I agree man...I might go with Battier over Shane though.

Dude, these are sick as hell. Keep up the good work man.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4379864 That's what I like to see. LMA, you're next!

Dude...badass man. These are going to turn out amazing.

I do not, no. Just asprin when I've got a headache, but nothing subscribed.

Very nice. Definitely looking forward to Portland's skin.

Yeah, seeing as Portland's owner is the richest in the NBA (like 35th in the world or something like that). So I expect LMA to get paid just a tad bit less than Roy, if not the exact same amount.

If I remember correctly (which doesn't mean crap), I could of sworn he stepped up his offensive game greatly along with Brooks when Yao went out against the Lakers. Maybe not since I don't remember that well...

Legacy. We post on another board and he referred me here. Though, I've only known him for about...2-3 months maybe? If that. I didn't post a whole lot on the other board but he's been there for quite sometime.

Even if he has lost a step defensivly, he's still one of the best defenders in the entire NBA hands down. He could start on about 85% of the teams in the league and still be effective. He doesn't really need to be an offensive player, just take his baseline shots when open but in my opinion, he needs to start.

Battier shouldn't have to be the 6th man. He should be starting in my opinion. I realize he's getting up there in age but he's still a premier lock down defender and probably the best in the league. He deserves to be on a team in which he can start. I wouldn't mind seeing him in Portland starting because we could surely use him and give him the playing time he deserves. I'm a Rockets fan, don't get me wrong and I love Battier, I just think they need to trade him if they plan on giving Ariza most of the minutes at the SG/SF spots.

Who else do they have at PF? I know they have Hasheem and Gasol at C, but who really plays PF? Hakim? Might as well start him as he's their best interior scorer.

You gotta feel for Livingston. He had so much potential to be a great PG with the Clipps. I really do hope he makes a great return with the Thunder as a good back up for Westbrook.

Oh, definitely. I read on ESPN as soon as they get Roy figured out, LMA is gonna be targeted next.

This. Gonna try to go without seeing this one.

I don't like this at all. The West gets stronger...Damn.

If I was Battier, I would expect to start. Hopefully for Battier's sake, he gets traded because he should not be coming off the bench at all. I mean, the Rockets traded Rudy Gay for Battier and Gay is slowly but surely becoming a star in the league. Battier will lock down any PG/SG/SF in the league better than anyone in the NBA. Battier needs to be traded if they want Ariza to play a significant role.

Not surprised. 16.5 mil a year...getting paid. But it'll be worth it. It's good to have Paul Allen as the owner.

Joyce DeWitt was freaking hot as hell in the series. It's a good show and I watch it every now and then when there isn't anything else on.

If TMac is healthy, I expect Brooks, TMac, and Battier. No way they bench Battier. He's a premier defender and has a much much better shot than Ariza. I think Ariza will do good but I personally wouldn't start him over Battier.

Me too. And I think I should of been poster of the month...Because...well no, maybe not. For real though, big kudos on POTM. Definitely deserved and in my opinion, should of been unanimous.

Good song. As far as this...damn. Tough break for him. 675k...god damn.

It'll be awesome to prove you wrong when Roy and the Blazers win one sometime in the next 5-7 years. Obviously, in my opinion, Roy is the better player. While I do REALLY like Joe Johnson as I think he's one of the most underrated players in the league, Roy is a better passer and can get to the hoop better than JJ. Though, if I needed someone to hit the game winner, despite Roy getting quite a few game winners last year, I'd put the ball in JJ's hands as he's just a pure shooter and very clutch.

There is no way Portland deals LaMarcus and Outlaw for Amare. I wouldn't do it ever. If Amare were to sit all year long...It'd be the WizardsV2. If they were to trade him, get something good instead of crap that you'll cut later.

At this point in his career, I think it'd be a good opportunity for him.
