Rather have QPon than Vasquez.

That Durant guy was a beast during the 4th. We should trade for him. 35-15-6.

Mutually beneficial trade if there ever was one. Both should be acting as rotational role players. Only the Grizz have Tayshaun starting and we have no one ahead of Vasquez.

Is it encouraging to people or bothering that Anthony Davis has the same body type to Kevin Durant?

Davis has much wider shoulders, which suggest he should stay in the post. He also isn't as suddenly quick as Durant, which allows Durant to play on the wing. I also like Davis in the post because he can patrol the paint defensively, and that is invaluable to a defense.

I've been thinking this for so long but never wanted to come out and say it.

Anyone think Indy would give us a package around George Hill, Lance Stephenson, and Ian Mahinhi for Eric Gordon?

I don't want to move Gordon yet, but if the team becomes set on it and can't get much in return I think that's a solid package for someone that isn't very sought after.

Derek Fisher fined $5000 for flopping. But isn't that why he has a job? http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nb...nba/index.html

...

I wonder how many players will be fined for flopping in these playoffs. Is Fisher the first one?

I like the way Teague has played so far. You can tell hes still raw as hell from watching him, but hes making good descisions ntm some good assists. He has also managed not to get intimidated from the Miami pressure. I hope Nate is alright.

Everytime I see the Bulls competitive in the playoffs, I get angry thinking about Rose sitting at home refusing to play.

I haven't watched much but when I did watch I saw him turn the ball over at least once because of the pressure. They haven't credited him for a turnover but I think they called a backcourt violation.

What happened to Nate?

Yeah i think he is worried more about his performance than his team. I'll give him the benefit of a doubt and say hes not 100 percent though.

Yah Butler really makes them a better team. If Rose and Deng were playing they could take the series.

He's on the bench with the team.

He has been medically cleared since Feb 18th and can dunk in pre game warm ups and practice.

Rose would be an absolute idiot to come back in the playoffs. To get thrown into that right away, such a fast pace, against the very best teams, with playoff physicality. Even with minute restrictions, the expectations would be very high and he'd without a doubt throw off the unbelievable rhythm that Bulls team has currently.

No they couldn't. The Heat pounded a fully Bulls team two years ago and the Heat are much better now.

I would give anything outside Davis for Jimmy Butler playing our SF position.

Me too. I LOVE his game. Too bad we missed him. What happen to our pick in 2011?

He seems like a player that would fit perfectly in Monty's philosophy.

A rational team would consider trading Rose.

No way would they trade him....

I think everyone got caught up in the Rose hype. He's maybe the most entertaining guy out there but I have him on the same tier as Westbrook. No way he deserved a MVP over a Durant, Lebron or Kobe.

I think they play better team ball without him. I also agree about the MVP thing, but he is definately a spark to his team.

He's their closer. A lot of players have done a great job of stepping up. But it won't last forever. There will be games where James will be unguardable and they won't have anyone who can go toe to toe with him. This is where they'll really miss his ability to score.

I just think that the team is good without him and he's clearly got issues. Go get a star who wants to win on that team.

I was never really a fan of him or his personality... He is an individually great player. Idk if that is enough though.

Look all the knocking on rose is understandable but let's wait to see how it plays out. Nobody knows your body like you do. Not even the docs. The way he plays is really dependent on the knees to perform. Is he a lil scared of tearing them again? Yea but to say trade him is just silly. Oh they beat the heat in game 1 that's right. Let's trade rose now. Problem solved right? Smh..rose was a top 5 player in the nba Pre-injury. You don't just trade away a top 5 player. That's just stupid.
05-06-2013, 09:52 PM

Like I said watch them warriors. They taking the spurs out in 6. Wait n see :)....and btw barnes is really proving to be the 2nd or 3rd best player from that draft. Hell he might wind up being the best lol..dude has really stepped his game up man. IMPRESSIVE!!!

I think the concern is more about him wanting to have the perfect debut rather than help his team. He could have come back months ago, and that is a fact. I dont really care about Rose because he isnt on our team; i dont think id trade him either.

Pure speculation at best.

I hope so. I hate the Spurs, and one of my favorite players is on Golden State. Can you guess which one?

What did I say that is speculation?? I just said how good he was and he shouldn't and wouldn't be traded. I didn't try n guess his situation at all. I said let it play out then judge it. So how is that speculation? All I said was is he a lil scared of tearing his knee again? Yea..I'm pretty sure everyone with a half brain has come to that conclusion which is obvious. To say he is not playing just to try n come back n have that complete all star game rather than helping his teammates is the speculation I was referring to.

I hear ya. I don't really care either cuz he's not on the pelicans. But he had a very bad injury and the way he plays the game is scary after tearing an acl. I was just mainly responding to the TRADE HIM posts. Lol

Paying a guy who refuses to play is stupider is the point.
