I don't want no parts of Dunleavy on our team unless it was for Taylor straight up.

The Bulls are horrible without Rose. They luckily were able to make up for it some last year with Lil Nate and Belinelli scoring but now they are getting exposed. The smartest thing they might have done was not pay Deng because he's no all-star and never should've been voted in. I want to say the same thing about Noah but I really like his game. He's one of my favorite bigs.

I'm legitimately worried that Portland really is legit. They are 20-4

Trade Jefferson, draft Embiid and Jabari, obtain Kyle Korver, then ride off into the sunset

FYI, the super-efficient & sure to be at least Ray Allen or better Ben McLemore is shooting 35% from the field so far this season, and scoring at the same rate as the 'alleged' to be offensively challenged Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as a rookie

Sick game-winning shot by Damian Lillard to defeat the Pistons in OT tonight, and keep the Blazers atop of the Western Conference standings. Lillard struggled offensively throughout the game, shooting only 6 of 21 (0 of 7 on 3-pointers) from the field, but he came through in the clutch

I didn't know Lillard was shooting so poorly for the season. After tonight, his FG% has dipped to .394 for the season

To give Bobcats fans a comparison, that's lower than Kemba Walker's .397 FG% on the season

The Blazers as a team is blazing hot but Lillard isn't necessarily setting the world on fire. The addition of Robin Lopez for grit has helped them tremendously. LMA has been playing more physical too on the glass. Not to mention Mo Will off the bench.

The Kings don't look too bad since they came out of the closet.

Rudy Gay has been good. We got them next.

RE: 2013 NBA Draft Prospect

Tim (Tucson)

Why isn't Alex Len getting any playing time?

Tom Haberstroh (2:11 PM)

Ankle issues have bothered him all season and even the Phoenix training staff can't solve it! Also, he may not be an NBA player yet. Would love to see him get action in the D-League and get some reps.

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/49637

I remember some posters wary of Alex Len's stress fracture fearing that he would go down the same path as Žydrūnas Ilgauskas before his career even get started while other posters were writing it off as something that wouldn't hinder him

The Kings are looking for a pass-first PG to come off the bench. Why don't they just sign Kendall Marshall?

Because, god knows why, they are actually trying to win this season. How else do you explain being that bad and then going all in for Rudy Gay?

Of course this is an NBA season where a team went after (even though hes cheap) D.J. Augustin

I honestly feel like the Bulls signing Augustin was a cover up to disguise their tank and make it look like they are trying. Sign the guy that used to be a name coming out of college and former lottery pick but deep down they know damn well he's no better than Marquise Teague or Mike James these days.
