Does not compute. Don't look. Here are the highlights. Ah, don't look now. So, what's a safe time? Is it like swimming after eating? 2 hours?

Dragic has looked really good for Miami tonight, albeit not exactly against all-star opposition

henry walker of miami should be the spot up 3pt shooter in their team. put him, goran and wade plus deng and whiteside in the 4th quarter to finish the game.

What do you think of Faried, INF? Is he the kind of guy you'd want as a starting PF on a championship team? Or do you think of him more as a bench sparkplug?

Well apparently he isn't the best personality to have around in an organization.

I love the energy he brings to the court, but honestly I think he's better suited to be a super sixth man, not a starter. He has issues on the defensive end. And sometimes he tries to do too much on the offensive end. I'd be open to acquiring him, but I don't think he is THE answer in terms of acquiring the quintessential power forward.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that. What's the scoop?

It was in an article I posted in an ATL thread in December I think. I'll try to find it.

Found it. And I forgot the article had this epic picture:

Several sources around the league insist the Nuggets' hand was forced with regard to Faried. After the signing of Hickson to a three-year, approximately $16 million contract soon after Connelly's arrival, the sense was the bouncy big man was insurance against Faried's departure in free agency in 2014. Faried was a fan favorite in Denver, but multiple sources with knowledge of the Nuggets' thinking maintain the team "isn't crazy about him," particularly Shaw. But with Faried's boffo showing last summer with Team USA and a loyal following in Denver, the media-conscious Nuggets caved, adding yet another imperfect 4-man to their lot.

"[Faried] is a helluva player and plays hard, but he isn't well liked [in the organization]," a league source said. "That gets glossed over. He says crazy s---. He thinks he's the guy, and other guys take exception to his contract."
