Did he (Shavlik) really say hateful things about gays / Jason Collins? If so, he goes from a guy who's essentially dead weight or a waste of a roster spot, to a guy who I would actively oppose having on the team.

I like Bledsoe and would rather keep him, but if he wants that much, let's show him the door. Maybe I'd do an S&T but I don't want to take on tons of salary, either. Maybe a team will S&T us a decent PF for him? (Remember, it has to be a team where he WANTS to play to make an S&T work. N...

The thing about Boozer is, he looks good on paper but every Bulls fan I read online HATES him. It sounds like he's a frustrating player to have on your team. Energetic, can still score some, but horrible on D and can't really be played down the stretch in a big game. So he becomes essentially useles...

The Suns FO has cleverly waited this out so that Bledsoe has the minimum leverage. Almost every team, including losers like the Lakers, are now out of cap space. And we now have Bledsoe's position heavily covered in case he bolts. No reason to max him out.

Ish was better than I thought he'd be. But I won't miss him.

Paging sdc...

The question is which, if any teams, fall off? I don't see too many teams in the West struggling. You know, barring injuries, the Clippers, Thunder, Spurs will be there. I don't see the Blazers, Warriors, Rockets sliding. The Grizzlies are still there and even the Mavs improved. I don't know where ...

So we're looking at heading into the season with... Bledsoe/IT2/Ennis Dragic/Green/Goodwin Tucker/Warren Keef/Mook/Tolliver Plumlee/Len I guess we're slightly improved if both Bledsoe & Dragic return playing at the same level as last year and there's improvement internally. Only, all the other ...

I think that midseason tournament sounds kind of weird and lame. It could be neat, but, what's the incentive to do well in it? You'd need to really give the winner something special like a guaranteed playoff spot or something of that nature for them to be willing to put their health on the line.

I've always liked Blair. Wish we could've gotten him. As much as I like our team and FO/coaching staff, I hate that we're approaching the frontcourt the same way as in the past. It's a little sad that we're throwing tens of millions of dollars this offseason at point guards but we have almost nobod...

Welcome, klown! And yeah, Xylus, get out of that trash SpursTalk site. It's just a troll board. The only fun thing about it is seeing them rip on each other for their respective teams' mistakes. There's almost zero serious hoops talk going on over there.

Sorry, I think I was just running my mouth. I don't think there is any direct evidence that Len gives a poor effort. I retract the comment. Honestly I don't remember writing that part; I may have had a few glasses of cabernet in me, hah.

I might support that if it were shorter. 4-5 years, maybe.

At first glance I think it's ok. I like the equal odds for teams with the worst odds, but would have kept the odds for teams with the best record a bit lower. I don't like the wheel idea at all, so would rather this for sure. I agree that the wheel sucks. That idea, I just never saw the appeal in i...

I like the flattening of the odds a lot, and I also like putting more (but not all) of the picks into the lottery rather than just picks 1-3.

Warren's looking nasty out there. A really potent scorer.

If he takes it, that is.

Grantland's Zack Lowe broke a story about Adam Silver proposing a new lottery system to the league's competition committee:

Pretty interesting. What do you guys think?

Wow, look at all these old timers back in action! JC, jk, Split, lazyboy, awesome to see all of you! Now get some damn avatar images so people can remember who's who!

Shavlik is worthless bantha fodder.
