My Grizzlies put in the work last night, Tony Allen with the kick to the face of CP

For the record, Conley is one of the best ball handlers in the league and he developed a pretty good shot. I'll take him over Bledsoe, at least for the Grizzlies.

Conley is still very underrated. I don't see anyone hyping him up on here, but me Most people probably didn't even know he was the leading scorer on the Grizz and doing it efficiently.

Bledsoe can have fun putting up the same numbers as Conley on a team that will be back in the lottery. I've seen Conley perform at a high level in the playoffs and be the leader of one the best teams in the West. While saying that, Conley > Bledsoe. Conley is playing on the slowest team in the league (94 pace) and I trust Conley running my team more than Bledsoe.

Is Memphis really that much better than Phoenix though? Being the leading scorer on a team that's 22nd in the league in scoring is not really something to brag about imo. I agree that in the past, Conley showed leadership on a dangerous playoff team but I don't really think that he is better than Bledsoe right now for that reason. Derrick Fisher showed plenty of leadership and poise in his many runs with dangerous Laker teams but that meant diddly squat in terms of him being a better PG than other PG's in the league.

Maybe I'm drinking the Bledsoe kool-aid, or maybe I'm just not a big fan of Conley, but watching them both play in a small sample size, Bledsoe looks much better so far.

So the Lakers would have Kobe, Derozan, Nick Young and Jodie Meeks? Team Quality Shots right there.

If Nash retires the Lakers will have no one signed to their roster after the end of this season. I think they want to keep it that way...

 

[ballinsam23]

Lakers should probably find a way to get Dragic.

Who says no to this deal?

[grandtheftbike]

youngs contract is a player option and its only for 1 milli

NBA All Star 2014 Ticket Central. Only BBVA Rising Stars Challenge and Jam Session tickets are out. I went ahead and grabbed some lowers to the Rising Stars Rook/Soph Challenge. 77$ total for 2 lower levels, can't beat that. If I decide not to go I can easily get that much back. I probably should snatch up more to resell looking at how much they are listed for on 3rd party sites, but that'd be kind of douchey to do

I'm surprised tickets are so reasonably priced for Rising stars game

Yeah, I know the Lakers' strategy is to clear out the roster by the end of this season. I was just saying, if they did make a deal for Derozan, they would have quite a collection of chuckers on the team this season.

Is Jim Buss looking like a genius right now?

but without derozan rudy gay will be left to take 50 shots per game and average 28 points

That's really going to depend on whether the Lakers are actually able to do something significant will all the cap space they're going to have available.

this and if we are able to resign key role players this year for cheap (steve blake, jordan hill, ect..)

 

[Peep Game]

My man Tmac had me after calling Danny Green, Gerald Green
How you play with a dude for 2 months and forget his name

I'm guessing cause TMac never played, and when he did, they were never on the floor together

Is Derrick Williams a lost cause yet?

Kind of. I could see him being a contributor in the right situation, but he's never going to be an all-star level player. Too small to be a great 4; not skilled enough to be a great 3.

classic tweener with no particular stand out skill

 

[IATT]

^ i think he can be a solid contributor for the right playoff team.. just sucks he's with the twolves, since you cant play him and love together


also, i've only seen a handful of mins of blazers games.. but, how has thomas robinson been so far this season.. i see he had a pretty solid game last night, even though he only played 13 mins
