100% agree.

LBJ is one of the best players in the league but can't do it alone, he's not even playing with good players they are all average at best.

It doesnt take Einstein to work out if San Antonio mark/eliminate LBJ they win the game.

It's made even harder for the Cavs because they can't just guard one man like the Spurs they have to deal with Parker, Duncan, Manu etc

4-0

Straight series sweep by the Spurs!

Worst.NBA.Finals.Ever.

How many open shots did the Cavs think they could miss?

When they started showing graphics of Bruce Bowen for MVP I switched off.

agree, they were dire.

It just shows that 1 man doesn't make a team.Even Jordan had players like Pippen and Rodman to help him.Cleveland won't win the title until they give LJ more help.

Knowledge is the bomb, my first post on this thread.

Seattle becomes only the 2nd team in 30 years to pick 2 of the top 5 after it traded Ray Allen and the 35th pick (Glen Davis) for the 5th pick (Jeff Green), Wally Sczerbiak and Delonte West. New Sonics GM Sam Presti, hired from the Spurs, is looking to make his mark on the team

The Trailblazers traded Zach Randolph for Steve Francis and Channing Frye. Portland also threw in Dan Dickau and Fred Jones to even up the salaries.

The Bobcats acquire Jason Richardson from the Warriors, good move for both teams, Charlotte gets a proven scorer and the Warriors are able to give Montae Ellis and Baron Davis chance to become an effective combination.

Looking good in 2007 for my Knicks, got alot stronger through this trade, hoepfully we can get rid of James somehow and maybe Jeffries. Randolph Morris signed at the end of last year is a big steal, we now have the best frontcourt in the East, expect us to try and trade for Rashard Lewis as well.

C- Curry
F- Randolph
F- Q-Rich
G- Crawford
G-Marbury

Robinson
Jeffries
Lee
Chandler
Collins
Rose
Balkman
James- Please Go
Morris
Dan Dickau
Fred Jones
Demetris Nichols

The Knicks will be lucky to make the play offs, but seeing as they are in the weaker Eastern Conference I suppose anything is possible.

Rashard Lewis is a FA, expect the Magic to take a serious run at him, even though the Sonics can offer him the best deal.

If it`s a sign and trade then the Knicks have no players that the Sonics would want.

Crawford has been rumoured along with Balkman.

Jason Kapono leaves the Heat to join the Raptors 4yr/$24m

Vince Carter has agreed to stay with the Nets 4yr/$61.5m

Be quick he is in Orlando now visiting.

The other rumour is a sign and trade with the Pistons for Rip Hamilton, which is much more favourable than anything the Knicks have to offer.

The amount that Lewis wants is laughable, he can go to orlando

The Knicks attentions have now turned to bringing Ron Artest home.

Why am I not suprised. Referee under investigation from the FBI on match fixing

There was a big question mark over the guy in question last season after he made some bizarre calls.

On another note, Mo Pete is no longer a Raptor. Not exactly unexpected after his limited game time last season but still sad to see such a great servant to the club leave. He'll be a Hornet next season.

Phoenix trades Kurt Thomas and two first rounders (200icon_cool.gif & (2010)for a secound round pick and a trade exception to Seattle. Sam Presti is really making some moves.

Thomas will be off the books at the end of the season and hopefully the Suns will have gone plop and it will be a high pick

Garnett. to the celtics? is it about to happen?

Has anyone who frequents this thread ever bought NBA tickets (Knicks specifically) and if so could they please either PM me or post brief details about how to go about it? The schedule is out but it looks like they aren't doing individual ticket sales, not yet anyway.

WBFOP know's the score.

Try Ticketmaster, I think all NBA teams use them? I got mine for the Supersonics through them using Will Call window, just show your credit card at the stadium and they hand over your tickets. They will only start single game tickets when they know how many season tickets they are going to shift, probably middle of September.

The Knicks also have a Ticket Exchange on their website, so I`d keep an eye on that.

You could also try Razorgator closer to the time, they were great and sent my NFL tickets to my hotel in Seattle.

Wicked, cheers. Not sure what demand is like but a game on a Wedensday night, 2nd week in December? Decent chance of acquiring a couple of tickets?

Artest back to NY? I really want this to happen but don't want us to give up Lee or Balkman.

Celtics looking good for the title now, any team with Allen, Garnett and Pierce in it is going to be amongst the best.
