What the fuck are you waiting on, Bird and Walsh. A DRAFT PICK. A FUCKING FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK. THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO GIVE AWAY.

Drew Gooden re-signs with the Cavs at 3 yrs/$23 million.

Arenas is out. He strained his groin in practice today. All indications are that Bowen will be the last cut.

I think Jango was being sarcastic, Marvin

No doubt...everyone's played great. The last two cutdowns for the actual tournament will be pretty tough.

I'm simply aghast that anyone on this board would use drugs.

They need to have JJ handling the ball and setting guys up. He's done a great job in the games I've seen.

US has a 22-point lead on Lithuania at halftime. It's on NBATV (which I don't have, I got the score off NBA.com).

OK, here's my 90's list. I tried to stick to a 400-game minimum, but I ended up making a few exceptions, which I'm sure you'll notice. 1. Michael Jordan 2. Hakeem Olajuwon 3. Charles Barkley 4. David Robinson 5. Karl Malone 6. Scottie Pippen 7. John Stockton 8. Patrick Ewing 9. Shaquille O'Neal 10. Clyde Drexler 11. Dominique Wilkins 12. Alonzo Mourning 13. Reggie Miller 14. Kevin Johnson 15. Tim Hardaway 16. Gary Payton 17. Mitch Richmond 18. Grant Hill 19. Dikembe Mutombo 20. Shawn Kemp 21. Anfernee Hardaway 22. Dennis Rodman 23. Chris Webber 24. Rod Strickland 25. Jason Kidd next 10 Glen Rice Latrell Sprewell Chris Mullin Derrick Coleman Joe Dumars Detlef Schrempf Mark Price Mookie Blaylock Mark Jackson Vin Baker On this list, I could really take the players' peaks into consideration, whereas on the 2000 list, many of them may have not yet reached theirs. Basically, I felt that Price and Blaylock had great peaks, but Strickland's was more impressive. Truly a travesty that this guy never made an All-Star team. Mullin I left off because he really only had about 3 1/2 years at an elite level in the decade before the injuries began. Dumars would probably be "25a" if I made that option. I ended up going with Kidd because his all-around game was far more impressive. Webber was one that I was pretty generous with in terms of games played and being injured, but you can't really argue with the numbers he put up.

Eddie House has agreed to a one-year deal with the Nets.

Still only 5 guys for the Rumble...I'd like to have at least 15, preferably big-name guys, but I'll probably end up settling for anyone.

Me vs Sandman9000 bow down

I was just watching SummerSlam '90, and noticed that the Boss Man had a shiner when he went out to be in Hogan's corner. I went back and looked, and I didn't notice it on him when he was the referee for Jake/Bad News. Any word on how this happened? Did he catch a good one from BNB while he was getting hammered? Or was it there the whole time and I just didn't get a good enough look at him.

wp vs carlito

Yeah, that red X is HAWT~

The group Malenko was in was Flair, Mongo, Benoit, Malenko. Arn was retired.

Milwaukee trades Joe Smith to Denver for Ruben Patterson.

haha, Sandman got owned in that thread

OK, here's my list. Taken into account are the seasons from 2000 (the Lakers' first title) to now, including stats, awards, and playoff success. My limit was 300 games, as opposed to the 400 benoitrulz4life used. 1. Shaquille O'Neal 2. Tim Duncan 3. Allen Iverson 4. Kobe Bryant 5. Jason Kidd 6. Kevin Garnett 7. Dirk Nowitzki 8. Ben Wallace 9. Steve Nash 10. Tracy McGrady 11. Ray Allen 12. Chris Webber 13. Elton Brand 14. Paul Pierce 15. Vince Carter 16. Antoine Walker 17. Shawn Marion 18. Chauncey Billups 19. Sam Cassell 20. Jermaine O'Neal 21. Karl Malone 22. Antawn Jamison 23. Stephon Marbury 24. Mike Bibby 25. Dikembe Mutombo I'm guessing benoitrulz's list weighed a lot more on stats than mine did. I'd have a hard time excluding a Finals MVP (Billups) from my list. Antawn Jamison is probably the Adrian Dantley of the new millennium in terms of not getting enough respect. He put up a lot of his numbers with a bad team in Golden State, but the past couple years he's shown he can do it with a playoff team, as well. Bibby gets in ahead of Francis and Baron based solely on his playoff resume. He can definitely move up with a few more years like this one. Mutombo was a big part of two Finals teams, was DPOY in 2000 and holds rebounding titles in '00 and '01. These were my next 10, in no particular order: Jerry Stackhouse Michael Finley Andre Miller Ron Artest Glenn Robinson Steve Francis Baron Davis Peja Stojakovic Gary Payton Shareef Abdur-Rahim

So I assume this one goes from the 99-00 season, to now?

Apparently Harrington's switch of agents has opened the door for other teams to get involved again, including GS, Denver and Minnesota. Of course, the deal could have been done before the fact if we'd just given the Hawks the extra $3 million that just would have been used on some other scrub 6-9 forward from overseas. Instead, Bird's trying to offload Jeff Foster on them, apparently. Because really, who needs a guy who busts his ass and crashes the offensive glass?

The storyline was, Savage couldn't get involved in the ring, or he'd lose his job as an announcer. That was why he couldn't save Crush.

I don't see anyone "giving them the gold." All we're saying is they haven't had the problems so far that the '04 team had. And right now, I can't see those problems resurfacing, although I obviously didn't see the Brazil game.

They'll be lucky to fill half of Ford Field with what they have now. It would probably take no less than Austin-Hogan to actually sell it out.
