I traded grant hill for mo-pete and dropped jose calderon for tinsley. i am in a 12-man league. i know my team is injury prone but if all my guys stay healthy, how do u think i'll do?

What do y'all think of my nba fantasy team?nba draft

It's an ok team, not great but not terrible. It's true that you have a lot of injury prone players, but you should be ok if they can stay healthy. Here are my thoughts:

The grant hill for mo-pete deal was a bad move. Everyone on the Suns always has inflated stats because of their up-tempo system, and Hill will be no exception. Mo pete always has a low FG%, and there is no telling how many minutes he will get this year. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they cut his minutes to give more time to another player like Delfino.

Nocioni could also be a bust. He's a bench player and the Bulls have a crowded frontcourt between ben wallace, joe smith, tyrus thomas, luol deng, and joakim noah. His stats were pretty good last year, but I think they might drop this season.

Ridnour is another question mark because the Sonics may give most of the PG minutes to Earl Watson. Also, Tinsley is very unreliable and injury prone, so if he doesn't get off to a good start you may want to drop him. I would keep an eye on all these players and make some roster changes if they aren't playing well for you.

But there are some positives to this team. Your PF's and centers look really good, so you should be in good shape for blocks and rebounds. And you should get a lot of assists and steals from chris paul and mo williams.

I think scoring and three pointers will be the weaknesses of this team. You may want to bench nocioni or ridnour in favor of nachbar or mo pete... it all depends on which players get off to a hot start this week. And maybe look over the available free agents to see if there are any good 3-point shooters out there. Good luck!

What do y'all think of my nba fantasy team?ncaa ,nba teams

its ok
Average team. I see few 3's. Okafor is good but will kill your FT%. If they all stay healthy, you will finish middle of the pack 5-8.

By the way, Dunleavy is a great guy to send to the waiver wire and get someone else.
thats a good team but you need a superstar like steve nash or tony parker to lead your team. and btw what was your draft pick?
Its not that good u definitely need a superstar or a big scorer because u wont do to good without one. I would give it a 5/10. Who was your first pick what pick did you have and how many teams are in your league??
the biggest names there are Chris Paul and Yao Ming?

Don't get me wrong, they are good, but you have no true "big" stars.

I predict you will be at the bottom of the standings with that team.

This trade should make Miami a little better.?

BEN GORDON

WADE

MARION

BEN WALLACE

BLOUNT/MOURNING

This trade should make Miami a little better.?concert tickets

thats a good trade but miami's bench reserves suck which is another reason why they dont play that well. teams like the suns, mavericks and boston have good reserve players that can back them up. if wade or marion get injured there isn't any chance at all for miami. just like gilbert arenas being out the wizards are at least still a playoff team.

This trade should make Miami a little better.?nba sports ,nba teams

id hate to see J williams and Haslem go, but we need something right?
I don't think this gonna happen. The bulls wouldn't go for it giving up wallace and gordon for williams, haslem, parker?

Do it in pc or ps2 game... hehe
mourning is out for the whole season, and ben wallace isn't playing that well this season.
The Heat don't need Wallace because:

A: The Heat are is a halfcourt team anymore.

B: Wallace's contract is huge at 15 million with only 5 points and 8 rebounds a game, Shaq was more productive with his 20 million dollar contract at 14 points a game 8 rebounds despite not being healthy and neither is Wallace he's a poor man's Shaq. Along with that his contract has another 3 years on it. The Heat can get more for their money and wouldnt want to be stuck with him. Even Amare Stoudimire makes 11 mill with the Suns and he OWNS Wallace.

In addition I doubt the Bulls will give up Ben Gorden. I already know theyre trying to shop Ben Wallace around.
It wouldn't make them better. Gordon isn't a distributor. He, much like Wade is best suited at the 2 spot. Their frontcourt would be incredibly weak with absolutely no scoring. Ben Wallace isn't the same Big Ben from the Detroit days. Blount sucks, he can't catch anything inside and his defense is non existent.

They need help up front and at the point.
chicago's just starting to come around, and they have a history of being extremely bully after the all-star breaks. why would they want to jerk around now?
Yes but all they needed was a center.
It would make them better, but why would Chicago trade away the reason they are doing decent this year? Chicago would not benefit from this trade at all.

umm... NO u didnt need a center im sorry but horrid trade.

I just made a BLOCKBUSTER deal!!! NBA Fantasy H2H 9 category?nba spurs ,nba teams

you needed jamison, odom is an old timer.
Jamison is going to get you points AND rebounds. Redd will just get you points. Odom won't do anything with Kobe, Kobe, Kobe and Kobe on his team. Camby just rebounds. AI and 'Melo do all of the leg work. Sorry, but I think you were better off before the trade.

Regards,

Brandon
i think that was a good trade for h2h. camby will help you win blocks and steals more often despite losing two good players. it looks like you probably have been winning scoring already with kobe and iverson so this was a good deal.

i think you might have been able to get a better player than odom for this but he is pretty much the same as jamison when he's doing well.

What do you think of the NBA Eastern Conference for the 2007-2008 Season as of right now?

Will the pacers make the playoffs?

There is a rumor that K.G. is finally getting traded to Celtics. But could a team with Allen, Pierce, and K.G. do some damage?

What do you think of the NBA Eastern Conference for the 2007-2008 Season as of right now?nba all star game

The Eastern Conference will have largely the same crop of tough teams. Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland. Miami should rejoin the ranks of top teams in the east and the Celtics will if they do in fact trade for Garnett. I also expect Washington to compete this season if their roster can stay healthy. That would leave two more playoff spots open. One for New Jersey and one for Toronto. I don't think we will see the Pacers playing in the postseason.

What do you think of the NBA Eastern Conference for the 2007-2008 Season as of right now?knicks ,nba teams

Pacers... NO! but if KG goes to the celtics then o yeah. watch out East. but No one can beat the Pistons. so forget it
its still whack unless KG goes to da Celtics, and all da teams straighten up, its weak and da pistons win every year so if da EAST wunna strenghten up dey gotta keep da Pistons outta of da Playoffs kuz deir nothing but bandwagon
I think it is still much weaker than the West. The top two draft picks, and clearly the two best players in the draft both went out west. Iverson will be in Denver for a full year, I think the Clippers will rebound and be stronger than last year and the Spurs are still relatively young for all the success they have had. Also, I don't expect a first round exit by the Mavs again this year.

The K.G. deal isn't done yet and even if it was, I don't think he is the player he was five years ago. Still strong and effective, but chemistry is a huge thing on a team, Ray Allen has a big ego and I could see him and Garnett clashing. Personally I like the Pistons in the East next year; the Cavs won't sneak up on them like they did last year. But honestly, I still think the five best teams in the West are better than anybody in the East (Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets, and maybe the Jazz).
In the east that team looks like liquid gold how can you fail with three all-stars and one superstar in kevin garnett. But if the celtics give up allot of their young talent and don't win think of the factors to take into place.
The pacers probably not

And im pretty sure that KG is gon 2 the Nuggets its a 3 way trade w/ the celtics,twolves,and i think the nuggets but i could b wrong

Yeah they could do some damage.But if there on the celtics they will still suck cause the celtics they suck

But my fav team is the celtics it sad
no matter what happens, the cavs are still the team to beat.

GO CAVS!
is the grass green? you better bet they can do some MAJORdamage in 07 08 cant wait for the season to begin!
The east is weak. I see Miami coming out next year with if Wade stays healthy. But after that it is weak. If Boston gets Garnett like it is reported it is a done deal, they will jump to #2 in the East. A starting line up with Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce would top any line up in the East, Talent wise.
How are the Celtics going to get KG and keep Pierce and Allen? Who are they going to trade? The only other good player they have is Al Jefferson, and that's not enough to bring KG to Boston.

But if they somehow pull it off, Allen, Pierce, and KG would be a very formidable team. I see them getting to the Eastern Conference finals before losing to the Bulls.
Pacers?. No

K. G. is one of the best players of NBA, he'll help for Celtics.
The NBA eastern Conference is a joke!!!!! Did anybody see the spanking that cavs got? I hope that celtics do get garnett so the spurs put him and the crybabies allen, pierce in check. AGAIN!!!
the eastern conference SUCKS....

if you had to pick the 16 BEST teams in the playoffs at least 10 would be western

the top 4-5 teams in the west can probably beat EVERYBODY in the east

the KG trade makes sense if you plan to win in 1 or 2 years, but after that, its useless... pierce is about 30 now, allen and garnett are INTO their 30s, you essentially have no cap flexibility and all your money tied up in three aging guys who won't be as good as in their prime but being paid as if they still are (see: shaq)... if no injuries occur however, that threesome can make some noise next year and the year after that

the pacers will NOT make the playoffs for the next few years because larry bird must have took classes from the Isiah Thomas School of Boneheaded GM Moves...

he gives up a FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK IN A LOADED DRAFT for..... AL HARRINGTON?!

then TRADES HARRINGTON?! (essentially giving up the pick for nothing, good call)

him and stephen jackson for MIKE DUNLEAVY AND TROY MURPHY?! okay, character counts and all, but compared to jackson and harrington, THOSE GUYS SUCK

man ron artest absolutely DESTROYED THAT FRANCHISE
Yes. Allen is great at downtown shots, KG is a great rebounder and great at shooting, Pierce is pretty good at steals and all the other stuff!

1 problem, it is almost impossible to get pass Detroit, and Cleveland!!!
miami, cleveland, detriot ,boston ,nj,bulls, magic and nicks
There champion will be just another team for the west to sweep in the finals.
pacers wont make the playoffs all the have is jermaine o'neal
it doesnt really matter because the spurs are winning it all again

What team walked away from the NBA Draft last night, the most improved?

Take into account any/all trades as well.

What team walked away from the NBA Draft last night, the most improved?sports tickets

pheonix they did not dfaft anyone but theygot rid of big contracts of briant grant and now have cap to sign diaw and barbsosa

What team walked away from the NBA Draft last night, the most improved?concert tickets ,nba teams

Portland and Charlotte Portland made SIX trades and came out with great players and CHarlotte got Morrison the leading scorer in all ofcollegebaskketball.
portland. they were horrible last year. anything would be an improvement
the mavericks
Portland, definitely. The Jazz did well to get Brewer at 14th, too. CBS Sportsline gave them an A+, the only team to get that grade.
the knicks
The Charlotte Bobcats

How good do you think my nba live 06 roster is?

I was the 28th pick in the fantasy draft. It's just a season not a dynasty. The team is the Charlotte Bobcats.

Rasho Nesterovic

Chris Webber

LeBron James

Michael Redd

Earl Boykins (traded for him)

Tim Thomas

Ronald Murray

Leandro Barbosa

Hakim Warrick

Jarett Jack

Jason Kapono

Jason Collins

Darius Songaila

Luther Head

Mark Blount

How good do you think my nba live 06 roster is?nba draft picks

PG - Leandro Barbosa

SG - Michael Redd

SF - LeBron James

PF - Chris Webber

C - Rasho Nesterovic

Looks GREAT to me. LeBron would be his dominate self. Barbosa would run a solid point and would get out in the open court with LeBron. Redd would nail his spot-up three's. Chris Webber and LBJ would run a nice pick%26amp;pop/pick%26amp;roll. Rasho would rebound and eh...rebound. I guess the center is where you screwed up.

Strength: Cemistry. Something tells me this team can work together very nicely.

Weakness: Rebounding. Rasho and Webber aren't the most athledic front line.

Overall: Great! Championship contending team.

How good do you think my nba live 06 roster is?nba playoffs ,nba teams

Looks pretty decent. Nesterovic isn't the best Center however, so you might want to trade him and another bench player for a better center.

Keep in mind. When you are doing a Fantasy draft there are certain things you should look for. When I draft I try to get to most versatille players like Wade. He can play PG or SG. I also look for players that I can draft and then trade for someone else.

Usually when you do a fantasy draft there is a rush on a certain position such as Center. Use that to your advantage. Draft players at different positions. Remember, PF also play pretty good at Center.

Good Luck!
****
blah.
I think only James and Redd will be the most important player in ur team. Thomas will be just a back-up becoz he can shoot three but low on defense, but still he can be vital. The rest, Webber (former all-star, now a no star),Rasho etc. Are just supporting cast for James and Redd. Here's an analysis: Offense: 85% Defense: 55%.When either Redd or James will be injured.Offense will go down as well as defense. But good news ur team could reach the playoffs but, not the finals if and only if ur two superstars will be healthy for the season's remainder. Good Team though over-all--80%. Now here's my NBA'06 Live Dream Team for the season, my team will be the Philadelphia 76ers:

C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

PF Tim-Duncan

SF Larry Bird

SG Reggie Miller

PG Allen Iverson

W.Chamberlaine

M.Malone

M.Johnson

A.Houston

I.Thomas

P.Maravich

U see its few, but its offense and defense are so powerful. "I wish MJ was around as well as the Dream, they were once member of my roster" Sigh""!!!!
Mine is better. but it was for Live 05 and it took me 5 years on the game to build.

but, yes that is an amazing starting roster

C) Shaq

PF) Garnett

SF) LeBron

SG) McGrady

PG) Baron Davis

2nd team

C)Gasol(moves to roster one whem Shaq retires)(replacement is Cris Bosh, Shaq was traded for him before he retired)

PF) Kirlenko

SF) Melo

SG) Wade

PG) Arenas

I was the master of all trades. I did not cheat at all and started with the origanal roster of the Charolotte Bobcats. I chose them because they had young talent(good for trading), lots of cap space, and players with expiring contracts. I was so good I could trade for anyone. It took me only five years on the game to get this roster and I only traded for a couple of those guys in the first year because I was mainly waiting for contracts to expire. Then in the offseason I would hire good free agents, as many as I could and group some together in packages and trade them for a better player. Sometimes I had to trade three of mine for one player and then take that one player and group him with two other free agents that I had hired and trade them for the player I wanted. It was really hard but I became an expert at it. I had to be in order to get a roster like that.
Le Bron James is a ball hog don't go with that dude . Earl Boy kins don't even think about trading him that dude is good at 3-point shooting . you need Vince Carter, Kobe, Wade,Wallace,Now there are true ballers !!!!!!!! Holler!!!!!!
your team is okay
u have a solid team there, and it will be good if u jus stick to buyin training sessions for all of ur young players. i had hakim warrick in my dynasty and i kept buyin him upgrades for his dunking, and by season 3 he had the freestyle high flying ability and i wuz able to do sum nasty dunks, so stick wit tht team, it has a TON of potential.

This trade?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

makes sense. chicago gets cap space and lakers get a center

This trade?nba live

this is a wonderful trade. Sam smith, kc johnson(chicago bulls beat writers) have all harped on this trade but i don't think the Bulls will make this deal, which is very stupid! B.C as u said they get great cap relief and get rid of an over payed scrub who averages 4 points and at best 9 rebounds.

This trade?tv on pc ,nba teams

Wallace really isn't that good. He is highly overrated. Maybe if he applied himself once a year....
Hell no, simply because WE DON"T WANT KWAME BROWN
I think Wallace will be an all-star with the Lakers for a long time

I like that trade

But what happens with Odom when he comes back?

Wallace at power forward...... Odom in the middle and Kobe bringing up the ball?

Wow

I see titles
At least us laker fans say bye to Kwame Clown Brown
I don't think it makes much sense for either side.

It will cripple the Lakers salary cap wise until Big Ben's contract expires and they are already set long term at C/PF with Bynum and Odom. While Wallace will help cover Bynum's absence this season he will be a $15mill per year back up from then on!

Brown's has a bad contract taht is about to expire and the last thing the lakers want to do is replace it with an even worse contract.

For the Bulls it would give them cap space but I don't think they're written off this year quite yet. Yeah, they've been bad but they're only 2 games out of the playoffs in the east and the teams ahead of them Atlanta, Indiana and New Jersey aren't exactly jauggernauts.

Getting Brown or Radmanovic wont address the need for a post scorer which is their biggest weakness.
what a stupid trade for both teams! nobody wants to take ben wallaces money! and no one wants kwame brown! not even his own mother!just kidding but it wouldn't make a lick of sense
That's not so much a trade as it is an accounting maneuver. I know what you're getting at, but I don't think it helps either team out appreciably, especially since none of the players helps the new team much until Kwame's contract comes off the books.

#1 trade (lakers suns grizzlys)?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

#1 trade (lakers suns grizzlys)?nba history

Not good at all. Bynum aint going anywhere, Kobe wont either, especially if they keep on wining this way. They'll be like 4th in the West and Kobe will stay and give the Lakers a chance to get that 3rd\4th guy to help them get a ring.

#1 trade (lakers suns grizzlys)?nba trade ,nba teams

its a pretty fair trade, except for the Grizzlies. Other then that everyone is pretty good.
naw dont like it...agree why still trying to trade kobe he will remain a Laker(luckily)
that is a bad trade

and the grizzlies get nothing back
you doesnt know anything about bball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just suck you dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are we STILL trying to trade kobe? He aint going anywhere,.
OKAY IM CONFUSSED DID THIS TRADE GO DOWN? AND IF SO WHY TRADE KOBE AND SHAWN? WTF
bad trade

Good Trade???

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

The Heat are giving cash to the warriors

Good Trade???nba records

It is an awesome trade. The Heat WILL be unstoppable if this trade happens.

Good Trade???nba championships ,nba teams

NO TERRIBLE TRADE. they wouldnt give up ellis for the world, let alone haslem and wright. u are a stupid heat fan that has posted five thousand "questions" from your stupid trade machine all to give up haslem and/or walker. stop it its annoying and they are all terrible trades. Report It


No. With Shaq in decline and 'Zo on his last legs the Heat cannot afford to give up Haslem for Harrington. Harrington is more of a perimeter player and his game is similar to that of Antoine Walker's. They need Haslem in the post to pick up the slack when Shaq goes down because 'Zo cannot do it any more.

Getting Ellis does not make a ton of sense for the Heat since he is basically a smaller version of Wade in the sense that he is more comfortable at the 2 than he is running the point.
hahahahah... no!
warriors wont do that
even with the cash monta ellis is a rising star
Horrible trade for the Warriors.

Monta Ellis is emerging as a great shooting guard, while Al Harrington is perfect for Don Nelson's coaching system as a center.

Dorell Wright hasn't done anything in the league, and Udonis Haslem is not a good fit for the Warriors. Andris Biedrins will probably be better than Haslem next year anyways.
Warriors are not going to do this trade. they are going to give monte ellis a rising star and Al Harrington who can score inside and outside and play the PF and SM from time to time just to get Haslem who is close range shooter and for dorell wright who hasnt done much or either play much.

Ellis( average 16) and Harrington( average 16 ppg) can both score consistantly for Haslem( average 10) and Dorell Wright (6 ppg).

If this trade works, Heat has to give atleast 2 million or more cash for Warriors to give up a rising star and reliable scorer for 2 guys who cannont be compared to them.
bad trade for the warriors

i see the cash but monta ellis can be very good and al harrington can still play...sometimes
The Warriors get ripped off.

Another Trade for the Cavs what do you think?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

Another Trade for the Cavs what do you think?nba champions

decent trade. but a bettr 1 would be if the cavs threw in larry hughes and the kings threw in kevin martin

Another Trade for the Cavs what do you think?nba spurs ,nba teams

Love the trade
Oh man! You got me all exited for nothing... That would be a good deal if it worked, I think...

Too bad it isn't the news
awesome trade for cavs, average for kings.... Cavs need that trade in order (hopefully) to beat us Detroit or Boston. without a trade, they won't make it pass 2nd or 3rd round of playoff this year.

This trade would be awsome?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

This trade would be awsome?nba all star game

im going to go ahead and guess you are a blazers fan lol no i really dont think this could happen. maybe the blazers could get a guy like amare from the suns..but they would have to give up a whole lot for him..maybe even greg oden.

This trade would be awsome?knicks ,nba teams

Nash, and Stoudimire with Oden, Frye and Brandon Roy, Now the Trail Blazers are Ones not to mess with.
Steve Kerr makes this trade, he will get hanged by Phoenix fans. Besides, why put Amare and greg oden on the same team.

Do you actually think this will happen? (honest question)
No way!!!!!!!!!

this one is better for the blazers n more realistic

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...
...for Blazers fans such as yourself...
U R A RETARD for thinking of something like this.
Ray that trade wouldn't even happen! You are crazy, the other teams would now that all Portland is doing is giving up Lafrentz and getting Joe Johnson. A rip off for the other teams!

Also the Suns aren't idiots!!!
Im a diehard phoenix fan..and I hate to see a@@holes like you make up shitty trades
ill answer your question with an answer

who is daruis miles??

what has he done durning his career?
WOW! Completely lopsided and unnecessary. Clearly a Portland fan and would never happen.
buddy stop dreamin that will never happen
NO THNX 4 DA 2 POINTS THOUGH

If kobe joined your NBA team?

Would you stop hating him?

i know i wouldnt because he already plays for my team so i love him anyway : )

but just for you people that "hate" him, would you hate him if he got traded to your team? I THINK NOT!

If kobe joined your NBA team?pro basketball

Great question, most of em out there are probably going to say they still would, but they know it wouldn't hurt to have the best player on their team.

If kobe joined your NBA team?nba history ,nba teams

Well, yes, because if Kobe joined the Cavs we would dominate everyone in the league, so I would be alright with it.
I don't hate him, I just don't like him, I nothing him. If he did come to my team (suns) we would win the championship sweeping through the playoffs
Nah i wouldnt hate him more coz i would hate da managerof da cavs Dan Ferry for buyng him
people just "hate" him cuz he is on the best team in the n.b.a.

plus everyone is jealous of him
no rape is bad end of story
Why is Kobe hated by most people?

It's not his playing, but I think when he lambasted Bynum and demanded a trade on TV/Video in the off season. And even calling Mitch, his boss actually, certain names. That is a very not good in terms of professionalism.

Players are still employees who are still to follow directions from their bosses like Mitch Kupchak, Phil Jackson and most importantly Jerry Buss.

So, it's about respect that's lacking in him.
i never hated kobe

but yeah i wish he played for my team
IDK .. i have him in my team and i am pretty happy with it .. ! i dont know what the hater thinks tho !
no i would h8 him egven more
NOPE I WILL NEVER EVER WAT HIM ON MY TEAM NO LIE NO JOKE / IM NOT JUST SAYING THIS I MEAN IT KOBE SUX AND WILL ALWAYS SUK

How many teams in the NBA actually want Kobe?

Asking because of his attitude towards the Lakers, and wanting a trade!

How many teams in the NBA actually want Kobe?nba 2k8

None but he was Drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1st round (13th pick) of the 1996 NBA draft and then traded to the Lakers for Vlade Divac before the season started.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

How many teams in the NBA actually want Kobe?nba mvp ,nba teams

The Charlotte Bobcats
not many
Any G.M. that takes Kobe, just bought a ticket to Unemploymentville.
honestly none for his personality just his selfish talent well then it adds up to about all of them lol.... id say my bulls are the front runners unfortuantly id rather get another superstar

thanks

~Cherokee74
Everyone in the NBA would want Kobe. No matter how bad he was or is, every GM would tell you they can change him or make him happy. Take a look at Terrell Owens. That idiot got THREE CHANCES. Even if he was cut by the Cowboys tomorrow, someone would give him a chance because of his talent. It's the same with Kobe. His talent overshadows his attitude.
none
The vast majority of NBA teams would love to have him for one simple reason...$$$$$$$$$$$$. The man puts asses in seats and sells jerseys. The majority of NBA owners couldn't care less if he is a selfish prick, if he increases the bottom line, they want him.
Not sure if any team can afford Kobe.
Although it would be hard for almost any team to take Kobe's max contract, there wouldn't be any reason why anyone in the league wouldn't want the best player in the world right now.
the whole league but they wont risk trading there core for kobe, so the lakers are pretty much screwed if we dont get KG.
all of them
most of them
You're kidding me,right?Kobe is like one of the best players in the game.If he shows sincerity towards the other teams they would kill to have him!

Doesnt this '07-08 NBA season seem like a mess?

well the celtics are the biggest/oldest surprise of the year because well we all knew this championship team was coming after ray allen and kg got traded..okay then there are the pistons-they always do great..but after those 2 east seeds, their records really suck compared to the west..i mean the cavs: 41-31? wtf they suck! and they are in the playoffs still? the rest of the east records are disgusting as well..the miami heat who won a champioship not even 2 years ago are now facing the lottery with what 12 wins? thats a true disgrace!

in the west, the mavericks who hav been awesome [in reg season] the past 7 years are suddenly fighting for their lives to gain a potential playoff spot...they had a historic 67 win season and now 7th seed this year with their best player injured...and now suddenly all top west teams are struggling to keep their playoff seeds because a 3 game losing streak can place you at 10th seed...doesnt this seem very messy and wierd!?

Doesnt this '07-08 NBA season seem like a mess?nba warriors

I wouldn't call it a mess, I understand what you are talking about, a 50 win team who would be 3rd or 4th in the east could miss the playoffs if they are in the west, it's crazy.

A team in the west going through a little 3 game winning streak could fall out of the playoffs even though they were like the 2nd seed before.

And check out the east, Celtics, great, Pistons, always been great, Magic, pretty good.

Starting at the Cavs, like you said, they suck, so one conference is just awesome, while the other just can't match up.

Doesnt this '07-08 NBA season seem like a mess?nba records ,nba teams

YEEEESSS

i wish lakers are first.

but the east have it easy, west doesnt
well this section of yahoo answers are a mess right now. very boring,no good questions or answers. i come on this board looking for humor but right now it's very serious and boring
It is no surprise how the mavs are doing since the kidd trade, they suck. What really surprises me is that a team in the will win 50 and go home after the regular season.
march madness of NBA
It's actually great. Parity has been good for the league. In the west New Orleans has been pleasant to watch. All the trades that has happened. I hate L.A., but having them back as championship contenders again is fun. Shaq and Kobe as opposites in the same division makes for upcoming interesting drama. 9 teams separated by 3 to 4 games for 8 playoffs spots. Houston's winning streak. Denver's high scoring assault. Utah's precision offensive attack. Golden State's electricity. Those scrappy Dallas Mavericks who aren't going to give up without Dirk...Oh! And lets not forget...The San Antonio Spurs for being...well...The San Antonio Spurs.

In the east, we have the Boston Celtics after years of futility are back with the best record in the league. The Pistons who seem to be the only team that can beat Boston are better than last season. Orlando who is better than last year. Philadelphia who is on a tear and seems like a team who can shake things up in the east come playoff time. Chris Bosh who is back with Toronto. And don't forget Cleveland, for some strange reason Cleveland apparently "sucked" last season but they still made through Detroit and on to the finals.

These teams dont suck. They are just beating up on each other. It's parity. It's great. It's the way basketball in April and May should be...with no clear cut favorite to win it all. I love it.
well the Miami heat played well 2 years ago because of SHAQ. He was thhe most dominating player in the NBA! Dwayne wade played better in in 2005 and 2006 but now he isn't that great but he is still pretty good.

KG would have a big impact on the celtics with pierce but I wouldn't compare Ray allen a superstar. Jason Kapono, 3 point foot locker consecutive champion leads the league with 3 point percentage goals , according to stats he's way better than Allen but just because he is older has more expierence and is considered the 3rd best player on the best team doesn't mean he is that great.

I don't know why he was in the 08 all star game.

The Mavs have obviously had problems due to their franchise player Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, who WAS right behind Steve Nash is now 4th in the league according to assists.

As for the cavs, lebron james has become a one man show, no matter how great he is, he still needs to play as a team.

Either that, or his teammates just suck.

And the West hasbeen pretty vigorous latel due to the Suns, spurs, Lakers and especially the Rockets because of their 22 game winning streak. Kobe I guess has finally matured and has decided to play as a team which made them one of the best in the West.

Bryant should definetly deserve MVP this year, How could the future jordan who has been in the league for more than a decade not win a single MVP award?

cuz he was a ball hog.

But now I thiink he finally deserves it

Anyway, I hope this helped.
not a mess dude, its fun. trades, teams changing on the go, wild teams like GS and NO doing well, mark cuban getting close to suicidal, who could ask for more?
Well as a Lakers fan i can careless about seedings as long as the Lakers are a 100% heathy nobody can beat them!!Plus the NBA wants a Celtics vs Lakers Finals so watch all the good calls go there way come playoffs time!!

Sorry about your Mav's they will be on the outside looking in come playoff time!!But hey some good can come from this !!This years draft should very deep!!So with any luck at all they should get a good player!!So keep your head up!!Anything can happen when the ping pong balls drop!!
It wont be like this next year

The lakers should trade kobe simply because they arnt going anywhere with him so get rid of him and you will be better off.
Good for the Lakers but let's face it Memphis would never do this trade. Why would Memphis (or anyone) want Kwame Brown for anyone? Let alone Gasol?
never, gasol is all memphis has. no way they part with him.

Odom vs Kobe. Who's better?

Kobe missed 23 games since Shaq left. Lakers recorded 15-8. The 2007 season alone was 7-4.

Odom missed 46 games since joining the Lakers. Without Odom, Lakers recorded 19-27.

The record clearly shows that Odom is making more impact than Kobe is. Without Kobe, Lakers can still win. Without Odom, the Lakers are totally lost. The fans may call it Kobe's team, but the players probably know it's Odom's team. They work well together without Kobe, and it no wonder why.

Don't trade Odom, trade Kobe. The record says it all. Odom is better for the team. Hopefully, he stays healthy for the next 3 years.

P.S. Odom is the only player in NBA to average better than 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists.

Odom vs Kobe. Who's better?nba gear

Many people are saying Kobe doesn't have enough help but they are forgetting how valuable Lamar Odom is. I'll make this bold claim, fast and direct. If Jordan had Odom and not Scottie Pippen on his previous championship team, the Bulls would still become a dynasty. That's how good and underappreciate Mr. Odom really is ,so I feel ya on this.

Odom vs Kobe. Who's better?nba finals 2007 ,nba teams

lol, dman your irrational kobe hatred knows no bounds
ARE YOU ON DRUGS..KOBEEEEEE
is this even a question??? why ?
That's absurd. Odom is a good player. Bryant is an all-time great.
Kobe is better but odom is more an all around type of player..like he's a big man who can handle the ball, defend the post etc. Point Forward type of player(scottie Pippen)
You're joking, right ? People compare Kobe and LeBron, Kobe and Wade, and among the all-time greats, Kobe and Jordan. And you're comparing Kobe to Odom ? Please. Odom is certainly a solid all-round player, but he's nothing compared to Kobe. He has never made the All-NBA teams. Kobe is a perennial on the All-NBA 1st Team and Defensive- 1st Team . Kobe is always top 3 in MVP voting. Odom does'nt even make the top 20. And you want stats ?

Kobe : ///////////// Odom:

31.6 ppg / / 15.9 ppg

5.4 apg / / 4.8 apg

5.7 rpg / / 9.7 rpg

1.5 spg / / 1.0 spg

0.6 bpg / / 0.6 bpg

Also, if Kobe is traded, the Lakers won't even make the playoffs. Kobe and Lamar pack a solid 1-2 punch, and next season if both are still on the Lakers and both remain healthy throughout the season, the Lakers definitely have a title shot.

But questions like whether Lamar is better than Kobe just make me laugh. If it was LeBron vs Kobe it would be a heated discussion, but in this case its not even a debate.

Kobe is the best player IN THE LEAGUE, hands down.
The record stats tell it all...
kobe is more skilled and better but odom may make a impact back stage
kobe
Well thats the dumbest question I've heard today
Stop hating on Kobe and stop answering your questions, you pathetic hater!
Oden
81 point game is a perfect example of the lakers needing kobe, they were down by 17 and lamar was in control until kobe returned, and they won by 18 because of kobe.
lol!!! KOBE!!!!!!!!
"Who's better" really depends on what you mean by "better." Like someone said, Kobe is more skilled and Odom might have a stronger impact on his team as a whole.

However, this argument is somewhat illogical. There could be way too many confounding variables with the facts. Plus, the games Kobe wasn't there aren't near as many as the games Odom has missed. The players were different during these different periods of time these players were missing if that makes sense. Like I said, there are too many outside variables that could change the results.

I heard Ron Artest might be traded to the Knicks so what about this trade?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

I heard Ron Artest might be traded to the Knicks so what about this trade?nba draft prospects

IF the Knicks were to get Artest, and that's a big IF, then they wouldn't be getting other pieces in addition. They would have to include David Lee, like you did, but Isiah has said that David Lee is close to untouchable. Jamal Crawford would have to be moved also, which is exactly what you had. The Knicks would also be smart to try to unload Quentin Richardson, but unfortunately I can't think of any team that would be willing to take him from the Knicks. Oh yeah, and no team would take Jerome James and his ridiculous long-term contract.

You did a nice job compiling the package the Knicks would give up, just not a realistic package they would receive in return.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

This trade is a little more likely, the Knicks would give up those two players and Kelvin Kato's expiring contract, which could be enough to tempt the Kings to unload Artest. Acquiring Artest isn't as unlikely as some may think, Isiah would just have to be willing to create a true team chemistry nightmare.

I heard Ron Artest might be traded to the Knicks so what about this trade?nba 2k ,nba teams

I love Ron Artest, he's a Queens kid.

But you must be out of your mind if you think the Knicks will trade David Lee....
I think it's a possibility if the Kings are trying to unload contracts and acquire young new players.
i dont like that trade much but artest would fit in well in New York im sure they would like some1 who could give them a dozen fist fights a season
Apparently, Isiah is trying to turn the Knicks into the NBA version of the Raiders...a bunch of wayward malcontents that no other team will take...

Let's see some of the potential talent on next year's Knick's roster

g: Stephon Marbury. The most overrated "Star" player in NBA history. This guy has never done anything to earn his big paycheck...but he'd tell you he's the Man.

g: Jamal Crawford. Flunked out of college. Never saw a shot he didn't like. Never plays defense.

f: Artest. Do we need to get into this nutjob's history?

f: Zach Randolph. If he could stop smoking dope, he may actually become a great player. I said GREAT.

c: Eddy Curry. Imagine if this guy gave a $#!+ about basketball...
NO WAY, THOSE KNICKS PLAYERS ARE ALL SCRUBS
David Lee will not be traded for anyone!

Just trade him for Jamal Crawford......
Won't happen. Geoff Petrie loves Quincy Douby. I would like to see the Kings get rid of Shareef though. He's been useless lately and Kenny Thomas is a better player anyway. How 'bout this trade? http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

Could this trade work?

Could this trade work?nba power rankings

Yes, this trade passed the trade machine, but it won't work, nor will it happened. This is too many players being moved to be realistic.

Could this trade work?nba ballers ,nba teams

ya, it was passed by the trade machine
moving the amount of players isn't the problem, its the players being traded. raptors won't give up tj ford cuz's he was getting better before his injury. Denver doesn't need andre miller, they have said they were happy w/ carter and when atkins comes back they don't need that many PG. I don't think the nuggets would give up camby for barganani or not yet cuz as of now camby is a consistent player and he's a defensive beast... 7 blocks tonight as well as getting a triple double from blocks points and rebounds. btw just cuz the trade machine says its ok, thats just salaries and amount of players on each team

Would this trade help?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

Miami- they get all of the players they need. they throw ricky and white chocolate for some pretty good players.

Memphis- they get 1 expiring contract. add that to kwame brown.

Denver- they get a point guard

Dallas- they get two expirong contracts and a pretty good point guard

Would this trade help?nba ballers phenom

That would be a great deal for Miami but this is highly unlikely to happen. The other teams don't really get much value for what they are giving up.

Would this trade help?2006 nba draft ,nba teams

denver doesnt get enough but the rest is good maybe this will be good

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

or

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...
dallas doesnt need expirings, theyre a good team already, theyd much rather keep terry over quinn and williams

jr smith%26gt;%26gt;smush

heat get too good of a deal

i guess its alright for memphis
Great trade but the heat probably dont want darko and they arent going to give up Dequan Cook Also Denver wont give up JR for smush wont happen.
You are a heat fan, the heat will give up just chris quinn(not that good, jayson williams(prime is done, he is washed up), smush parker(not a value, you cant even get a 2nd round pick of him), ricky davis(not someone who you should all nuts for), they get mike miller, darko, jr smith, and jason terry.

So dallas give away jason terry for 2 players that terry is better than. Nuggets get nobody off them just smush parker.

Memphis gets ripped of by trading away their superstar in miller and denever gets no love.

If you do the trade machine, at least do it where team gives away a superstar to gain another beside how one team give away a star for some scums
one, denver does not need a point guard, 2 they would not trade J.R for and get smush parker... never would happen

Can this trade work?

Will this work:

Can this trade work?nba live 2008

to simply answer your question, no. i dont think neither corey maggette nor jamario moon will get traded by their teams, and then you put 7 other people into the trade, too many people

Can this trade work?nba live 2005 ,nba teams

if it works, Clippers are giving up a lot, I mean, Maggette, Mobley, Thomas, they are their mean guys.

But the Raptors could still survive fine without Ford, Moon, Nixon and a bunch of others.
yes
NO
trying to dumb salary on the clippers huh? it wont happen though
i don't imagine Cory and cuttino going to the New york nicker Bockers's but that would be a smart move but Isaiah will not trade anyone.
i think it can worked
no, that's a disgrace to the raptors

Try Checking this trade if it will work?knicks

If I was Larry Bird I would do it in a heart beat. It helps out most of the teams expect the Lakers because want people that can help them win now and not in 4-7 years.

Suns would be able to keep up with S.A if they had K.G.

Timberwolves been asking for alot more for K.G. but I think they would do it if they had a couple of picks.

Great trade but it won't happen. I would rate it a 8.5 out of 10

Try Checking this trade if it will work?sports ,nba teams

hmmm i would give this trade a 7/10

that looks good tho as phoenix and lakers get their men

but

i dunno if phoenix would want to part with BOTH diaw and stoudamire to get KG

and if Lakers would give up bynum, odom AND cook for Jermaine O'neal...im sure the lakers would give up those 3 for KG but not that many key guys for Jermaine O'neal tho

not a bad trade tho...it could work
the suns wouldt package amare and boris for garnett they like garnett but not that much
i dont think the lakers would do anything that helps the Suns especially if theyr gettin KG
Possibly, possibly could happen because Larry Bird is an alright GM, and Steve Kerr is like a bad GM so like......

Yes this is a good trade.
I love this trade, but Phoenix is over the cap limit so they wouldnt be able to give other teams money
You need to trade kobe first to make the Lakers better.

But you don't have enough brain cells to know that.

You are right it would not work, just like your brain does not.

What will the Hawks do in the NBA draft?

List picks for #3, #11 or if you think there will be a trade, put it in detail.

What will the Hawks do in the NBA draft?nba finals

Pick 3- Mike Conley, Jr.

They need a good point guard, and a guy who can drive like no one's business, pass very well, and fly down the court and up to the rim, so he's perfect for their Suns-like offense.

Pick 11- Al Thornton

Scouts are comparing him to Shawn Marion, except with a bit more offensive firepower. Perfect to fit into the fastbreak offense at power forward.

What will the Hawks do in the NBA draft?college football ,nba teams

theyre gonna get Al Horford at #3 and Acie Law at #11
Wow.........ok I guess here goes...

First, they will NOT trade any of those picks that they have, only because they do need depth. With that being said, here goes..

With the 3rd pick, they will either take Mike Conley Jr. (The PG from Ohio St.) because they do need a guard to compliment Joe Johnson, Yi Jianlan (6'11 PF/C from China), because he is a big man, Al Horford (6'10 PF/C from Florida), same as Jianlan or Brandon Wright (6'8 F from UNC), only cause he is an athlete (with a 7'6 wingspan). However, seeing as how they already have too many big men, and not enough small men (also seeing how they passed up on C.Paul, D.Williams, M.Williams, etc....) they are going to take a guard here. With that, the 3rd pick from the Hawks will be Mike Conley Jr.

With the 11th pick, they can almost take anyone here. ALMOST ANYONE THAT IS NOT A GUARD OR A SMALL FORWARD (Because they have enuff of both now)Here is who might be left here: Spencer Hawes, Joakim Noah, Yi Jianlan. Seeing as how they just might want a big man, they will probably go with either Hawes first, Noah second, Jianlan third, or the best big man on the board that is left.
**** the hawks!!
i think they will take mike conley jr with the #3 pick and spencer hawes with the #11

that will give them a starting 5 of:

PG-Conley

SG- Joe Johnson

SF- Josh Childress

PF- Marvin Williams

C- Sheldon Williams

that would also let Josh Smith be a Ben Gordonesque type of player: closer

if M. Williams turns out to be a bust like I think he will, Hawes could slide into the starting lineup at C and move Sheldon to PF where he wont be undersized at 6'9"
Billy knight's head is on the table if he doesnt get the guys this team needs to win. With the 3rd pick they need to take hortford because he is nba ready and can contribute immediatley. He would also give the hawks a post prescence that they have been missing for years. With the 11th pick they HAVE to get a point guard. I see some of these mock drafts with them drafting brandon or julian wright. BAD CHOICE!!! they do not need any more wing players for the next 5 years. They need to take acie law because he has chauncey billups potential. The hawks can be real competators in the east real soon if they take hortford and law. Their lineup will be athletic and versatile and will be hard to beat once they let all the young players develop.
at # 3 I think they will either take Horford or Noah. Problbly Horford there because they lack a solid post presense. at #11 if Conley Jr. can fall that far it would be great as he would be a steal for a team that lacks a PG. if he's gone i see them taking the experianced Acie Law IV there.
I'm saying Horford at 3 and Acie Law at 11.

Horford is a strong and athletic big man who can really help the team. Acie Law is a great point guard who was the leader of his team last year. They should both have great rookie seasons.
they need to get Yi and connelly jr. if they do they will make the playoffs in the east within 2 years. yi is going to be an allstar if used right, and connelly will be a good starting point guard for many years. connelly will never be an all star but yi has championship caliber player type ceiling.
Atlanta definitely holds all the keys to the draft. The number 3 pick is the swing pick. With that said, Billy Kinght doesnt know what to do with it. So, trade to pick to Portland along with Josh Childress, and matching contract for Lamarcus Alridge, Zach Randolph who the Blazers seem to want to give up for cheap. Then at the 11, take Acie law over Crittenton. Acie Law is the most NBA ready point guard, with room to improve. Only thing is Crittenton is from Georgia tech, which might persuade Billy Knight to take him. But think of the starting lineup they could field if they pckage that 3rd pick. and there in the east to remind people.

pg - acie law

sg - joe johnson

sf - josh smith

pf - zach randolph

c - lamarcus alridge

bench

speddy claxton

marvin williams

zaza
Agree with GSBARON, they take Hortford or Wright with the 3rd and then go PG with the 11th, Law or Conley, Jr., whom will not be available. Can't see the Hawks burning the third pick to get COnley, Jr., who although a good player is not that far above the potential of Crittenton and Law's experience. Very easily see Conley if passed at 3 going to the Celtics, they have Telfair, Rondo and West but neither Rondo or West are true PGs and Telfair is supposedly GONE. A lot of the Celtics pick revolves on if they can make some trades and the health of Allen. Look for Hawks taking one of the bigs!!!

Wouldn't this trade make every team better?

The suns get better defensively up front, the Bulls get an offensive center, the Wizards actually get a true point guard and the pistons get a proven scorer. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

Wouldn't this trade make every team better?nba mvp

yes it is very good trade for everyone.

Wouldn't this trade make every team better?nba trades ,nba teams

That trade will not happen. You have to many first round pick in the trade. Most of these guys are still young. Most teams will not give up that without bringingh more to the table. Yes, the Suns are screwed in the deal. Wizards will not give up 2 guards.
great trade.
Yeah right! The Wizards are gonna trade Arenas and Young and get those two in return. Gimme a break! Only if Ernie Grunfeld is kidnapped and Wes Unseld takes his place would that deal EVER go down.
The Suns get killed in this deal, they give up Amare and get an old Ben Wallace that is playing very bad this year and has a horrible contract. Very Bad for Suns, the Bulls have to give up a lot more at least, Deng and Gordon. The Suns will not trade Amare. Tyrus Thomas can't do anything except flashy dunks.
thats a pretty good trade, but it'll never happen

How does this trade between the Suns and Sonics work?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Ak...

Kurt Thomas, and two first round picks for a conditional second round pick? I thought salaries had to match? This doesnt make sense.

How does this trade between the Suns and Sonics work?nba live

The salaries actually do match up...the suns got the 2nd round pick and the 8 mil trade exception which is like getting a player making 8 mil add that with what the base pay for a 2nd rounder and you get close to what Thomas made

How does this trade between the Suns and Sonics work?tv on pc ,nba teams

the salaries do not have to match. they just have to stay under the cap.

the reason why alot of trades dont workout as you said becaus ethe salaries dont match. however if you have two teams like phoenix and seatlle where seattle has one of the lowest salaries in the NBA while phoenix has the 4th highest it kind of balances each other.

the sonics salary is not higher while phoenix is lower.

the reason the suns couldnt get get Garnett and Stoudemire was because it would of put Phoenix over. which is why they tried to sell off marcus banks and his 6 million dollars a year contract...no one went for that bait.

the suns can trade anyone to any other team as long as thier contracts dont put the other team over the salary cap. that is the only real requirement for any trade.
well... the suns had cap issues so they wanted to dump Thomas... if they released him they would still have to pay him the money he is owed... by trading him they've opened up room to try and resign shawn marion
keep reading past the first line and ur answer is there
It's because the NBA has trade exceptions. I'm not sure how the teams get them but they do. The Supersonics had a 9 million dollar one somehow because of doing a sign and trade of Lewis and that's how they did it.
Seattle gave PHX a contract spot worth $8mill. Instead of SEA looking for a big man, they took Thomas and now PHX has to look for one more player.
it might work if the sonics had cap room. if you have cap room the salaries don't have to match. not totally sure. but that might've been the case. there was cash involved going from the sonics to the suns.
the suns got cash considerations too
i dont have a clue. sorry, i just found out too.
cap space, maybe making room for a big deal

I don't think Miami may be getting enought out of it. What do you think?

Like this trade?nba players

Lakers wouldn't trade Bynum away

Like this trade?nba draft prospects ,nba teams

It will never happen. First of all the Lakers are not trading Bynum away for two guys who would essentially back up Kobe and Odom. The Lakers were not willing to give up Bynum for Jason Kidd so what makes you think they would willingly give him up for two role players?

Secondly, nobody is going to trade for Mourning given that it is being reported that he is leaning towards retirement and has no interest in playing for anyone other than Miami.

I also fail to see how this deal significantly improves any of the teams involved. For the most part they would just be shuffling bench and role players around. There is no real point to a trade like this unless you are just looking to unload guys who want to move on and play elsewhere.
lakers wont trade bynum for sucky players, miami wont trade good role players for nobodies and alonzo prob retire soon.
Miami will not be getting enough you need to trade a starting center to the Pistons for Mourning.
Ewwwwwwwwwww.
Miami is getting screwed in this wannabe trade deal. I would reject it in a heartbeat.
yeah i agree with you. I have tried that before it is pretty hard to get a trade o match because of salaries.
If that goes down... Lakers will benefit the most

Suns and cavs trade (suns fans only)?

cavs get Marion and a good blocker and rebounder in Marks.

Suns get a star a good back up for when Nash retires and a solid PF.

Suns and cavs trade (suns fans only)?nba all star game

i know you love your Suns but come on dude-- that's like the Celtics turning around and trading Garnett to the Lakers for Odom.

There is no reason in the world that LeBron would be traded to Phoenix for Marion.

That's like a Steve Nash for Ilgauskas and Drew Gooden (would the Suns do that???)

Please dude...

Suns and cavs trade (suns fans only)?knicks ,nba teams

How's this trade???sports tickets

HORRIBLE THE SPURS WONT TRADE PARKER AWAY

How's this trade???concert tickets ,nba teams

not a very good one
Spurs would never change their chemistry
bad. why would the spurs do that? thats crazy
This trade will not happen mainly because San Antonio has already built Tony Parker to run their offense. Why would they want to give up Parker who is still young and is already showing why he is the MVP of the NBA Finals. Just a two way trade between Sacramento and Cleveland would be find though. Sacramento offering Bibby for Larry Hughes and Damon Jones.
rip off for the spurs
you're a kings fan, aren't you?! but i love this trade! blast the spurs!!!
The Spurs would never trade Tony Parker, Because then Eva Longoria wouldnt go to their games.
thats stupid...spurs would never give up tony parker because he is one of the most versitle p-gaurds in the league!!
No.
its good if ur sacramento!

tony parker!

bruce bowen!jk
way bad

How about this trade for Bibby?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

How about this trade for Bibby?nba 08

trading over half of your roster for 3 guys on a terrible team doesn't happen. try again...

How about this trade for Bibby?nba finals ,nba teams

I could go for Salmons, but the Blazers need Bibby like a hole in the head.
yea the numbers will work but itll never happen
How about it indeed!....
Interesting, but too manny players for just 3... Kings may not need Bibby that much now, sinc they have Udrih and Garcia playing well, so it's possible they will trade him. But I don't think Portland wuold give that many players for him.
good trade
not a good trade. portland has ROY. why do you have to get Bibby?

Stupidest-impossible-crazy trade ever?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

LOL. Portland's ENTIRE team for their big 3.

Stupidest-impossible-crazy trade ever?nba 2k8

thats a bad deal since they've won like 13 straight

Stupidest-impossible-crazy trade ever?nba mvp ,nba teams

Well its not really a good trade seeing that with Portlan winning 13 games WITHOUT Greg Oden they have to be better then the Big 3. But not better if the Big 3 was with there team. So imagine how good Portland would be with Oden in there lineup
your crazy
They have won like thirteen games. It is a team sport man. A team of 12 wins it, not three. Blazers all the way man!haha.
Damn, thats funny!!!!!

Half of them are rooks or sophomores so they dont get much money...

Its a shame some people don't understand that it is A JOKE!!!
Wow! That's sad. Portland's a great team, but the youngest in the NBA. Just comes to show you how 3 heavily priced vet's/hall of famers overrule 22 players, half of em still in their rookie contracts!
The Big 3 are good...but they won't win against my Suns 3 vs. 5. Not even 5 vs. 5. lol

Will this trade help LA & NY?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

Will this trade help LA %26amp; NY?nba.com

It would help NY, but not LA. At the rate LA is going they would make the trade!!!!! I don't think Kobe would like it in NY anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Would LA Want To Get Rid Of Kobe And Vladmir For Players Like That I Mean C'mon Zach Randolph Is A Good Player But Nothing Compared To Kobe
Man are you crazy?

it only helps NY

Mike Bibby trade. Good or Bad?

Bibby to Atlanta, the Siberia of the NBA for 4 players and a future second round pick. What do you think?

Mike Bibby trade. Good or Bad?nba gear

Could have done better. It's good because he's taking up so much cap space with that massive contract but outside of that one thing this trade is all bad. You get 4 nobodies in return and a 2nd round pick that will amount to zero. The second round of the draft in the NBA is worthless. Bibby may not be what he once was but he's still among the best point guards in the league and he can still hit the deep shots that force defenses to spread out and cover him. I know that he was being overpaid but now the Kings have 4 players to deal with and we don't know if they will be able to unload those guys or if they will get stuck with them the same way they got stuck with the 3 players they got when they traded C. Webb. They still have Kenny Thomas on the roster and he's getting paid waaay too many millions and he's not even playing. He's collecting a$s splinters and getting huge money for it. What if that happens here? I think the Kings could have done better. The Hawks suck no matter what but at least they're making a play off push and Bibby can certainly help them with that.

Mike Bibby trade. Good or Bad?nba finals 2007 ,nba teams

This a great pick!! We get Bibby, and they get the players who's contract are expiring!!! Plus, a second round draft pick, which wont bring them much!!!

Do I think the Hawks could have brought in somebody better, yes I do!!! But Bibby WILL help us get to the playoffs!!!!

HAWKS LOVE!!!

ROY=AL HORFORD!!!!
his 1st game vs la his new team got beat by 29 so you tell me
Definitely good for Atlanta. Sacramento has done just as well without him since he went on IR. Bibby brings playoff experience and that killer mentality. Remember the western conference finals between the Kings and the Lakers during LA's threepeat? Everyone choked for Sacramento except Bibby. Stojakovic, Webber, etc went ice cold in that do-or-die game. Kings lost that game but it was a gutty performance by Bibby nonetheless.
that aviatar is horrible.
The Kings get some good younger people. Sacramento obviously did alright without him when they beat the Blazers on their tough home court last night!
Bibby isnt a true point guard, so all it really does is add more offense to a bunch of offensive minded players. The Hawks need someone who can bring order to the madness. I cant say its a bad trade, because at least Bibby is an experienced PG, and if he commits himself to it, he could be valuable to the Hawks at that position. Only time will tell but his debut yesterday was less than spectacular.
Good but not a lot of impact Bibby will bring
The trade helps both Sacramento and Atlanta, but it won't change the landscape of the NBA like the Pau Gasol trade did.

Atlanta gets an experienced PG who can take pressure off Joe Johnson. Unfortunately, it's still a borderline playoff team with little chance of making it past the first round. If Atlanta just wants to make the playoffs, it's a good trade. If they want more, don't hold your breathe.

Sacramento loses a big contract and gets their future starter at PF in Sheldon Williams. Of course, no one is exactly sure how good Williams is after losing minutes to a rookie (Al Horford). The other players are throw-in's that won't mean much to the Kings' future.
Very good. They are well under .500, but still tied for the last playoff spot. One of the teams they are tied with is NJ, which just got rid of Kidd, and likely their playoff hopes. Would be good for ATL to get back to the playoffs and draw some fans for a change.

Warriors bulls trade?

ttp://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tra...

Warriors bulls trade?nba statistics

No the bulls wouldnt make this trade even tho they know deng might not resign at the end of the year.

They would want a big man in return but the warriors only have Biedrins and Harrington and i think they are unlikely willing to give them up.

If not the bulls would want atleast Ellis in the deal.

Warriors bulls trade?nba store ,nba teams

no they need luol deng no trades would work unless they trade stephen jackson or baron davis to the bulls
No Luol Deng is by far way more worth than the 2 GS players, you would need to throw in Monta Ellis and a draft pick...
Deng would be that extra big man we need, but no way we should give up Monta, needs to be Wright or someone else.
Luol Deng is too good to be traded for less then baron davis

Can this trade benefit the 3 teams?

Can this trade benefit the 3 teams?nba salary cap

Why the hell would anyone do that??Hornets get ripped off, bulls steal paul, and gibson gets robbed from cleveland and by the way, I think he has potential.

Can this trade benefit the 3 teams?nba rumors ,nba teams

Why would the Hornets ever get rid of Chris Paul. He made their team good this year.
No. The Hornets would gain nothing. You are retarded.
Why in the world would the New Orleans Hornet do that???

It would only benefit the Bulls.
Yes, but the Cavs and Hornets would get the worst part of the deal. The Bulls would have a good point guard.
Oh please come on the Hornets not going to trade Paul away. The Bulls don't need another PG.
im sry to say, but this trade will never work out for the hornets.

y wud they give up PAUL???
h,loyyy65e12q75b

nah, I got no time to read your little trade crap.
That is the stupidest trade ever. They'll NEVER trade Chris Paul. You can't get back equal value for him.
i don't think the bulls need another guard. they need to keep their big men and add more talent to those positions.
Sure it could, it would finally give the Bulls a real point guard. But you realize that there is no chance in he** that the Hornets would trade Chris Paul. So that trade is beyond unrealistic.
Bulls give up far 2 Litlle 2 get so much. Paul averages 15 points higher, has the same in rebounds, and has 9 more assists per game than Thomas. Its a ripoff 4 the Cavs and the Hornets. With Paul, the Bulls might actually have a shot at the playoffs. But the Hornets and Cavs GMs arent stupid.
Wha-Wha-Wha-WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?

Why would New Orleans trade Chris Paul. That trade would kill us!
This trade is not possible and wont happen (unless hornets finds that CP has cancer and will die soon)

Nope, that trade wont benifit New Orleans. Will help Chicage big time. Cavs will get an all right player. Chris Paul is an asset for Hornets. Without that asset they have no value (no offence to others)
lol really fair to hornets...

Ok. Lets analyze this.

HOuston is losing Carl Landry. World doesn't give a damn.

Golden State gets Carl Landry. He may score about 2 or 3 points a game. That may be the difference between a victory or a defeat.

Its okay but wouldn't it be easier just as 2 smaller trades because there aren't any players crossing over.
That's actually not that bad of a trade.Utah is getting ripped off the most though out of any of the teams
Amare Stoudemire is worth more to the Suns long term and short term than Kobe would be, esp. since they gave up Kurt Thomas.

Al Harrington for Andrei Kirilenko, Fantasy NBA?

Amare Stoudemire

Al Harrington for Andrei Kirilenko, Fantasy NBA?2006 nba draft

Do it before Webber comes on board. You wait too long and you may not get anything for the Big Al.

Al Harrington for Andrei Kirilenko, Fantasy NBA?nba schedule ,nba teams

I wouldn't. Kirilenko is very inconsistent and will only give you Center type numbers. He's good for blocks and rebounds. He is good for steals to though. But Al, although a center, gives you 3 pointers and more forward type numbers.

Edit: Ooo. I didn't think about that. JR's got a good point. When Webber gets back Al's PT will most likely drop.
Easy.. YES... with C-Webb coming in..he may lose a few minutes and as is, Al Harrington is not utilized all the time depending on who they play, getting AK-47 will also take your blocks to a whole new level...though you may hurt in 3s/
for sure do it. harrington is slowly regressing into a 3 point specialist, and andrei is the type of player who'll shore up your stats in just about every category. webber coming in will only cut into harrington's PT further.
YES AND QUICKLY

CWebb about to sign

Al Harrington already had inconsistent minutes w/out him

Kirilenko will give you more steals, blocks, assists, and possibly even rebounds

all the other stats are around the same anyways

Kirilenko is bound to play at least 30 mins a game too
Yes,even though Andrei is inconsistent his recent nubmers seem to be appealing plus with the abundance of Good Centers you have its a good trade,hurry and do it before Webber comes,he might lose playing and ultimately his trade value

Should I trade Kobe Bryant for Brandon Roy?? Answer quickly!!!?

I am in my 3rd season in my NBA 08 franchise Kobe is in his 14th year in the league he is 89 overall!! Brandon Roy is in his 5th year in the league he is rated 87 overall!!!!

Should I trade Kobe Bryant for Brandon Roy?? Answer quickly!!!?nba live 2005

For the video game in franchise mode I think it's a great trade for your future and won't kill you in the present either.

Should I trade Kobe Bryant for Brandon Roy?? Answer quickly!!!?nba update ,nba teams

No you should keep Kobe but it depends how he is performing. you should post their stats so we could decide
one on one? no wit som e other players with roy if anything

i advise u to skip it all. i mean kobe maybe in his 14th year but he came to the nba as a teenager. so wait couple years, wen he is still good but closer to retirement
keep kobe, if he gets worse, trade for someone else. Dont trade for roy, trade for a center like Yao
Do not, I repeat, do not!! trade away Kobe. He is a great player and better than brandon roy. He came out of high school which gives him a few more years in the NBA, so you got him for a few more seasons at least. You can trade him away at any time, but you can't take him back once hes gone!!
I'd wait, although i think i see what you're thinking.
yeah

brandon roy will developed while kobe won't

you did say kobe was in his 14th season and brandon roy was in his 5th so i rather get someone freash that will get better
Get Roy he has more ahead of him and Kobe is on the decline. In the NBA live games players decline fast after 34 yrs.
NO NO NO NO NO NO. Do not trade for Roy. I am from WA and he played for WA in college. he's no where near the level of kobe.. yet
NOOOOOOOOOOO

KOBE WILL SOON BE GETTING 50 POINTS EVERY GAME
Are u kiddin me. No way!!!!!! Roy is good n all but he is no where near kobe. Mb in a year or two but now no way. Kobe is a MVP

Could this trade help Portland make it in the Playoffs?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

Yes!......this deal would send O'neal back to Portland, but I think this time it works!

do you agree?

Could this trade help Portland make it in the Playoffs?nba playoff

jermaine o'neal isn't worth 5 players. he's on the decline because of injuries

and how will that trade even work? you'll deplete the blazers bench and indiana doesn't have any place to put all those players

no, this trade will never work

Could this trade help Portland make it in the Playoffs?nba stats ,nba teams

no way, travis is the 6th man of the year. joel pryzbilla is our starting center and is a very good defender, james jones is the best 3 pt shooter in the nba, and channing frye has a good jump shot and offensive rebounds. i'll never in a million years do this trade
They should send Webster instead of Jones because Jones is a deadly 3 point shooter. Other than that I LOVE IT. They need to clear room for some players next year anyways. Oden, Roy, Aldridge, Fernandez, O'Neal
that would be a very good trade
jermaine o'neal sucks now

Helppp i need advice for my nba fantasy team?

my team consists of:

Baron Davis

Jordan Farmar

Tony Parker

Hedo Turkoglu

Gerald Wallace

Matt Barnes

Jermaine O'Neal

Andrew Bogut

David Lee

Jarrett Jack

Josh Howard

Luke Walton

Brent Barry

who should i try to get rid of, who or what type of player should i try to get, who should i try to trade for whom...pleasee i need all the advice you can give me this is my first year and i think that this team will suck so i need to know what to do...thank you for all your answers

Helppp i need advice for my nba fantasy team?nba draft order

Try to package Hedo Turkoglu and Jermaine O' Neal for a big man like Amare Stoudemire or Yao Ming, then you could move Josh Howard into Turkoglu's spot. And if I were you I would cut Matt Barnes for big man like Andrew Bynum or Ronny Turiaf.

Helppp i need advice for my nba fantasy team?nba draft history ,nba teams

Farmar - gone.

Barnes - gone.

Jarrett Jack - gone.

Walton - gone.

Personally, I would drop all four of these guys. It's not because it's early in the season and they aren't doing anything so far, it's that they haven't proven much in their careers. They are all relatively young guys, they aren't getting the most playing time, and I can guarantee that there are guys on your Free Agent market that are quality starters (i.e. John Salmons - no Bibby and Artest means quality playing time).

If you can, try to deal Jermaine O'Neal, but that will be hard because nobody wants to take such an injury risk (you will never get Amare for Hedo Turkoglu and Jermaine O'Neal). What you could do is try to trade Jermaine straight up for Emeka Okafor, or someone else that has had a rough start to the season.

Other than that, it is hard to say who to pick up, because I don't know who is available.

Good luck.

NJN-CHI Trade this could really work?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

I honestly like it and think this could work, but idk if Chicago would be willing to give away that many young guys for VC

NJN-CHI Trade this could really work?nba live 2006

This trade is actually something that could work. The only problem would be that New Jersey may not want to throw away two future starters. However they would be getting some pretty good talent in return so it would be a tough decision. Overall though it is a trade that I could see actually happening, maybe if a draft pick was thrown in for the Nets or something like that.

NJN-CHI Trade this could really work?nba gear ,nba teams

Bad trade.
New jersey would be gettin gripped off marcus williams is there future pg and willams is thier future pf they are getting little talent from chicago besides ben gordon.
its decent, but vince carter is not the high flyer/superstar he used to be.... bulls wouldnt want be that interested...
I think its a good trade however Vince Carter has not been playing like he has in yrs past,

but this is still a very good trade as in value and realistically

I give it 9 out of 10 in realness and equal value
no it woudnt
