Kakatawa yung mga may long routine pero bulok sa FT like Antoine Walker hehe

naalala ko dati nood ako live PBA game ng Ginebra ,,comment ng katabi ko kay Marlou aquino
..dami arte mag freethrow,di naman kaya i shoot ..hahaha

I like this one if you're getting Battier and Harrington

ILD: pumayag ako sa trade. nakuha ko yang dalawa.. hehehe

[mazdamazda]

I honestly believe that Josh Smith is overhyped, fantasy-wise... He's not in the league of GWallace yet IMO due to his very, very weak scoring... Other than drive and dunk, he can't do much.

same thinking here... I guess people are going crazy about this blocks.

James, Wade are getting their rest

Watch LeBron James and Dwyane Wade this season. (There's an original idea.) No, we mean watch their minutes. Each logged heavy playing time last season and more big minutes in the postseason and still more minutes in the world championships in Japan this summer.

Wade, who had a sore hand at the start of training camp, is already complaining of dead legs, and Pat Riley has rested him throughout the preseason.

James has a once-in-a-lifetime body, but Clyde Drexler was in pretty good shape in his day, and he broke down the year after playing on the 1992 Dream Team, missing 33 games with a sore knee and pulled hamstring. So did Chris Mullin, who missed 36 games after tearing a ligament in his thumb.

Then again, Charles Barkley had the best season of his career after his 1992 Olympic stint, winning MVP honors in 1993 in Phoenix.

Cavs coach Mike Brown knows that he's probably the only person who can keep James from playing until he drops - or until something breaks. He says that he wants to keep James around 40 minutes a game this season.

"Once you start getting above that, on average, then I think it can have some long-term effects," Brown said.

"He's a young guy and he's not going to feel the effects right now. But maybe in the postseason - maybe not in the postseason, maybe three, four five years down the road. I respect him and his livelihood more than anything else. So I'm not going to destroy that or mess that up. Because he is a huge chunk of this franchise."

Through Cleveland's first four exhibitions, James averaged just 23 minutes a game, and Brown sat him in Wednesday's loss to Toronto... .

Memphis' Pau Gasol, who was supposed to miss up to three months of the NBA season after breaking his foot in the world championships in August, is recovering ahead of schedule, working out with elastic bands to work his calves and ankles and working on the leg press and extension machines. He was supposed to get the boot taken off of his foot late last week... .

Having let Nazr Mohammed go - Gregg Popovich wrote him off during the Western semis with the Mavericks - and traded Rasho Nesterovic to Toronto, the Spurs have to decide between free agent Francisco Elson, forward Fabricio Oberto and Michael Finley to play in the frontcourt next to Tim Duncan this season.

It sure looked like the Spurs had no answer when Dallas went small. But Popovich insists that San Antonio had played small, and played well, during its last run to the title in 2004, with Robert Horry playing power forward during the key moments of its championship run. "We had already started changing because of the [new defensive] rules," Popovich said... .

Speaking of which, no surprise that Don Nelson has gone small with the Warriors, playing Troy Murphy at center, Mike Dunleavy at point forward and Mickael Pietrus at small forward, with Jason Richardson and Baron Davis in the backcourt. Dajuan Wagner, who started when Richardson was injured, is now coming off the bench... .

The Pacers were high on ex-Celtic Orien Greene's defense, but Greene is out for three weeks with a broken finger... .

It won't take long for the Carlos Boozer trade rumors to start up again now that Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has again ripped Boozer's lack of defense.

nyehehe.. hope Gasol comes back soon.

[mazdamazda]

yup... go Gasol! :pope:

[theveed]

It'll be stupid to rush him back realistically.

In my opinion, the Suns shouldn't play Amare this season (or at least, not now), so shouldn't the Nuggets play Nene just yet.

It's so short-sighted to allow your franchise (or big salaried) player to play without guaranteeing full recovery first.

[mazdamazda]

yup yup... didn't Amare learn that the hard way last season? they shoved him in for 3 games and he aggravated his injury.

well... that's good news for Marion owners though.

[theveed]

They didn't shove him in, according to Phoenix news sources and Amare himself, he wanted to know his progress just to know how he's progressing and how his rehab will progress this off-season.

[ssaloon]

who'd be a better deal, baron davis for bibby? or for andre miller? mukhang mas ok si andre eh.

[baiskee]

kanino si baron? kung nasasiyo...wag mo na pakawalan.

[ssaloon]

you have a good point. antay ko muna umakyat market value para magcommand ng better deal... hirap pala maging GM. pano pa kaya yung mga totoong GM ng NBA teams

[baiskee]

pag pumutok si baron...tiba-tiba ka dyan.

pts/3pts/ast/stl/ft% medyo mababa lang FG% pero di naman sya nagiisa, isama mo pa TOs...heheh karamihan naman sa PGs taas ng TO eh.

[chain]

and Baron's in shape lately.. unlike Bibby who's gonna miss 2-3 weeks of the regular season daw on an injured thumb.

[ILuvDetailing]

Until he shows me he can play atleast 70-75 games this season or the following seasons, I'm not touching Baron Davis.

I wouldn't put to much weight on the preseason numbers, its totally different from the regular season.

Davis sucks big time in FG% TOs and FT%. If Don Nelson can bring out the best in BD, then well BD owners got themselves a steal in the 5th or 6th round.

[Eismann]

These are some straight up trade I've been doing lately in the other leagues I've joined:

Trade 1: AK47 to trade for Dwight Howard
Trade 2: Shane Battier to trade for Rashard Lewis

By the way, thanks M2 for the KB24/Dwight/E Jones trade in the PTP league.

[mazdamazda]

ah yes... I really like our Kobe/Dwight/EJones = Marion/Pierce/Korver trade.

I guess it is a win-win for both of us.

[ILuvDetailing]

Trade 2: Shane Battier to trade for Rashard Lewis

my goodness talk about highway robbery, I'm guessing your after Rashard Lewis

[jim]

hey great trade!!! although I would keep Marion in my line-up if I had the chance ;)

[Eismann]

He-he-he....obviously yes, but imo, Battier is not a bad offer....Rockets are projected to go far this season and Battier and Bonzi has a lot to do with that overrated projection. I'd like to gamble on Rashard because of his contract year and I need more scoring and steals in that league to stay competitive. This is my weakest team so far and this is how it looks right now:

PG - Arenas
SG - Hinrich
G - Cassell
SF - Battier(Rashard if the deal pushes on)
F - AK47(Dwight Howrad if the trade is accepted)
PF - Sheed
F - Bargnani
C - Lafrentz

Foye, Brevin, Kenny Thomas, Bowen, Dajuan Wagner

If you pull this trade off my hats off to you, no offense but this is a lowball offer if I'm the commish I would veto this trade.

Rashard is third round material, the 2nd option in the high octane Seattle offense, while Shane Battier is the 3rd or 4th or maybe the 5th option for the Houston Rockets, don't be fooled by the world championship performance, it was against non-NBA talent.
