    DWill saying he's not 100% this season, but 20% better than last season. Can someone do the math for me?

    That means he was at most 83.33% last season.

    x * 1.2 < 1
    x < 1/1.2
    x < 0.833333...

    So he's 99%. Last year he was 79%. Still not 100%. Progressing is good though.

    I'm so damn excited for this year.

    Not as high on Hollins as everybody else. Something tells me his abrasive personality will get his ass canned by all-star.

    Do you guys believe Messina will get a HC offer before the year ends? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Morey is banking on him. Maybe Gentile will come over then too, haha

    Also this quote is mildly disturbing:

    You better believe the Cavs never had a media day like this before and never will in their future.

    Not that we necessarily need to rehash this but Bosh is on the Le Batard show:

    Closest you were going to Houston? At any point did you think "I'm going to be a Rocket"?

    A little bit. I began to pick up negotiations but I wanted to hear from Pat and Micky first. I still had to get an offer from the Heat and they stepped up to the plate as soon as LeBron made his decision.

    Hey, guys. Where's the best place I can go to for getting photos for each team's media day? Their team website or..?

    Searching a player's name + "zimbio photos" yields some great quality pictures. Would be a good place to start.

    Cavs -- ugly unis

    Heat -- Bosh is your main guy? good luck!

    Nets -- Russian owner + Hollins + Nets' team culture = ???

    Spurs -- another year of "is this the year that marks the end of the big 3?" I doubt Leonard, Splitter, Green are ready to go to the next level.

    Knicks -- Melo + who else?
