Seriously. I'm in no way a Bargnani fanboy, but he was at least as happy and enthusiastic as the two other guys in suits (Kleiza and JV).

This is like picking on Jose for running to the bench for...

Apparently the fracture was IN the hand; so not one of the 3 bones that makes up the finger, but the long bone below the knuckle. I imagine that's a heck of a lot harder to hold in place (for the two...

Here's a deal I'd do in a second, even more so if a 2014 pick comes back our way:

(And yes, I realise this is really two separate deals, but it...

In theory, that makes sense. However, if we can make it into the playoffs this year, despite the awful start, the chances of us making it in the next five years are likely just as good or even better...

Here's how I think we COULD get Millsap:

TORONTO
INCOMING: Millsap, Ridnour
OUTGOING: Calderon, Kleiza

MOTIVATION: Should be obvious to...

Not well at all, I'd say. Even WITHOUT Millsap their front court is better than ours, with Jefferson, Favors, and Kanter being anywhere from exceptional to solid.

Their weakest position looks like...

There's another possibility: getting our pick back. Don't get me wrong, if I'm Sam Presti I'd treat that pick like gold right now, but only because you assume it would be in the 4-10 range. If we get...

No to mention that they'd probably use Howard in the exact same role as they used Amarè. While Howard won't pop as well, he'll be even more dominant as the roll man.

As for what we'd offer, my...

As for Denver's motivation:

So Denver will be paying $9.75 mil in Luxury Taxes. Therefore, this deal would save...

Well, I'm sure D'Antoni doesn't want to give him up, but do you not think he would for a guy most people think is the 1b to Lebron's 1a as the best small forwards in the league? Gallo won't EVER be...

To be honest, I think D'Antoni would LOVE having Jose, especially compared to what he had last year, and with having Felton (who can play D) to rely on as well. I could see Felton starting, but Jose...

Oh, I'm well aware that he has limited value. But you missed the point. We aren't trading him as an ASSET in that trade; we are basically FORCING NY to take him, in exchange for A) A player that is...

Hmm... that's an interesting thought, Balls of Steel. One potential trade I just cooked up (I know, I know, it's meaningless, but you got to have a little fun in the off-season, right?):

The bad news: DD's handle looked awful at times.
The good news: it didn't look as if he was trying at all. Still, it's not like Sonny's handle look suspect at all.

The better news: Sonny's range...

I think he will score less than Bosh, but get more blocks and rebounds (and possibly steals as well). I think he WILL become an All-Star one day, possibly depending on the depth at PF in the East.

No problem.

Something that could work:

The Jazz lose Okur and Kirilenko, pickup Mike Conley Jr. (not a bad backup, and making half of...

Not to mention that this trade (as constructed) is impossible. You CANNOT combine a TPE with other players. A TPE must be used by itself, to take on one or more players. Since we don't have a TPE big...

Just ask Turkoglu about verbal commitments. They hold up quite nicely once it comes to actually signing a contract (just as well as Bosh committing to BC that he would do a S&T if he left). :D

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that's true. I'm not sure what exactly Bosh said, but if he said that he is willing to sign with Miami outright, that does not mean that he will do so. That may very...

Actually, Karim, a Trade Exception is NOT a cost. Not directly, anyhow. If I send you a player worth $16mil, and you send me a player worth $6mil (which would require you to be under the cap), I...

The interesting thing would be to see Belinelli starting. He is certainly no worse defensively than DeDe (less size/athleticism, but better BBall IQ), but far better offensively.

If you think the...

Okay, I posted this in a blog post, but thought it would be nice to have it here as well...

Since 3 of the Raptors' 4 victories have been against teams on the second game of a back-to-back set, I...

I cringed when Jack Armstrong said something about this team needing time to gel in the dieing minutes of the game. Not because that is a completely false statement (clearly, it isn't), but because...

Number of Wins: 43
Final position in Atlantic: 2nd
Seed in East: 6th
Bargnani Scoring/Rebounding Average: 19 / 6
Will Bosh get traded (Yes/No)? No
Which rotation player will miss the most games...
