Interesting comment given the current Bledsoe situation. And I think Hornacek could do a lot better with than 20 wins with that talent.

It's the culmination of all the garbage that's been drug through the valley of the Sun. My tolerance is nearly nonexistent. Ryan is light years ahead of Blanks, but still seems to be off course.

So the Love trade is happening. Love for Wiggins, Bennett and a protected 1st. Love also "wink-wink" agreed to opt out and resign for 5 years after next season.

Great trade for both teams, IMO.

I agree.

Also, Shawn Marion is apparently on his way to Cleveland. If Ray Allen is signed as well, they have patched two areas of need and they can focus on getting a rim protector.

Shouldn't be too difficult.

LeBron, Love, Kyrie, Thompson, Waiters, Vaerjao, Haywood, Delladova, Mike Miller, plus Marion and possibly Ray Allen. That's a pretty nice roster. Not sure why they're wasting a roster spot on James Jones, though.

They also have a nice trove of picks to use to upgrade. And I love their coach. That roster can play a lot of different ways (big, small, fast, shooter-heavy) and Blatt's the type of coach to maximize their versatility.

With Marion and Ray Allen, along with Love, that team looks great. Pencil them in for the Finals right now. Done and done.

I think the Bulls will have something to say about it.

Yeah, with a healthy Rose(at least he's looked like his old self) McDermott, the Euro and an improved Snell, they look much improved and ready to challenge anyone in the East.

Rose has looked great with the USA team. I think this could be his tournament much like 2010 was Durant's, and at the very least it will serve him to build his confidence back.

Honestly, I want him to succeed. I'd hate it if he ended up being Part II (Heaven Cent).

I forgot that Pau went there too. That's a good team for Thibs. He might have an aneurysm though with how some of them play defense.

Still need to see him take and make jump shots. That was one of the worst things about his game when he came back.

Overrated is subjective. If he puts up another 20/10 season is that considered overrated? I don't think so.
