    BRoy's hosting an exhibition game at Key Arena featuring Seattle players vs. a league team:

    http://www.oregonlive.com/nba/index.ssf/2011/07/nba_flavor_returns_to_seattle.html

    Seattle team: Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford, Aaron Brooks, Spencer Hawes, Will Conroy, Isaiah Thomas, Martell Webster, Avery Bradley, Brian Scalabrine, Marvin Williams and Michael Dickerson.

    League team: Michael Beasley, Klay Thompson, Brandon Jennings, Nolan Smith, Dorell Wright, Jason Kapono, Troy Bell, Pooh Jeter, Kyle Singler and Marcus Banks.

    Might be as close to an NBA game as we get for a long time, plus it would be a chance to see Nolan Smith play.

    Doors open at 2....how bad is traffic 12pm-1pm on a Saturday?

    Google maps says about 3 hours for me, would be fun, but not sure if it's worth it.

    I am considering going to this. I live like four blocks away from the Key.

    If anyone's going, let me know and maybe we can meet up or something.

    I am seriously considering going to the game. Hopefully I can snag some tix at the door.

    Probably they're all working with their agents trying to negotiate deals overseas for next season. ;)

    Well, LMA is too busy throwing tires around to attend. And I'm totally happy about it.

    Sweet. At least he'll be able to get a job busting tires at Les Schwab to carry him through the lockout.

    How is that good training? Does he need to pick up Dwight Howard off the floor and flip him over?
    The only thing he should be picking up off the floor is a basketball, it seems to me.

    Got my tix on ticketmaster. I am curious to see how Nolan Smith and Martell Webster play.

    He should put a poster of Dwight's head on that tire. I like the strength training, hoping to see 1 or 2 more post moves from him whenever the next season starts. Really hope McMillian can get his minutes down to middle thirties so he isn't dead exhausted come playoffs.

    Wow, Winehouse's Rehab song suddenly took on a whole new meaning...
