    It's kind of a hassle to get to though. A solid 2 hour drive. (Without traffic) They could just as easy fly to a lot of west coast cities
    in the same time. I am not sure the location is the reason.

    It's why they sent them yesterday, so they could get there today. ;)

    This is probably it, but I'm wondering if it might also be to get them in game shape in case they are needed in the playoffs in case of injury.

    I hope they get significant playing time, because I know that can be a problem. Best of luck to the both of them.

    Sounds familiar.

    I agree sending an NBA trainee down to the D-League for a season would be next to worthless, compared to coaching, developing, and training that player first hand, and having them practice against real NBA players, and all that.

    But I think there comes a time when you need to put all that training and teaching to a test over the course of one or more games, then bring them back to the team to work on lessons learned.

    Jeff Ayres (i.e. ex-Pendergraph) just dunked and yelled "FUCK YES!" at the top of his lungs.

    We're only down 2! This will be a glorious blowout once Montero and Alexander wake up.

    Those purple and yellow uniforms. I just woke up and I'm having a nightmare. I'm seeing 5 Kobes running around. Montero is coming in! Alexander just fouled Vander Blue hard and fouled, extending his arm.
