Size is one of the knocks on him- 6'7" pudgy PF who is a little too in love with the perimeter. A set of highlights taken from one game is misleading - so far he is shooting around 35%.

He has ZERO chance to be in the Melo category. If he could get conditioned to 225 I think he could be a poor man's Deng. Oladipo should have been the pick- Cavs should have traded out of the pick. That said, I think the Cavs will have a decent team- for me that means one less team in the Bucks way come Draft time.



Reminds me of Sam Perkins a bit.

It's possible I severely underestimated the Cavs....Tristan Thompson & Dion Waiters look ready to take another step this year and Anthony Bennett might be more ready to make an impact than I expected if he can get his conditioning up to par.....although....having a MVP caliber point guard certainly makes other guys look better and makes everyone's job easier.

Bennett was cleared for full basketball activity a week ago. He hadn't played full speed competitive ball in months. He'll be just fine.

I read that as last man left in LA goes down with the ship. If my career was winding down that is pretty much the last situation I would want to be in (tied to a proud team with an aged Kobe trying to score enough points to catch Jabaar as all the fans blame me for the team's lack of success).


Don't question him wanting to leave LA, but he's taking a paycut regardless, possibly a big one depending on this year.

I'd think he has more of a chance of being Melo then Deng

Hard sell to the fans when you give away a 1st to get Lowry, then Ed Davis to get Rudy Gay and then blow it up? I agree they should have dumped Gay but I can see where fan backlash could be bad.


People will forget very quickly if they got Wiggins.

As an aside, I hope Oden gets back on the court and contributes something meaningful in the next few years. I mean the Heat suck but I'll be rooting for him.

Shaun Livingston a rebound and two assists shy of a triple double heading into the 4th.

The Lakers currently have 60 points vs the Warriors, I'm guessing 40 of them have been scored on Lee, meanwhile the callers gush about his 20 points. So normal programming has resumed.

Is that from the punch or did he get injured in a game? I haven't' been following him at all since he was traded.

They say it's from impacted wisdom teeth, but I think the coincidence is interesting

Spurs waive Maggette (he said he would retire if he didn't make the team...)

This would be kind of awesome if the average Joe 9-5 had this.

Yeah, I can't come into work for the next 3 weeks. My tooth broke my jaw.
