http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/225249/Nets_Make_Phil_Jackson_Top_Target

Avery Johnson fired right after he wins Coach of the Month, . Phils not going there, Prohkorov will probably try to throw 25m at him though.

They should hire Jerry Sloan

Drummond about to eat Miami up inside about 2 hours

Btw, anyone else think Harden is the best SG in the a league atm? What he's doing with an average group of players with the exception of Omer Asik and an extremely inconsistent/raw Lin/Parsons is remarkable.

Just saw the highlights of his 17 points in the 4th quarter. It's amazing how easily he gets to the rim, almost LBJ-esque.


I know people think its Kobe but his numbers this season have just been empty in my eyes. He doesn't have the ability to elevate his teammates game despite playing on a team with 5, maybe 6 future HOF's and he hasn't played a lick of defense since like 2002 when he was a beast on that side of the court.

Wade is done as we already know.

Nash - HOF
Kobe - HOF
Howard - HOF

Err.....who else is a HOF on this team please? Gasol? That's quite a stretch but I'll give him a MAYBE. Who are the other 2 HOF'ers? World Peace & Antwan Jamison? Gil pls

This a joke? Gasol is an obvious HOF. ROY, multiple time all star, International basketball legend, robbed of FMVP in '10 etc etc

Artest will make the HOF as well, DPOY, multiple time all star and bailed out Kobe in Game 7 of the 2010 finals.

"Wade is done as we already know" - yeah, that's why he's been shooting over 64% for the past 7-9 games.

Anyone can put up those numbers playing alongside LeBron & Bosh in the suckfest that is the Eastern Conference. Not sure their schedule wasn't particularly difficult in that time period either tbh. Call me when he does that against the elite teams.

Still a solid player obviously but no longer elite.

No chance. Only coaches stacked teams.

I hear Eric Gordon might come back tomorrow lol. It will be interesting to see how New Orleans develop.

I like Ryan Anderson - I think he's remarkably smart for a jump shooting big and one day could be an all star. They said his stock would drop without Howard but it's on the rise. He needs to get to the line more but his offense is as well developed as you can want from a stretch 4.

I have watched some games and still don't really know much about Davis. He'll be a great rim protector, good pick and roll defender and good rebounder. Probably could be elite offensively in the pick and roll as well.

Gervais Vasquez has impressed me. He's a real floor general and he's unique in a myriad of ways. He's big , he rebounds well, and he understands the point guard role. Could definitely see him as a long term starter.

Gordon can make some shots. Austin Rivers Can't. He can also defend, Austin Rivers Can't.

Lopez is his brother without the great scoring arsenal. Still mobile, gives a little more, can be developed into a good defender.

The Clippers are on a 15 game win streak. The only 'good' team they've played in that period are the Nuggets. And MAYBE the Celtics(who have been beyond poor this season) but no, let's call it worthless. Afterall they were beating on scrubs weren't they? Or don't you have to play what's put in front of you? No? Okay. And btw, Wade against OKC = 21pts on 8-17 FG 5rebs/3ast with a +10(surpassed only by Lebron who had +13) in a team where Lebron clearly runs the show.

I have to marvel at this flip flopping. First he's washed up and done for not putting up huge numbers but then his performances become worthless for putting up huge numbers in a team where Lebron DOMINATES the ball and Bosh/Allen get a fair share of shots as well.

"Anyone can put up those numbers" oh really? I bet Lebron wished he had someone to put up those numbers when he was in Cleveland. He'd probably still be there by now.

"Gasol is an obvious HOF" how so? ROY doesn't automatically make you a HOF. Mike Miller was a ROY. Is he a HOF? Chris Webber is a 5 time All Star, is he a HOF? And I doubt anyone would consider he was 'robbed of FMVP' if they're putting HOF ballots into consideration. That's clearly just YOUR opinion.

Winning DPOY once doesn't guarantee you entry into the HOF as well. Only special cases(like Howard who's won it 3 straight times) can have a strong case. Its not like the MVP award which guarantees you a place automatically(all MVPs eventually get into the HOF).

Dunno what you're on about Artest HOF ffs This is new

And who's the 6th so-called HOF in that Lakers team? Would make a good laugh

Artest a hall of famer?

Bobby Jones, Artis Gilmore and Bernard King arent but Artest is? Good grief.


Gil, I was serious. This is a nice thread, one of the ones which dont give me a headache, stop the nonesense please.

DeMarcos Cousins for Bradley and stuff (Bass, Melo IDK)?

Would you do it dmize?

Missed Wade in this game and the Pistons went crazy from 3. 14 threes, was it? On to the next game. Need to get some sleep.

The Franchise wrote:DeMarcos Cousins for Bradley and stuff (Bass, Melo IDK)?

Yeah I would. Preferably I would like it to be either Sullinger or Bradley and not both.

Miami was up like 15 until Drummond came in the game and the Pistons bench went on a 14-0 run. Back to back double doubles for AD.

edit: KG's one of the few guys that could straighten Cousins out.

Celtics and Pistons are 2 favorites to land Cousins if Sacramento decides to move him.

If the Pistons got him they would have to give up Monroe, which I don't think make sense at all. Monroe/Drummond is better than Cousins/Drummond.


@ Battier getting crossed up by a 7 footer

Dis fool.

He really aint funny, he's an idiot

I know he is trying to be funny, it aint working. We are laughing at you, not with you.

Eric Gordon put up 24 and 7 in his return after a 2 year hiatus. He looked really good I like his game more than Harden's , he's a better shooter and he can play off the ball. He's not as good handling it and creating for himself , but the difference isn't as noticeable as the other way around.

Honets have a nice young nucleus and I like Monty Williams. Maybe they can draft a center this year, don't know who's the highest rated prospect, but yea, I'll be watching them from now.

Goregous.

Rick Adelman the genius

Look at Scola (and Brad Miller) at the center of so much, the C-Webb like hand offs, the smart ball rotation out of the pivots...why did he throw him away again?

Also shout out to the Chuckwagon, Chuck Hayes. Best post defender we had in I cant remember when and a fantastic guy at doing the basics. Outlet passing, handoffs, post passes, rotations, defence positioning.

Anyway, I am fine with the offense right now...its as good as it can be with what we have. Our defence though is painful to watch.

We have the best bench in the entire league. Problem is all 5 of them start.

Lmao. Rockets need to cut this spoiled self absorbed p.o.s. Let him take them to court, he'll lose.

Meet the chick that most NBA players are in love with and come see her on their time off and also while in Toronto, its Toronto's secret weapon, on Sundays we start early games here so most players are dead tired for the game. Her name is ladyluck.
I am not sure if she sleeps with them but she gets them all girls. The reason the Rockets lost in Toronto so bad was because they were all out with her.

rondo and the celtics are so pathetic atm hopefully they can stop cruising already

Lady luck's "lady parts" must be stretched out to hell

She putting in that work.

Taking not 1, not 2, not 3...........all for the team.

When teams come to Toronto, first thing they is go an see her. 2 players that really spend money on her are Jennings and Marion. I have seen Marion with her for years in the clubs and bars. There are rumors Jennings wants to move to Toronto after his contracts ends with the Bucks.

I heard once Rondo came to see her around 2 am looking for girls and weed.

That smile says it all.

“League players have long been hooking up with “Halem’s girls”. Her “services” to the ballers often going beyond bottles.” ~NBA Staffer

“She’s notorious. Even when I played with the New Jersey Nets and the Dallas Mavericks, the word would be to get up with Mona when we get to Toronto.” ~Antoine Wright, Professional Basketball Shooting Guard/ Small Forward

“Ms. Halem may be charming, but she’s pushy. Her goal is to be everybody’s best friend, but she’s not exactly the kind of friend the athletes need.” ~Sports Executive, Toronto Blue Jays

“The popularity of these parties—some athletes say they’ve cancelled appearances and forfeited thousands of dollars in fees to attend them—has made Ms. Halem a known entity throughout sports.” ~Hannah Karp, Wall Street Journal Staff Reporter

I wouldnt be the least bit worried honestly, the C's do this too often to fool me.

Other than KG, they coast through the regular season, make playoffs and in the weak east, likely a top 4 seed and once the real season gets underway the real Boston appears.

How can a team lose 18 games in a row and still have a better record than Washington.

Anyone thinks Raptors have a chance at the playoffs?

Melo is back
