Rose is horrendous

Why give up Robin Lopez for him?

You desperately are trying to make your team a great one by building around aging stars.
Because you haven't adapted since using the triangle offense in the 90s
Because you desperately want Jeanie Buss and the Lakers to take you back.

Also Rajon Rondos buyout talks are starting to get louder. If I'm the Cavs I'm not sure I'd want him there. I realize that its only for the remainder of the season, but I still think I'd rather take my chances with a lesser guy in hopes that he can fit in better. But they also have taken on supposed problem players and it seems to keep working with Lebron there.

Is Anthony Davis the softest player in the league? I swear that he leaves every other game with some sort of bizarre injury. Whenever he takes a fall he gets up limping/grimacing. It is very very strange.

Hahaha. I heard about that. Not basketball but I'm pretty sure Sammy Sosa hurt himself once sneezing before a game and couldn't play.

I wouldn't say soft since he goes hard to the rim than anyone in the league besides maybe Westbrook or Lebron.

But yeah, something's not right in that Chicago or NOLA water. The kid needs calcium

Spencer Dinwiddie was just the starting point guard for a team that dropped 143 points on their opponent. How about that?

Then again, he was also the only guy that played more than 8 minutes for Brooklyn to have a negative +/- despite the team winning by nearly 30.

I'm thinking it has something to do with him growing so much so late in his teens.

Anyway we can lobby to get KCP in the 3 pt contest?

Feels like he could barely make a cut and at least represent Detroit somehow since he's the only real bright spot.

Its still f* suprises me how ignorant fans are in regards to players development. like if they don't look like Booker does this year or KAT in his rookie year that means he's not a good player or will become one. Yet when you look at a lot of the stars in this league, many of them weren't "that player" until they developed into them. but lets just ignore that.

Joel Anthony is getting a 10 day contract with the Spurs. I get he's a good veteran center, but I'm still surprised he got a gig. Even a small one.

i am not, everytime anthony's number was called while he was here, he was game ready and stays in phenomenal shape. he's a perfect emergency big

Yeah I remember he got burn for us and provided actual spark one time. I literally didn't know he could still get up and catch lobs.

Probably lost some of that now, but he's the textbook definition of a self-starter.

Lebron being critical of the exact roster that he built along with Griffin literally placating to his every whim to construct a roster through being in lux tax and crafty usage of trade exceptions.

Hmm. Yeah you're a top 3 team bud, coming off of a chip, you don't really have that much grounds to whine when other 27 teams are struggling for scraps.

There are times i would have loved to have him on the PIstons, and then there are times I'm honestly thinking "what in the world is wrong with him?"

At least with a guy like Javale McGee you already know that his basketball IQ is poor.
