The Suns get their man after all Dragic is coming to the NBA after a buyout was arranged. Kind of player I wish the Magic could have gotten in the second round he is going to a wonderful PG in the near future.

Re: The (Around the League) Offseason Thread
I dont know how serious it is, but I hear that the Heat are interested in Darko and have spoken to Memphis about him...I wonder if they will swing a deal for Darko and land Lowry or Critt in that deal?
from best to worst back to best again, yea, Riles is a smart guy...

Haha. Whoops.
I must have not copied the link I tried to copy. It was a picture of DeShawn dancing in front of a like video phone/computer camera, for like 4-5 mins lipsynching and dancing to Usher, with one of his buddies in the background with a bandanna over his face (the "Outlaw" look).
The link I pasted must have been the last thing I copied -- a link to an article about O'Melveny & Myers Law Firm.
Really funny video of DeShawn though, if you can find it.

Wow seems like Denver overpays everyone these days. I thought they wanted to slash payroll with the Camby deal but now they pay Smith 8 million a year? That makes no sense.

Re: The (Around the League) Offseason Thread
Wow thats alot of money for a guy that you cant trust and has the emotional maturity of a 10 year old. Also alot of money considering that hardly anyone has capspace left. Who has money left? Memphis? They just drafted Mayo for that position. So Den gives away Camby for nothing just to sign this guy? This is why Denver will never go anywhere. They are either gonna miss the playoffs or be out of the first round quickly.

Geez, I don't get this.
Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Re: The (Around the League) Offseason Thread
I wonder what George Karl thinks about this. If he thought J.R. was tough to handle before...

The Nugs' front office may be looking to keep the players (except Camby of course) and dump the coach. Not a bad decision if you ask me.

This, I agree with. They should have fired Karl -- before they traded Camby. Now they don't have anyone who plays defense on that roster. It's followed the same pattern with Karl. He loses his players and then keeps trying to get them traded. He's already started on Melo, if you listen to all the rumors that he was going to be traded around the draft.
