J-richardson back with the warriors eh? finally, let's see if he can make a difference and turn this around. :fingerscrossed:
Lakers finally lose one without Kobe, :doh:
clips lost one too, forgot which team though.
Looks like Nash is still out, this time with backspasms, and the other guard is out with a twisted ankle. Looks like more "L's" for the suns, how depressing... :shamefulcry: :beaten: :shakehead:
What has become of the T-Wolves? With Kobe hurt, the Lakers still managed to beat them, 93-90... The T-Wolves are a surprisingly mediocre 19-19 this season...

And the weird NBA season continues. :crazy:
Yea I would have thought they'd be much better than their record indicates given that Hudson and Szcerbiak are back but Cassel is out at the moment and Spree has lost a step.
lebron recently got a triple-double?, he didn't get one last season? with the numbers he puts up every game, i am surprised. He is such a great player, maybe even better than kobe. :doh:

qilver: i'm pretty sure he's gotten good numbers, but i guess he never had a triple-double. it remains to be seen whether lebron's gonna be better than kobe, but i hope he remains out of trouble!

Well LeBron is definitely more of a team player than Kobe... There was an article in the Times likening him to Magic Johnson.... That's high praise. :applaud:
yeah, heard about that. Magic played all five positions, and they won it that year. Lebron does have similarities to Magic. I don't think no one ran the fastbreak better than magic, especially at 6'9", he could pass over many smaller point guards. And that baby hook shot, that one against the Celtics in the playoffs, classic!!! :bonk: :bonk:
Yeah, the 1980s was my favorite for watching basketball... the Lakers-Celtics rivalry, not to mention the rise of the Pistons and the Bulls at the end of the 1980s... the quality of the game was higher.

The Warriors need to do something. I'm not talking about tearing the team down and starting over. We did that.
But is there anyone out there who could actually come in and wake this group up?
Make them start playing like they've got a pair? (Right now, this might be the softest, least intense group I've ever tried to root for.)
I believe Mully and the rest of the front office guys want to make a move.
But I don't know if there's anyone out there worth bringing in.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Oh man it's going to be tough. I know they're sitting on Dale Davis to hurry up and finish his contract which will give them a little cap space this off season but as far as trading, I think the best thing they can do is get some high picks or trade for a salary dump guy. They might be able to take a gamble and try to get a star in their last year of contract. I know Cleveland need to make a move on Ilgauskus since he'll be a free agent after this year and if they can't sign him, they might as well trade him. He can provide some inside presence given he doesn't get hurt. Milwaukee is dead last in their division and Mike Redd is a FA after this year I believe, maybe try to steal him with some draft picks and someone else. And of course maybe a veteran guy like Gary Payton who's destined to leave Boston after this season could be of help but even though Boston is 18-20, they're tied for the division lead. Don't really know who else is on the market right now, but we do need to make a move.
