    I'm more than a little surprised that Boykins isn't on a roster this season. He may be small but he's quick enough to stay in front of any guard in this league on the defensive end. On the offensive end, Boykins actually has a very solid game with an innate ability to put the ball into the basket in a variety of ways. He is a 40% three-point shooter and is above 80% from the free throw line.

    Considering he is a Cleveland native, I don't understand why he isn't starting for the Cavaliers considering the rumors going around that Cleveland has been and is still interested in Mike Bibby.

    Am I missing something?

    I think he went to see about the Cavs opening but the receptionist couldn't see him behind the desk.

    At this point who knows what he is thinking. He needs to swallow his pride and do something with his life otherwise he will wind up at Radio Shack like Ron Artest.

    Bingo. Trading him was one of the best things the Nugs front office has done in the last few years.
