    Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeck Tracy McGrady reportedly considering baseball career. He told me in 2010: "I love baseball right to this day more than I love basketball."

    So McGrady is still trying to be Michael Jordan?

    That's what I was thinking. He could have been in the same conversation if he had gotten Tim Duncan to join him in Orlando.

    Why a new thread? Couldn't we have stuck with the initial season long thread? Is there a reason for this?

    There was no need for BF to do the new year new thread either since HCP's covered the whole season... so, I guess they are just keeping up with it.

    I know. I didn't like that either. Why couldn't we stick with the initial thread? In the future, it will be confusing o look back at these threads cuz the first one was supposed to be the whole season.

    Exactly. It was stupid, and no need for it at all. I say we re-open the original thread and merge the January one and this one with it. I think she just knew it was going to be a big thread and wanted it to be attached to her or something. Made no sense.

    By breaking them up into smaller chunks it makes it easier read from the beginning and keep up with current events from around the league. Not everyone reads the forum daily. It's difficult to jump into a giant multi-page thread when you're just trying to get a synopses of what is happening in the last week or two.

    If you want I can merge them all when the season is over so we have a giant 2014 NBA yearbook thread.

    OKC has to come back to earth at some point. Tonight would be a good start.

    That's what Last Page / Latest Post links are for. Once the small thread reaches page 2+, I don't see how that saves anyone any time. People want to read everything or the last couple days, not the past week or two. Monthly splits are pointless. If they want to peruse current events, as you say, it actually takes more time this way to find the various threads covering around the league action.

    Mike Brown is the worst coach in the NBA right now, bar none (yes, worse than Kidd). He's always been ineffectual, and the fact that Cleveland rehired that clown is a sign that they have no clue how to run a franchise.

    So, I read that Trevor Ariza played some good defense on Durant. and i have read that statistically he is in the top 3 or 4 defending LeBron. I have always felt that if you have championship aspirations, that you need somebody to defend these two. Not to mention, we need better defense against everyone. This guy get almost 2 steals a game and over 6 rebounds, also almost 3 assists. He shoots 38 % from the three. The reason he can fit with the Blazers is because he can play with Batum a lot with Batum as SG, so he should be able to get 30 minutes. He's probably big enough to play pf in a small lineup.
    Why might Washington trade him? he is in the last year of his contract. They have Martell Webster signed for four years and they just drafted Otto Porter. Also they don't seem to have a backup PG (they don't seem to like Maynor) and their backup sg is not much; so they might love to have Mo Williams.
    So what's possible? Williams, leonard and Claver for Ariza.
    We can add Watson and take back Maynor if you like him.
