Like Cousins bad or Bargnani bad?

Well, considering it's already pretty safe to say that the Bucks want to sign Knight long term, I would say that is still going to be the case in a few days.

In that one game he played?

Did you really think I wasn't referring to his college career?

Knight has improved a lot but he is one year removed from being an epic tank commander.

I dunno, I just thought that was a weird thing to say considering we drafted Jabari Parker. :-?

I think we all know Larry Drew was the true tank commander last year.

Larry Sanders was one summer league removed from nearly getting cut to being handed a $44M extension.

So no new tweets or "insider" info around here? I feel like a cat waiting for someone to shine a laser pointer at the wall...

That is the perfect description of this years trade deadline.

For a lot of NBA writers today is all star travel day back home. And with no games tonight, tomorrow or Wednesday, these guys won't be at the arenas jawing it up with their "sources". Twitter is quiet.

I don't know how you trade Middleton for Gibson then finish with own the future. I'm not buying that all all.

11 player trade?

I'll take "Unrealistic Trades" for $600, Alex.

No thank you. I'd rather not trade for a post that can't defend and plays the same position as Giannis/Parker. And while I'd love Taj, it's not exactly an "own the future" move when it costs you Khris/Henson. Plus I don't like the idea of him logging serious minutes at the 5 next year.

I also find this extremely unlikely seeing how most seem to think they'll keep this group of guys together for chemistry purposes that they ship off SIX players.

Don't think Lakers trade Randle unless Giannis is the return.

Jimmer was a top ten pick.

Yeah that makes sense. Didn't really take that into consideration. I sure hope the ball gets rolling here soon though. I'm dying for something excited. Although Norris Cole and Danny Granger will kill my excitement if that's the "big haul". I'll be optimistic but highly skeptical and rather disappointed. I'm in a glass case of emotions right now lol.
