draft in a few days... and raptors looking to deal Ford for Jermaine O'neil. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3457325 all off season and draft chats in here!
sounds awesome we only need one good PG calderon, ford for anyone decent is a plus, especially Jermaine O'neil add some size.
BEASTLEY FIRST, well iono if wade is traded to bulls, and heats get first and 2nd picks, that'll be crazy
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3461029 its calderon's time to shine now that TJ is gone but i still don think oneil is the guy for raps
even with jO'Neal... ur still not gonna win it all... u have two finesse big men... u have no power... u'll still get eaten by Superman, LBJ and the Celtics' rotation of big men... including Powe... u guys woulda benefited with someone like Brook Lopez... o and this year's draft is pretty lame... besides maybe OJ Mayo and Randolph...
joneal thats like my fav pf two years back when he led the leagues in block, he toke the entire year off and almsot cost me fantasy basketball this year but i pulled away in the end and won lol... so i think joneal + bosh will probably be the most frightening duo in the inside. (bosh is a pretty good blocker too although he looks fragile) GOGOGOGO pacers so bad now :( there goes my team, i still like granger tho one of my fav playaers
lol 2 yrs ago the east was still shite... LBJ was still getting the hang of it, Garnett was still in the west, Superman was still "Man-Child"... 2 yrs ago u also didn't have up and coming teams like Atlanta and Charlotte... 2yrs ago Shaq was still good...
wow... Yi to New Jersey... imagine in 2010, if LBJ does go to NJ to team up with Devin Harris... that'd be a pretty bad ass team...

i really think the cavs should have taken mario chalmers because they desperately need a PG...their trades and draft this entire season has been side to side...no upwards progress...
it doesn't matter... LBJ plays the point newayz Cleveland has 2 more yrs to win it all or LBJ will be in Brooklyn partying it up with JayZ, Yi and Devin Harris
with the Big 3, and Rajon Rondo who is improiving a lot, i think the two new players will improve a lot during the summer in training camp imo. I doubt Sam Cassell and PJ Brown are returning but if they are, there goes more experience players to guide them. Not to mention Posey as well, so i think the two draft picks they picked wouldnt be so bad... GO CELTICS, and I dont think Yi would go to NY anytime soon lol, hes in NJ now :\
