[Cleveland @ Milwaukee]

The Bucks are lucky..I wish LeBron would take off against the Blazers.

[Ron goes blonde!]

He thinks he's Dennis Rodman since he's playing with Jordan, I mean Kobe..

[Washington @ Boston]

Damn, I really hope the Wizards can hold on..even though I hate them lol

[Trade With The Best Impact So Far?]

Dallas and Milwaukee, as of right now. The Cavaliers had the best record in the league before the trade, so you can't really measure how much they improved with Jamison's arrival.

 

Oh, the Blazers kept themselves in the playoff race with their trade so they should get a mention.

[Wojo: Portland looking to deal Andre Miller]

Hopefully he can go back to Philly. I think he would be the perfect compliment for A.I. as he plays very similar to Eric Snow and he fits philly's team.

So who would you guys give us for him? I hate him in Portland, but he's a HUGE piece to the Sixers so you guys would have to give us something worthwile..Thaddeus Young?

[The New Orleans Hornets need to rebuild...]

but they won't. Chris Paul needs help, but -- as ironic as this sounds -- he's the very reason they won't get any substantial help.

 

Is it because he's a bad teammate, and other stars don't want to play with him? No.

 

Is it because his salary's so huge that all they can afford to sign are D-league players? Maybe, but there are plenty other undeserved contracts on the roster.

 

The reason is that he makes his teammates play at a level they couldn't otherwise perform at, so management won't make any moves because they're expecting him to bring them to the promised land with starters who'd have difficulty playing more than 8 minutes on deeper teams.

 

Mo Peterson? Past his prime, and was never that spectacular to begin with.

 

Peja? Past his prime, and isn't going to wake up the player he was in Sacramento.

 

Julian Wright? He's actually pretty good, but is only one player.

 

All of these players have moments that they wouldn't have anywhere else because of CP3's excellence. He scores 20+ a game, and still has the responsibility of spoon-feeding an entire team while getting more than one steal a game. Don't forget that he's the best rebounding guard since Jason Kidd (Maybe Rajon Rondo's tied for that title, but he's not doing what Paul does overall). That's a MORE than arduous task for a point guard that's barely 6 feet tall in sneakers, but he does it. EVERY night, he performs a near-Herculean job that makes the incompetence of his teammates look less pathetic than it is. He even developed his 3-point shot over the off-season to offset Peja's everlasting cold-streak. Management may see the role players as less-than-satisfactory, but while CP3's winning them 45+ games a season..they're happy. Nobody wants to see Chris Paul unhappy in New Orleans, as he's the face of the franchise and DESERVES to win..but it may be exactly what the team needs. If this current Hornets team has a horrible season, it may convince the brass that Chris Paul needs help out there. More than David West, and the offensive dwarfs on the roster now. Maybe the best thing for this franchise is to lose..

[Who will be the Bucks leading scorer?]

Bogut, maybe? I don't think it matters much, but just for a prediction I'd go with him or Jennings if Redd doesn't come back to perform full-strength..

[If it's not LeBron...]

I'd go with Amare Stoudemire. I wouldn't want a swingman (if we couldn't get LeBron), because then we'd have to do too much roster shuffling which would make chemistry building even harder for next season. I wouldn't want Boozer because he's not loyal, and (for a reason I can't put my finger on) I don't think he'd mesh with the rest of the team. So yeah, I'd go with Stoudemire..

[Grizzlies Do Weekly Checks Of Marcus Williams' Body Fat, Weight]

I hope this works out, he's always been one of my favorite prospects so I hope he can finally latch on with a team..

[We Need to Fix This...]

I'm a relatively new Bucks fan because my brother's in WI for college (3rd year now) and I like Brandon Jennings (no homo) , honestly I don't see much wrong with what they're doing now. Jennings is going to be better than expected, Redd..is Redd, Moute and Alexander will man the 3, as will Ilyasova and Warrick, and Bogut has the five. If they're to make any moves now, it should be to improve at the 3-4 position because realistically Michael Redd isn't going anywhere. An Austin Daye - Lamar Odom type player is exactly what they need to go from being a 35-40 win team to improving..

[Oden seeks bigger role with Blazers]

Well Joel's old, so if Greg can prove that he's ready..let's get it!

[Livingston Says His Knee Is Close To 100%]

He plays with a fear that I don't think he'll ever completely eradicate, but if he can at least become a shell of his former self he'll serve a purpose behind Westbrook..

[Blazers' Batum blossoms on France's national team]

Hopefully he comes back with a little more swagger in Portland. He'll need it, with Martell scheduled to return..

[Wizards sit 9th in the recent power rankings]

I was shocked that we were so high, but when I looked at where they ranked us in the East it made a bit more sense..

AGENT ZERO's BACK, BABY!

[Blazers sign draft pick Dante Cunningham]

I'd rather they sign Patty Mills, but I guess he's more of a necessity..
