I like it for the Bucks. Gives Brandon some help in the backcourt while getting rid of SJax. Turning an oft-injured Bogut and a headcase in Jackson into Ellis and Udoh is great for the Bucks. Hopefully Udoh can develop as well as Sanders because they are going to be thin across the frontline initially.

I still have fingers crossed the the Magic ship Dwight to NJ. One less team in front of the Pacers and it makes the Nets gut their team to get him instead of possibly signing him and resigning Lopez. A team of DWill, Brooks, Lopez, Howard, Morrow, Gerald Green if he continues to grow, could be a menace to Chicago and Miami coming out of the East.

awesome double OT game between the lakers and grizzlies!

i like the trade for the bucks as well, udoh can be a good backup for gooden/ilyasova. with bogut injured for the rest of the season i guess that means the warriors have pretty much folded and are just trying to get ready for next year

its a good trade for us, good to get rid of jacksons contract and its not like he was wanted much here anyways. the trade isnt going to have much effect until next year most likely, if we can improve our frontcourt in the offseason theres a possibility our team could be strong

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

they're still capable of making the playoffs. Bucks and Knicks have the same record. Bucks have a easier schedule though, so we'll see.

If Monta doesnt implode, the Bucks will easily beat the Knicks. (They already beat them twice in NY w/o Bogut anyway)

What a turn of events in New York...d'Antoni pulls coaching move of the century in playing Lin and a month later is no longer the head coach. Wow.

Agreed with this.

Quote:
 
The Dwight Howard sweepstakes will be in full motion over the next few days and I believe Otis Smith is thinking of ways to keep Howard rather than moving him somewhere else.

Why?
Because they will lose no matter who they acquire in return. Superstars can't be replaced. Howard not only scores, but he rebounds and defends. He is basically three above average players rolled up in one.
This is Shaquille O’Neal all over again and it’s sad and disappointing because it’s not like playing in Orlando is dreadful.

Orlando has been a consistent winner. It is a wonderful city, which means it’s a destination for free agents. They have solid ownership and one of the best arenas in the world. It is a great place to raise kids. I mean, what kid would not want to grow up in Mickey’s backyard?

I continue to remind players the rainbow is not always brighter on the other side. The fans and city you want to leave know your positives and weaknesses and have learned to live with them.

Take Carmelo Anthony, for example. He longed to go back home to New York to cheers and applause and now those cheers are turning to doubt and boos because the fans only focused in on his offensive numbers and game-winning shots from afar, but now are looking at his defensive effort and volume shooting. Jeremy Lin, an unknown player from Harvard not long ago, excites the masses more than Melo. That would have never happened in Denver because his foundation and body of work was too deep.

Howard has to realize wherever he goes he needs help. He is only a dominant scorer if he has shooters and a decent point guard who have acclimated themselves around him. And even then, it does not guarantee a shot to win a championship because he has that scenario currently in Orlando.

Why does he think changing teams is going to allow him a different scenario in regards to winning a title? Hmm... Maybe it's not about a championship... Maybe it is about getting to a bigger, brighter city to enhance of-the-court credibility?

If so, Howard will fail regardless of where he goes. LeBron James has caught a lot of flak for leaving Cleveland, but he did it as a free man. He didn't make trade demands during the course of the season. He went out and won 60-plus games. Then he decided to spurn the bright lights of New York and Chicago and join a team that made it to the Finals. That was his goal. Howard, on the other hand, seems focused on the bright lights. How's that working for Melo?

Howard is looking at his peers move around and venture into new situations, but none of them have had a smooth transition other than Chris Paul... and the jury is still out on that move.

Howard should realize he will not do any better going somewhere else. Regardless of how he gets to the next team, he will lose ground in two areas immediately.
If it's via trade, the team he is joining will have to give up good players to get the deal done. Plus he will lose financially because Orlando can pay the most money.
So why not stay in Orlando and allow Otis Smith to get the best possible players around you and gain respect and attention as being the player that stayed the course with an organization that has supported you since your arrival?

This to me is much more attention-grabbing than making a splurge into another city. That will ramp up expectations you might not be able to live up to.

Quite honestly, when you only shoot 57 percent from the free-throw line you are not the go-to player on your team in the last two minutes. That by itself will alienate new fans in ways your Orlando supporters have learned to live with.

Howard should re-sign with Orlando and get under Shaq's skin even more. He has complained that he is the original Superman and not you. Well, if you stay and bring a championship to Orlando in the near future you will claim the title as Superman because you would have done something he couldn’t do.

Howard to Pacers for Lou Amundson apparently was sent to the League after the deadline.

people under estimate how monstrous this dunk was, i had to get up off the coach and just walk outside i couldn't believe i saw that lol

but i had the privileged of watching green in high school... yet another player that if went to college for 1-2 years would be a monster in the league right now.

edit: like i could imagine dunking... but looking down at the hoop while dunking.... INCREDIBLE
