Not to sure about half those guys you listed but it really hurts that we passed on Drummond. Dude is a monster. Complete opposite of Fat Al and we would be so much more watchable from a national stand point. Big Al might be the most boring NBA player in the league.

Would you throw huge money at him?

Im thinking the Lakers are going to do everything they can to land Drummond next year. Kobe would have to take a huge paycut or just retire though so who knows. I just dont see him going to a small market.

Well based on the education rankings of our fan footprint. I would assume we are pretty high on the grammar/education ratio.

I'd say they've pretty much a hit a home run on every avenue of player acquisition available to them

Tanked for : Curry, Barnes (Epic tank job to keep this pick)

Savvy Drafting - Green, Ezeli, Thompson

Traded for: Bogut

Key Free Agents : Livingston, Iguodala, Speights, Barbosa (I think all but barbosa would potentially start for the Hornets)

Drummed with 28/29 tonight. Wow. He really is Dwight re-incarnated.

And the Magic with another great performance tonight. They could be trouble this year. I think their floor is 35 wins.

i've heard that isn't true and was based on a fake Brian Windhorst tweet

Edit: the second part about the arrest and taser. TMZ though I just read says he was acting crazy and had to be restrained by medical people and taken to the hospital.

Yeah, a Miami beat reporter seems to be definitively putting that down:

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
To address rumors circulating, the Miami Police Department said Heat guard Gerald Green, who has been hospitalized, has not been arrested.

Spoiler:
The Heat guard is hospitalized at this hour after police were called to his condominium following a commotion earlier today. The city of Miami police department told The Herald that Green was not arrested.

Police call logs show that police were summoned to the Marquis Residences Condominium, at 1100 Biscayne Blvd., at 10:46 am today because of a "male down."

According to a Herald source, Miami Fire Rescue requested assistance because of a "combative patient" at that address.

Police assisted but did not write a report and nobody was arrested at the condominium.

Multiple witnesses at the condo told TMZ that Green "was acting strange in the lobby of the condo ... screaming at the top of his lungs."

TMZ said it was by told by several people "that there was a huge commotion and it took several people -- including emergency personnel -- to restrain Green and get him on a stretcher and into an ambulance."

Mario Chalmers was at the scene, tried to help and accompanied Green in the ambulance, according to TMZ. The Herald has confirmed that Chalmers was with Green at the hospital today.

"This morning we were informed that Gerald Green was admitted into the hospital," the Heat said in a statement. "Right now our concerns are with Gerald and we have no further comment at this time.”

Green, 29, was inactive for Tuesday's game against the Hawks with an undisclosed illness.

Green has never been suspended by the NBA for an off-court incident, and there is nothing documented in his past to suggest anything related to mental illness.

The Heat did not practice Wednesday and are flying this afternoon to play in Minnesota Thursday night.

Our Chuck Rabin and Ethan Skolnick contributed to this.

Watching Lebron Melo on ESPN and both look cooked. I know they're not but right now Steph Curry is the most entertaining player to watch by far. It's not even close. The game highlights his strengths and is moving away from iso offense. Lebron is a good passer but he takes a lot of shots and goes one on one a lot. Lebrons outside shot also seems to be fading.

Knicks nailed the Porzingis pick.

Curry just can have anywhere near the defensive and rebounding impact that Lebron can. When Lebrons motivated he can still dominate literally every aspect of the game. Curry completely dominates on offense, but on the other end he is just regular good PG defender.
