That'll be a loss. It's like a 11 AM game on the other side of the country we're used to playing on.
Go Suns!

We've lost six in a row with a cushy schedule. How do we have any business categorizing upcoming games into "dangerous" and "not dangerous"?

I don't think Friday night in NYC before a morning game is conducive to winning either.

So the "most active teams" ends up being a third of the league.

Maybe Woj should go back to writing scathing pieces about what a horrible person Lebron James is.

Happy fact of the day: We have 8.4 million dollars allocated to Michael Beasley and Josh Childress this year...

Pse. Over the years we've made a habit out of paying guys to go away. Vince Carter got $4M to enjoy a new life as role player for the Mavs. Ben Wallace too. Pietrus, Pavlovic.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, don't make me break my keyboard here. Do we owe either of them anything next year?

Two more years after this one for Beas... only 750k, but still.

And it actually looks like Childress is hitting our cap for 15 million this year. 7.5 for his salary, and 7.5 for the fact we waived him under amnesty early. But it isn't very clear and different sites don't agree.

It was amnestied, it doesn't count against the cap. Their probles is that they don't have assigned a specific property to amnestied money so they can't single it out. Purple color, for instance, like blue and red are noted for team/player option. 'Stretched' is also missing although it technically counts against the cap.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Bledsoe for Rondo rumors started flying.

I'd like Plumlee and future 2nd rounder for Greg Munroe.

Why trade for Rondo? Off-season cap space? We take the chance of losing both him and Dragic in FA.
Love, Hurts.
