Kwamvp is a free agent. Where does he go? OKC? LA?

I'm pretty sure the sixers cut Darius Morris because he was doing pretty good.

As far as Kwame Brown, is it wrong that (if healthy) I think he'll wind up a Knick?

According to a GM, the Suns will do everything possible this summer to sign Gordon Hayward to an unmatchable offer sheet....

let's just hope he gets off to a good start in that case. he's not a guy who'd handle the boos well.

Coach Jeff Hornacek must have told the Suns front office some great things about Gordon Hayward

Well now we know who NOT to target in a trade...

Hayward would be an amazing fit here, but that sounds like max money.

And hell no to that.

i feel like i have seen every clippers game this season, as they all seem to be on national tv.

It's a good thing that the Clippers don't have Vinny Del Negro to blame for their inconsistencies anymore, because I really was getting tired of that lame excuse

Interesting article for Aussies about Steve Adams

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/basketball/ ... 2xv5f.html

He refers to a controversial cricket match that happened 32 years ago (before he was born)

"They cheated us from winning," Adams, the brother of Olympic gold-medallist shot-putter Valerie Adams, told reporters.
"So from then on it just doesn't matter how nice you are - if you're an Aussie, we're not going to like you.
"I search out Aussies and make it my job to make their lives miserable."

they dont have any defense, Jordan is only considered a good defender because he gets blocks, same for CP3 and steals....might be one of those teams that have to much talent for their own good and that talent doesn't fit together....they have about 4 6th men 1 ball handler, no post players, 2 highlight dunkers and a bunch of bleh defenders

Deandre Jordan is looking seriously improved this year. Blake looks good as well.

I'm just saying that they are what they are, and I was annoyed by the brunt of the blame always being placed on VDN every time they loss

However, the Western Conference is a little bit weaker at the top than it has been in previous years, so they'll have a better shot at the Finals this postseason

There has to be more to the Faried-Shumpert trade that's been tossed around. Denver shouldn't even entertain that.

HornetJail · Post #458 » by **HornetJail** » Fri Nov 22, 2013 7:35 am

There was apparently discussion of sending Anthony Bennett to the D-League.

I was the most anti-Bennett guy on this board (I stand by what I said before the draft- I wouldn't have selected him anywhere in the lottery even in this draft) and I didn't expect him to be this bad. 12 games in, Cavs fans are already booing him. The dude has nearly as many fouls as points, is already falling out of the rotation and is shooting an impressive 13.5/7.7. Those are his percentages. He's shooting 13% from the field on 37 attempts. I literally feel sorry for the dude.

haha, exactly. it seems like every other day national TV shows the Clippers against the Rockets, Thunder or the Warriors. Upon checking their schedule I came to the conclusion that I've seen them five times already.

By the way, did the trio of Marv, Kerr and Charles have great chemistry or what? Great points made by Kerr and Charles on league issues and analysis of teams (although I disagree with their opinion on the Harden trade), the usual legendary play-call of Marv Albert and timely and friendly jokes between the three of them. I laughed at Kerr pointing out that that there's no relation between Nick and Darren Collison way too much.
