Normally I would think Kevin Martin was a good pick up, but he's been pretty injury prone lately.

Adam Silver kind of looks like what I imagine the Crypt Keeper would if he had his youth back. Look at those hands...

Sports Illustrated picked Miami and Lakers in the finals :roll:

They had the Sixers finishing in 8th in the conference :roll:

actually ... i think it's a great trade for the thunder ... they already signed durant, westbrook and ibaka to long term deals ... harden wanted max money ... they got 2 first rounders which are always valuable ...

Sixers gone run wild this year.

I agree with this. OKC couldn't maintain all 4 of them, and they managed to sign the three that will help them the most in the long run. The trio of KD, Westbrook, and Ibaka will be a strong one for a while, considering they all have a ton of room to grow as players and will do so together.

Houston just doesn't seem afraid to make trades in the name of hope. Harden is a proven player, but can he carry a team? Harden and Lin... something seems missing there. They'll be an interesting team to watch for sure.

Yeah, you've gotta feel good about getting rid of Asik and clearing space.

Now, to amnesty Boozer....

I had no problem with Asik, he is what he is. A solid defender that can block shots and rebound. Just don't ask him to do anything else, and don't over pay him.

I'd rather get rid of stacey king. even his nick names are getting stale. He used to call asik the turkish hammer...and the other night, i forget who it was, but he called somebody else the ____ hammer. :fp:

The Fixer

I know no one cares so this is the only fantasy post I'll make this year. 10 team league, have to start 7, 12 man roster. Here's my squad...I had third pick (which I consider the worst spot in draft -- don't get either of the big two and there's not much diff from 3 and 10).

Westbrook
Harden (maybe a reach but I think he blows up on new squad)
Marc Gasol
Bosh (my least favorite pick I made)
Jrue Holiday
Dirk (I don't mind taking injured guys...if he ends up healthy come xmas I think I have a good shot to repeat)
Gerald Wallace (don't love this pick either)
Nic Batum
Brook Lopez (steal here)
Collison
Favors (who sixers should have taken over evan turder)
Big Baby

Decent draft. Missed on a few picks, but if things go right I will be there in the end.
