To be fair, he made the announcement because he got caught at a Gay Bar with his partner and the paparatiziziziziz took pictures. The real question is why in the fuck are people with cameras following Lance fucking Bass.

No I am saying with the Bulls, alot of what Wallace was able to do with the Pistons is negated. Defense is alot more than one guy. The pistons had 5 guys on the court that were great defenders. The Bulls will have Hinrich out the with Ben Wallace. No help on the blocks like Tayshawn and Rasheed gave him. I said they would be inproved, but he doesn't change a 2nd round team at best into NBA champions. And be not confused, at least 2 of those defensive player of the year awards were crap. He wasn't even the best defender on his TEAM last year.

Well I am going to make a call on the Bulls. They are going to be better, but that is because of Thabo not Ben Wallace. Here is the truth about Ben Wallace. He is a sucky one on one defender. If you are counting on him to be the last line of defense, you are going to suck. Ben Wallace can rebound, I give him that, but he will only get you 2-3 more rebounds than Tyson would have. Plus he is just as inept on the offensive end as Chandler. Plus he is great and being a help defender that can come and block some shots on the weak side....like Chandler. Ben Wallace became out the this worldly good when the Pistons got Rasheed Wallace, who is a very good post defender. That allowed Ben to run free, causing havok all over the court. Now he is going to have to THE guy. THere is no other defender on the blocks for the bulls unless you play Ben with PJ Brown(which isn't a bad Idea actually). What I see in the Bulls is the same team as last year with a stopper added to the backcourt in Thabo. They will be better, but this still isn't close to a championship team. And the Hawks got a offer from Golden State for Troy Murphy (6-10 guy that is a guarenteed double double) for Harrington but didn't want to take on his contract. So they would rather try to lure free agents (when we all know no one is coming to this team with the ownership the way it is) and a draft pick in the twenties instead of a guarenteed, proven double double 6-10 PF/new aged Center. Plus I don't even want to think what Denver was offering, but I guarentee it was something that could help this team now. Zaza is officially the weak link in the starting line up. Speedy is a better guard than people give him credit for Joe Johnson, Josh Smith are on the verge of superstardom, and Marvin Williams WILL have a monster year. Zaza is a Center who can't defend, flops alot and gets alot of offensive rebounds...mostly off his own misses. Sheldon Williams might start at Center, but dude is seroiusly slow...like...seriously. With Troy Murphy there...you got to take him.

Plus amare is a very underrated jump shooter and so is Bosh. Yeah, Miller is a better passer, but he rebounds like a guard, and is slow on rotations in zone defense and can't man up on anyone.

I certainly can't see how anyone would take hinrich over johnson when joe is a better shooter, playmaker(yeah, I said it) and probably the best overall defender on the team. the reason brad miller should be expendable is that he is chris bosh and amare stoudimire without the back to the basket game...or the defense...and abot half the rebounding ability. between howard, bosh, brand, and stoudimire, brad miller should never be on the floor.

You would have to be crazy to cut Joe Johnson to keep Kirk Hinrich, Bruce Bowen, Antwain Jamison, Shane Battier or brad miller on the team. CRAZY.

Giving up 18-8 (although I am sure Childress, williams and Smith will more than take up the slack) for a trade exception and a pick in the twenties is not a good deal no matter how you cut it.

I just finished my first season with Troy state. Lost one game to Nebraska 48-21. Besides that it was an ass kicking good time the rest of the way. I managed to pull the number one QB in the nation (he happend to be from alabama which game me a extra kick) with the in season recruiting and the number one corner. The rest of my recuriting class sucked all to be damned. But the freshman QB has a speed rating of 87, and a damn good arm so I am kicking the shit out of people now. Plus, if you go to 5 wide, there is this one passing play that is virtually unstoppable if you have a fast QB. I don't get why you guys are having a hard time timing jumps. I get them like every time...of course I jump off sides about 8 time a game when they fake me out, but just watch the freakin ball and hit the button.

Difference between Jerome James and Bonzi. Bonzi always has produced when on the court. Jerome James played 3 good games against the Kings and got a shit load of money. Bonzi has been a pretty consistant scorer since he came in the league. So I don't think Jerome James is a very good comparison.

Josh Smith is a allstar in the making. He ain't going to the bench. He will probably start at the 4 with Marvin Williams starting at the 3. The reason the Hawks are getting shitted on for this deal is because THAT couldn't have been the best deal on the table. Sure up your bench some more in the front court for christ sake. Our back up center is...I...I really don't know. I guess Esteban Batista. But seroiusly, any player that can come in and give minutes in the front court without needing starter minutes is esential right now. Instead they take a high draft pick and thats pretty much it?

Okay...i just heard on the radio that the Deal for Al fucking Harrington to the Pacers was for a first rounder.... ... thats it. The PACERS (who will make the playoffs) first rounder (guessing around pick 15-22. If this report isn't wrong.....

I don't get it. The Wayans make a movie every year, people always get shocked when it makes alot of money. This is like the 4 or 5th one in a row that has made a ton of money. Why are people shocked. I personally refuse to watch this just like I refused to watch White Chicks.

You know, in a matter of time every person charged with murder will have people checking out their myspace sites. Everyone has one.

Al plays big now though... so I guess Indy is looking to move Jermaine to the Center, Al to the PF, Daniels to the small, Jackson to the 2 and mystery un named player to the point? Or Daniels at the two and Granger at the 3...or....um....what the hell is Indiana about to do?

Naiwf just hate steve nash. His arguments are never going to support his points because they are based on illogical hate. Fact of the matter is, Nash's numbers are 13 - 7 only because he got drafted to a team that had Kevin Johnson(fringe hall of famer) and Jason Kidd(hall of famer) at the same position for his first few years in the league. Only count the years he had major minutes. In the last 6 years he is at around 16 points and 9 assist. And you can expect those numbers to be around the same next year. And since you asked, Tim Hardaway and Mark Jackson are all time greats. Remove the Jordan bulls and/or ALonzo mourning fightling like a bitch with Larry Johnson, and they both have rings. (Mark Jackson would probably have two). Tim Hardaway is one of the few players to average 20 and 10 for 3 seasons in a row or more. (Nate Archibald, Kevin Johnson, Isaiah Thomas and Magic Johnson were the others). Mark Jackson is number 2 all time in assist. But any list that removes Bill Walton (hands down the most overrated player in the history of the NBA) and adds Dominique is alright with me.

I guess you can expect Nash not to play for 5 more years and Banks will eventually be the replacement (the guy has the juice to run the offense) but I am just a little shakey on it. And the SUns signed Sean Marks....its pretty much a wrap now....time to start practicing their "holding the trophy" pose.

Yeah, Jerome James is the one move I can never justify for Isaiah. I think all the rest of his moves were risky and could have just as easily have worked out for him as they didn't, but nobody thought that Jerome James would be worth a damn with his walking around with a trashbag ass.

Reason #1120303 why Isiah Thomas is an idiot. Pay Jerome James and Eddy Curry $100 million for the rest of the decade when you could have a homegrown center at a tenth of the cost. Its not like they could justify paying another center that much money. He HAS to play Curry and James because its not like he can trade them.

Ah Kirk Snyder. Everytime someone mentions him, they don't talk about anything good in his game...they say "well...he certainly looks in shape". Thats never good.

I liked the village... thats all I got.

I say its a upgrade actually. I am still torn on the Marcus Banks to Phoenix deal. On one had, he is what Barbosa is already, only better defensively....on the other hand, 4 mil a year on a back up point when the suns have lost in the conference finals two years straight due to lack of depth at the two guard spot. I will have to wait on my decision on this one.

How many Chris Bosh games have you seen? He's a better shot blocker then LeBron, and is pretty good defensively. And he has more then just a post game, his mid range shot is pretty good, there's no way you can convince me that LeBron plays a better power foward then Chris Bosh. I have watched him since he was at Tech. Damn good player. But he aint a defender. In international play...yeah. You could put Lebron at PF and he would be more effective. Plus, Bosh is not good defensively really. He only blocked 13 more shots than Lebron this year by the way.. He has a good midrange shot, but that plays its part in his face up game offensively. And if you had two players facing up the oppsing 4 man, who would you put money on scoring or making the right pass 9 out of 10 times? I don't think you can honestly say Lebron. The US can try to have the bigger and stronger team(and bosh isn't exactly big or strong) or they can have a freakishly atheletic team with humoungous mixmatches at every position.

Because when people like music that you don't like they should die alone.

Post offense means nothing in the Olympic games where they play a real Zone and just collapse on a guy on the blocks. Bosh would get swarmed. Lebron would be playing offense against the other teams PF and internationally, the PF's don't have back to the basket games. So basically you get a PF trying to take Lebron off the dribble on the offensive end and trying to stop him on the defensive end. Thats more of a ass kicking than people realize. Plus, people might not no this, but Bosh really isn't a good defensive player. Howard in the middle...fine, but Bosh would not be as effective on the court as Lebron at the PF. Plus...a healthy Amare takes the Center or the PF spot.

I think that Jason Kidd being about 10 steps slower has more to do with New Jersey's new found fast break slow down than Lawrence frank. plus you have to say that the Nets had much better front court presense in the Scott/Jordan years. I personally think that Frank is getting all he can out of the team that has been put before him. Jordan on the other hand has Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Antwain Jamison, and a very capable defensive front court and can't win consistantly throughout the year.
