The Heat need efficient role players who are committed to defense and a team game. Not ball stoppers or guys who need the ball in their hands. If Mike Miller couldn't get it going in Miami, what makes you think VC will? There is 20 minutes MAX available behind Wade and LBJ - sorry, but no one is going to be able to be a consistent spark in that role... your best look is to find someone committed to defense and can stroke it okay... a Raja Bell type is a better pickup than a VC or T-Mac type. The Heat should be chasing big men who will have a role, not wings who will play 10-15 minutes a night in mostly useless time.

Canada basketball is on the rise... ask this question 10 years from now.

Good pickup.

The same organizations [expletive] up over and over and over again.

I hardly notice any of those things, though I rarely use facebook. The most annoying thing girls, and some boys do, to me, is when they talk to each other and act obnoxiously when they are sitting in the same room, or are in the same house. Like post shit to each others walls, even though they are right beside each other.

Like this fit for both sides. T-Mac wouldn't fit in Chicago or Miami, at least not as well as he will in Atlanta. A team like Atlanta can use T-Mac's ball handling abilities at the SF/SG position.

Actually the deal is only 28M guaranteed, get your shit straight. Believe it or not, that is the price you pay for quality bigs, even backup ones.

Getting either Curry, Udoh and Thompson, or Wolves pick+Aminu+Jordan are both equally good offers... can't really go wrong either way, especially if you are dumping a contract along the way. I don't see anyone offering more. Still don't see Paul dealt for a while, no sense in rushing this thing if you are New Orleans.

Honestly, if LA gets either CP3 or D12, it is because the player forced their way there, and that is just pathetic. When teams like LAC and GSW are shopping pieces like Curry and the Wolves pick, and CP3 or D12 are dealt for the pieces LA had, which are extremely mediocre for a team who needs to blow it up, something is plainly wrong. Still not sold that Gordon can't eventually be had for CP3. If NO is asking for Gordon and the Wolves pick, they simply need to smarten up, that is outrageous.

He should easily be able to find work. With a bigger role, not doubt he can contribute to a ton of teams.

Honestly don't see him as a fit on any of those teams outside of the Nets, who have holes everywhere except PG

Well, to walk out of a back to back with 3 out of 4 points, while playing 5 on 9 all game with the stripes both times, guess I can't be too upset.

Honestly, thank God Lupul is okay. We have deserved some of the calls, but they have missed many against us, this officiating, combined with last night, have been absolutely atrocious. And wow, a terrific goal by Matt Frattin.

I honestly just prefer how it is now. I get it for scheduling, but I wish for playoffs the top of the 8 seed system remained, and the best 8 teams from the combined 2 conferences just made it, opposed to the top 4 from each. I would be fine with the top 2 in each of the 4 conferences were automatically awarded home ice or something. Idk, I read somewhere that with this system, LA would have missed the playoffs last year, and that would be absolutely stupid.

It is ridiculous how rock solid Gus has been since I said he wasn't an NHL caliber goalie. Not that I am complaining lol, just funny. Kessel also retakes the scoring lead last night. Tonight is a game we have to win. These tough back to backs against bad teams are games we need to grab.

The Rangers have picked up very few wins against playoff teams. They have won only 4 or 5 games or so against playoff teams.

Would prefer to see them try and get him for 3 years or so, maybe 3/30 or 33M or something... yeah I realize it is more money but it is also a lot less crippling.

Parker would be an awesome usage of any contending teams partial MLE.

Any team can use a dead eye shooter. Don't kid yourselves, players like Kapono are extremely useful, just not at more than a salary 2 million or less.

I feel like Casey will make Demar the first option. I think Bargnani is going to get a real reality check playing under a hard nosed coach (I think at least?) like Casey.

Once ignorant, always ignorant.

It is sounding like dude is making major strides in his game, and putting major work in his game. Of course all we have had to go off of is pickup games and highlight packs, but what are your guys' expectations for Demar this upcoming season? Will he be a 20 point guy and take over as the primary scorer for the Raptors this year? Will he make strides in the areas that are a weakness right now (defense, passing, ball handling, long range shooting) to take that next step and become a premier wing player? What are your expectations for Demar this year, overall? @DeMar_DeRozan DeMar DeRozan 3rd workout of the day. Make 300 3s make 200 free throws... Can't help but love a kid like this.

Just like last years, use it if you want, if not that is cool, but I want a thread for my own reference so I can keep up with how the prospects we are probably going to be looking at in June are doing. Daily Scores Daily Scores/Games (Top 25 Only) Stat Leaders Mock Drafts: NBADraft.net Hoopshype MyNBADraft.com Draft Express Top Prospects: Andre Drummond Anthony Davis Austin Rivers Brad Beal Doron Lamb Harrison Barnes Jared Sullinger James McAdoo Jeremy Lamb John Henson Marquis Teague Michael Kidd Gilchrist Patric Young Perry Jones Quincy Miller Terrence Jones Terrence Ross Thomas Robinson This draft seems awesome. If anyone (looks at BFT) wants to add anything throughout the year, that would be appreciated.

Thank God we only play Boston 2 more times this year.
