rubio + klove + dwight just complement each other so well it doesnt make sense.


with all the room the lakers are making in 2014 all im saying is i wouldnt be suprised if they got one or both.

Rubio is restricted and loves it here. Love...theres always a chance, but still think he stays unless we miss the playoffs every year.

Michael Beasley and one of the Lakers 1sts for a conditional 2nd round pick.

And trust me... the Pistons will be getting screwed.

I tried telling them not to get their hopes up with Beas or Wes. Then I was immediately called a troll.

Darko Milicic is leaning strongly toward leaving the Boston Celtics for the season and returning to Europe to be with his ill mother, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Milicic, the No. 2 overall pick in the famed 2003 NBA Draft, didn't travel with the Celtics to Detroit this weekend, and sources say that he's close to deciding to leave the NBA for the season to be with his ill mother in Serbia. After failing to play since opening night, After failing to play since opening night, Milicic has also been frustrated with his lack of a role with the Celtics, sources said.

If Milicic, 27, leaves the Celtics less than a month into his one-year contract, it could ultimately spell the end of a disappointing NBA career that has included stops in Detroit, Orlando, Memphis, Minnesota and briefly, Boston.

In recent years, Milcic has strongly considered a permanent return to Europe. Leaving the Celtics now could ultimately push him toward that phase of his career.

Boston coach Doc Rivers met with Milicic recently and told him to take time to make a decision on his family and future, sources said. Milicic had been productive in the preseason, but has fallen behind Jason Collins in the Celtics' rotation.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. LOL at the Celtics fans trying to convince us that KG would change him.

Blazer fans are probably saying the same thing.

Difference is 99% of us knew the risk of bringing in Roy and had low expectations for him. Most of us just expected him to be better than Wes Johnson. Which he has been, sadly. A lot of Celtics fans believed Darko would revitalize his career only because KG was there.

When/if Darko finally makes his 'threat' to leave for Europe come true, I wonder if there still will be interest in him from teams looking for big bodies in the off-season.

are you sure he really got the chance though, he hasn't played this year. KG's impact was on-court; ie he didn't make Wally or Spree or Cassell into non-aholes - they were exactly the same from a personality standpoint - but he made them way better players on-court.

Cassell had been launching daggers on court since he was a rookie, and Spree was also a very good player. KG had plenty of talent to work with there.

Darko had been a let down from day one, on every team he's played for.

im just throwing out that playing w/ KG made a lot of guys look pretty good, not just stars like above, but theres lots of bit players through the years like Hassell and Mark Blount that had moments w/ KG. I'm not defending it too strongly, Darko might not have had any impact at all, but I don't think the chance has been given yet considering the lack of minutes.

Add Ryan Hollins, Earvin Johnson, Kendrick Perkins and Michael Olowokandi (for a 5 games stretch) to that list.

Anyway KG can't do that anymore. Too old.

“I believe these guys can win. I don’t have doubts. I come in here every day, thinking: ‘This is the night. I feel good,’ ” Wittman said, via Michael Lee. “I might be dumb.”

We play them in a couple of weeks too...any good players out helps us, especially when we have our own stars out.

Not saying it's a guaranteed win, but yeah..

I forgot the Wizards had The Owl as the headcoach. I should watch some of their games just to see the stupid look on his face again.
