I just get this feeling that LeBron would go berserk for the last 2 games. EDIT: Same as the guy above me.

The Clippers have got to add someone like Aminu for Philly to agree on the deal.

I don't think it should because it is basically like drawing a foul. The purpose of players flopping is to get a call to go in their favour, not because they want other players to get ejected or whatever. It is up to the ref to decide on whether they are flopping or not.

Dam. Thanks for clarifying.

I like Infamous but I already have LBP. Anyone recommend which one of the other 3 I should get?

I believe CP3 is more loyal to New Orleans than Bosh, LeBron and Melo. Then again, who knows. It's the NBA.

Which Rookie/Rookies will be NBA All Stars? Enes Kanter, Kemba Walker Which rookies will be NBA Bust? Morris twins, Jan Vesely Which rookie will have the most successful career? Enes Kanter. Who are some sleeper picks that have NBA potential in this years draft class? Marshon Brooks, Nolan Smith What Rookie will be starters in the NBA? Too many to name.

The Jazz look likely to take him at #12 though. Also, doesn't the Pacers have Paul George locked at the 2 anyway?

I can't wait to see him join TNT.

Man Utd can use anyone who was in Barca's starting 11.

^ I am quite high on Brooks, I think he can be one heck of a player. I do hope that the T-Wolves-Cavs-Pistons trade go through so that we have a shot at Rip though...out of all the names mentioned above, he would be the best fit.

I actually thought Xavi played better than Messi. 92% passing accuracy from ~120 passes. Crazy.

I want this trade to happen, simply because according to ESPN the Cavs would buy Hamilton out and the Bulls can sign him.

Actually, Heat lost to the Bulls in Game 1 before winning four straight. But I do agree with the importance of Game 1, especially for the Mavs as winning an away game to kick off the series would do wonders for their confidence.

What's so bad about having Crawford? The Celtics need someone to score off the bench and Crawford could be the guy.

Nope.

It's still a successful season for the Bulls despite a terrible series. Gar Forman have some work to do in the offseason though, the team needs a SG like JR Smith, someone who can make tough shots and play defense.

David West would probably get 7-8 mil though. The difference in money isn't as far as I expected, but still.

He should be going. Carl Landry does a similar job to him already, and he is way cheaper.

Wait, what happened to Brian Shaw? I thought the job was his to lose.

I would watch every game of the Clippers just for the number of dunks that would appear if Smith, DeAndre Jordan and Blake were to all play together.

Just the 4th pick and the trade exception for Rudy Gay? No way.

Apparently the acting general manager (Buchanan) was the one who signed Matthews. Nonetheless, Rich Cho is a good GM and he should not be fired if this firing was based on performance. On the bright side, at least this time they didn't ask him to do their draft before firing him.

I was close to finish making my team, but I accidentally closed the window and I can't be bother re-adding the salaries and stuff. However, like you, I also had LeBron, and I had Udonis Haslem on the bench. Now, if this team of mine was to exist, I am sure LeBron would have been demanding 20 mil because he was not going to get much help. Haslem would have also demanded more than 3.5m (which is what he is making right now). Although, to be fair, if a hard cap system was put in place, the salaries of rookies/new free agents should decrease and over time, the average salary of the players would decrease as well. In the short term, however, the teams between lottery regulars and championship contenders are going to suffer, because they would not be able to get any quality players and they can't improve vastly via the draft.

To be fair, Westbrook is not a natural PG. Still, Scott Brooks need to consider playing Maynor at the point in clutch moments and push Westbrook to SG if he is required on the floor. Having Cook won't work if he isn't hitting his shots.
