Absolutely horrible win for the Lake Show tonight. Now 2 wins back in the win column on the Magic, Magic 8 games remaining, Lakers 9 left. If they end up jumping them they'll have the 5th worst record and be in serious danger of shipping their pick to Hinkie.

LA ships the first pick anyway, or do they show the lotto balls coming out of the machine now?

They show the lotto to multiple independent auditing companies that also run actual lottos, etc

They just don't show us on tv so they can do the drama of reverse reveal

Any interest in a fantasy draft that uses players' salaries and has a salary cap? Could also include the college class and have the college draft order be the reverse order of the nba draft order.

I think we need at least 15 people and each person can get two teams. Ideally, we could get 30 people but it seems doubtful.

6. The Amar’e/Dirk Partnership

The Mavs have been scrambling to figure out their big-man rotation ever since dealing Brandan Wright in the Rondo trade — a gamble that hasn’t worked out the way Dallas hoped. They cycled through Greg Smith and Dwight Powell, flirted with Jermaine O’Neal, revived Charlie Villanueva, brought back Bernard James, tried Dirk Nowitzki at center, and finally signed Amar’e Stoudemire off the buyout scrap heap.

Given the dearth of reliable options, the Mavs have had almost no choice but to pair Stoudemire and Nowitzki for segments of every game, and the results have been predictably disastrous on defense. Dallas has coughed up 111 points per 100 possessions with those two manning the front line, a higher number than Minnesota’s league-worst defense, per NBA.com.

The Dirk-Amar’e pairing mostly plays against second units, and they can survive small segments against opposing benches on some nights. But on others, they’ll surrender a killer run that takes Dallas out of a game.
Great trade Dallas

wait, what? why did it take you so long?

Did you have a disputed balance? I got my $$ back over a year ago
03-31-2015 , 12:15 PM

Speaking of crushing trades, have their been any better GMs at this over the last two years than Tim Connelly? Hinkie probably, but who else?

Fournier for AAA
Nurkic/Harris for McBuckets
Mozzie for 2 firsts
AAA for Will Barton + 1st

Assuming Nurkic makes the leap and exceeds Mozgov, they netted 4 firsts (Harris+3 firsts*) and upgraded their talent/cap situation in the span of less than a year.
