Listening to what he says and the fact that right now, there are 10 guys from heat team who are working out together and are in gym, made me think about Banks, POB, and Roko. 1) Does anyone know where Banks is and what he is up to?

Some of those shots were just prayers that went in. He's good, but I don't trust him to be the scoring leader of a team. He doesn't play smart a lot of the time.

He can play either guard, he's a good defender, and he isn't as much as a windmill as Gordon. I might rather have Hinrich, two years left for 16 million.

Kobe is easily the most clutch player in the NBA. The lakers are match-up nightmare for the Cavs. Lamar Odom off the bench for lakers cannot be stopped by any body off the Cavs bench. IMO the Lakers would win in 6 games (maybe 7 because of homecourt advantage). *Saying the Lakers have no killer instint is by far the most stupidest thing typed on this blog.

I love LBJ and the team has better chemistry but Kobe, Odom, Gason and Bynum is just too much taklent for the Cavs to overcome... Will be a short finals due to the 2-3-2 format and Lakers having the 3 in the middle they win Game 1,3,4,5 good close games but not the 7 game classic some people think. Lakers will crush.... Call your local bookie and or online account. Lakers have too much talent for the Cavs…

However if we had a player like Hinrich at the PG (Bulls would part with him as he makes 9 millionish and they have Rose. For example Trade Bosh/Kapono for Deng/Hinrich/Noah or T Thomas. Trade Jose for Kaman. Draft best available...Sign Iverson.

Trade Jose for Kaman.

Draft best available…Sign Iverson.

Hinich/Stephen Curry
Iverson/Delfino or Parker
Deng/kapono
Andrea/Hump
Kaman/Noah or T Thomas

Never happen but my point is Iverson here would NOT be a bad idea IF Jose was traded.

OR

We trade Jose/Kapono to Detriot for Iverson in a sign and trade????

Draft a PG…

Lawson/Flynn/Curry/Jennings/Rubio (if we move up)

Ty Lawson
Iverson
Marion
Bosh
Ab7

would be fun to watch…

Lebron Will not loose in his homecourt and let his family/friends down. He is not a choker and he just won the MVP and will not settle for anything other then the LOB trophy.

The guy really has no clue on how to assemble a team, a team that can win. Fucking Houston is terrific to watch. They all play defense, they can shoot, they can hang with the best of them. Denver and Orlando the same thing. These teams genuinely like eachother it seems and have great chemistry. Then you take a look at Calderon and Anthony Parker, Kapono that is the Toronto Raptors LOL. I just cannot watch the team again next season after seeing teams like Denver, Houston, Chicago fight for their lives. I hope Colangelo is watching tonight’s games.

He is an arrogant son of a bitch. He talks down to the fans. He regularly insulted Chuck Swirsky when he was here. I truly think he was a main reason why Chuck left. Now that we got the "Snoredevil" Devlin to sit next next to him I watch the games with the sound on mute and just put on a good album. Ever watch that old cartoon Devlin. It's more exciting than listening to Matt Devlin and they just recycle the old Speed Buggy/Scooby Doo plot every week. Leo please just go be a bad coach somewhere full time and let's trade Matt Devlin back to Charlotte for who ever they got now to replace him.
