i wanted walsh 2 trade into the 2nd and get chalmers on draft day when he fell i would rather have chalmers and sign a shot blocker but hey nothing i can do now

i no duhons jacks up 3s and i don't expect the assist to turnover ratio 2 crash but i am sure it will get lower since everyone who comes to the knicks stats get lower and we are trying 2 make moves 2 change the cast of characters but still i no we ain't gonna be winning for a while im just waiting 2 rebuild

"Two". Just two extra keys to click, man.

As for Sean Williams vs. Brook Lopez from Scotty or whoever, they both ******* suck.

Are you for real? Sean Williams played very well last year. He averaged like 2.4 blocks per game, in like 15 minutes. He's gonna be a stud. And Brook Lopez talks like a mongoloid so I don't care bouts him

I'm so happy Duhon is going to NY. Looks like the Magic are now more serious about going after Maggette. Woot! Roll out the Red Carpet Otis!!!

[fenikz]

The Bulls are hiring some quality coaches

Sean Williams is a beast, out of Williams, Lopez, and Yi, you are bound to get one allstar caliber, one solid guy, and one bust. I like those chances.

I honestly think that's the Nets plan. Out of Nenad(if we keep him), Anderson, Yi, Boone, Lopez and Sean, we're bound to get 2 starting calibur guys. I see them being Sean and Nenad with Yi being a bust, and Anderson and Lopez being good role players and Boone sucks(UCONN alum...)

I agree though, I love Sean and think he'll be a great player

[ccB]

Yeah when the Wizards picked in that draft I wanted Nick Young or Sean Williams, we ended up with Young and I am happy about that but you wouldn't of heard me complaining if we got Williams, I've been high on the dude since before he got kicked off BC's team.

1.5 blocks per game, but who's counting?

ok, 1.5 blocks in 17.5 minutes. If he plays say, 30 minutes a game, that's over 2.5 blocks per game. pretty damn impressive. Also, in just 17 minutes a game had over 5.5 points and about 4.5 blocks. He'll be a stud, just wait. You just said he sucked off no basis

Yea, if he didn't get kicked off BC, he woulda gone much higher than 17. thanks goodness for marijuana!!!

But he only played 17 minutes a game, so it's no use trying to project to 30 minutes per game. For all I know, he'd foul out playing 30 minutes a game, and nobody wants a guy doing that. You have no basis to say he's going to be great.

Rose looks to have tendinitus in his knee. Thats not good. Tendinitus never fully heals right?

foul out in 30 minutes? that's a bit of a stretch. From watching every game, I think I've got a basis for thinking he'll be great. You just said he sucks out of nowhere. How many times did you see him play last season?

Eh it's not that bad, he's a little young to be having it but he'll be able to play. My buddy has been playing on a knee with tendinitus for 6 years now in soccer and he's fine. Just takes rest and treatment.

I play soccer and I had pretty bad tendonitis (tendon almost detached completely from the knee). It's manageable and you can play on it, but to sort the problem long term the big thing is just rest. I had to take 3 months off completely and it's still not totally sorted, just a lot better.

If you can say he'd average 2.5 blocks a game, I can certainly say he'd at least be in foul trouble every game. In 17.5 minutes per game, he averaged 2.6 fouls. He'd at least get taken out of the game a lot with that rate.

From watching a lot of games, you see that he's got a lot of potential, but by checking the stats, I can say that he's got a long way to go. Hell, watching Celtics games last year, I saw some flashes that Gerald Green might not be hopeless, but he most certainly is hopeless.

today is the Beasley-Rose summer league game ^_^ too bad ill be at work. Still im excited to read if TT, and Noah have made any progress as well as how they mesh with Rose.

[Brodeur]

So, Pistons offered Maggette the full MLE but he's leaning towards the Spurs now it seems.

Pretty sure he realizes that he'd be nothing but a part time player in DET.

[diabsoule]

I'm surprised the Hornets haven't offered Maggette anything yet.

If he's being offered the full MLE at Detroit, i'm pretty sure their intentions are to move Prince and/or Wallace.

Anyone try to watch the summer league stuff?

You can watch it on NBA.com, geez Joakim Noah is the most terrible offensive player I have ever seen, only he can make an open layup into a difficult shot that rims out.

Ben Wallace would like a word with you.
