the Raps will be pretty stacked next year. It looks like they have to dump Marion though, which would have made them incredible. Turkoglu and Bosh is a pretty solid combo.

7/4/2009 12:16:57 PM

i can name at least 12 teams right now that are better than the raps

7/5/2009 6:43:17 PM

Fells is playing for the Magic's summer team

Hodge and Costner are playing for Chicago

McCauley is playing with the Lakers

[Edited on July 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM. Reason : .]

7/5/2009 11:00:07 PM

none of them will make a team

7/6/2009 10:11:56 AM

fells could be like a pietrus

7/6/2009 4:06:18 PM

Fells has a chance.

Unless Costner has really stepped up his game and his work ethic...he'll be hanging out in Europe for a while. Unfortunately, I don't see McCauley making any kind of US roster.

also, Jason Kidd will resign with the Mavs for 3 years, $25 milly

7/6/2009 5:03:03 PM

Costner will prolly make some sorry team and still ride the bench

Fells has a solid chance at the 2 spot

Big Ben, he may can work into a PF spot, maybe SF if his ball skills improve since he is a pretty good passer out of the post.

7/6/2009 6:20:43 PM

not to hate, but i dont see any chance of fells sniffing an nba roster

he is super athletic, but he doesnt really do anything well. to make the nba, you generally need to be able to do at least 1 thing really well.

just my opinion though

7/6/2009 10:08:31 PM

^^ Yes and Trevor Ferguson will probably get a roster spot as a backup PG on a contender.


You can't be serious costner couldn't sniff a roster and mccauley isn't even d-league material. Get your Passports ready

http://www.nba.com/jazz/09summer_league.html

got some live streaming summer league here. jazz are playin now, who've got derrick brown playin with em since the bobcats dont have a team this year. the announcers are pretty funny cause i guess they figure they only have 3-4 people watching anyway.

there should be other games on here, not just jazz games.

dang, as i was posting that, brown had a thunderous dunk that i missed.

[Edited on July 7, 2009 at 6:26 PM. Reason : .]

looking at the box score from the first game, fells was 0-8, 4 boards, 2 assists in 16:41 of playing time.

[Edited on July 7, 2009 at 6:30 PM. Reason : .]

7/7/2009 6:23:21 PM

It would be pretty cool if The Utah Bear was there (Jazz mascot)

He's pretty baller

7/7/2009 6:36:09 PM

these announcers are hilarious

Wtf. Marresse Speights took 26 shots for NJ/Philly. Nice. 11/26 from the field for a C. Jeez... Also, good to see McSoberts still playing summer league ball and sucking it up.

7/7/2009 6:42:43 PM

probably gonna want to tune in shortly to watch hansbrough dominate for the pacers

hansbrough and mcroberts on the same team. doesnt seem like it'd even be legal

[Edited on July 7, 2009 at 6:44 PM. Reason : .]

7/7/2009 6:43:59 PM

speights projected to be a really good pro, not sure why he slipped so far in the draft. he had a pretty big year last year and he might be good enough to get philly to unload brand if there are any takers

7/7/2009 10:48:47 PM

So Lebron gets two-handed dunked on by a college sophomore and Nike tries to confiscate the videos. Somebody has to find this!

7/8/2009 6:21:18 PM

Fells went 0-8 in his summer league game. I hope he turns it around, but he going to have to show the shooting consistency he rarely showed while he was here. No doubt he has the athleticism to play.

7/8/2009 7:28:56 PM

Marion to Dallas...

in a 4 team trade. Stackhouse to Memphis (where he'll be bought out), Kris Humphries to Dallas, Antoine Wright to Toronto

Dallas moves don't make any sense, they are getting older and older...


[Edited on July 9, 2009 at 8:36 AM. Reason : d]

7/9/2009 8:32:54 AM

anyone found the Lebron video yet... someones got to have this stored away on some obscure site somewhere.

7/9/2009 8:53:20 AM

"I'm a winner. I don't get dunked on."

7/9/2009 9:30:46 AM

Doubt you will see the video anytime soon. LeBron is not wanting that video out lol. Makes me wonder...is he really such a pussy?


III

7/9/2009 3:17:57 PM

he's starting to become such a prima donna.

I like the guy, but man, he needs to stop acting like such a puss.

7/9/2009 3:30:20 PM

i'm sure it's more nike than lebron not wanting the video to get out there

7/9/2009 3:34:42 PM

apparently, he was the one who made a big deal about securing the footage.

He went straight up to a representative from Nike and told him to call the waaaaahmbulance.

7/9/2009 3:37:51 PM

magic/jazz is on right now

http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nba/11191/300_nba-orlandmagic_060502.asx

fells is #10 for the team in white, he's in now....just got called for a charge (dwight howard is helpin with commentary and he proclaimed it the worst call in nba history)

and he airballed a 3 from the corner at the buzzer.

[Edited on July 9, 2009 at 5:46 PM. Reason : .]

7/9/2009 5:25:49 PM

boozer to bulls, hinrich to portland and tyrus to utah, this really looks like every team wins

AI will probably sign with Memphis this weekend. the answer is a total bitch if he cant see that he could play on a contender if he would just accept a role off of the bench. He is no longer a #1 guy in this league. man he fell fast.

7/10/2009 8:30:14 AM

Dumb idea for Memphis if they want to develop their team. This could stunt the growth for Gay, Mayo, and Conley...which one of them are you going to bench?? And shots will be hard to come by now. I think he would have been a better fit for the Heat where Wade and Beasley are the only ones that really want/need shots. I think Cook would have been okay with AI taking some PT and shots from him.

And I think with a healthy Boozer all year the Jazz could have given the Lakers a real run for their money. Only reason this might be a good mood for them is chemistry-wise. Boozer always seems like he was close to leaving for more money and that Utah never really warmed up to him (oh...and the injuries). Don't see Thomas as improving them unless they were planning on taking some of Boozer shots/PT and giving it to Milsap and Miles.

7/10/2009 8:58:39 AM

They were forced to trade boozer when korver picked up his option. They couldn't get anyone to take kirilenko and they are better off resigning millsap instead

7/10/2009 9:32:16 AM

boozer is yesterday, Millsap is today!!

if they kept boozer they wouldnt be able to resign Millsap, now w/out booz they get tyrus and millsap, i think it is superb for the jazz

Hinrich would definitely be an upgrade for the blazas over steve blake and the bulls need low post scoring which booze provides.

7/10/2009 11:38:10 AM

well at least fells scored today. they gave him almost 30 minutes of playtime, went 3-12 for 8 pts, 4 rebs, 2 stls, and 6 to's.

7/10/2009 5:18:00 PM

listen i love nc state as much as the next guy but.........

talking about fells, mccauley, and costner playing summer league basketball is not really NBA talk

7/10/2009 10:30:27 PM

wow...ben mccauley 24 pts, 15 rebs for the lakers in their first game.

7/11/2009 2:10:18 PM

wow its summer league!

7/11/2009 4:27:29 PM

yea, exactly where someone like ben mccauley would have to prove himself

7/11/2009 7:10:47 PM

-Iverson down to Grizzlies, Heat or Bobcats

-Odom and Lakers getting closer to terms

Dwade does not need to sign an extension, I think ultimately wade and Lebron would love to get together next season and start winning titles. But I dont think wade would go to cleveland and I dont see Lebron going to dwades team. I think for this to work, they both would have to sign somewhere outside of their current teams. New York makes the most sense.
Thoughts???

7/13/2009 3:21:22 PM

Big Ben on NBATV right now.

7/16/2009 2:16:31 PM

^^I wouldn't mind Iverson in Charlotte IF he didn't break the bank and it was a short term deal

SG is a position of need for us, as is having someone who wants to take the last shot with the game on the line. The downside is we would continue to have a very small back court

I don't see Wade and Lebron on the same team. It would be awesome if they were but I just don't see it happening

7/16/2009 5:09:26 PM

Sean "Fat Dump" May is saying on his Twitter (via hoopshype) that he's going to Sac-town.

BYE! GTFO!

7/21/2009 5:08:47 PM

they had some stories in the paper over the last week or two that said May had a number of options on the table that he was looking at

a fair number of the ensuing comments suggested various dining options

7/21/2009 5:10:49 PM

Im pretty sure he signed for the veteran minimum there.

From what I heard he wasn't getting much love at that party he threw with Marvin Williams last week in C-H.

7/21/2009 5:25:49 PM

7/21/2009 6:04:32 PM

HA! didn't realize the Kings have McCants and Ced Simmons on their roster....wow. what a bunch of underachievers....(relatively).

in other news....is Sacramento officially the worst team in the league now?

7/21/2009 6:21:06 PM

i think they've been officially the worst team since last year

they went 1-29 against Eastern Conference teams lol

also if Sean May wasn't getting love in C-H, he's not going to get love ANYWHERE

7/21/2009 6:24:51 PM

drive-thrus show him love

7/21/2009 6:27:23 PM
