Jordan, Bobcats were bold on draft night
The Charlotte Bobcats did something Thursday that I thought was out of their persona. They were bold. The easy thing would have been keeping North Carolina forward Brandan Wright. He’s an athletic tease with Tar Heel ties and so full...

Official 2nd round picks thread.
Aaron Gray and JamesOn Curry. I have little to say about either. Gray is a big oaf (and that can be good) and JamesOn seems like a taller Jannero Pargo. I expect the college basketball fiends out there to fill in the rest. Gray replaces Sweets, JamesOn may be the Duhon replacement, although they'd…

Draft Day Reflection
The day after. It's the realization that one of our family is gone. Jason Richardson gave everything he had to this organization and probably deserved better. Whether it was the right move or not, it still hurts. Hurts because he was one of my favorite players. Hurts because he worked hard to…

Can Curry and Randolph coexist?
I must admit that my initial gut reaction to the Randolph trade was not exactly great. And I still don’t really like it. The obvious parallel here is the disastrous Francis trade, in which the Knicks acquired a talented but flawed player with a huge contract who duplicated almost exactly the…

Two updates
The Sonics sent the 31st pick in the draft, Carl Landry, to the Houston Rockets for a future second-round pick. Also, as part of the Ray Allen to Boston deal, they get a second-round pick next year, either from Boston or Portland, whichever is higher.

Draft Day Trade Same Old Isiah
Shortly after ESPN announced Zach Randolph was traded to the Knicks, a commenter named Harlan said “are we really getting upset by dumping frye and francis and getting someone who put up 26 and 10, we have a huge lineup now who can score, they cant double team either and randolph has an…

Looking down the Garnett road
The Lakers walked away from draft night feeling fine, expressing these opinions: There is time (all summer), and there is still opportunity to make the trades that they want. I don't disagree that the Lakers can still do plenty. However, I'm expressing these facts:

Your newest Chicago Bull
Pax help us all. I can't imagine liking this pick as recently as a few weeks ago, but lets focus on the good things that Noah does. He's 7 feet. He can man-defend the center position, good help defender and shotblocker, and on offense he can run, pass, catch and finish. That's a…

JRich or Die Flying
Well the Warriors did what many of us thought was unthinkable today by trading fan favorite Jason Richardson without netting a big name like Kevin Garnett or even Jermaine O'Neal. There's tons to talk about this move, but here's a few of my random unorganized thoughts a few hours after…

Hey, I just got back from the draft party, and I must admit it was the best damn party I've been to all day. When all was said and done, the Hornets ended up with Julian Wright from Kansas and Adam Haluska from Iowa. Wright wasn't expected to be available at 13, so I guess that's a good…

NBA Draft 2nd Round: Picks 37-45
Still in shock. Here are the next picks: #37 Portland Trailblazers: Josh McRoberts A good pick in the second round. McRoberts has an all-around game. He's not a go-to guy, but he is a good passer and rebounder. Kind of a Luke Walton type. #38 Philadelphia 76ers: Kyrylo Fesenko He's an…

Ray's thoughts on Rashard
When I asked Ray about Rashard, Ray said he doesnt know if Ra wants to come back now that Ray has been traded. He said he and Rashard spent a lot of time talking last year about winning, and he doubts Rashard wants to rebuild and have to be th big brother to a bunch of younger players. We'll see.

Got off the phone with Ray a few minutes ago and he said he understands the trade, he got caught in the crossfire of an ownership change.
