Regardless of team record, the Raptors still get butts in those seats. That is all the NBA cares about.

Just get Jonas Valanciunas, he probably won't come over this season but the rest of the shit in this draft is so much worse.

If the Wolves don't draft Kanter then I'm expecting them to trade the pick and Derrick Williams goes at that slot. No way the Jazz will let Kanter slip through their fingers. Cavs should get Vesely, ton of talent and might work out with Irving as his point guard.

I never understood why the [expletive] this shit can't be done live.

The Wolves never have gotten the #1 pick and never move up in the draft. Why start now?

Come on Wolves.

Fingers crossed for a miracle.

Use the link AL provided. I did a paper on this topic 2 years ago for journalism but I think I lost the document.

Nice find. I'm a bit disappointed that he dropped out but I guess I can understand why he wasn't a serious candidate. Shocker. I had no idea that McHale left such a strong impression on the Rockets management.

Hiring a head coach Before the Rockets can even think about planning their offseason moves, they need to hire the man that will determining what playing style and gameplan will be. The Houston Chronicle reported early last week that the Rockets narrowed their coaching search 3 candidates. Lets take a quick look over each of them. Lawrence Frank – Frank was a hot name when he began his head coaching stint with the Nets in 2004. His New Jersey Nets would start 13-0, which is an NBA record by a first year coach, under Frank and would go on to make 4 playoff appearances in Frank's 6 years. The Nets would post a 225-241 (.483) record, which included a 16 game losing before Frank was finally canned. Frank is the youngest of the finalists at the ripe age of 40 and stresses his team to play tight defenses, something the Rockets could benefit from as they were a bottom 10 defensive team. He is currently an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics. I don't see Frank developing into a better like the rest of the candidates have a potential to do but Frank is definitely the safest pick out of the three. Dwane Casey – expect Casey's name to come up a lot if the Rockets do not hire him. Casey made a name for himself this season as the Mavericks' defensive specialist under Rick Carlisle as the Mavs would be one of the top defensive teams by holding their opponents to 96 points per game on 45% shooting. Dallas would go on to defeat the Portland Trailblazers in a tough 6 game series and then stomp on the defending NBA champions in the 2nd round. Dwane Casey's lone season as an NBA head coach came in 2005 when he was hired by the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves would go 53-69 under Casey before he was fired in 2007. Out of all the candidates Casey may have the most potential but he's also risky and doesn't have the best relationships with his players. Kevin McHale – this is an interesting candidate to me. McHale spent much of his post-playing career as a front office man, running the Minnesota Timberwolves as Vice President of Basketball Operations for more than a decade. In that time McHale would make two of the best draft picks in Timberwolves history, taking Kevin Garnett 5th overall in 1995 and trading for Kevin Love in a draft day deal in 2008. McHale, however, would fail to surround Garnett with sufficient talent to win anything significant (with the exception of 2004). McHale's ability as a talent evaluator are questionable as he would make a few blunders on draft night such as trading Brandon Roy for Randy Foye. As coach McHale would have two short stints with the Wolves, coaching them to a 19-12 record in 2005 and 20-42 in 2008-09. I would say the poor records are more due to the lack of talent on those Timberwolves teams (which McHale is responsible for). McHale is praised as a players coach and has a spectacular talent as a motivator and is said to be loved by the players. However, can how good of an x's and o's coach is McHale? Can he keep his team motivated for than just half a season? The Rockets would get a good idea of these answers after the 2nd interview but even then hiring Kevin McHale as the next Houston Rockets head coach is going to be a big risk but so would the reward. Darkhorse – according to ESPN, the Rockets and Warriors are teams that are hoping to interview Lakers' top assistant Brian Shaw for their head coaching positions. Shaw got the thumbs up from legendary coach Phil Jackson to take over reigns as the next Los Angeles Lakers' head coach. The Rockets are likely going to await word from the Lakers about Shaw's situation before finally making their decision. My prediction: Dwane Casey gets the nod with Lawrence Frank finishing as a close second.

Jeremiah has an incredible motor but I'd still take Martin over him. Luke I'm not so sure about but as an overall wrestler I like Martin just a tad more. Reportedly the WWE is going to cut some of the lowercard and replace them with developmental and FWC guys slowly over the next couple of weeks/months. Hopefully Martin can sneak in after a brief stint with FWC but I doubt it. And Eric got cut last week. I think the guy you're thinking about is AJ.

Clippers traded their pick to the Cavaliers at the deadline.

[expletive] Martin is out.

A break? They had an awful year but just a few years ago they had 2 consecutive 60+ win seasons. I'm pulling for the Timberwolves or the Raptors, teams that have been bottom feeders for years. I'd also like to see the Wizards get the 2nd pick so they could get Derrick Williams and hopefully become the OKC Thunder of the East (not as good though). Rockets have a 1.8% of getting in the top 3, hoping for a miracle.

Yeah I was surprised nobody had that on their lists. Scrubs is my all-time favorite comedy.

http://www.wrestlenewz.com/wrestling/exclusive-news/latest-on-wwe-turning-john-cena-heel-and-cm-punks-future/ I still don't think Vince will ever do it, only way he even considers it is if The Rock returns as the WWE's full time poster boy.

Make it happen Morey!

Fllynn has been garbage this season. He had a good rookie season but since injuring his ankle and putting up a couple of bad performances, he has lost all confidence in himself. A change scenery could do wonders for him though. Flynn would probably be the 2nd or 3rd string point guard by the way. No way in hell should he start.

Its Hoopworld so take it FWIW. http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=19789#ixzz1MKTJxjmM

If you guys get Adelman, the Lakers are going to struggle in the early going and I'm not sure if Adelman can regain the confidence and respect of the locker room once they do hit that wall. Rick Adelman would do wonders for Pau Gasol though.

First episode without Michael and Ferrel and it was epic. I thought Dwight's half episode stint as manager made it one of the best episodes ever. Can't wait till next week's, Creed is now acting manager.

Didn't realize there were so many Lie To Me fans, very underrated show imo. Anyways as much as I hate to admit it all 5 shows were pretty mediocre viewers/product wise and this move paves the way for new blood. Smart move by Fox. http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/11/fox.cancels.shows.ew/

More games you can have a good time playing offline such as Uncharted etc.

Its way too early to tell but its definitely a possibility. Its going to be hard for any team to counter an offer with Russell Westbrook.

Bad fit.
