The big, long “catching up” post

Vacation = over. It was fun while it lasted, but now I’m a bit overwhelmed trying to catch up on everything that I missed. Fortunately I was able to check email (which includes all of your comments posted on DBB) roughly every 36 hours, so I’m not completely out of the loop, but…

Cheikh Samb will be a Piston in 2007-08

Or perhaps more accurately, he’ll be a Mad Ant. Keith Langlois of Pistons.com has the scoop from John Hammond: Maybe the biggest news coming from Las Vegas is that Hammond said the Pistons have decided to get Samb signed so he can split time between the Pistons and their new Development…

Did Chris Webber tip his hand about returning to the Pistons?

Kelly Dwyer, who’s filling in at TrueHoop for a vacationing Henry Abbott, spotted this Chris Webber quote buried at the very bottom of a Boston Globe article: When asked if Detroit had a shot at a title next season, Webber added: “Definitely. We have the talent and experience, and…

Summer League: Winner and Losers

We all love the fact that Marco Belinelli played well during the NBA Vegas Summer League. He's got a chance to make a big impact on the squad this coming year if he can keep dropping his jumper. Yahoo Sports asked NBA scouts and front office personnel who were the winners and losers of the Summer…

Along with his buddy Tru Warier Ron Artest Golden State Warrior multipurpose swingman Stephen Jackson will be suspended for the first 7 games of the 2007- 2008 NBA Season (see NBA.com) as a consequence for that crazy night in Indiana (it's crazy that Jackson actually thought he could…

Knicks 2007 Report Card (A to Z): Jerome James

KnickerBlogger: At the time of Jerome James’ signing, I kept some quotes from RealGM’s Knick message board, because they were quite optimistic. Unfortunately RealGM has decided to scrub their message board of anything over a certain age, so I can’t link to these quotes, nor can I…

Winless in Vegas

Seattle failed to get a victory in the Las Vegas summer league, finishing 0-5. But anybody watching the game tonight had to walk way impressed with rookies Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. In some ways Green overshadowed Durant with his play tonight. I think he really represents the type of player…

End of 3rd quarter: Portland 63, Seattle 56

Seattle is down seven, but Kevin Durant and Jeff Green are having their best games playing together. Green has a double-double (23 points, 12 rebounds), and Durant has 21 points and three rebounds. They haven't had much help, but it's been entertaining watching the rookie duo get up and down the…

At the half: Portland 42, Seattle 34

Turnovers and poor defense are hurting Seattle, as the Sonics continue to show their youth. Seattle has turned the ball over 11 times in the first half, leading to 13 points for Portland. And the Sonics allowed 16 Portland points in the paint. Kevin Durant (12 points) and Jeff Green (12 points)…

Another GP sighting

Gary Payton arrived here at Cox Pavilion during the beginning of the first quarter, and is sitting up in the stands with his agent, Aaron Goodwin. Kevin Durant and Payton both share the same agent in Goodwin. I believe Payton has a house in Las Vegas, but it's interesting that he'd take the time…
