What about Mo Williams putting up 52 points for Minnesota against Indiana?

Didn't Corey Brewer put up a 50 spot for Minny last year? Weird stuff out there in the snow.

We're stacked in the frontcourt now with Wright but the Knicks may buyout Amar'e if he asks. I don't think he does because he loves NY and might even re-sign on a smaller deal if they'll have him. But I definitely wouldn't mind bringing him back. He's proven a lot to me on a pro level in NY and he's looked healthy this year when he's played. I think he is healthy, they're just holding him out because of the record. And again, our medical staff is tops. Opposite Len, he'd be a great fit.

I think Amare really likes NY and wants to stay. Good for him. He is not part of our future anyway.

Looks like we need to improve our bench. We need players who can provide instant offense while playing smart. I think IT has to go. Green can go too, but he might do better with IT out of the picture. Ennis can fill IT's spot and I think it would be good for the Suns to have a typical floor general type on the floor that sets up other players.

The talent is here. The chemistry is not yet.

I wouldn't mind having Amare back for a low salary, but I don't know if it would actually help us. We have a weirdly crowded frontcourt and suddenly are having trouble finding minutes for Plumlee. I feel like Amare might just create a logjam.

Also, I don't know too much about the situation in New York, but I was reading that Amare still kind of thinks of himself as a go-to guy and one of the key players on the Knicks and so on. I'm not sure if he wants to be the last guy off the bench. That might be bad for the locker room.

Did you guys hear about this? Ty Corbin really badly mismanaged the clock in a close Kings loss to the Mavericks. How did this guy get a second NBA head coaching job?

Because the Kings front office is incompetent.

I disagree. The talent we have is not high on basketball IQ. I swear that only Keef, Len, and Goran have average to above average basketball IQ.

I honestly have no idea on how to make this happen, but I really think a 2nd unit that has Keef as their go-to guy, with a true PG and Green is a great combination. I just don't know how to fill the rest of the holes in the 1st unit and shore up the rotations to make that happen...

I think Brandan Wright and maybe Ennis also seem like they might be high-BBIQ guys. But yeah, guys like Bledsoe, IT, Green, Tucker, Marcus Morris, Plumlee, etc. all seem like low-BBIQ to me to varying degrees.

I'm not sure if I would say Bledsoe has low basketball IQ.

I do know that I wouldn't say Markieff has a high basketball IQ.

Over their last 5 games, Rajon Rondo is shooting 32% and Chandler Parsons is shooting 36%.

Because of idiot management that fired the guy that was doing a good job.

I wouldn't say Karkieff is high either. But I do feel it is higher than most of the guys on the team.

As far as Bleds, I don't know if it is his BBIQ that is low, or he just thinks so highly of himself that he goes contrary to the right play because he thinks he can make it work. In the end, the result is the same as low BBIQ.

Here's Woj's latest scathing article bashing Lebron James:

https://sports.yahoo.com/news/cavs-need ... 53124.html

LeBron is who he is. He's never going to be a leader, he's never going to be accountable, he's always going to look for the easy way out, he'll always be mentally weak, and he'll always be a frontrunner. He has an immense amount of talent, and should be regarded as one of the best players to ever play the game, but his legacy will always pale in comparison to many of the greats that have played the game.

LeBron's a douche. He's got his titles so that's checked off the list. Now he can go back to being a douche. I wish GIlbert would've strung him along and then turned him down on re-signing him. But Gilbert's his biggest enabler.

Always the dollar. Always the dollar.

LeBron reminds a little bit of Wilt Chamberlain; he got too much praise too soon, and became uncoachable at an early age. I remember ESPN sending studio talent, plus motor-mouth Bill Walton, to cover James' high school games. It's like they discovered the next Dalai Lama and were on a religious quest.

He's always been catered to; he's a spoil child who really doesn't know any better. I would love to see him go against Shaq in his prime, or the Jordan-Pippen-Rodman Bulls, or the mid-80s Celtics or Showtime Lakers. He would have shit his pants against such opposition...

Nah, he probably would've just joined them

I'll tell you, the one thing that was gratifying about that Laker run of championships was Karl Malone trying to ride their coattails to a ring and failing.
