Well considering that I was willing to resign Ron to a $30 million 3 year deal and you guys got him for the MLE and then won a championship, yeah it was definitely worth it.

There were three big reasons why Houston took Marcus Morris. 1) Post play (we need someone besides Scola who can take over in the post) 2) Versatility (tweener) 3) Best player available (and according to Richard Justice from the Chron, the Rockets believed he was by far the BPA) And take a look at this: Meaning they don't expect Marcus to magically play like your typical starting small forward, there will be a transition period and he will struggle but down the road the Rockets believe that the 3 will be his best position (this was supposed to be a development season anyways). Marcus already has a decent mid-range shot and he wasn't that bad statistically from the three in college, so I can see it working out. If he can continue to develop his perimeter game a bit then he could be a very deadly player, a wing that can kill you from outside if you give him the space or posting up down low.

Well if there is one thing I'm excited about as an Arsenal fan its Ox, I seriously think that he could the best player in England once he reaches his prime. He's got the right combination of skill, size, strength and speed to that good. As for the game, I'm going to be recording it and will watch it later tomorrow.

What do you guys think of Oxlade-chamberlain? Wenger thinks he can make the English team at just 18 years old. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/969200/oxlade-can-make-euro-2012-squad---wenger?cc=5901

Why is it that every time flu season comes around I'm always the first one to get sick? Ugh and I had an exam this morning today. -_-

Andrew Bogut isn't the same player he was 2 years and Brandon Jennings has proven that he's not a franchise player or even a long term point guard solution. Trade them all. There is bound to be some team willing to give up a decent package to take a chance on Bogut, Stephen Jackson still has a bit of value left in him, and there is surely one or two general managers out there that are still gushing about Jenning's rookie season and 55 point game performance. Will it happen though? Probably not, the Bucks just dealt their lottery pick just to get Jackson in hopes of shooting for the playoffs.

The Wolves just added two potential all-stars next to him and added a Hall of Fame coach. Sure the team has a long way to go but they're heading in the right direction with a solid young foundation. If I'm Love then I'm resigning but for a short term deal (like 3 years) kind of like what Lebron and Wade did, and then see where this team stands when that contract expires.

Word from the Houston camp since draft night is that they want to transform Marcus Morris into a small forward, and both them and Marcus believe it could work out. The starting 3 spot job is WIDE open, Chase Budinger will be the favorite heading into the season but the Rockets are very high on Morris and part of the reason McHale is here is to develop our forwards/centers and eventually I can see Marcus winning the starting spot. Kind of like how Carl Landry and Patrick Patterson squeezed their way into the rotation in their rookie years except Morris won't have an All-Star caliber player in front of him. I could also see him coming off the bench as the sixth man playing split minutes at the 4 and 3 but we have so many power forwards that the former is more likely.

Multiplayer is great although people who abuse the sawed-off shotgun sometimes make me want to just stop playing. Campaign was okay, I didn't think it was particularly great but it kept me interested enough to play the whole thing and co-op was fun. Horde in one word is amazing, best thing about this game imo.

What the [expletive] happened to all this talk of "progress" being made then?

Fingers crossed.

[expletive].

So this means that we're going to miss at least some of the season right? I think the deadline for a full season was today.

Its like I'm not even mad, I've come to expect this over the years so now its just funny.

Loling.

There is no way this should be a 2 point game.

It works, you just can't be in another forum.

Yeah Woj and Berger have just about been the only writers I've paid any attention to during the lockout. I couldn't ignore this though, take it FWIW. http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/2201/81312252.png
