Not even close. The Cavaliers had three owners in about six months back in the early '80s.


As for Brooklyn being for sale - I hear Donald Sterling has plenty of extra cash lying around......
this is not good for silver, yes? prokhorov is one of the richest people in the world. why is he selling? is this donald sterling's revenge?

Hell, to bad they can't just re-hire the guy who taught Mark Price how to shoot - Denny Price - he was a Suns assistant coach from 1973-74 to 1974-75.

Maybe someone already addressed this, but why is there a picture of the San Antonio Spurs with that tweet?

Because somebody confused the Spurs black jerseys with the Nets black jerseys. Close enough.

Holy crap - I guess if there's one thing this front office has done well in recent years, it's in its ability to dodge bullets :

Sorry if this has already been posted but the NBA is considering getting rid of extra free throws.

Wow, about Channing Frye's injury. It's like the instant players get away from our team and medical staff, they break down. Hope the guy is able to play at some point this year.

FTs are a part of the game. If anything, I'd like to see them keep the FTs and factor it into someone's assist rate. So if a guy hits a FT, it counts as 0.5 assist.

Yeah, I can't see them making that change. That would make decades worth of stats and records invalid.

The Suns' medical staff is absurdly overrated.

Do you really think theyre doing something different than the other 29 teams?

More like Steve Nash and Grant Hill had great careers here because they both had exceptional diets. Shaq had a bounce back due to his desire to prove he still had something left.

But lets get real. Theres also a plethera of players who came here who didnt have some sort of miraculous return to their prime. Vince Carter, Michael Redd, Brian Grant, Jalen Rose etc.
