He's never going to live up to the insane hype, but Oden will be a very good player.

Basically, he's the Reggie Bush of big men.

Kawakami Interview with Tolbert

Actually not that bad of an interview. (About Riley, Cohan, Rowell, Mullin)

I'm almost hesitant to listen to Kawacrappy, but I guess I'll give it a shot.

It's a farcry from the garbanzo beans he puts out on his blog I can assure you that.

Warriors Now Have Lowest Paid GM in NBA

Larry Riley is making between $700k-$800k per season, according to a report from the Mercury News.

The average salary of an NBA general manager is approximately $1.5 million and the previous low salary belonged to Sam Presti at approximately $900k.

Chris Mullin, Golden State's previous general manager, was making around $1.5 million.

lmao.

But Tyson Chandler? The Hornets should be willing as long as the Mavs agree to shoulder Peja Stojakovic's contract, too. Chandler would give the Mavs an athletic shot blocker, not to mention an easy four or five assists a night for Kidd. The Mavs should be thinking of ways to retrofit this club to best serve Kidd's talents. He could use offensive and defensive help at off guard. Golden State's Stephen Jackson might be had in exchange for Josh Howard, a Don Nelson favorite. With Chandler and Jackson, the Mavs would be significantly better defensively and offensively. Of course, if you take away Howard, you create another hole, but it's a risk the Mavs may be willing to take. Dallas Morning News

Jack for Howard? Let me think about it....


Yes.

Is the draft here yet????

C'mon down Brandon Jennings!

Before I state an opinion, can we compare their contract terms?

Jax just re-upped at $10M a season (yuck!). What's Josh's contract lookin like?

Josh Howard has one year left on his deal at $11M.

And the year after that, he has a team option.

So basically Howard is an expiring contract next season.

So the NBA Live '10 Warriors roster for today would look like....

Biedrins, Wright, Belinelli for Bosh

Stack Jack for Howard

Draft Tyreke Evans/Brandon Jennings at 7

PG: Tyreke/Brandon, CJ Disaster
SG: Monta, Morrow
SF: Howard, Biceps
PF: Randolph, Bad Porn (only cuz Nelly says so)
C: Bosh, Turiaf

Is this team playoff bound? I completely forgot about Crawful...hopefully he gets some bad info about a team wanting to sign him long-term.

I dont think they would be a playoff team in the tough Western Conference. Jennings and Monta would just be abused trying to guard anyone. If Evans is the pick instead of Jennings I think we would have a much better chance.

Good trades though and I would do that for Bosh IF he signed long term.

Get rid of Bad Porn in a third trade, and that would be the dream offseason.
