that depth chart is fantastic
this is priceless
When I was a kid, I went to a Timberwolves game and I actually won a prize of being able to hang out with KO for a day. I was only, like, 5, but it sounded super awesome so I got to go. Turns out hanging with Ollie for a "normal" day basically consisted of driving around being really cranky looking for his "friends", picking up some money from his "girlfriend and her friends" and huffing gold spray paint out of a garbage bag.

“Since they won the FIBA World Championship, not many players have been able to get into the team and to be one of them gives me pride as well as to wear the national team colors.”

Indeed. There are 4 PGs (“base”) on the team w/o Calderon according to the Spanish fed site, and none of them is Sergio
Sergio is out until he shows improvement.
Just IMO. Either he needs to improve in Sac, or improve when he moves back overseas. He’s basically been invisible for two years.
Thinking it over a little bit, the word "improvement" is questionable
There’s still an argument that he’s better than seen the last few years. If that is the case, then it’s simply about playing time and visibility.
then the key word is
“shows”

Yeah, I’m not Sergio’s biggest fan, but it’s a bit harsh if they take Rubio (obviously), Lopez (NBA bust, thought Jerry Sloan is partly to blame), Llull (promising project, but not more proven than Sergio) and Cabezas (Knicks had some interest, but really needs some time to develop). Then there is another rookie guard with Blanco, though they list him as a SG. And Navarro can do both of course. Lopez moves from Spain to Russia next year. Llull was drafted but stays in Spain. So not sure the situation will change much until the world championships, when likely Calderon will be back.
Problem for Sergio is, while Sacramento was maybe the best environment KP could find for him, Evans and Udrih are not a piece of cake to overcome either. The owner already all but blurted out during summer league that Evans will start and take 30+ minutes, and since he is huge posting up players they will need guys to space the floor around him. That’s not Sergio with his outside shot. And for the backup spot it’s Sergio vs. the more experienced Udrih. That could really lead to him going back to Spain.

Oh oh, Yahoo reports Monty Williams IS among the finalists for the Wolves job unlike reported earlier
League sources say the finalists include ABC-TV analyst and former NBA point guard Mark Jackson, Houston Rockets assistant Elston Turner, Los Angeles Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis and Portland Trail Blazers assistant Monty Williams. Jackson has been considered the front-runner.
I feel bad about rooting against Monty getting the Minn job, but same here.
On the other hand, we survived when Tim Grgurich left, even though everyone raved about him. We’ll be ok here too.
I really like Monty… a better opportunity than Minnesota will come up next year, hopefully. It’s partly me wanting him as a Blazer and partly wanting him to be in a position to succeed.
life is better as an optimist
It's all about me wanting him to be a Blazer :)
He seems to be a very intelligent assistant. Which of course may be exactly why we lose him.
I'm still bored and in the mood to make a simple, albeit interesting trade proposals.
FROM PORTLAND & TO NEW JERSEY
2010 First-Round Draft Pick (Via The Dallas Mavericks)
FROM PORTLAND & TO NEW JERSEY
Travis Outlaw ($3,600,000)
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nk3uaf
For the New Jersey Nets, the team currently has a hole at small forward with Bobby Simmons, Jarvis Hayes, and Trenton Hassel taking up space on the roster. As a result, Travis Outlaw would be a cheap, cost-effective stopgap at the position for one season; he’d be acquired via the trade exception formed from the Vince Carter deal earlier this summer.
For the Portland Trail Blazers, the team cuts ties with Outlaw. In the process, payroll is slashed in the interim and a future asset is obtained via a future first-round draft pick.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
if the reports about Memphis being willing to give a draft pick for Travis were true, that would be a very interesting deal.
After summer league, I feel like Cunningham could take 12 minutes per game at the backup 4.
life is better as an optimist
thinking over this… I think Travis needs to be moved, just to be fair. He won’t get enough minutes to showcase his talents in a contract year. It’d be cool if he could get a big pay day next summer.
life is better as an optimist
Yeah, it'd be in the best interest of both the Portland Trail Blazers and Travis Outlaw if he's ...
traded elsewhere. The New Jersey Nets would be a nice destination for him, too, at least for one season during his contract year.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.

It’s a damn shame seeing a great writer like you struggling and it’s 100% caused by this transition from print to the Internet.
A lot of times I read your columns twice just to enjoy the pace. You start at point A and you roll forward with total command ’til you get to point Z. It’s a lot harder than it looks and there are millions of writers out there who can’t do it.
Reading this post, I regret even more being occasionally cranky on this site. I’d like to blame some of it on the times but that’s no excuse. Sorry for my occasional venting.
But while we’re on that…. imagine being #1 in a super-competitive national field and you lose a sweet part-time freelance gig because they want to try someone else. (Cough – Conan – Cough) So I’ve been a little grouchy myself this summer.
Some have speculated that it’s our shared past at the Tribune behind the attitude, but I was over that a long time ago. Oh well. I hope you land on your feet, Dwight. I sort of sensed the whole, "I just need time to reflect away from the Tribune" was spin. They had a winning writer in you and they blew it. Just like they did with Phil.
The good news is you have great writing talent and vast knowledge of the sports biz – that should eventually work in your favor. May it be sooner rather than later. Best of luck in the future.

So Brandon's thinking about changing to his uniform number to 3.
Hmmm. That would be weird. But I imagine the Blazers would love it for merchandise purposes.
It was his college number
He moved to 7 when he arrived in Portland and Juan Dixon had the number 3.
[shakes his fist] DIXOOOOOOON!
Yeah, I know.
I don’t like it when players change their numbers though. It’s only OK when they change teams.
The Blazers are missing out on a gold mine
Not only old numbers… but if I could get a Roy (Or Rudy, Joel or Greg) jersey with the old 1990 style, I’d already have one.
they really should have a throwback night next year
and start selling the old school jerseys.

For those who didn't see the article today...
Portland is considering hiring Brian Grant as the replacement assistant coach for Oden/Centers, if Mo Lucas decides he can’t return.
Bayno’s experience with depression and Grant’s experience in the league is a really good tandem for Oden. I’d love to see Brian on the coaching staff.
life is better as an optimist
A reminder of the collective BE prognostication skills:
Fanpost: Who should Oden’s big man coach be?
Number of people who guessed Brian Grant: Zero.
Fanpost: Patrick Ewing? [A recommendation for a big man coach]
Number of people who guessed Brian Grant: Zero
Fanpost: Blazers top priority, to find a coach for GO.
Number of people who guessed Brian Grant: Zero
The funny part is that I did the research so I could give credit to anyone who correctly predicted Brian as the next possible big man coach. But nobody did!
Another reminder how an answer could be right in front of us, and we collectively never notice it.
This is a test.

doesn't sound like Roy will be suiting up for Team USA anytime soon
…and those who were no-shows for two straight summers for whatever reason (that would be you, Brandon Roy), have accumulated what is known as negative equity.
My feeling too
I’m split. Half of me wants him to represent the US in international play. The other half of me wants to limit his wear-and-tear in the offseason.
that can't hurt Roy's chances should he eventually decide he wants on the team
but Colangelo and Coach K are definitely in charge, so I’m not sure how much clout Nate has.
if roy wants to play then he'll make the team in 2012. he's too talented to leave off just because he didnt want to waste a few summers
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
He'll have to start showing a commitment at some point.
There are plenty of talented players… Colangelo and Coach K have said all along they are looking for a commitment.
interesting
if he wants to play in ‘12 I don’t see how the team doesn’t take him though

Why you ask?
It’s hard to evaluate your own game, but I’d say this (feel free to chime in other BEdgers who’ve played with me…):
Shooting—6.8/10
I have odd-looking form…weird step-up thing like Travis kinda’….plus my backspin follow through is slightly off center. It spins a little funny. I like shooting three balls, and make a decent amount, but not as many as I’d like. I don’t like shooting off the bounce. More of a catch-and shoot. I’ll drive the lane for the floater if I’m being guarded by a smaller guard (BRP) or a big guy I know I can drive by (S4E). ;-)~
Ball handling—6.0/10
I can handle the ball, but I’m not the smoothest operator. I usually bring the ball up out of necessity. I’d rather play shooting guard.
Passing—7.3/10
I usually find the open man and I don’t seem to turn it over too much, at least on the pass.
Defense—7.9/10
I can match the speed and quickness of the smaller guards (BRP is tough though—he really is a Broy at driving the lane), and yet I’m tall enough to handle inside jobs, assuming I don’t give up too much in the weight department. Plus I’m not lazy, so I very rarely leave my man uncovered on a fast-break, which leads me to the final category…
Endurance—9.0/10
I like up-and-down games, and I’d play all night long if everyone else was down for it.

Then we found out he doesnt dominate like that
and we wanted him back to college form
and guess what :)

does this mean that the
BIG BIG centers like Shaq are near extinct?
The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

I guess....D Howard might be 300 late in his career
but I can’t see him at 330 like shaq daddy
by prezofdeath on Jul 26, 2009 11:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Howard is only 6’9’’ or so, doubt he’d be effective anywhere near Shaq’s weight, which isn’t 330. He was huge this past season.

is he really only 6'9?!?!
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/dwight_howard/
has him listed at 6’11’’
i know those things might exaggerate a lil, but can he really only be 6’9? the man is huge
by prezofdeath on Jul 26, 2009 11:18 PM PDT up reply actions
6'9.5 on predraft, and i bet he grew an inch after that
he was only 18 coming into the league.
by prezofdeath on Jul 26, 2009 11:19 PM PDT up reply actions
came into the league at a flat 6’9’’. Has he grown? I suppose it’s possible. He just seems a few inches shorter than Greg, Shaq, etc.

dang, i thought he was legit 6'11, but i maybe not
he just seems…big.
by prezofdeath on Jul 26, 2009 11:52 PM PDT up reply actions
I think it’s the shoulders and leaping ability… I remember reading someone saying that he’s kind of a PF/C hybrid, just lacking the outside shot necessary at the high post.

He looks like I guy I wouldn't want to cross, if he's in a bad mood.
Well, unless he’s sitting on a plane, and I really really want to get a picture next to him. Then, maybe.

Allen Iverson is still a free agent!
They could use the cap room to re-sign him and play him at the 2 with blake at the point and travis at the 3

Iggy in Portland would be sick
but Granger is probably just as unrealistic of a possibility and I like Granger more lol
