Silver is such a stiff. As much as people harp on Stern, at least the guy can crack a joke/smile once in awhile. :lol:

Any idea when Stern steps down?

He's in good health and so far has made the League money. So, my guess is not in the next 5-10 Years.

5-10 years? No way. This is his last CBA negotiation and hes gone. Thats what everyone says no?

Don't know if this has been posted yet, so if posted feel free to lock.

Kyrie separated himself on the national stage last winter. Limited to 11 games his lone season at Duke due to a ligament injury in his right foot, he still managed to establish himself as the nation's best player. He broke down crying in coach Mike Krzyzewski's office when he was informed in December that his season was most likely over, but made a private agreement with the team's trainers to return in 12 weeks. Krzyzewski allowed him to stay home for three weeks around the holidays, but he hurried back, played in the NCAA Tournament and again proved himself ready for the NBA.

Apartment 16J in the brick building at 352 E. 137th St. in the Mitchel Houses, a raggedy stretch of 20-story project units lining Alexander Ave. in the Bronx, is a three-bedroom space, considered the mansion to denizens for its surrounding vistas. To the north stands Yankee Stadium. On a clear night, the Twin Towers were visible to Drederick Irving and his five siblings when they were growing up.

"We shared clothes and took groceries on credit," he says. "At least we had a view."

Adam Silver is a whole lot of awesome, and doesn't have the douchebaggyness of Stern. Everyone loves him because he is a dork.

I think that was the understanding. The next CBA will be Silver and he has been the guy who has instrumental to making the NBA more accessible and global.

The rest of the league deserves to lose the next 3 titles if that happens. If I'm Chicago I take Jackson 28 or 30 just so the Heat don't get him, and he'd be a great fit them anyways.

I just don't get Jackson falling out of the top 20. I had him as like the 10th or 11th best prospect in the draft the last time I made a list. For me he's a guaranteed "top 7 on his team" guy

Come on Pat Riley, bring Reggie Jackson home!

Nice story. I hope Irving and his father are able to enjoy a very special moment come Thursday.

REGGIE JACKSON IN MIAMI would just be purely insane.

Its crazy how we got the Wolves to give us Chalmers for nothing and than we gave them Beasley for nothing hopefully we can make them give us Johnny Flynn for a second round pick or probably send us Darko so we can have 4 of the top 5 draft picks of the 2003 draft loll.

Are there going to be draft day trades this year? That's the most exciting part of the draft, IMO.

Naah, no Trades. They're all just going pick #1-60. :lol:

I meant like player trades - are their any rumors?

Nevermind.... :lol:

Johnny Flynn to Knicks or Raps, and Iggy/Ellis/Kaman rumors are the only read active ones right now. More will surface in the next few Days.

Chad Ford said today that the Kings, Bobcats, and Warriors are possibly looking to move their Picks. NY reportedly wants to jump ahead of Utah for either Jimmer or Klay Thomspon.

Was just posted on the Knicks Board that the Pacers and Knicks have a deal in place to swap Picks IF the Players they want are on the Board. Here:

From the sound of things @thenyknicks have a deal on the table to trade picks w/ @indianapacers depending on whose available.
