    Chuck Daly may be deceased, but he probably still has a stronger pulse than last year's Blazers.

    I'm pretty sure Shaq didn't "have it in him" when he got swept four times before the age of 28.

    Let's be honest, you don't know anything about basketball. A couple of years ago you couldn't stop mentioning how much of a loser Kobe is, when the only loser here is.....

    Guys relax, we need a bench.

    They have the weakest bench in the league and Chris Bosh isn't an All-Star.

    So yeah I don't get your argument. The Mavs won nearly the same amount of games in the regular season and Dirk was hurt.

    I am fine with a hard cap but I doubt that Collusion would end. The Heat took a paycut and LeBron could have gone to Chicago. So there was always going to be some super team formed. The Cavaliers proved they're a pretty weak team without James.

    Oops, yeah, that.

    Damn, I forgot about that... Still, you gotta give me credit for thinking outside the box! A dead commish is better than Stern and Hunter any day of the week.

    Let's go a step further and have the players have an ownership stake in their new league... I bet that would make them play hard every night and make every year a "contract year." I'm not sure what it would do for retirement, though.

    LeBron will never win 4 championships, like Shaq did. It's never gonna happen.
