But you'll still be watching the Bobcats...

Lakers had a good deal, but the Cavs got a darn good one, too. Definitely a mutually beneficial trade.

Sessions was opting out (he has a player option next year) after this season because he didn't want to play 10-15 minutes behind Irving. Cleveland could have let him go for free, but instead they get a 1st (albeit late first, but still) out of an expiring contract more or less. Not only that, but they have cap space to spare for next season after Jamison's contract is off the books. Walton's expiring deal will help them stay above the new league mandaed floor and also beneficial for acquiring picks and matching a poor salary from another team, which the Cavs have a penchant for doing. ESPN lambasted the Cavs over this trade, but they got a pretty good deal out of it.

PS...Sessions drove us Cavs fans mad for the most part. He is VERY GOOD at getting into the lane, but has a mild case of tunnel vision. In addition, he may be the worst defensive PG in the league. Mo Williams was an upgrade on that end of floor and that is saying something. He will be good in spot duty off the bench, which the Lakers sorely needed, but he is no home run player.

Also, PPS...Lebron may not be a bad person (though I say that begrudgingly), but he is well deserving of the ridicule he gets over his Cleveland fiasco.

That's part of the dream though, I'm hoping he'll wait a year. A man can dream can't he???

What?!?!?? They could win this year. Haven't u been watching B-Ball?!??!?

But you'll still be watching the Bobcats...

True but free basketball is good basketball. Especially when the big names come to town.


(I watched Deron drop 57 this season, that was pretty cool)

Haha thats funny because I do the same with the Nets, I've gone to watch OKC and Clippers this season on like the 5th row for about $50, The Clippers one was actually interesting because the Nets actually won and Farmar hit a buzzer. For the OKC game the warm up was interesting because the whole OKC team was doing alley oops and nice dunks

"DENVER -- JaVale McGee's debut with the Denver Nuggets was punctuated by a smashing finish.

And the Nuggets needed it to overcome Ben Gordon's record-tying night from 3-point range.

McGee soared into the lane to rebound a teammate's missed free throw and dunk with 5 seconds remaining, and the Nuggets withstood Gordon's season-high 45 points for a 116-115 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

McGee's rebound and slam followed a missed foul shot by Arron Afflalo, who was fouled while making a driving layup with 5.6 seconds left. That basket pulled the Nuggets within 115-114 after they had blown a 25-point lead."

His dunk actually made the score 116-115, which was the final
McGee 1. you 0

That's fantastic, he finished +2. WoW stop the press.

Now did you see Nene, last night? 22/10 dub/dub, finished +10. Oh yeah they dominated on the road. Sure it was against the Nets. (but needing that to beat the Pistions at home, isn't even remotely impressive, considering he has a better team around him). Now the last time, they played the Nets, it was at home and your boy, Mcgee, was -20, in their loss. That's impressive a 7 footer plays over the half the game and doesn't even get 10 boards.

Nene 1, you 0. (see I can do this too)

Mcgee is straight up dumb, end of conversation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgSYA3Gb7oI

All of them are sheer comedy, but the duo of #4 and #3 gotta take the cake.

Boozer is a vastly overrated and overpaid player. To begin with, he pads his stats and has always played with good pgs (Rose, Williams) and the Jazz under jerry sloan where one of the best teams in offensive execution during his stay. His defense has always been none existent (in the west he got owned by gasol every time the lakers played and then destroyed by chris bosh last season in the playoffs). Worst of all, he chokes in the playoffs every time. Against the lakers his offense would vanish as gasol would get anything he wanted... leaving the jazz with a defensive hole that also couldn't score.

Every playoff series boozer gets tons of hype from commentators who end up making excuses for him. Like"gasol has a size advantage" well so what, He also had an advantage in bulk which he consistently failed to use to his advantage. Barkley played at a disadvantage in size most of his entire career and still put up amazing stats in both the reg season and post season. Shaq completely destroyed Rik Smitts in the 2000 finals (38 pts and 16.7 rb per game) despite rik smits being 7'4" to shaq 7'1" On the defensive end Rodman used shut down larger players all the time while also out rebounding them, such as David Robinson, Karl Malone, Shawn Kemp, Chris Webber and Shaq.

The way Boozer plays defense alone, he would not be welcome on any team. He even allowed a struggling Bosh (who seemed to be lost the entire post season) to drop 24 ppg on 64% shooting on him through the series. Oh and where did his much needed offense go in the playoffs? 12.6 pts on 43% fg for a PF leaves much to be desired.

While he is not a garbage player, he is a frustrating one that gets way more credit than he deserves. Atleast Varejo can play defense and doesn't demand huge money just to drop off in the post season like boozer who is way overhyped and overpaid.
