    A recent history of contract-dumping moves: Cliff Robinson fetches John Wallace and Jud Buechler. Bo Outlaw is packaged with a first-rounder, and fetches Buechler. Glen Rice is packaged with a first-rounder, and fetches John Amaechi. Antwan Jamison fetches Nick Van Exel. Ray Allen...

    Channel 10 news... trade?

    Not bad. They’re letting me out on a furlough.

    Channel 10 news... trade?

    Yeah, ’cause the NBA has a strict limit — no more than four Executive of the Year awards per family. The Colangelos have used up their quota. ;)

    Rebok is doing a basketball crime scene investigation ad???????

    They need to bring back the Fun Police with the Three Dog Night soundtrack. That ain't the way to have fun, Kobe!

    Bryant charged with felony sexual assault

    This is reminscent of Phil Taylor's comment, "If Bryant did do what his accuser says he did, it was probably because he thought she was one of the women who wanted him but didn't know it yet."

    Bryant charged with felony sexual assault

    Okay, if you say so.

    Kobe Victim

    It probably is. The Kanin report is all over the web. It is mostly cited on "men's rights" web sites, exhibiting a tendency toward misogynism. It seems to be the only researched commonly cited in support of the contention that rape allegations are frequently false. Note that Kanin's...

    Didn’t Palacio wear #10 when he was here?

    Future first

    NBADraft.net has a page that covers that stuff pretty well.

    Interesting Scenario

    Whee! Fun with RealGM! Hey, RealGM accepts it, so that means we can do it, right? :P

    Sports network - Suns draft preview

    I doubt it. With Steph, JJ, Shawn, Amare, the two Jakes, and C-Jake, we already have seven talented youngsters. If we increase that total to nine, we’ll have to expose one of them to the expansion draft, and end up with eight. So we might as well just stockpile eight.

    Kinda Cool Draft Pick vs Draft Pick

    Tskitishvili over Rider? Longley over Tarpley? Bias over Ferry, Swift, and Bradley?! “Hey, Stromile! You’re worse than a corpse!”

    Suns trade down for two 1st rounders in a blockbuster trade proposal

    Bad idea. At #17, there aren’t going to be a lot of guys on the board that we really like. If there is somebody on that board that we like at #17, we grab him. We don’t trade down and risk that somebody else will take him off the board at #18, #19, or #20. If there isn’t somebody on...

    New Charlotte Nickname

    On a similar note, there are a couple of names that are so appropriate for their cities that it’s difficult to believe that the names predate the teams’ tenure in the cities. The Detroit Pistons used to be the Fort Wayne Pistons, and the Houston Rockets used to be the San Diego Rockets. Weird...

    New Charlotte Nickname

    Yup. Gotta love any team with “harlot, whore” in its name. It’s too bad the NBA didn’t require the Jazz to leave their name where it belongs. Charlotte’s team should be called the Hornets, New Orleans’s team should be called the Jazz, and Utah’s team should be called the [insert tasteless...

    The officiating sucks

    Do you think holy water might help? <img src="http://media.nba.com/media/playerfile/tony_parker.jpg">

    The officiating sucks

    Quick stat: According to the boxscores on NBA.com, the Suns beat the Spurs in points in the paint in each of the last three games, including double-digit margins in each of the games in Phoenix.

    4QF is COY?

    What are you talking about? Casey was "slammed into the back room of the doghouse" because Penny returned from injury, which relegated Casey to third-string SG. Voskuhl languished? He played nearly a thousand minutes this season. He was given such a significant role in the team's offense that...

    Orlando almost had Amare?

    Let me get this straight. Cleveland had been offered Lamar Odom and the #8 pick, they hem and haw, they try to accept the offer just a few seconds too late, and they end up with Darius Miles and Harold Jamison? Man, Cleveland sucks. I really wanted to attend the draft party, but couldn't...

    Orlando almost had Amare?

    Presumably, the trade talk was post coin-flip. I do recall there were rumors around the time of the draft that Miami and Portland had agreed to a deal that would have sent Amare to Portland if he had still been on the board at #10. Contingent draft deals like that are not uncommon. There were...

    If you want to see a travesty...

    It will be interesting to see how last night's game affects Wally Szczerbiak's development. This is the sort of thing that could destroy a young player. From now on, he will always be acutely aware that, especially in big games against top opponents, playing aggressive defense can get him...

    Um, does that vindicate the officiating?

    Wow. When even Laker fans agree about something like this, that's extraordinary. Actually, it's an under-the-bottom metaphor.

    If you want to see a travesty...

    Because the early game was in the Central time zone instead of Eastern?
