    From the experts on this board who know more about it than me, I believe we can't package the TPE with anything. Has to be straight up for the player. Someone please chime in who knows.

    Would the Bucks have interest in CJ?

    He lives in LA. I'm sure he makes at least 10 mil a year in local endorsements alone.

    I'm sure he makes a lot, but without a proper shoe deal from Nike or Adidas, I doubt it's that much.

    The whole team needs to pass better period....biggest weakness...assists and turnovers...all from lazy passes or bad passes...

    I've pretty much accepted Meyers is our 3rd string center until his contract's up...our Nick Collison dude...just well paid for his role.

    Learn not to choke in the playoffs.

    I'd tell them to enroll with Tim Grover at Attack Athletics to get their mindset right.

    I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that violates the CBA on some level.

    Nurkc: Get a big man coch and become one of the best centers in NBA. IMO he is often off balence and is leaning. Needs to work on his leg strength. Pause and fake once in a while as well.

    Dame will come back better than ever as he always has in the last 6 years. The kid is a mchine! Take a page out of Rondo's book and learn to pass better.c
    Baldwin: Learn to shoot threes very well. Dribble practice. Learn the play book if coach is the same and where to be on defene. Kid will be a steller player I believe.

    CJ: Learn to pass out of your moves, not just ways to score. Can be one of the best I blieve.

    ED: learn to use the right hand some as well.
