Just wanted to pass out my congratulations to Chris Bosh -- this was his finest hour as a player. His shot blocking, and that rebound and pass to Allen to tie it up at the end and send it to OT is...

I'm sure North American development stinks. Players should be sent at a young age to basketball academies to learn the game's fundamentals as early as possible when showing promise (as happens with...
Matt, not going to quote you because the posts are too damn long with the quotes.
The CBA: I think the league wants caps/taxes, restrictions on trading first round picks, drafts, vet minimums,...
1) I never said rely completely on the draft. I said keep your cap space by not signing middling players to long-term cap killer contracts. Obviously, drafting efficiently is a good recipe for...
Careless wording on my part. That should read: "If not, you can bring them back on your terms. And never more than 3 years at a time." The sentence was in the wrong spot. Hey, I ain't paid to write...
Alright, thanks for the reply.
We have a difference of opinion on a point you made: That there are "30 superstars and 420 minimum-wage players". It's not quite that extreme. But it might as well...
I was having a discussion with an informed observer of the league, and also I had been thinking about this for a long time.
I wouldn't run an organization the way most of them are today. It's...
I realize it's the time of the year for this kind of front office talk, but it just seems like that's the only issue with this team that's ever worth discussing. And there's no telling how any of...
If they rebuild, which they should because this roster is going nowhere fast, they should take on as many crap contracts as possible to add draft assets. In other words, send us your crap with picks...
That's exactly right. There's a culture of losing here, as McCown put it, the only two things MLSE does well is make money and lose games. Everyone within this organization went down into the sewer...
I never said it was easy. Like Nick Saban said -- "I can't coach screwups". No coach will make any difference if the roster is as bad as this one. And the coach and everyone else are part of a losing...
Apparently he initially had to be put on life support but is able to sustain himself now. The story suggests Blaylock could have suffered a seizure behind the wheel of his vehicle, and thus caused...
Ujiri should fire everybody. They were all hired by Colangelo. Their loyalty is at least divided. But it doesn't matter who coaches this bunch. Ujiri needs to get rid of the roster and bring in some...
The Raps have no cap space. They cannot sign Airball Oden.
I don't agree with keeping him on, because of the jealousies and resentments that will ensue. His assistants and coaches should also be gone. Anyone with divided loyalties and a stake in the current...
I want to see all of this exposition turn into meaningful action. Every new executive should be saying these types of things. It doesn't take a lot of insight and courage to proclaim that the MLSE...
First of all, let me address how to clear the cupboards. If a player cannot be traded, wait until the contract is expiring and then trade him. Take on other teams' bad contracts if they send along...
That is insane. There are no player assets on the ball club, and no prospects for any, to justify that view. The ball club has no prospects, and has a number of low-efficiency high-volume shooters,...
Larry Brown is head coach of SMU. Eddie Jordan, guru of the Princeton offense, is an assistant with the Lake Show. Kareem is 65 and has a manageable form of leukemia. I doubt he could be insured at a...
The thing Casey is doing wrong is he's coaching screwups.
i think the problem with public corporations owning sports franchises -- that they can't take red ink despite their vast wealth -- is why the NFL only allows individuals to own franchises.
Another dreadful season with a mess of a roster full of inefficient high-volume shooters, overpaid spare parts, and dozens of garbage games at the end. Is this over yet, and why not?
It could if the Raps had any cap space.
Blair would really help with something that's irritated me for years -- the Raps lack of physical strength up front (and everywhere else). They've been getting pushed around in the lane for years,...
For once a player who might have more power than the bad guys up front. The Raps have desperately needed a power player in the lane for so many years now.
