Perhaps a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals (should the Knicks bow out prematurely) Bulls vs Heat. I think the Bulls win. The Heat start off slow traditionally and then turn it up in the Second half of huge season but fantasy hoops fans ride the Derrick Rose train.

Clippers over Lakers by 45 points.

i respect that gm who admits that tanking is the way to go if you're not gonna be any good. we should have been tanking harder during those early walsh/d'antoni years.

You can't tank with Dolan and D'Antoni.

dolan let walsh tear it down. he knew we were gonna suck for awhile. it was walsh's decision not to go all the way. he thought we would have to be somewhat competitive to get lebron.

Funny how no one talks about it. When we do something right it never gets talked about.

Evan Turner is eligible for a contract extension with the Philadelphia 76ers, but a deal appears unlikely as the franchise undergoes a massive rebuild.

Turner was asked about his future with the 76ers on Friday.

"I'm not a GM," said Turner. "I'm going to get money regardless."

Turner figures to have an opportunity to have an extraordinarily high usage rate this season with the 76ers lacking depth.

Turner is checking out early :rofl:
