Real Deal

We won't get both Miller and Blake, though. Would be nice...but the MLE is too small for that, unfortunately. But getting Blake, then signing Bell to the vet's minimum...or getting Mike, then looking at a cheap FA point...I don't know. I'm really liking the activity here.

I'm not sure if some realize how significant this is, especially in the triangle. He will kill teams. Ariza was a problem, sometimes, and even guys like Devean George and Brian Cook could hit those open shots...but Mike Miller? Right now, he's #1 on my FA list for us.

:o Please take it, Mike.

Yep, because Farmar has the potential to be the best guard in NBA history, and he wants to lead a three-peat on his own. What's one more ring when you already have two, right?

I don't know, dude. Sasha Vujacic is a pest on defense...not a good defender, but just someone who annoys the life out of you. Varejao put up some impressive defensive numbers (opponent eFG% and such). As far as Baby's play in the Finals...can't say he was that big for them. He shot 46% for the series (which isn't great for his size), shot UNDER 44% for the season, and had some pretty bad games in 2010. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/glen_davis/game_by_game_stats.html He dominated Lamar Odom all series, but I really don't know if that's saying a lot. There's a reason why fans call him Odumb.

I have to go with Varejao as well. Davis can't defend, and he's about as consistent on offense as Lamar Odom (you already know what that means). Varejao's best offensive game isn't going to be better than Davis' best, but Anderson is a much better defender, and he's not out of control on offense.

Yes sir. Perfect, since we aren't getting Hinrich.

If the Wolves get Lee, they would need to start him at the five. He's not a power forward...don't know why, exactly, but he just seems to play better at center (and I'm sure statistics would prove it). Also a better defender at the five, although he's still horrible. Darko could just sit and sulk. He's not a legit starter to begin with.

Haha, close...I forgot about that. He dropped 48 points and pulled down 16 rebounds in Game 4 (close-out game) against the Kings. Funny enough, that 15 he pulled down against Boston is the second most he's had in his career, regular season or playoffs...and he's gotten 15 two other times. Old Kobe, with the bad knees. I'm pretty sure they already gave the 2011 MVP to LeBron, also. Just saying.

Haha to be honest, that would be sick. Good to hear he's back. Best news yet.

He dropped 30+ points in 11 of 12 playoff games after getting that knee drained, locked down Westbrook, set a career playoff high in assists in a game and probably one in rebounds as well (had 15 boards in Game 7 vs. Boston, that may have been a career high). If he's already out of his prime, those are pretty scary numbers.

Averages out to be around $16 million a season. Way too much money. But then again, compared to everyone else, I guess not.

Sorry Indiana, a one-year deal isn't going to get it done.

Truthfully, this trade would suck for a lot of West teams, assuming Yao stays healthy all season long. A scoring post, an offensive high post, slashers and shooters? Gonna be an ugly battle to snag a top four seed.

I'm going to go a different route and say moving him will be best for the team. There's really no telling who they can get (Chicago could deal Deng to the Wolves), but the bigger picture is that Wesley Johnson will be running the show in Minnesota, not Al Jefferson. Maybe that's why Jefferson wants out...which is funny. Does he really think he's a legit franchise player? C - Darko Milicic PF - Kevin Love SF - Wesley Johnson SG - Corey Brewer PG - Jonny Flynn A year later, they will more than likely have Ricky Rubio.

That doesn't make sense. Teams receive MLE's to spend when they are over the cap. Just because Boston knocks $6 million off of their payroll doesn't mean they can spend that money like it's the MLE.
