    We just passed the 10th anniversary of Bob Whitsitt's resignation.

    I'm not one to repeatedly say I Told You So forever, but would anyone listen? Hell no!!! They all said it would only take a year, and I said we'd never get back to where we had been.

    And besides Wolfowitz' 2-week war, the ESPN board also argued about the Blazers.

    makes you wonder if we had had a first class coach, someone who could have controlled that mob..but alas, General Patton was already dead...

    It's hard to say that they didn't mesh when we made it to the WCF twice. We should have gone to the Finals and we should have beaten Indiana.

    We were so close. In a way it is painful to think about, yet at this point I would gladly take a year like that again . . . it's been that bad the past decade.

    Right now, 6 of the 16 playoff coaches have been fired. Several must be better than Stotts.

    Some owners and GMs can turn on a dime to quickly grab a good coach. Most can't. The Jazz had an excellent coach in Frank Layden. Everyone was mystified when, 17 games into the 1988-89 season, he announced he was retiring so that his assistant Jerry Sloan could take over.

    I assume when they say shredding of Thomas Robinson's contract they are saying trading. Because they can 't cut him until after year 2. Right?

    The threat of the James Harden-led Rockets signing Howard away from L.A. is very real to the Lakers, sources said, which means the Lakers will eventually be getting a sign-and-trade pitch from Houston as well. The Rockets will have the cap space to sign Howard outright after the expected shedding of Thomas Robinson's contract, but sources say that the Rockets will certainly attempt to convince the Lakers to take in return Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin in a sign-and-trade deal for Howard, thus theoretically keeping alive the possibility that Houston could preserve its cap space to pursue Chris Paul and possibly pair Howard with Paul.

    This is why I'd like Neil to make a run at him in free-agency.

    I get the whole start high theory of negotiations. But come on Danny,
    2 first round picks, Jordan and Bledsoe for a 18 year old vet and a coach. Boston wants to get of both salaries. Good luck with saving 20 million dollars AND getting 4 players.

    The current teams are now at an impasse in a multi-level deal that would free Rivers and trade KG, who has reportedly said he’d go with Doc. The Celtics asked for Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan and two No. 1s. The Clippers rejected it, threatening to turn away and hire one of their interviewees—Lionel Hollins, I’m told. SheridanHoops

    anyone interested in bring back Martel Webster? he shot the hell outta the ball last yr (42% from 3) and could be a nice off the bench backup and also allow Batum to play more Sg, he's still 26-27 and plays pretty decent D I think

    For the right price, I would totally be up for it. The good thing bout Webster is he can play SG/SF; instead of PG/SG combo. I would much rather have a player that can anchor the SF spot, in case Batum gets injured than if Wes gets injured. At least when Wes gets injured, you can put Batum at SG for an interm.

    Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

    I guess it depends on who we draft. If we get someone like Shabazz, and if Will Barton also improves over the summer, then we need to allocate our resources to center/PG. But over all I would not mind seeing him come back for the right price.

    One proposed solution in Celtics-Clippers talks, sources say: If Clips take back Courtney Lee or Jason Terry, Boston would relent on Bledsoe

    PS: If deal happens, I think C's will try to deal PP to a cap space team for a trade exception, then make a run at Josh Smith (sign+trade).
