Batum block was clean.

Lillard with consecutive scores to probably win the game.

To me it depends on your definition. If you mean its likely theyll make the finals then pretty much the Thunder, Heat, and Lakers are the only contenders. Otherwise I think you have to include Memphis in that 2nd tier group of teams with an outside shot.

That is my definition, and I agree with those teams.

Why can't Memphis contend? This is the first year Zach and Rudy get an entire season together and they can beat Miami, OKC or LAL. I think they can win a title, especially if they bring in some reinforcements at the deadline. Personally I would love to see a Memphis vs Milwaukee Finals.

I would think they'll try to trade Amare.

Too young?

It's going to be awesome when Amare comes back. :lol:

Lillard averaging 19.3 ppg @ .565 TS. Pretty impressive for a rookie, even if he is 22. Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge is a pretty solid core. They need a stud big man next to Aldridge though.

I wish the Batum signing would have gone through for Minny. Rubio/Shved/Batum/Love/Pek would have been a very fun young core to watch.

Meyers Leonard?

Wonder if the Bucks would go after Marshon Brooks since he's a bit buried in Brooklyn.

He sucks. I wouldn't give up any of our rotation players for him and obviously nothing more than 2nd rounder.

He and Lillard already have the chemistry. He won't be all-star level but doesn't need to be next to LMA.

Also, I was watching the Jazz/Sixers game last night and man that Jazz team is very ugly on offense. They have no way to move the ball around really and they have way too many big guys.

Mo Will/Hayward/Marv Will is one of the ugliest fitting 1-2-3 starting in the NBA. Then they go to their 3 PF lineup and it gets uglier.

Anybody know why the Boston/Toronto game started at 11:30 today?

He doesn't suck, but the point is Hammond liked him and his opportunity in Brooklyn is diminished. May be a guy we could look at.

He can't beat out Keith bogans for minutes. He can't play within an offense. Doesn't give effort defensively. Why would you want the guy on our team, and what are you thinking of giving up?

And Brockman is out of the league, signed with a team in France

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO

Word around NBA is Jazz G Alec Burks is available. Burks, the 12th overall draft pick in 2011, has played in just 5 of Jazz's 10 games.

This would be another to look at.

I think it's a little early in his career to say definitively what he is. I'd probably be willing to give up Lamb for him, but suspect Brooklyn would want more.

This Utah team is so talented, but not producing the way the should. Granted the bulk of their games have been on the road so far, but their results should be better.

Memphis @ Charlotte right now..
