    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Rondo and Ray Allen should be representing Boston in the All-Star game, rather than KG and Pierce. Their guards have probably been their most valuable players this year.

    I forgot about that, he has a player option or something, right? In any case, I was just looking for a way the Blazers could take advantage - Orlando now needs a PG, the Blazers have one too many. Honestly, Orlando doesn't really have anything that desirable.

    Yeah, but KG will get at least a couple more free spots from the fans.

    Howard wouldn't accept a backup role. We'd have too many centers then. ;)

    This sucks. I loved how he was playing, and also don't think Williams really deserves it. The Magic are probably my favorite team in the east despite Turkeyglue.

    Not really. People seem to rate him correctly. He's a good all-around player, but that's it. (He'd be great for this team though.)

    Is Arroyo still in the league? His only claim to fame was beating the U.S. that one year, but has pretty much sucked with whoever team he's been with.

    Oh well, Mo deserves to go anyway

    ...or Jamaal Tinsley! He's actually got more talent but is probably too much of a headcase. (Plus I don't think he's got much of a three point shot, and that's kind of important if you're playing for Orlando.)

    No, but I'd be willing to give them Steve Blake, who fits their "everyone but Dwight stand outside and launch 3-pointers" game plan.

    Blake for Pietrus straight up works, or
    Blake and Webster/Outlaw for Turkoglu

    I like Pietrus for his defense, but we are pretty stacked on the wing.

    Sometimes when injuries happen you just got to take it on the chin. Thats the way it goes sometimes.

    I like Pietrus, too, but I think Batum is already close to Pietrus as a player. Pietrus has been my worst-case comparison for Batum. I wouldn't trade for him.

    No. Arroyo plays for Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Euroleague. I got to see a couple of their games on my latest business trip and he does not seem to be doing great there either.
