    The thing about this trade that bugs me the most is the realization that they still have another year of Aminu.

    I thought (hoped) he signed a 3 year deal.

    What are you talking about ? Aminu is playing well and is on a cheap contract, more years = better

    He has been playing well. I was so down on Aminu for so long that I am really having a change of heart.

    He's still a bad fix on the team, at least as he is currently being played.

    Watching the Kansas game, announcer mentioned that yesterday in practice Azuibuke got an earful every time from his coach if he laid it in instead of dunking. Does Stotts do that, or is it actually really difficult physically for Nurk to dunk? He did dunk the other day but it seemed like he could barely make it. Maybe he needs to do the exercises that Connaughton's dad had him do.

    He seemed to do alright at the start of the season.

    The Church Of Sub Genius? Man, I even thought of that retort before you posted it. Should have added Whitsett to the original post. Damnit.

    If you're not watching this Rangers vs Flyers game on NBC you have to be ashamed of yourself!

    So its strength of schedule that determines the amount of ping pong balls you get? Oh, that's going to make a lot of teams happy. :argument:

    The lottery needs some help. I was thinking the other day that maybe it should consider adding weight to the last time the team was in the playoffs, conference finals and finals. The longer...the higher you move up along with record from the season. No idea if it would help or how to do it. Coming up with a way to get the worst teams up the ladder is not easy. Nothing will guarantee improvement though.

    Around the NBA, eh?

    Try creating a thread Around the NHL and see how far that gets you.

    You should start a thread and update it daily with your draft order to show how it works.

    There should be less incentive to be bad. It would prevent teams from building awful rosters on purpose and in turn make it less probable for genuinely talented players to get lost on dysfunctional teams for years.

    That sounds more like a problem with a bad owner/management. Maybe Brooklyn? The old Clippers? Orlando! Doesn't it seem like the NBA is taking a more hands on approach to things like that? Teams are being watched closer than ever. IMO. Bad owners should be forced to sell...again the old Clippers!(before the racist comments)

    I totally agree about having less incentive to be bad!

    I was thinking it would have to the worst of the non playoff teams the last 5 years or so gaining weight towards a better pick to keep a team from tanking for a year or two and gaining an advantage. (San Antonio with Duncan?) But i'm just spitballing here.
