    Knicks acquired Travis and Quincy Acy. At one point the trade was to include my fave, Pablo Prigioni. Now:

    Portland has some pretty absurd housing prices going on as well. Especially North and Northeast. My grandma just sold her small old house that my dad grew up in St. Johns for a little over $300k. Were talking a small house, the interior hasn't been touched in over 50 years. The worst schools in Portand in the area and as much as people say St. Johns has changed (which it has) the area she lived is not desirable. Redonky Donk!

    That's happening everywhere in the metro. Eastmoreland value is going to skyrocket with a little help from the city and the 2035 plan.

    It's a crime that Travis Outlaw is making the money that he is.

    The poster child for overvaluing wingspan+verical leap.

    Eastmoreland has always been a high priced area though.

    Felton suspended for 5 games, just enough time for him to get even more out of shape.

    Heard on radio that Monroe is reportedly willing to take a 1yr QO from the Pistons to become unrestricted next summer. Wow. Leaving potentially a ton of money on the table to get a max next season.

    When was the last time a first round did this from a rookie deal? Ben Gordon? And it actually cost him money.

    Wonder if Bledsoe will do the same.

    That's one of the most iconic plays of my childhood. I was practicing crossover stepbacks at the park daily after seeing that.

    Summer is a time to tackle those big projects that have been bugging you all winter, and Sim Bhullar may be the biggest project of them all. The freshly signed Sacramento Kings center stands 7-foot-5, which would add "tallest active NBA player" to a résumé that now reads "the league's first player of Indian descent" ... if he makes the roster.

    I'm a fan of sim Bhullar. Not that great, but boy does he have an impressive body. Dude is a skyscraper.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Unlike most other freakishly tall basketball players, like Shawn Bradley and Manute Bol and all, Bhullar actually has a really big frame...he's not a telephone pole. Size-wise, he's like Shaquille O'Neal scaled up a bit.

    Should be interesting if he actually gets any NBA play time.
