Here in Italy about the inbound market is said to Minnie try to trade a contract between Budinger-Barea-Brewer before the deadline... is it true? But we will try to put another strong player in the roster or just to lighten the salary cap?

(sorry for my english

i hope it's clear my opinion )

wtf?

Headlines that end with a ? are almost always able to be answered with a simple "No". This article is no different.

I kind of feel bad for Glenn. Poor guys gets his number taken and then just forgotten about in all of this media hype. That's pretty rough for someone that Flip said he thought was a first round talent and was looking forward to having on the team.

He's not under contract. It'd be pretty dumb to bring him to these things and advertise him as part of the future if he might not even be on the team.

Oh I know. I'm sure if he were under contract he would be there. I'm just saying that Flip really likes Glenn and I'm guessing is trying to find a spot for him. Until that happens, though, Glenn has to just sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else have fun. That's why I feel bad for him.

"Joining Rubio and Wiggins in the realm of keepers are Shabazz Muhammad (who wasn't given too many chances to thrive under the tutelage of Rick Adelman),.."

Everyone started hating on him sometime right before his college season. No one will explain why they say he's junk, but it became pretty trendy. I know how hoping works, so I try to stay away from it, but I really do hope Shabazz gets a chance to play this year. He worked for it.

I saw that picture the other day. My brother didn't want him to lose weight, thinking he's gotta bulk up for a post game. I, however, agree with you. Quickness and stamina will only help Shabazz's game. He's still gonna be plenty strong to post up 2's and most 3's. Hell, Flip is talking about "playing him PF in the small rotation".

Did you see this by chance...?

"As I said to our staff, all of the (players) here, they better be ready because (Muhammad) is going to be coming into camp with a chip on his shoulder," Saunders said. "He is going to come in with a focus on what he wants to accomplish."

Someday I'll figure out how to steal that banner off C. Lupus. But for now:

FREE SHABAZZ

That Bazz pic looks like the mysterious trainer is actually a mysterious roid tycoon.

Tracy McGrady is considering a comeback to NBA, maybe he is done as a player, but if we hadn't as many players he would be a good piece to help improving the game of Wiggins and Lavine. He wouldn't be worse than Hummel.

Eh, I don't know. I think there are better options than to sign T-Mac as a mentor.

To be frank, though, I never was a huge fan of his in general.

ace625214 · Post #440 » by **ace625214** » Fri Sep 5, 2014 4:30 pm

McGrady was one of the most talented players ever who never put in work. I mean obviously to get to his level you have to put in some work, but he was nowhere near the level of a Durant, Kobe, LeBron, etc. I remember reading an article where they interviewed one of his former coaches, and they mentioned the 10,000 hour rule. The coach chuckled and said that Tracy had maybe spent a total of 1000 hours practicing in his life. I love T-Mac, but someone who coasts by on natural talent isn't really the type of player I want as a mentor or coach.
