    He's still a rookie and first season in NBA though, and has done well in recent month. He will still get better.

    Seriously. Plenty of people were so sure hield was a bust around here. Dude is in his first year. He has done quite well after being traded to sacramento for a rookie. Looking like a better trade for the kings than many thought. We didn't have a player of hields value to deal for boogie no matter how hard people tried to argue as such.

    Unless you wanted to deal mccollum or lillard of course.

    Feel for heat fans. They had some huge wins down the stretch, win their last game, and miss out on the playoffs because Indiana and Chicago play teams who are resting all their players.

    I'm with you. It really sucks. Why the fuck did the Nets rest Brook Lopez?

    Memphis and Cleveland went down the tubes this year, so our picks are looking great. Unlike the playoff seeding, when tied the pick order is decided by random draw. Anyone know when this will take place?

    Cleveland Pick: 26th, 25th, or 24th. (was 27th much of the year)
    Memphis Pick: 20th or 19th (was 20th for a long time)

    I wonder if Tim Connelly checks the Grizzlies box scores and cries himself to sleep every night.

    yep, didn't see that they were still playing. They will win, so pick could be 23.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Apparently, the Greek Freak is the first player ever to finish in the top 20 in total PTS, REB, AST, BLK & STL in the same season.

    Magic fire their GM and asst GM 12 hrs after the season ends. Wonder if Neil gets an offer given how much he's taken advantage of Hennigan (Moe and Napes for 2 heavily protected 2nd round picks).

    I'd give up Neil for a few future first round picks like what BOS did with Doc.

    BOS got 1 future first from the Clippers. I don't think a team would ever give up more then a 1st and a 2nd. Definitely not 2 firsts imo.

    ORL is nice but seems low on Neil's list. LA or NY sure.

    It astonishes me when I hear things like this, just how young our main rotation is. We have a YOUNG starting five. Lillard is the Old Man!
