    They should trade Harden for Embiid.

    Are you serious?? I thought you watch all the games! He’s one of the most talented young players in the league playing esp well after they traded Andre Drummond. For the season, Wood had a 23.2 PER.

    So basically what this means is that the current CBA is already terminated, the NBAPA is just letting the NBA stall so neither side has to look like they can't work something out. They just want to announce a new CBA instead of announcing that this CBA is already in the garbage before they can announce the new one.

    Re: Kenny Anderson. People forget - the reason we signed him was because NOBODY ELSE WANTED HIM. He was the biggest "name" FA left after all the teams had used up their money. I remember that happening and groaning, because I HATED Kenny Anderson and I KNEW that Whitsitt couldn't resist getting him. And then we traded him AND ALVIN WILLIAMS (sniff!) for Damon. So if we HADN'T signed him, we could've kept Alvin and been a lot better.

    I didn't hate the signing obviously he was a guy who had "character issues" but I loved his game... I know a lot of people that it was more flash than substance but I thought it was nice. I don't think he was a great signing. BG and Wes were great signings and Strickland was a good signing. I don't think Anderson was a bad signing but the only thing I was trying to say is that we have never signed an all-star that early in their career. He was never truly great. The Damon trade was a really great move for us. That being said I think as far as making a media splash goes, that is our biggest free agent signing I can think of.

    If you're really bored, watch this Spanish League game from 2008 featuring DKV Juventut when they had Ricky and Rudy:

    They should probably just name Kawhi as player-coach.

    Kawhi doesn’t strike me as much of a leader.

    Some Sheed, some Sabas, some J.R., Gary Trent Sr. and a Vincent Askew sighting... that was a fun clip to watch!

    I think he's better suited to GM.

    I think it's pretty safe to say that me typing his name was the FIRST time it has appeared on S2......
