NBA Predictions 2010-11

by 3 Comments

After an unusually long off-season, 2010-11 is finally here!  And we better enjoy it.  While the Miami Heat will dominate everyone's attention the larger story is that the 2011-12 season is very much in doubt.  The labor stoppage seems likely and won't be pretty.  But let's not worry about the future.  This season is one of the more anticipated season in a while.  The Heat's new core is probably the most covered pre-season team since the 1995-96 Bulls that featured Michael Jordan in … [Read more...] about NBA Predictions 2010-11

New Jersey Nets 9/7    Waived Sean May 9/10   Signed Joe Smith 9/24   Signed Eddie Gill The Nets initially took a flier on May but he looks like he won't be healthy any time soon if ever.  Instead, Smith comes to town.  Smith had his worse pro season in terms of PER and minutes played.  He wasn't terrible and it is possible that the deep Hawks frontcourt relegated Smith to a smaller role and caused him to have a much lower shooting percentage than he would've had with more … [Read more...] about Transactions: 8/17-9/28 Part 2

Atlanta Hawks 9/2    Signed Etan Thomas Only 32, Thomas hasn't been healthy or very good since 2006-07.  While he was a nice player at one point, it's hard for me to believe that he can get back to that level from four years ago.  The Hawks have plenty of big bodies already so Thomas will just be another six fouls and if he still has some skills it'll only be gravy. Boston Celtics 9/1    Signed Delonte West On the surface, West's return to Boston is a nice bench player for a … [Read more...] about Transactions: 8/17-9/28 Part 1

FIBA Tournament Post Script

1.    We Got Gold...Yay?: The evolution of the United States view on international basketball competition has drastically changed over the years.  In the late 1980s, the fact that our collegians couldn't guarantee a gold medal bothered the U.S. committee enough to authorize the use of pros by 1992.  After a few years of success with NBAers, the world caught up enough to beat the U.S. pros in the early 2000s.  Now the U.S. committee has "professionalized" the whole process, having a … [Read more...] about FIBA Tournament Post Script

Orlando Magic 7/15    Matched offer tendered to J.J. Reddick 8/4      Re-signed Jason Williams I was a little surprised to see Orlando bring back Williams after previously giving Chris Duhon a moderately generous four-year deal.   But, as we noted last time, Williams is probably a better short term bet and he has agreed to a one-year contract.  The worst that could happen is that Duhon or Williams falls to third string, neither of which is too big a deal.   Reddick's return … [Read more...] about Transactions 7/14-8/16 Part 3
