Davis I hope for their sake. I don't think Davis survives in the league as a center. They picked up Robin Lopez, so imo their most well-balanced lineup is starting him at center. But I can't imagine a team pays a guy $9 mill a year to come off the bench. So it'll probably be Anderson and Davis in the front court.

No doubt they will be getting Davis on a workout program and develop him as a center.

keying on ryan? as in having 1 player stand close to anderson? they did nothing to take him out of the game, they just kept their power forward home

come on now, Ryan was moving, and slashing to get an open shot, jeez, make it seem like he sat in one spot the whole game...

i dont remember him slashing and moving to get himself open.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Y! Sources: Spurs executive Dennis Lindsey working to finalize an agreement with Utah to take over as GM. http://t.co/lJ72GiTh

He was a finalist for us and is now getting a nice gig up in Utah. The only one without a job was the one listed as the finalist for the Magic job by everyone, Jeff Bower.

You know what the more i thought about it the more pissed i got lol....Dwight is a douche for not wanting to attend the camp for the kids....sure he can laugh it up and have a grand ole time at a dodgers game but can't attend something for a good cause when all he really has to do is just show up? Dwight's character is really disappointing man....is this version of Dwight we're seeing now who he always was?

patience man. I would love for moves to be made too but the next big move determines the road this club will travel down for the next 5+ years. We need to make the right move not a quick (put us out of our misery), irrational move.

Patience is definitely key. This move will define Hennigan's career, as someone else mentioned.

Fake, only cares about outward appearances, mental-midget? yeah. That has always been Dwight. Don't get too upset about it, he didn't hurt anyone. You don't have to like him. I personally don't hate him. Have too many other real things to be too upset about it.

Be prepared to be scrutinized even more. I'm just posting this as news, I don't want no "gay marriage" debate as they're doing on the general board.

Well, if this boycott goes as successfully as the Chik-Fil-A one did then Amway should be acquiring Apple any day now.

^ I've been super busy with work the last few weeks. What exactly has been going on with Chik-fil-a thing (I heard about the owner being apposed to gay marriage, duh)? Have there been serious protests and boycotts?

WOW!!! This gay agenda thing is going way too far. If you don't agree with there lifestyle its considered hate. I understand if there were spreading hatetred but just because somebody has different views than yours you don't deserve to be scrutinize.

Nobody is allowed to hate or dislike anything these days. That's how it is.

Anyway, NBA power rankings up on NBA.com:
http://www.nba.com/2012/news/powerrankings/08/06/midsummer/index.html?cid=nba_12_twitter_L

16 Orlando (37-29)
Pace: 91.2 (29), Off: 102.4 (14), Def: 101.7 (14)
It will be another month and a half before there's real urgency in the Dwight Howard saga. That's when Rob Hennigan will face the possibility of having a grumpy Howard in training camp and in the locker room with his new coach and teammates. Or maybe he'll just ask Howard to stay home until a deal is made.

Please no, that's not how it needs to end. That would just be ugly. It'll be like Kaman, tell Dwight to stay at home, then no trades pop up and we ask him to come back and audition his back and it drags on till February.
