Oh, I thought they were a separate entity. Maybe so.

Kyler works for USAToday?

Pretty sure. Hoopsworld or whatever he writes for is owned by USA Today. They publish stuff at USA Today all the time. Him and Alex Kennedy.

Him and Alex Kennedy suck. Always have and always will spew out and recycle "inside info"

They used to be horrible. They do get scoops now. Mostly though, they get heads up, so they can write articles that can be released as soon as an official source breaks the news. Part of the deal is they cannot say anything about it until it is officially leaked.

Kyler and Kennedy both knew of Dwight's decision many hours ago, they've already written their articles about it, and are ready to hit the bricks and promote USA Today news with it.

I am underwhelmed by DH's big 3. That would be that much better if he did all this and still a 2nd round exit.

Three guys who believe they should take every shot in the game. This should be fun haha. I don't think any of those guys are really team players. Certainly not Dwight and josh.

Heck, will be hard enough getting out of the first round out West these days.

Imagine a first round HOU/LAL matchup...I wouldn't bet against Kobe in that.

Smith/Asik makes too much sense.

I would bet against Kobe. He isn't winning anything with a washed up Gasol and Nash.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them in the 14th slot of the lottery only to win the whole thing and land Wiggins.

Aşık can back up both 4 and 5 for about 25-28 minutes and that team would be bullet proof, especially if they sign a scoring 4.

3 big rotation. Pretty doable.
