		<description>Joe has lost his mind. No other team will pay him that kind of money. He is just a good player.  Not a franchise player or anything like that. He was lucky with this past contract of 70 Million over five years.  Let him go and use that cap money to get WADE or somebody better than him.</description>

		<description>Why did he need to comment on this situation now and thereby create a season-long distraction? Oh well, this team isn&#039;t going to win the East anyway.</description>

		<description>In terms of the VC vs. Tuk debate:  Obviously, we will not really know how it will work until the season starts. VC is very talented, probably has more skill than Turk in some ways.  I am one that tends to believe that the move will hurt the Magic.  Turk is a better facilitator and his size really created problems for other teams when playing with Lewis.  I also think that the Magic WAY over paid for Gortat.  But, the addition of Bass can really change that teams ability to score in the post with either him or Howard cleaning the boards off the back side.  I think the addition of Bass more than makes up for any possible drop with the VC move.  I think Orlando or Clevland is the team to beat in the East.  Boston is most likely (didn&#039;t say it would happen) to drop out of the top three.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s up crew?  Hope everyone had a good weekend. 
Ray- sorry about that, I guess I was in a stirring things up mood.  I know you were just teasing with me, but I actually do feel bad about going after truth-serum.  If I think he is being inappropriate for insulting other people, how am I any better by insulting him?

So that being said, I would like to apologize.</description>

What&#039;s up, man? I really feel bad for Crittenton. I think he&#039;s a good kid and a good talent. He&#039;s gotta get a break somewhere, sometime. I hope, anyway. &lt;strong&gt; Doc &lt;/strong&gt; is around, he&#039;s saving his verve for the regular season. &lt;strong&gt; Ando &lt;/strong&gt; is around (I think), and we&#039;re doing the fan blog again. It&#039;s called Hawks Fan Nest now. 

I wouldn&#039;t sweat it too much with Flip Saunders. He&#039;s a decent/good coach. He couldn&#039;t optimize what he had in Detroit, but then I&#039;m not sure anybody outside of Larry Brown really could. Popovich or Sloan, maybe. Or Rudy Tomjanovich. Maybe even Pat Riley. Flip wasn&#039;t in the best spot, but he did have those guys winning. They just couldn&#039;t stay at the very top of the Eastern conference. Not that Joe Dumars was a big help...



&lt;strong&gt; Nire &lt;/strong&gt;, 


I wouldn&#039;t wait on that...</description>

		<description>Richbrave,

I think Arenas thinks he can pick up right where he left off, and that he&#039;ll shoot accordingly.  That, combined with the atrocious frontcourt that Washington has, could make for a very long season.  And I&#039;m still waiting for someone to tell me who exactly will play on-ball defense for the Wiz besides Oberto...</description>

		<description>BIG RAY:

FLASH&#039;s point about BROWN knowing how to utilize his talent and SAUNDERS being clueless in that regard makes me break out in a sweat over the &#039;ZARDS. Not that last season didn&#039;t leave a clammy chill on my bones. I see the anointed one is out already, but with a broken finger rather than his knee. That hasn&#039;t really been tested yet. I wonder if anyone really believes GILBO will pick up where he left off two years ago, and be a super-star after THREE knee jobs. No way IMO.</description>
