Well I would still built around the center considering he sounds like a taller Dwight. A center like that would be harder to come by than a swingman with that kind of stats.

You just don't pass up on a possibly dominant center over a swingman unless you are able to forecast the future.

Krstic, Kyle Korver, Antoine Wright, Marcus Williams and K-Mart are all good role players in other teams now. Yes they are not stars, but had they gotten more playing time with the Nets (barring Krstic) and had been able to built up a reputation on being a good player then they could have had a larger role with a new team.

2k11 do have a custom soundtrack feature on console right? Because it will be of good use.

Considering the Nets were contenders most of the years you mentioned, the rookies didn't really get much playing time and so, I don't think the lack of quality drafted players is due to Thorn, but because the rookies did not get enough playing time to showcase their talent.

You always build around a center, no question about that.

The Bulls won't trade Brewer considering they just signed him I would be more than glad to give up a first round pick for Rudy though.

NBA Elite 11 Preview just came out as well: Link The screenshots don't thrill me and apparently it needs a bit work before it gets released.

The Lakers are stacked if they sign West. Not a big fan of the signing though, if he can't snap out of his emotional funk then he will be more trouble than useful.

Comparing player to player, I think that although Love's stats may look better now, Mayo can still be something special and in like 2-3 years, this wouldn't even be a fair comparsion.

Weems unless the Raptors really want to make the playoffs and feel they can make the playoffs. Obviously Kleiza is a better player at this point but developing Weems is not a bad idea.

At the start of the season Favors should come off the bench, I don't think he is ready to start yet.

2k11 for me. Elite 11 seems kind of weird to me...they are trying to get serious but now when a basic jumper requires a lot of hard work means they might be going a bit overboard.

Free Mason - Rick Ross

What the Knicks need is someone who can excite the crowd. Given how high Brown can jump, he can do that no doubt. I am sure the Knicks fans don't ask for more than that. If they do, just go start Azubuike instead.

In terms of who is a better player, Amare is. He is more explosive, more offensive and would be a great player to play with. Boozer is more of the complimentary PF that does the little things, but Amare is better.

I am going with New York because of CP3. He doesn't require the ball too much and his passing makes other players a lot better. Just a simple pick and roll with Amare and two points would quickly follow.

Jazz against the Cavs for me. Sundiata Gaines' game-winner is the greatest game winning moment I have witnessed live on television. (Yeah I admit I haven't seen many NBA games in full )

Federer, at his peak, is unstoppable. Proof?: 16 Grand Slams, Career Grand Slam and a record of reaching the semi-finals or better of 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments over five and a half years from 2004 Wimbledon Championships – 2010 Australian Open. Nadal may be GOAT in terms of clay court, but any other court and he's not even close to Federer.

I thought Crash should have been picked, same for Mayo. I am surprised the folks picked Jeff Green and Eric Gordon over those 2.

I don't see any team signing AI or T-Mac, Shaq will go to the Hawks because no other team would offer him a contract.

Getting Hedo, Warrick and Childress to add depth is nice, but it only evens out the loss of Amare.

These rumors don't come out of nothing. It is pretty clear that he has an intention to leave, it's just that the Hornets won't let him.

^ I thought Mason Jr. resigned with the Spurs. Anyway, I like the idea of Rudy Fernandez in Chicago. We don't particularly need him to contribute 15 points per game but he is certainly capable of doing so.
