It's a shame but this means Dom Jones will get some PT. I've heard good things about him and am looking forward to seeing him play.

That's a very strong front court but someone will definitely be traded if Rasheed returns. The Celtics are a bit weak on the wings IMO and they might make a trade for a Tony Allen-type player.

Although the stats are the same, I would say Evans had a better rookie season as expectations on him were a lot less comparing to LeBron.

I like the analysis but is the salary of the player and predicted PT considered when you make those grades? Hilton Armstrong is crap, but still, he didn't cost the Wizards much and at most he is going to play like 10 mins per game so really it's not so bad of a signing that it deserves a F. Maybe I am just thinking of these like school grades where F and A should be given only at the worst/best things, but I think those are two factors that should have a larger weighting on determining the grade.

Definitely in LA. He played a huge role (if not the largest) in getting Lakers those 3 Championships to start off the decade. 3 Finals MVP in a row should deserve some recognition up in the rafters. Yes, he joined the Celtics. Yes, now Lakers fans are going to hate him. But what he has done in LA should not go unnoticed.

If this is true, they should have pulled the trigger on the Marvin Williams - Shaq trade.

To be honest, having Michael Jordan on the game really influenced my decision to get 2k11 on console this time comparing to getting 2k10 on PC, but I am going with 2K no matter what.

No way are they going to get Gibson. I am not even sure whether a first round pick is worth it now that we got Bogans.

Why would anyone sign him? He wasn't anything special in the NBA and it's not like his stats in China are that good (19 PPG, 6RPG, 6 APG)

Agreed. This might be a great piece of business by Joe Dumars though as if T-Mac can perform well then Dumars can easily package his low salary with Prince/Rip/Charlie V/Ben Gordon's horrible contract.

We only got 12 players under contract so there might still be a chance to get T-Mac.

We just signed Keith Bogans so...I don't think we're getting T-Mac unfortunately.

I am surprised they enquired about George Hill but really, they got pieces for a nice PG. Brandon Rush/Danthay Jones/Mike Dunleavy can all go for a decent PG. If nothing happens, they can always start TJ Ford.

^ Well I don't think he will take Duhon's spot considering Duhon is a pass first PG and Mason is a shooter. He is a good fit in D'Antoni's system though. I like what they are doing, surrounding Amare with nice complementary pieces.

The Knicks must be [expletive]ed in the head if they want Jeffries back after giving up so much to get rid of him.

Just saw a video with Kenny Smith stating that the top 3 players in the NBA currently are: LeBron, Kobe, Kevin Durant. I agree with him right now and I think this is going to be the same ranking after the upcoming season. Just wondering whether anyone of you guys think that the ranking is going to change after the 10-11 season or if you disagree with Smith's ranking.

When Perkins come back.... C: Perkins, Shaq PF: KG, Jermaine O'Neal Big Baby can play either position if any of the 4 above is injured. Honestly, I am afraid of Boston.

If it costs Jeff Green in order for the Thunder to re-sign Russell Westbrook, I believe they will do it. Otherwise, Green is not a bad 3rd or 4th option to have. Like others above me, I would like the Thunder to get a more traditional PF like Paul Millsap and that would give them a greater chance of winning.

No surprises there. This should be a fantastic game.

I like V1 better, although I am definitely not a fan of the text.

He signed a one year contract with Prima Veroli, a second division team ( ) in Italy, according to ESPN. Source

I don't think Jose would be any better than TJ Ford at the Pacers given that both of these players split minutes with Jarrett Jack and that the Pacers' ideal PG would be someone like Tony Parker who can run the floor.

This. I agree with Shaq in this.

I had quite a laugh with this one
