And strangely he has recovered in Milwaukee and has been very solid for them.

Yep. It hurt seeing how fat he got last season.

Holy shit. Anyone watching the Rockets & Knicks? There's a group of fans sitting front row (baseline) wearing bags on their heads like the old Saints fans. BRUTAL.

Kemba Walker was going for his 4th 30-point game in a row tonight but only scored 29. He really needs to add the 3-point shot to his game though. Over the last 4 games he was 8-23. Still not sure how I feel about his extension. He's taking a lot of shots to get those points.

So. The Sixers have suspended AK47. Seems that when the trade was made, he was told he would be released, but the Sixers changed their minds and now want him to report and he is refusing.
They, all of a sudden, realized that some contenders might need a SF like AK47 and want to save him to see if they can get value for him later.
What a joke of a front office. Don't make promises you don't intend to keep. There is nothing Kirilenko can do according to the rules, but they should never have told him he would be released.

It was a clown move by Hinkie.

What players are going to want to play or stay there? I think they are doing huge long term damage to their franchise.

Quite possibly the greatest thing I HAVE EVER SEEN. Thank you Mori!

Perhaps just as important, who will they draft?
Suppose they get the #1 pick. Can they take Okafor or Towns, given that they already have Embiid and Noel on the roster? Can they put Mudiaye next to MCW? Seems to me they'd have to trade down. And in any case, they'll eventually have to sell some of these guys at a bargain, since no one's going to want to stick around long term. I'm sure MCW is dying to leave.

If I was them, I might take Towns play him at PF and play Noel off the bench. Let him spread the floor and cause havoc on defense with the 3 headed monster rotation.
I would love for the Suns to get their hands on Towns or Okafor. Not in that order, to go along with Len and Kieff.

I haven't watched enough of them play to say whether either could work next to Len.
I'd guess Philly may try to trade down for Stanley Johnson if they get the #1, but who knows. Maybe they'd try to move Embiid or Noel instead.

The body fat percentage bit had me rolling. That and Duncan putting the guard to sleep by being so boring.

Memphis is getting Jeff Green for Prince and a first rounder. I don't love Jeff Green, but I really like him for Memphis.

That's a good deal! Memphis needs more depth and talent, and Tayshaun is basically a corpse, so I like this for them. Giving up picks is never ideal, but their pick is probably going to be 24-25th or something, so in that sense it's not a huge loss.

Is there a player more similar to Rudy Gay in the league than Jeff Green?
