Does anyone remember that game from the 21 game season when Gooden lost his head bad in mid play, left the play to go get it and in the mean time it allowed the other team to have a wide open runaway layup which despite being the closest player he didnt attempt to defend it.....good times lol.

here is something else to consider. Otis will be making the drafting decisions

I would not be so sure about that.

If there is any truth to the Dwight deciding the fate of Otis and Stan, I would imagine that the organization are leaning towards keeping them. You would think that if they really were upset with Otis, he would be gone by now; especially after years of mistakes (for example, giving Arenas an extra $20 mil for nothing over just keeping rashard).

I hope that trade rumor with Minny is true, I'm ready for him to go, as well. Been ready.

Who are we getting in MIN? Darko?

When did J-Rich say this?

Someone here posted that he called us "whine and cheese" fans.

@rookiestar, I'm not sure. My best guess would be Beas.

Rigged might not be the right term, but it is next to impossible for small market teams to compete.

Ever hear of The San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons?

Also, Miami is not a big market either.

Sorry man, times have changed. Spurs are on their last legs, they are the last of the great small market teams. Oklahoma just has an 8 year window like the Magic had. Miami is a big market to much of the world disregarding population.[/quote]

I wholeheartedly disagree. Yes, times has changed thanks to the Internet. This whole "big market" crap is overrated. I would say players attitudes have changed more so than anything else, for the worse.

Has this been posted? Was it legit?

Beasley went down with an injury on Monday

I'm not seeing anything about Beasley being injured.

Every player rumored to be traded here gets injured it feels like

Without any other changes, I struggle to see the point of even tryin to make one last attempt of a run at a ring with this current roster. They don't have to be big, dramatic changes, but it's clear that this isn't a ring winnin team.

So if they aint even gonnna bother to try and salvage this sinking ship, may as well blow it up and move on.

Let's take a gamble on Bynum's glass knees for the rest of this season before he puts us in the exact same position next year...

Maybe cuz he suffers from a broken brain. He somehow plays thru it.

I actually kind of am. Bring on the second coming of the heart and hustle team!

When I spoke to Bo Outlaw at All-Star Weekend I told him to tell Alex Martins to bring back Heart & Hustle he commented with "there will never be another Heart & Hustle but they can sure try to copy it"
