Wow, we really got lucky with J Rich then I'd say. J Rich is better overall for our team than Crawford would be and J Rich has games under his belt in our system. Crawford just wants to be overpaid. Glad we chose J Rich over trying for Crawford.

He is ideal and you hate that. Again you have not statistical evidence to prove anything you say except for your biased, hatred. I know, I hate big baby the same way.


get off his nuts,

What !? :lol:
All I asked for was some evidence to what you're saying stop try to act tough dude. Jameer isn't a 2nd option...because isn't a really reason. If you had legitimate knowledge as to why I may listen. There is absolutely nothing I can find indicating he wouldnt be a reliable 2nd option. You sound like me when talking about Glen but at least I have the sack to admit that my hatred for him is factless and just me being a hater. What Jameer could possibly do warrant so much hate is beyond me.

really good interview from JRich

"Aaron Gordon will cost Henny's job by Dec 2016." Predicted Dec 2014.

"O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson." Predicted Jun 2012. Verified on Dec 2014.

Denver has requisite room through mega Melo trade exception to add players like Rudy F/Brewer before futures of Nene and Afflalo resolved

It was on the radio and really nothing significant to report about. just a lot of positivity and good energy.

To those who didn't like the Davis trade:
After practice ended, and the team huddled at midcourt, Davis gave the rookies a homework assignment. Davis told them to look up the definition of “family” in the dictionary and be prepared to make a presentation to the team about the meaning of the word Wednesday. “It’s to basically to get it into everybody’s mind what ‘family’ means,” Davis said. “We’ve got to start walking the way for the family atmosphere and trying to change the culture here and making sure that we’re there for each other.”

If Dwight stays, I have a feeling Davis will be one of the reasons. I'm liking this guy more and more by the day. We know he has heart, I hope he plays well next to a superstar like Dwight.

I notice in the absence of good rumors or movement we tend to get a little antsy and start bickering. Hoping we reel in a backup center tonight.

This guy and Alex Martins are the ticket to Dwight staying for years and years to come. I watched a interview of Dwight and Billups talking to each other, and Dwight admired how Billups brought everyone together and made the team feel like family, and how important an on and off court relationship was. Sounds like Davis is trying to bring that to Orlando.

Denver gets two quality wing players at low cost by taking Rudy F & Brewer into sizable trade exception. Mavs opt for this move because ...

As much as they liked Brewer, Mavs' thinking is they can now sign two more vets on one-year deals while opening up a little more 2012 space

F/C Josh McRoberts is reportedly on the verge of signing with the Lakers. Solid signing for them

^ I have a hard time with what Dallas is doing, imagine the fans you win last year and are basically blowing up the team for a shot at a few FAs next season? Wonder what Dirk thinks seeing all the BB miles he already has and his window closing on him.

Mavs now have enough to add a max contract next summer.
