    If only.

    They'd need to send out nearly 14M in salary to be able to accept Turner in trade, and there's no reasonable way for that to happen. Considering that their draft basically consisted of Monk and Bacon, I wouldn't be surprised if they just let the rookies man the SG spot for them all year.

    I think they're expecting big things from Dwight; I doubt they're interested in offloading him for an overpaid, underperforming swingman with no outside shot.

    I was actually thinking about something very similar, but thinking we'd be better with a SF than a PF. Would Detroit take Williams and Vonleh in exchange for Harris?

    He'll be fine. It's his left elbow. Not his left knee. And he'll still be in his basketball prime.

    I've always been a fan of Nic, but I don't want anything to do with him now. Sad to see injuries take their toll...

    I'm going to choose to ignore your comment about not that hate-able.

    I agree they've got some players and may surprise some teams.
    However they play in the West, and the majority of their games are against Western Conference teams. Meaning they aren't going to pick up many in conference wins.
    They've got a 50/50 chance against any of the lesser eastern conference teams...
    Shit I'd say they have a 50/50 chance against 5-8th seed eastern conference teams as well.
    But their chances drastically diminish when they face the West.

    Oh and.. Fuck the Lakers.

    This makes 0 sense. Actually, less than that. This makes negative sense
