No he can't play at the NBA level period. Lately most of Duke's players have been over glorified in college and suck in the pros.

Good for the Hawks, hopefully they'll make the playoffs.

Sucks for the Suns and that 1st round pick they were hoping would be a lotto pick and have be a valuable pick/assest.

:lol:

This is what they get for thinking they were on our level. Like Charles Barkley said, "What rivalry? They never beat the Lakers once. You have to win at least 1 time in order to have a rivalry."

....which makes me think the lakers can acquire andre miller, 2nd rounder for sasha vujacic, vlad rad, ariza

there is only one way to make the rivalry argument, and that is to go with the rivalry of the minniapolis lakers vs the rochester royals.

Good trade for both teams...

Hawks get significantly better and I hope they disrupt the flow of the top four teams in the East a bit during the playoffs, maybe even knock off one.

You are crazy.

Fisher and Farmar are two great PGs and triangle fits. Vujacic, Radmanovic, Ariza for Andre Miller? NEVER.

Bibby
Joe Johnson
Josh Smith
Marvin Williams
AL HOrford

Acie Law off the bench, thats a pretty good line up

And here I was thinking he was like 12...

I don't really think he realizes that his life is just about to get really sucky. no sex for a while, a mortgage looming every month, the pressure of not failing out school, and a cranky wife that is gonna resent him for not helping out enough when he is studying, all at the same time.

@ the phoenix suns' draft pick now.

There's so many people who only see this trade as "4 scrubs for 1 star".

It amazes me. How can so many people who watch sports not understand why the trade was made? It's not just "4 scrubs". It's salary cap relief. Expiring contracts are more valuable than the players sometimes.

There's a business side to basketball that so many people aren't even aware that exists.

Are you talking about the part where players smuggle kidnapped babies to paying couples in other states? Cuz I'm pretty sure that's what you meant.

either than or how flexible cap room makes both FA hunting, lop sided salary trades, and selling franchises to new owners.... but I'm going with the first one
