The Shaq trade is great--for anyone who wants to see LeBron leave Cleveland. Why can't people see this fat tubby goon is washed up? He brings nothing to the team that was needed and honestly--continuing to keep Mike Brown as coach makes little sense as well. You have the best open floor weapon in basketball and refuse to surround him with players who can get up and down.

Yeah rooter, I caught that just a few minutes ago. I was talking about Hedu, not Manu.
As for DaJuan, I didn't see the game or any highlights, but I think if you look back at the NBA draft thread, there were quite a few of us who thought that he was the steal of the draft, for where he was taken.
And yes, J-Will is now with the Magic. When I think of Williams, 3 things come to mind:
1. He single-handedly beat Kentucky in Rupp Arena on their senior day to end the regular season. He was incredible that day.
2. My best friend's dad made a comment about him, questioning his attitude/character. Not that there is anything wrong with tatoos inherently, but he said something like, "see all those tatoos? They don't give them out in church." He ended up being correct.
3. Pat Dooley, Gator beat writer for the Gainesville Sun, made this comment after Williams went to the Warriors: "Chris Webber and Jason Williams on the same team ... 'no coach, that's not a towel stuffed under the door.' "

frankly blair is the steal of the draft where he was taken. Dajuan is just a steal.

I disagree. hedu was what made the magic in my opinion. He did a lot of little things for that team. Vince Carter is overrated. I don't like that move for the magic.

Well now, the Spurs ain't so scary when they aren't shooting well  Woo tied for first place! Anyone who thought that Chicago would terribly miss Ben Gordon overestimated the importance of a volume shooting 2 guard. Its also nice to have Deng back |

Not worthy of it's own thread but our old friend Latavious Williams has surfaced in the news again.
"Latavious Williams taken 16th by the Tulsa 66ers - the last pick of the first round of the NBDL."

Anybody but the Lakers. Please, Lord. Hopefully bringing in Chuck Person is a sign that Artest is about to self-destruct.

Can someone explain to me why Brandon Jennings is so good? I don't remember him looking like this before he went to Europe.

It totally surprises me. I pegged him as a diva who was not as good as his hype. I thought he would also be a cancer for any team that drafted him. Right now he appears as if he's on his way to having a special career.

Right now he appears as if he's on his way to having a special career. He wasn't too impressive in Europe, was he? That was just phenomenal last night. 55 points in a game, 29 in a quarter and 10 in two minutes? From a kid playing what, his tenth NBA game? Amazing. |

I was surprised as anyone to see that result from Jennings. He was unquestionably a disgrace in the Burger game.
