Yup.
So Spurs signed R.J and an old 35 year old McDyess that averaged 9.6ppg and 9.8 rpg, and givin the history of draft picks the Spurs have gotten out of Parker and Manu I would say Blair might be a decent pick, but to go from first round elimination for last years playoffs to a favorite is seriously a joke. Specially when your ranking teams like DC said the Cs/La/Orl in 3/4/5th is seriously either a lack of knowledge about the game or your being very bias towards your favorite teams based on ish that doesnt have to do with basketball.
He writes "You can't argue that the Trevor Ariza-for-Ron Artest swap doesn't look good on paper"
Sure, but isnt that how your basing your opinion about both the Cavs and the Spurs?
Then he writes.
"But as I've said before, I have my reservations about Artest "
Ya okay and what is your reservations about Artest.............. NOTHING, More like Im waiting for him to screw up before I give him or the Lakers props.
Since here is all of his articles he has written for S.I and nowhere has he actually discussed anything about R-test,
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/writer ... x/archive/but you can tell he is a Spurs homer and he claims that he is reservations about Artest yet he writes on this article.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/w ... index.html"Equally important for the Spurs is that they did not have to break apart their core to make the deal"
Okay so here's the defending champs that basically has their entire core of their championship team less ONE player "Ariza" and we picked up "R-test"
-- "which explains why the defending champions are No. 3 on this list. Will the 29-year-old forward accept a complementary role? Will he play within the offense and control his shot selection?"
I guess this idiot doesnt realize that we actually do have a few players named Kobe as well as Pau, Lamar, Bynum etc, or how about the fact that we acquired R-test for his defensive presence and the fact that R-test has addressed that he is looking to play D and lock down ******. I guess his offense or shot selection isnt a concern for us or him and Im sure he will be able to play withing our offense, I mean even numnuts like Kwame and Smush were able to, what makes this idiot think that R-test cant.
Also the Cavs coming out in second, I can clearly see the Cs and the Majic owning the Cavs this season.
