Wednesday Workouts

Why would the raptors want Flynn with Calderon and Bayless…Maybe it’s more about the number 2 pick. 

As weird as it sounds, Flynn would be an upgrade over both of those two. Bayless is more of a combo guard off the bench.

Flynn+Derrick Williams would be a great draft for them. Or if they want, they can draft Kanter and move Bargnani to his natural 4.

Hmm that actually makes some sense for both teams if you think about it. Williams would be a great pick for the Raptors, who need a player that can bring excitement back to that organization. Flynn would also get a fresh start in a different system.

It makes sense for Minny, because Williams is clearly the 2nd best player, but they already have Love, Beasley, and Randolph, as well as Johnson who is really a SF. The last thing they need (besides a PG) is another forward. The trade would give them a starting SG, and would allow them to draft a C like Biyombo with the #5 pick. I gotta admit, a lineup of Rubio, DeRozan, Johnson, Love, and Biyombo with Beasley and Ridnour coming off the bench would get me pretty excited if I was a Wolves fan.

I’m pretty sure Brooks and Vucevic will be around at 17

I have a feeling this will be the Goudelock show.

Rubio’s gonna have a hard time adjusting to the NBA, let alone that triangle offense that’s been so succesful for Rambis and Minny. They’re gonna have a great, cheap, young core.
No doubt that Minny has a lot to look forward to. If that trade goes down.

They need to trade Bargnani before DeRozan.

eh, they all stink.  Calderon was one of the most overrated players in the NBA for a couple of years, and then everyone realized that he’s a slow, non defending player.

Bayless is talented, but he is a shooting guard.

Flynn is at least a pg, but he’s just not very good.

Bargnani is at best a bench player on a contender.

He’s too much of a liability on the defensive end of the floor/on the boards to be a starting center and he’s not quick nor skilled enough to be a starting power forward in this league IMO.

I think Toronto is down on Calderon.

He will never fall past the Bulls who need an option for D.Rose.Also the Nets are very high on Jenkins.He is the best shooter in the draft(except for Jimmer).Jenkins proved it against elite teams.

no.

no

” I liked Bargnani at first, but he actually makes Dirk Nowitzki look like Bill Russell with his defense. “…… LMAO  thats a good one

Calderon = Poor Man’s Derrick Rose?

I notice the team is brining in a lot of seniors and juniors, I think that’s a good idea. It makes it more likely that they’ll be able to hit the ground running and contribute right away.

I would still like to bring in a raw, high risk, high reward player with another pick if we can get one (hopefully our front office is being creative).

Why cant we draft Keith  Benson in the second People.  Seems like just what the doctor ordered Athletic Shot blocking Center.  Take a look please.

Ramous won’t be back in minny

Too bad he cannot play defense…

Definitely right on that one, but Derozan’s shooting got a lot better last season (specially with the stronger minutes he got), and with work he can get the range. He’s already a good player and good slasher. It’s a good deal both ways imo.
Bayless can play the SG and Flynn can learn from an experienced PG that’ll get reduced time to open up minutes for the kid.

Flynn is an absolute horror show.  I watched a lot of Minnesota basketball in the second half and he was atrocious.  Maybe he wasn’t fully recovered from his injuries, but he’s not even a backup as of last year. He might not even be an
NBA player

The Miami Heat have the superstars and will  beat up on the favored Mavs.

Agreed on your 2nd point. At his strength Bayless makes for a better SG since his distribution skills aren’t great, but he’s definitely a good player to have on your rotation.
I think many here underestimate Flynn because of his poor 1st year -and getting picked way too early for the other guys available- on a difficult system in an overall bad team with a young coach.

Don’t expect them to be so creative. Their past has shown them to be “conservative” at best. The Jordan Hill was pretty creative though, no doubt.

2nd round, assign him to a European program for later.

While guarding Jason Terry,LBJ looks over at him smiling calling him Mo Williams.  The biggest reason LBJ went to Miami was that he was Dirk in Cleveland with a lesser supporting cast.

Even Kobe could do with a lesser cast. Before Shaq and even after shaq Kobe had major issues trying to win a ring.  He alienated his teammates royally.

Barea in the starting lineup?

Miami 3-1 series lead.

Them starting Barea (who I hate) almost makes me want to root for Miami this game lol.

I’d like a coaching change just as much as the next guy, but you’ve gotta cool those jets my man… That sounded too much like an “IT for coach” endorsement…..I actually prefer Mike in this scenario

yeah, now LBJ can sit back and watch Wade do his thing.  I can’t wait until they win the championship and Lebron starts crying about how tough it was.

1st and 2nd best player in the NBA teamed up with an allstar caliber third option.  It’s a total disgrace.

He should use Carl Landry’s teeth that are still buried in Dirk’s elbow.

Too much?

You’re right, too easy to get carried away.

This draft’s critical, so maybe it’s better if they look for the most NBA ready players they can find. 
If they get creative (in your sense of the word, hopefully not mine), I really hope it pays off because there are some really interesting prospects in this draft.

Guys get confused about what a big is……………..
A big is 6’10″ or bigger NOT 6’9″ 

@Has

You telling me you haven’t seen TD run the point 10x better than Kidd is ??????? work with me here

Kidd look like he on the take

At best Klay Thompson is Mike Miller we need defensive help.

 TD = Poor Mans Shandon Anderson

Poor Middle Class Man’s Moochie Norris.

Yea…10 mill for Tyson Chandler?.. Glad some of you aren’t up for the GM job..

I smell D’Antoni wanting another trey chucker who can not play defense.We do not need Jimmer.

Jimmer >>> Charles Jenkins

After all the fear we would end up with Houston’s 1st rounder, we are now trying to trade up for it. Whodathunkit?

Jimmermania is lurking…….

Don’t know who said that but I love Stephenson’s game. He can knock down open shots, plays defense, and has an attitude. Wouldn’t mind him starting at the 2 for the Knicks in the near future.

Edit…. Sorry I thought this first one got deleted, excuse the double post

He’s with Fields aka the “untouchable one” throwing up Bricks somewhere while Andy holds the camcorder…

Ha Ha,a shorter version of Danillo Galinari.A three point chucker who does not play defense.We do not need a D’Antoni type player.

Lol, I’m just tryna get Dollar upset. If we trade up for him I’ll be shocked. The idea of having a pure PG has consumed my thought process…and Jimmer ain’t it.

_i_k

*fixed*

he’s sealing the pine

I’m still not sure how a player not playing for a deep team in the Finals has anything to do with the same player maybe being able to contribute on a team that got swept in the first round.

SMH

I swear these divas are flopper’s and a half.. is this really what the game has come to? the league seriously needs to enforce this no flopping rule

Moz couldn’t get real PT in Denver, yet he was a TKB fallen angel..

Whatever sounds good….that day. *shrug

DP

Picture me arguing over Brewer when Jefferies was NO better. LOL.
Let’s look at _’Antoni and Co. getting us a decent pick out of these rooks.
Eff Brewer.

Sidebar: If James Fredette is truly a Mormon wouldn’t that make him a racist?

Jayo was too obvious,as was your like for him.Talk about the new cap that nobody
knows about.LMAO

Fields shot 47% in March and 43% in April. That’s not bad. Contrast that with Billups at 39% in March and 41% in April. I’m always amused the blame it on Fields story line. 

Wholeheartedly agree. A tiny bit of acting here and there is acceptable, but when it’s so blatantly obvious on such a consistent basis, it gets to the level of being disgraceful and compromising the game of basketball.

No more than someone being a conservative, Republican, or Tea Party member. 

Seriously though I remember Bull Connor and Birmingham, the Freedom Riders, and the days of real racism. 50 years ago freedom and civil rights were being earned with blood. By calling people like Jimmer into question, you risk trivializing the ugly history of racism in America.

Whoa! This is not that kinda site buddy.

lol magical underwear?

Meh… it’s part of the game, we were all ecstatic when Gallinari started manufacturing points at the line. Half the time you would have thought there was a sniper in the building the way he hit the hardwood.

…

HaS, your post above maybe the understatement of all time. I would call the entire Book of Mormon into question. Actually I would categorically state the book is a fraud. 

I’m not making this stuff up man lol.

I wonder what Isola will write about if Isiah gets the Piston job,?

No, Joseph Smith made it up.

Selby will never be Wade, he’s not big enough, but I feel he can be a Wade type player at the point IF he steps his passing game up.(basing this off skill set & attitude)

Darius Morris or Josh Selby…hmmm… Anyways, back to the game

I remember some people here implying that _’antoni made Shawn Marion (I argued it was Nash). He’s not looking so bad this series.

agreed but he at least had a little contact when he sold it. I just watched James diva it up and throw himself on the floor when no one even touched him. Even down to the screaming when they’re going for a layup to get a foul call. 

You’ve outdone yourself once again, this may be your most insightful post yet.

wow thats crazy especially the part about them being racist. I would’ve never guessed it when I talk to a mormon but then again racism isn’t dead its just become too sophisticated for us to see. 

lebrick!!! lol

..

You’ll be waiting a looong time, I do hope you’ll hold your breath.

Clearly Jarred Jeffries taught Dallas how to lay the ball up.

He’s had a hell of a run this entire post season…his dee and o rebounding have kept them in games plenty of times but I am sure he would credit all that to his time spent with the suns

This series isn’t even close in my opinion.

You gotta have at least two players who can create their own shot and force the defense to make adjustments to beat Miami in a 7-game series and Dallas only has one. The Mavericks always put themselves in a hole when Nowitzki’s sitting on the bench.

series is over. welcome to the Heat Dynasty. I’m going to puke now.

Jimmer is the least likely person to be a racist in that exchange. I’ll leave it at that.

I have thought LeBron was the best player in the league for a long time now, and while in terms of pure talent he still is, I can’t help but think he isn’t even the best player on his own team. Wade has been outstanding, not only with his scoring but his hustle in every aspect of the game plus his blatant crunch time leadership. That being said, this game just got awesome in the last minute I’ve been typing this. Let’s go Mavs!

Lol how many shooting guards can guard the post?

Incredible

I totally think we can beat the Heat in a 7 game series I think Amare would kill them in the paint.

Playoff basketball is amazing.. My team has been home for weeks, but I’m thoroughly enjoying this game..

Probably because I want the Heat to lose….but still

LOL

Mucha is a huge Dirk fan, wrong again.

Wade is ridiculous. I would take him over any player in the league right now. The guy has superstar talent but hustles like he is the 15th guy on the roster.

I wish I could agree. Unless we get another significant upgrade at pg or C I dont see it happening. Not in a seven game series.

This would be the score after the 3 quarters if the mustached man of mystery had his way, he must be home watching this in absolute disgust.

double posted

Lebron is the most talented player in the NBA. There’s a difference between most talented and best.

Wade has been the best player this series.

I knew about it but yeah they pretty much said it. although it’s not much more ridiculous than other religious texts

The is the best ugly game I have seen in awhile. So many wide open bricks!

I remember when many people here were convinced that it was only a matter of time before LeBron would be a Knick and they argued me to death that he was better than Wade and I disagreed. Now that they’ve been spurned by the King they can’t shower Wade with enough praise, while at the same time shoveling dirt on LeBron’s legacy.

LOL

LeBron is 26, he’s actually going to get better if he continues to work on his game. For some perspective Jordan won his first ring when he was a year older then James is now I believe.

Edit: As Wade chokes at the line lol.

You’re neglecting the 2+ years of pro experience LeBron has at this stage of his career over Jordan.  The Jordan comparisons are silly.  Everyone is so quick to compare to Jordan before they even approach his level.

Wade is actually the better comparison to Jordan, they just never kept a good enough team around him, and wasted a good 3 years of his career.  Plus he’s not as durable as Jordan.

Edit: But Jordan DOESN’T miss clutch free throws or turnover the ball on last second plays.

In reality: Game 1 was 75-72 with 3 minutes left. Game 2 was a run followed by a run that ended with Dallas ahead. Game 3 was obviously tight. Tonight has been the same way.

To clarify, this isn’t saying something about you… people are hard-wired to look at things this way. Miami has the Big 3 and should be winning, so when they do something it feels normal and when Dallas does something it feels like an aberration–but both teams have been matching each other. We all assume Miami has another gear to go to despite the fact that it never comes out.

Lebron “the phantom” James….typical

Depends on if they guy you’re trying to sign is a racist.

this has been one of the best NBA playoff seasons in quite some time… from the carmelo vs. boston series to the finals, it’s been exciting from beginning to end

I still believe Dallas wins this series. 

not that I ever argued that I liked LeBron better than Wade. But a lot has changed since last summer. LBJ showed his true colors. He ain’t no MJ.

lmao

Interviews had him taking this game very personal due to his lackluster performance from previous games. I found it telling when he said portland had better defense than the heat. Lots of long bodies in portland man.

Wade:  ”Okay LeBron, I will let you give the pep talk to the guys before the game, but then it’s time to hand the team back to me”

LeBron:  ”I wouldn’t have it any other way”

Dirks marrying a black woman so we can nip this in the bud

Big win for the Mavericks.

Jason Terry was fantastic in the 4th quarter.

Must win game for Dallas, props to Dirk for fighting through the flu and toughing it out. I’m not a big fan of his, but it was impressive for him to even be out there looking like death.

what ever takes place in this series i would still prefer Lebron and Wade on the Knicks over Stat and Melo.

the difference on the defensive end is miles.

i still wonder if there was ANY way Donnie could have convinced the three to come to NY..

..he always looks like death though

Boooooo! lol

Now if they can somehow get caron butlers ass on the floor it would be a series.

Lol, I don’t think anyone ever said they would prefer Melo and Stat or Lebron and Wade.  BUT I would take 2 players that WANT to play in NY over ones that don’t want any part of it.

I hate Jason Terry, but I agree.

Why is everybody picking on LeBron?  He almost had a triple double tonight (8-8-7).
Great team player.

Can’t wait to hear what the excuses are tonight.

Jordan should sue Pippen for slander. 

lol you aren’t the only one. The rule applies to me as well. I keep on thinking the series is over, and then all of a sudden it isn’t. That team has a lot of heart, and they know how to handle the pressure.

All this junk whatever………
TAKE WADE OFF THIS TEAM AND THEY ARE NOT IN THE FINALS FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!

any Mav you don’t hate?

Riley had to convince them that he could clear the space to fit all three in .. 

I dont think NYC was an issue .. It was ALL THREE going to the same place.

Donnie held onto Chandler, Gallo and Douglas which prevented that from happening. 

Why should his age matter?  Plenty of young people has extremely rash views, it has plenty to do with upbringing, especially the Mormon culture since it is so isolated, there is little room for “escape” so to speak as your surrounded by devout Mormons throughout most of your young life.  Nurture plays a large role, especially in such a niche religion, because they want to pass down their traditions as fervently as possible.  I’m not saying Jimmer is a racist or anything, but HaS’ questioning of the matter isn’t out of line.  It’s not like some of the prior discussion here of racism linked to the Chandler-Gallo or Walsh-IT debates where it was just exposing agenda, his claim (not even a claim just informed speculation) was rooted in absolute reason, no need to extend his comment to all other situations involving different races working together.  I’ve sat back and tried to give you the benefit of the doubt sometimes, as sometimes you have real opinions, but it’s gotten a bit out of hand man.  Hurts me to say it too since your icon is the logo to my favorite show haha, but oh well.

Before the playoffs, I wasn’t crazy about the idea of signing him. I gotta admit though after watching him more I really like his game. The guy would bring some much needed toughness to this team, and his ability to knock down the open shot would keep him on the floor. Not sure what kind of offer he is going to get though, or if the Mavs want to bring him back.

Chandler, Stevenson, Brian Cardinal…

Vince Carter esque lol theres a difference but in all honesty though his athleticism and the way he finishes and drives at the basket reminds me imo of vince with his hops, but I expect lebron to show up on  thursday hard core for the heat whether I like it or not.

i think this whole “Scared of NYC” is deflecting the criticism.

the THREE of them wanted to play together.. they plotted it out in the Olympics right under Pringles mustache.

I hope LeBron shows up and goes hard core.  Him trying to be the lead scorer will probably lead to a loss.  They have the right formula, they just need more from him, not 40 more pts, but 10-15 more.  LeBron isn’t demanding a hard double that he has commanded his whole career, things should be easy for him to get easy buckets.  Heat have morphed him into a facilitator/3pt/longjump shooter who will dunk on transition.  LeBron should be able to get to the hoop any time he wants when he’s got kidd/terry on him. But instead he’s trying to hit a wide open chalmers/miller/whoever.  Your a superstar, act like it.  

lol no kidding. Wade and LeBron are two of the top 3 players in the NBA. I think this series should make fans optimistic though. Like the Knicks, the Mavs two best players are poor defenders. They make up for it though because they have a good coach, a couple very good defenders in Stevenson and Chandler, and they make smart decisions at the end of games. If we can find a coach that stresses defense, and we improve at a couple positions (especially on the defensive end), I think we should be able to compete with any team in the league.

Btw as far as the big 3 in NY thing goes, it would have been extremely difficult imo. A couple things would have needed to happen.

#1 We would have needed to package Curry and Gallo in a trade to clear cap space.

#2 Donnie would have needed to tamper, which would have been more difficult for us, because Riley already had Wade.

#3 The big 3 would have needed to prefer NY over South Beach, which is hard to imagine when you consider the weather, no income tax, and Wade already played there.

I think it is safe to say le-beyotch did the best thing for himself going to south beach. He needed a real clutch player to play with so his deficiencies could be hidden!

HaS’s questioning is completely out of line. There is no basis to even consider him being a racist. There is plenty of reason to KNOW it is preposterous. This is a guy who grew up in the Northeast AAU circuit and is now about to be an NBA draft pick. It brings into question anything HaS ever has or will say about him.

His age matters because the 1970s Mormon Church made a huge effort to remove all that garbage from its texts and practices. Jimmer Fredette wouldn’t have learned any of that. Kind of like how people don’t learn to stone their kids for insubordination in their churches on Sunday. There are plenty of people who use the Bible to justify racism, slavery, misogyny and what else too–that doesn’t mean that’s what every person who uses it believes. The onus is on the accuser to have proof before he goes into crap like that. 

You don’t just throw that kind of thing around. But that’s how HaS operates.

Unbelievable.  I was tempted to turn the game off when the Heat went up 9 because it just seemed like Dallas was overwhelmed.

But seriously, amazing how resilient they are.  Every game with them.  I love this team.

Lebron James is to Wade

What Jerry Seinfeld is to Larry David.

FOR ALL THE NAY-SAYERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walsh Had Mark Jackson Pegged as a Future Coach

http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/walsh-had-mark-jackson-pegged-as-a-future-coach/
 

the thing though is every time he goes in the paint the defense collapses on him (Lebrons not that hard to figure out). 

the heat need to morph him into a more consistent 3pt/longjump shooter who will dunk on transition. Unlike some here I still don’t buy the he’s “clutch” or he’s a more “consistent” shooter, his shot has improved, yes but its not consistent imo.

Jerry and Larry won multiple Emmy’s.

the part about being in a sunny place with little pressure was made up by the Media and bloggers as a way to deflect criticism away from Donnie and Pringles.

Yea he loved him so much that he chose the worst coach in the history of sports at twice the price.

And was campaigning for a selleck stach  ext

DALLAS (AP)—For the first time with the Miami Heat, LeBron James(notes) didn’t score in double figures. That ended a streak that had been going on for so much longer for the standout forward.
James scored only eight points in the Heat’s 86-83 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the NBA finals Tuesday night, ending his streak of 433 consecutive games—regular season and playoffs included—of scoring in double figures. The last time he didn’t score at least 10 points was Jan. 5, 2007, when he had just eight points for Cleveland at Milwaukee.

Right but clearly Larry carried Jerry.

the fatal flaw of Donnie’s tenure.  He made his first decision his worst decision.

While Mark Jackson gets shot with Warriors, Mike D’Antoni is on borrowed time as coach of Knicks

Meet Knicks draft prospect Nikola Vucevic
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/5287/meet-knicks-draft-prospect-nikola-vucevic

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — If the Knicks make their first-round draft pick
based upon on genealogy and/or projected longevity, they may have found
their man on Tuesday.
Center Nikola Vucevic of Southern Cal was in the
house, giving the Knicks a firsthand look at the player who measured
taller than any other player (6-foot-11 3/4) at the NBA pre-draft camp
in Chicago — a 260-pound college junior who averaged a double-double
(17.1 points, 10.3 rebounds) last season in the Pac-10, the same league
the Knicks looked to in the second round a year ago when they plucked Landry Fields out of Stanford with the 39th pick.
Vucevic was born in Switzerland and raised in Belgium before he
moved to his father’s homeland, Montenegro, at age 13, before leaving
four years later to spend his senior year of high school in Simi Valley,
Calif. At USC, he played for former NBA head coach Kevin O’Neill and was teammates with DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors and Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls.
Vucevic’s father, Borislav, was a teammate of Drazen Petrovic on the 1985 Yugoslavian national team and spent 24 years — yes, 24, or three years more than Robert Parish’s NBA career — playing professionally in Europe.
And do you know how many games the elder Vucevic missed during those 24 years?
Zero.
“He really took care of his body, but I don’t know how he did that,”
Vucevic told ESPNNewYork.com. “He ate healthy — I remember that,
because when you’re a kid you don’t like all those healthy foods, and me
and my sister complained about it. A lot of vegetables and different
stuff. He also rested a lot, iced his body, he did a lot of stretching
and paid attention to warming up. As he got older he learned a lot about
how to take care of his body.”
The elder Vucevic played until he was 44, and Vucevic’s mother, Ljiljana, played for the Sarajevo club Zeljeznicar as well as the Yugoslavian national team.
Vucevic was especially impressive in an earlier workout for the
Charlotte Bobcats, dunking the ball in rapid succession — using two
balls, dunking first with the left hand, then with the right — 100
consecutive times. Vucevic said he was disappointed with the way he shot
the ball in his workout for the Knicks, who are still deciding whether
they want to address their glaring need at center through the draft or
through free agency.
Vucevic is ranked third among centers and is currently projected to be picked 25th overall by ESPN draft guru Chad Ford,
whose Mock Draft 4.0 will be published on Wednesday. (“He is rising,”
Ford told me in a text message.) Vucevic is also slated to hold workouts
for the 76ers and Nets, continuing a whirlwind tour in which scouts are
trying to establish exactly what differentiates Vucevic from Turkish
center Enes Kanter, who is projected as a top-5 pick.
(One difference is their vertical leaps, with Kanter’s at 28 inches and
Vucevic’s at 25 inches).
Among Vucevic’s best skills are his inside-out game. Two of his more
eye-opening measurements were his wingspan (7-foot-4 1/2) and his body
fat percentage (6.1). The biggest knock against him is whether he has
the toughness to compete against NBA centers.
He said when he was a teenager he tried to pattern his game after legendary Yugoslavian small forward Dejan Bodiroga, and since coming to America four years ago he has tried to emulate Tim Duncan.
“Coming here and making the change from European-style to
American-style [basketball] helped me a lot and made me a lot better,”
Vucevic said. “I think if I was playing in Europe I never would have
achieved the level I achieved playing college basketball. It was good
for me because I kind of got a mix of both — so I leaned to play tough,
aggressive and hard all the time, play fast on defense, and I think if I
put together my skill level and my aggressiveness and build on them
each year, I could be pretty good.”

No one ever said it’s what he believes and everyone who’s Mormon believes it, it was just speculation based on history of the beliefs.

If I were to question, not accuse, question whether or not a devout Catholic coming out of college was prejudiced towards homosexuals, would I be out of line to simply speculate, given the fact that such prejudice is evident through certain followers?  No, because it’s informed speculation.  It doesn’t always have to be an accusation.

No one said he is a racist, just questioned to what extent he believes in certain aspects of Mormonism.  It was an out loud thought that could have been briefly debated and put to rest had you not brought it up consistently in multiple subsequent posts.  Lay it to rest man, get back to basketball.

LeBron knows NY would have given him the A-Rod treatment until he won a ring. Some people just aren’t built for NY. He took the easy way out going to Miami. He’ll never be MJ but I don’t blame him for the move.

80% of this country is Christian. No one would think of assuming them all to be homophobic, anti-woman, anti-minority, or anything else. And HaS wasn’t being “speculative” at all. 

“If Jimmer is truly a Mormon…” – He is. Everyone knows he is. He is open about it.

“…wouldn’t that make him a racist?” – There is no speculation. It’s a statement of supposed fact. He is calling him a racist.

You give this HaS guy too much credit. Calling this simply stupid or misinformed is the best case scenario.

The funniest part is that he didn’t really look like him when he was younger and he’s looking less like him every day now. Why? Because Jim Carrey stopped aging and Carlisle didn’t. He was at peak Carrey-ness in Indiana but the hair loss and general aging has put him off a bit.

Conclusion: Jim Carrey is a vampire.

“According to a source, the Knicks are not expected to sign Jordan until after the lockout ends, figuring the new CBA will be more favorable to the team. But plans are in place for him to be in the rotation next season because of his low-post skill, size and ability to block shots — with Glen Grunwald likely still in place as interim president.”

Absolutely, I would buy into the second for him. That’s my favorite big of the draft.
