None of the statements about Steve from Morey, Les, Adelman, or Steve himself are credible. It's obvious that Steve is nowhere near being able to...
Let's pose a more specific hypothetical: Would you trade McGrady for Manu + an expiring contract that makes up the salary difference?...
The only reason it wouldn't be so one-sided among GMs is that GMs care about cost-effectiveness, as opposed to just ability. If we could somehow...
The prob with Steve is that he has turned into a cheaper, less controversial version of Starbury. A more apt comparison is that he's become Bonzi...
Please GOD no more Vspan talk. :eek:
The article comes to the false conclusion that coaches don't do anything. Actually, if it doesn't matter which coach teams have had, it means that...
Haha, this reminds me of Barkley when he was on the Suns playing us: "Who IS Chucky Brown?"
Green's numbers are a bit better so far, but mediocre swingmen are the easiest players to find in the NBA. There are a hundred CBA players who are...
Haha. Great stuff. This is why the Jazz play so dirty -- they're letting out their anger over having to live with the Salt Lakers.
The Iverson comparison is probably the closest. But Iverson has two skills Stevie never had. 1. Incredible toughness. Steve didn't get injured...
Rosen is a massive troll who just happens to have been lucky enough to have gotten involved in basketball. At this point, I think he is hating on...

Not to beat a dead horse regarding Gay-Swift/Battier, but I think the basic problem for a GM is that evaluation of young players is very hard....
Agree. I don't think we ripped off Sacramento -- we simply understood what they wanted (and could provide it) better than the other teams. I would...
Excellent points. I had not thought about it from the small market perspective, and I liked the insights about LA and Dallas. LA's inflexibility...
I pretty much agree with what you're saying, but I'd argue that what you're describing is in fact the definition of "moneyball." In the original...
We just got a former defensive player of the year/20-pt scorer/1-time allstar for a washed-up old player, a late first-round pick who played so...
The only other asset weighing vs Landry is salary cap room for our "big move" at the trade deadline.
I think the Billups angle is by far the best option. They are a solid team, but McDyess and Wallace are on their last legs. Not that I'd hope...
