they will probably sneak into the lottery and win the 1st overall pick again.

With their luck, they'll pick a corpse.

they will pick a player who starts off great, then refuse to trade him for a proven all-star and get stuck with that player after he turns into a corpse.

the blazers had all the trading chips in the world and they sat on them refusing to ever part ways with any of their young players or picks. and now they are screwed.

And draft a player with a (not yet) bad knee.

If you look on the Blazers board there are suspicions that they knew and drafted anyway.

Well guys, after SEVERAL weeks of calls and discussions, I finally have an internet connection at my house. It involved several trips by the cable company, a few mistakes on their part, and general anxiety on mine but it was finally completed. It's the miracle of miracles.

I think I missed a GT or too as well (unfortunately) but I'm back. Woo. Just in time; Kwame's playing well, Silas is coaching well, and we're no longer looking like the lolcats.

And just like Rich, now that you are back if we start sucking again Jaruff you are going to have to go off the grid again!!

Yea, I know. :lol:

Silas coming back to Charlotte has been a blessing though. I doubt he's back next year (I have a feeling that MJ saves money and hires Oakley) but he's great for us now.

I'm thinking Silas would make a PERFECT assistant coach for us to a new, young head coach who is still green.

Silas appears to have that special way with people - something that is important to have around IMO.

Prokhorov Pulls Out Of Deal With Denver.

Thank God, I got mad respect for Prokhorov, he did the right thing in walking away.

how disgusted would you be as a nuggets fan this year? to have your entire season ruined by the never-ending melo drama. that must be brutal as a fan, to be caught in limbo like that.

The new Denver management SUCKS, i'd be soooooo pissed if i was a Nugget fan, thankfully i'm not.

Can't be as bad as seeing an old senior citizen rape your team while he cries about players he lost.

And now he has taken out a hit on the entire Denver front office.

Anyone else sad that Griffin's double double run has come to an end? I was hoping he would double double in every game for the rest of the season.

Anthony Randolph traded to the Pacers for a 1st round pick?

Could the Knicks be making their move for Melo?

Extremely, i was gunning for him to break KG's double double streak record. Oh well, at least the Clippers are winning.

why would anyone give up a 1st for him at this point?

definitely looks as if the knicks are making their run though.
