What really kills me about the Mavs not getting Whiteside is they won't even meet with Howard. Either free Dirk or meet with Howard.

How many times do you have to pop to get kicked out? Don't they not even fine you until your third time or something? I thought the policy was super charitable, at least in the sense that it was super easy to get around.

Am I crazy for thinking the Pacers are right back to where they were pre PG-13 injury - the #1 contender to LeBron's team in the East???

I mean, we pushed Toronto to 7 games and we should be A LOT better next season and Toronto should be worse with a rookie center likely taking Biyombo's place in their rotation.

I'm guessing Indy's rotation at the moment would be:

STARTERS
C - Miles Turner
PF - Thad Young
SF - Paul George
SG - Monta Ellis
PG - Jeff Teague

BENCH
C - Al Jefferson
F - Lavoy Allen
G/F - CJ Miles
G - Rodney Stuckey

If only we could get a decent starting SG who could hit the 3 and make Ellis 6th man.

And that SG is Courtney Lee!

No you're not crazy. As long as the Celtics don't get better, maybe. There's always Miami too if/when Bosh and Wade come back.

So do the Nuggets even exist? Are they just a collective hallucination? They have something like $30 million in cap room now right?

nuggets don't really have a need other than a star and they can't get those in free agency. if they're smart they'll just stand pat and wait for better opportunities, their current roster could already slip into the playoffs if the mavs/grizzlies continue to fall off.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Could make a run at the #2 as it stands, but there is a wide gap to the Cavs. I'm still not very happy with the starting guards, that lineup is relying on Teague hitting 3's like he did last year and not the 5 years previous. Miles could start and shoot 3's, but he's been so streaky. Ellis will probably run the 2nd unit regardless, but I will feel much better if they can use the remaining space to get a SG like Lee or Johnson.

Donnie Nelson is only doing what ownership wants. The Mavericks really need to be called out on their poo poo drafting along with their terrible track record in free agency. After Dirk is gone we're back to 90's status around here.

If they're the #1 contender, the East is really bad (yet again) because they don't have a hope in hell of beating the Cavs in the playoffs next year even without Timofey "64 million dollar man" Mozgov.
