Damn, Nets get Reggie Evans at 3 yrs 5 mln for a future 2nd rd pick? I would have done that for the Cats.

With the cap to fill the Nets bench with, we should make sure they will sign a proven NBA player Cory Higgins thus taking him from out hands. There is have to be more than starting lineup in Brooklyn, what is the rule? 12? 13?

D-Will chose the Nets.

I had been fantasizing about Dirk, Deron, and Dwight in Dallas for months. :(

Good piece for a them, would fit well with the scoring of JLO, JJ and Willy. Adds some much needed toughness and rebounding to give Crash some help.

All Boris had to do was stand near Wallace. Boris's fat ass pretty much blocked Gerald from view when Boris was blocking out.

But he also had a solid rebounding centre to share the load with. Frankencenter was ugly but it wasn't afraid to get amongst it on defence and boards. JLO can play the Diaw role on the Nets.

Dragic getting 4 years 30 million was a solid signing for Phoenix.

HOU offering Jeremy Lin 4 yr deal backloaded the way their deal to Asik is. 5mln, 5mln, 10 mln, 10 mln.

Lin is one of the most valuable assets in the NBA. Any team, Cats included, should be willing to offer LIn the deal HOU is, and it'd be pure stupidity for NY not to match.

Meanwhile, is it me or has HOU become really annoying? Doing these backloaded deals to steal players like Asik and Lin is smart but annoying. Stockpiling players in the draft - how the heck is a supertalented guy like Royce White even gonna find playing time on this roster? I just wish they would cut it out.

I am kind of OK with it. Nobody pressures GMs not to use frontloaded contracts.

Twitter Fight! Doug Gottlieb vs Kendal Marshall's dad:

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

And to UNC fans,Suns clearly have Kendall Marshall slated as a backup now,that is bad news as backups are usually scorers # can'tguard


Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ GottliebShow this dude sound like a real analyst to y'all??? Been wrong a whole lot lately. # clown

Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ GottliebShow notorious UNC hater. U mad because others made it where you couldn't hack it. U continue to take shots.


Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

@ hugetarheelfan Nash can score,did not excel in league until he went to Dallas-got his own team-Kendall can't score-

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

@ Tigerstyle1972 right,like when I said UNC could get to final 4 w/o Kendall,best team w/him- # clearlyahater



Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ hugetarheelfan @ GottliebShow he blasted Marshall on ESPN before the draft and then he goes in the lottery. Him and his boy

Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ GottliebShow Will always remember your words. Kendall isn't even good enough to be a back up in the NBA...

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

@ Tigerstyle1972 not what I said-Back ups in NBA pick up 94'-change tempo-he will struggle to be gr8 in limited minutes against elite ath

Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ GottliebShow Guess you missed the second half of last college basketball season. Difference between can't score and not having to score.

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

@ Tigerstyle1972 backup PGs in the west-Bledsoe,OJ Mayo,Dragic,Jimmer to name a few- and where exactly were the mistakes?

Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ GottliebShow @ noahsdad39 He's a "college analyst". Not NBA. He's never been at that level. He doesn't know.

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

@ Tigerstyle1972 but what do I know about being an elite passing point who can't score

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

1-safety net 2-good question“ @ noahsdad39: @ GottliebShow why take a back up PG with the 12th pick in the draft??”

Dennis Marshall MHA ‏ @ Tigerstyle1972

@ GottliebShow Averaged over 14ppg and shot almost 50% from three the last 10 games. Doesn't sound like someone who can't score to me.

Doug Gottlieb ‏ @ GottliebShow

@ Tigerstyle1972 i watched every game- NC State game was impressive- I stand by my analysis

Man, it's gotta be rough being a Knicks' fan.

"We're gonna get Nash!"
Lakers get Nash.
"We're gonna get Felton! Back! WTH!?!?
