Z-Bo is one of my litmus tests to find out how much someone knows about the NBA. If they've never heard of him, they don't follow the NBA at all. If they think he's an okay or good player, they do follow the NBA, but very casually, and know nothing about it. If they think he sucks, they probably know what they're talking about.

Sterling/Dunleavy and Heisley/Wallace are pretty much the two most incompetent owner/GM combos in the league, but I am shocked the Clippers were able to pull off this coup.

You're joking, right? The Knicks couldn't have turned that down .. unless it was when Isaiah was GM
Am I not seeing the green ink here?

It's like the Down's Syndrome kid screwing over the severely (Please Use More Appropriate Word) kid in a trade of lunchbag sandwiches

I went over to the MEM board to see what they-all thought about it, being a Grizz fan since day one. One poster said it was actually a solid deal for the Grizz because QR was costing them 6 or 7-million anyway and giving them nothing so they really got Zach for only 9 million.

:o :o

I mean, wtf?

I think you have to decide whether Heisley is this smart (if callous), or just stupid.

Well if he comes out to the media saying "either im a genius or im a moron.", then we know from past morons that he is a moron. If it smells like Kerr and acts like Kerr, then it must be a moron.

That article sure puts things into perspective. Even before reading this article I felt bad for Griffin when the Clips won the lotto.
