They may be bringing in some pieces, but how much does Davis have in the tank? That would be my question, and did Knick overpay for Chandler? I think they might of.

Durant Becomes First Beneficiary Of 'Derrick Rose Rule'
Dec 20, 2011 4:29 PM EST

Kevin Durant has become the first beneficiary of the so-called 'Derrick Rose Rule'.

Durant meets the eligibility considerations by being named to the All-NBA first team in 2010 and 2011.

Had Durant not been granted the larger maximum salary, his 2010-11 earnings would have been $12,922,194 and his five-year extension would have totaled $74,302,616. By being granted the larger maximum, Durant earns an extra $2,584,438 this season and an extra $14,860,519 over the life of his extension.

As a result of Durant's new designation, the Thunder are also now over the salary cap.

Thunder got owned.

D. Rose on signing his extension, "I can finally say this now, mom. We finally made it".

Mad respect for him.

What's up with the Celtics? They're apparently still shopping Rondo, they lost Green, they're adding some minor pieces, all while KG and Allen are expiring this year...
The only core member of their team on a long term contract is Pierce...
They also talked about shipping JO...
Are they toying with full rebuild mode, or are they trying to gear up for another run?

I wonder if KG and Allen are thinking about retiring after this season?

Can't tell you how much it irks me that the Heat got a steal in Norris Cole with their 28th draft pick.

Jetset · Post #738 » by **Jetset** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:51 am

Nets just lost 106-70.

To the Hawks. That is all.

The Heat's PA announcer is unbelievably annoying.
