Never knew someone could make drinking bottled water look so damn douchey.

Burke will end up making the race interesting, but I don't think he'll take it.

The Jazz are 9-7 with a staring lineup of him, Hayward, Jefferson, Williams and Favors, and 1-17, otherwise.

Their tanking intentions are going to be put to the test in January. They get the Bucks, Lakers, Cavs, Nuggets, Pistons, Timberwolves (twice), Wizards and Kings, and eight of their 12 games in the month are at home.

The majority of the East are trying to tank and it's back firing on 'em.

Only teams in the East that are in the top 8 that probably didn't want to be are Boston and Toronto).

It's the teams that WEREN'T trying to suck in the East that are surprisingly bad (BK, NY, CHI, CLE)

Those are 4 teams most people thought were playoff locks (maybe not Cleveland, but they were supposed to be better than this)

Detroit could possibly not make it to and they weren't trying to tank either.

Chicago isn't surprisingly bad though. They lost Rose for the year, and Butler has been injured. And Cleveland wasn't going to make much noise, still. The only two teams that are surprising are the two NYC teams.

So Rose's injury wasn't surprising? I think that was his point.

Gasol-Bynum swap discussed

The Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers have had discussions on a trade that would involve Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, league sources told ESPN.com.

No deal is believed to be imminent, but both sides are mulling it over ahead of a Jan. 7 deadline when the second half of Bynum's $12.25 million salary would be guaranteed. The Cavs suspended Bynum for one game this weekend for conduct detrimental to the team and have excused him indefinitely from all activities, including games.

By trading Gasol in a package for Bynum and then waiving him, the injury-ravaged Lakers could save more than $20 million in salaries and luxury taxes, which could help them maintain financial flexibility heading into the next few summers. A Gasol-Bynum trade would have to include at least one other player and perhaps other assets from Cleveland.

"Other assets from Cleveland"

Like the sound of that.

Suns are surprising me more and more. 

I was impressed by them. They play fast, hard and with a lot of confidence. They were all over the place defensively last night. Hornacek is doing a great job.

 

[Peep Game]

Gerald Green want that 6th man of the year

Can't believe that he is finally playing to his potential

I've been waiting on him forever to do so.

The idea that the Lakers may trade Pau for Bynum, then waive Bynum is . Just dump Pau in the trash already. Or give him an extension.

Oooooh they can save 20 mil, max extension it is

Suns are a fun team to watch play ball. Solid team defense, great ball movement and the get after it. Unselfish play as well.

Looking forward to the Wiz getting above .500 and moving into one of the top 4 spots.

oh. 

These leagues sure do like making retroactive decisions. Why dont they just get things right the first time, especially since it was an obvious call.
