I'd kill for the Celtics to get him (I'd take him in addition to or instead of Marquis Daniels.) Ditto for Kleiza Von Wafer will help a contender next year.

I'm trying to get excited about the schedule and players I'm not going to care about during the season. Oct 27 can't get here fast enough. I hate the dog days of the NBA.

Great quote. Should be the new NBA slogan for the upcoming season. “Love the Game..Hate the Business….”

The coach wants Ramon Sessions but Walsh will not pay enough to get him. I hope someone else gets Sessions as it would prove what a stupid arse Walsh is.

Like if Josh Smith had been an unrestricted FA last year, you don't think he would've had more teams all over him? They had to assume ATL would match. It's then up to the agent to convince teams that they have a real shot and landing the player. Flip Murray needs a job, too. He can get buckets. A team like OKC could use him off the bench.

I love basketball, certain players, the game itself. But I hate from both standpoints players on one hand who can't play or who only gives you very little effort until contract year. On the other hand you have greedy owners who for them most part is about making money. Most teams don't know what they're doing...i.e. clippers...i.e. timberwolves i.e. every other team excluding teams like Lakers, C's, Spurs, Bulls.... actually the Bulls lucked up getting Jordan...since then they've shown nothing but mediocrity...

I do hate that Ray Felton is lingering around like the ugly girl at the dance. Seriously the Bobcats must be on crack if they think Augustine is a better option. This is how you know MJ isn't really calling the shots over there. Felton would have already been signed, They would have re-signed Sean May, and they wouldn't have drafted a piece of dukie (Gerald Henderson) ahead of a All-World Tarheel (Ty Hansbrough). That should tell you MJ isn't calling the shots for everyone that likes to blame him for everything (Kwame Brown) when he IS NOT THE GM. seeing as how i hate Glen Davis, i love the fact that he isn’t signed.
