... and those are two things that Randolph does well. And they do have the cap space to absorb Z-Bo without batting an eye. But c'mon -- is this really the best move for the long-term health of the franchise? Wouldn't a offer to, say, David Lee make approximately 100 times more sense? The Cavaliers Trade for Shaq I'm inclined to reserve judgment on this one until I see what else the Cavs are up to. There are reports that they're in the mix for Trevor Ariza or Ron Artest -- either of whom would G o a long way towards addressing their need for a player who ...

Return of the Super Team

... Hall of Famers. Free agency and the salary cap were supposed to prevent this from ever happening again. But this offseason has NBA fans partying like it's 1986. The Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, Spurs, and Magic were the five best teams in the NBA last season when healthy. This offseason, the five of them seem to be having an arms race to see who can power up the most for next season. In the days since the season ended, we have seen: The Lakers exchange Trevor Ariza for Ron Artest . The Cavaliers swap Ben Wallace for Shaquille O'Neal. The Spurs add ...
NBA Free Agency: Grading Each Signing

... Houston's long-term plans, it remains to be seen whether he can develop into his own offensive threat. He'll get a real wake up call next year when he realizes his supporting cast has been dowgraded from Kobe, Gasol, Odom, and Bynum to Battier, Brooks, Scola, and Landry. There will be no more getting by with his sub-par handles and non-existent mid-range game because defenses will now start to focus on him. It'll be up to him to determine whether or not he's up to the task. Grade: C Ron Artest - 3 years, $18 million - Los Angeles Lakers : An obvious risk given the question ...

... Rondo (extended until 2012-13 at $18) - At that price and on this team, he's a steal at point guard. Mo Williams ($8) - He's my hedge for both Miller in 3-pointers and is among the league-best in free-throw percentage. Rodney Stuckey ($3) - Was on my developmental roster and I had to activate him or lose him. I don't think Michael Curry was a good influence on any of the Pistons last year. Rashard Lewis ($18) - Does more than Deng and is cheaper. Ron Artest ($10) - The free spirit in me made me do it. Andrei Kirilenko ($8) - I'm a ...

My First Hoops Draft in Three Years

... finished 11th and 12th in my home 12-team league the last two years I had played, barely making any transactions the latter year. This was a league that I had started with friends from college and law school and had geeked out enough to write a weekly newsletter called "Snide Remarks" with my co-commish. Our league was called the Snide Rotisserie League. Yeah, I had no girlfriend at the time, obviously. Now I have a wife and two kids, in addition to all of my other leagues. But once Ron Artest went into the stands (I'm nominally a Pacers fan), destroying a good team, it ...
