we shoulda picked him over Zeller...and Lamb with the nice dunk we should trade MKG for him ASAP

that might be the greatest pick i have ever seen. perfect execution, gets an assist for an easy layup during the handoff and lays out the defender in the process.

I still wish we would've signed oldhead Jameer Nelson instead of Brian Roberts to backup Kemba. Didn't the Mavs sign Jameer for less than we signed Roberts?

I say that because Jameer has been torching Kyrie tonight but then again who doesn't. Lol

If the Nets ever win anything with Brook Lopez on the court, the city of Brooklyn should erect a glass statue of him at the main entrance of the arena.

They may beat Milwaukee once or something. Does that count?

CDR got the starting nod (due to a injured Matt Barnes --- that still played) and had a good showing for the Clippers last night

I expect he will win that starting job.

On a scale of 1- Ronny Turiaf Towel Popping Excitement, how much fun is the first ever "Kobe PPG > Lakers Win Total" season going to be?

Some idiot on our board started a thread over that scrub too. :roll:

Seriously though, Adams is going to be a beast.

Yikes.

Orlando's brutal offseason just got worse. If they extend Harris to anything north of $9M, they will have the worst defensive frontcourt in the league locked up to $30M/year for the next four years.

If I had Vucevic and he demanded $13.5M, I'd be looking at signing and trading him next summer, or simply trading him now.

I would love to have Harris.

GM survey, barely a mention of any hornets.

Not surprising, really. We don't have many "extremes" on the roster.

For those who care about what we're even mentioned in:

Which team will win the Southeast Division?
1. Washington -- 59.3%
2. Miami -- 29.6%
3. Atlanta -- 7.4%
4. Charlotte -- 3.7%
Last year: Miami -- 100%

What was the most underrated player acquisition?

Lance to Charlotte received a vote. Marvin to Charlotte received a vote.

Which team will be most improved in 2014-15?
1. Cleveland -- 75.0%
2. New Orleans -- 14.3%
3. Chicago -- 7.1%
4. Charlotte -- 3.6%
Last year: Detroit -- 16.7%

What was the most surprising move of the offseason?
1. LeBron James to Cleveland -- 42.9%
2. Chandler Parsons to Dallas -- 21.4%
3. Afflalo-Fournier trade -- 7.1%
Pau Gasol to Chicago -- 7.1%
Love-Wiggins trade -- 7.1%
Lance Stephenson to Charlotte -- 7.1%
Also receiving votes: Carmelo Anthony staying in New York; Isaiah Thomas to Phoenix

Which head coach is the best manager/motivator of people?
1. Gregg Popovich, San Antonio -- 57.1%
2. Doc Rivers, L.A. Clippers -- 35.7%
Also receiving votes: Steve Clifford, Charlotte; Tom Thibodeau, Chicago
Last year: Gregg Popovich -- 51.7%

and that's it.

Only one I have a beef with is that Washington is not a clear-cut favorite to win the division. I'm sure a lot of GMs voted us 2nd behind them though.
