    Philly gets another athletic wingman... Not bad at all.

    Defense wins championships.

    Philly already allows the least points/game in the NBA, but they're loading up for a potential showdown w/ MIA in the Playoffs. Iggy, Thad, and Sam form a pretty stout trio of perimeter stoppers.

    Adding Sam Young when you have Turner/Iggy/Thadeus Young in the rotation ... perhaps they're going to trade one of thos three guys?

    Minnesota aquires forward Eddie Griffin from Houston Rockets in exchange for Malik Sealy.

    Yes. It's a salary dump to avoid the luxury tax.

    Grizzlies did well to move Young without having to give up a second rounder themselves. I figured they'd end up getting only nominal consideration for him. Was hoping the Rockets could have nabbed Young plus a future second from Memphis as a follow-up move to a bigger trade that opened up a roster spot for Young.

    Oh, well.

    There is a name I haven't heard in almost a decade.

    Remember when everybody was comparing him to Shaun Livingston? (back when Livingston looked like All-Star potential)
