    Latest trade idea picking up steam is Howard to the Lakers and Bynum to the Cavs. Cavs give up Varejao and picks plus they and the Lakers absorb some Orlando contracts

    Bynum and Kyrie would be nice dont like the trade for Orlando really though Varejao is productive and works hard but not exactly inspiring for a fan base

    I would love to see Lakers keep Bynum and Gasol. Maybe moving Gasol closer to the rim somehow could work, and giving him more touches. Also, I wouldn't want kobe taking over 20 shots a game.

    Jason Kidd arrested for DWI good start for the Knicks , must have dawned on him that he was playing for them and it depressed him. He needs to stop acting like a kid... Ahh that was awful haha

    Linsanity is on its deathbed with the acquisition of Raymond Felton who had a good year with the Knicks before. Dunno how getting Lin effects Rockets pursuit of Dwight it will stop them taking back so much **** from the Magic because their cap number though I think

    I think he just realised that he's Jason Kidd and he can do whatever he wants.

    The thing I like about FIBA basketball is how physical it's allowed to be. This is a big reason why the U.S. has been able to cause as many turnovers as they have.

    Ive kinda gone of the rail on bball only to come back and find that Linsanity has gone to Rockets :eek: Not too surprised but thought Knicks would keep him for the marketing value if anything.

    Looking at the USA team. Am I the only one that thinks oof the as Dream Team mk II. Expect most to be Hall of Famers.

    Imagine if Bynum could play too:

    PG: CP3/Rose/D-Will
    SG: Kobe/Wade
    SF: Lebron/Durant/Melo
    PF: Love/Bosh
    C: Howard/Bynum

    Starting: CP3, Kobe, Durant, Lebron, Howard. Domination.

    I was there at the GB - USA game, was quite literally like watching an exhibition match. After watching all last season online you don't actually realize how ****ing fast the pass to each other!! Awesome experience, wish I could have got some decent pictures / video's but it was strictly no camera's, every time I got mine out this moody cow would storm down and threaten to have me removed :unimpressed: ... Don't ask me why!

    Just all round awesome to see the players in real life!
