At least he'd fill a need. It is what it is. I would look at that move and say you spent 10m for a guy you only want to play 15 minutes a game. When they could have spent 1m.

The only need Lin fills is the, what the **** was his Harvard ass thinking on that play. lol For someone so book smart, he does some really stupid shit on the court.

Absolutely loved the Bulls pick of Bobby Portis. Much needed younger solid player at that spot. Depth for Noah who is hurt a lot plus Taj had surgery. Portis has a high motor and would've been fun to watch with Thibs. So, someone who follow Fred Hoiberg (don't know correct spelling) tell me a little about him and if it's a good move for Chicago? I'm down and have been on Chicagos FO.

Having experienced Byron Scott, it seems like stupid shit is a reflection of the coach. I actually think Lin would do well in a true pick and roll offense and in a situation where people stopped trading him like linsanity and instead paid him and played him like the average player he is.

Cameron Payne is the guy I wanted at 14. He seems to see the court well, and I could see him getting real minutes by the end of the year. Probably needs to put on a few LBs.

[mcaj22]

where are my Jayhawk homers at tell me about this Kelly Oubre guy.

just like the NFL the NBA is a copycat league and Id imagine the Wizards want to run more small ball lineups with Wall-Beal-Oubre-Porter. That is if the kid can even play. Anything to get Nene and his bum knees off the team.

I saw some ESPN bit with Towns earlier this week that had him playing a few random sports and that he seemed like a junkie for anything that involved physical skill. One of them was at a driving range and was really odd seeing a nearly 7 footer swing a driver with a pretty good looking swing. Can't recall how he phrased it but he also made comment about being able to hit FTs because of his skill to do whatever and focusing it with work in a way made me think it was a light jab at Okafor being awful at FTs.

I really don't watch college BB at all but this guy is going to be good.

Enough Wolves for you.

The Heat did VERY WELL for themselves with Winslow at # 10.

Suns poised to re-sign Brandon Knight for big money. Rumor is that means they'll look to shop Eric Bledsoe. Not sure why they'd look to trade a potential star like Bledsoe. A 4 guard rotation of Bledsoe, Knight, Booker and Archie Goodwin is awfully appealing for a building team.

PJ Tucker and TJ Warren as your SF, with the Morris brothers/Brandan Wright (UFA) and Alex Len down low. That's a deep, young and athletic team (not to mention Gerald Green).

No. I want more.

I'll post more Wolves stuff later today. I know that's what you all want, so I don't plan on letting you all down!

Grizzlies looking into trading for Joe Johnson.

I suspect this is more about the Nets floating Johnson's name to generate interest. I don't see any way the Grizz could afford Johnson and his giant contract, even if it is just one year remaining.
