1.    What're Yi Doing?: The least shocking news of the day was the announcement of Yi Jianlian's Chinese team the Beijing Tigers that it would not permit him to sign with the Bucks.  According to Beijing's owner Chen Haitao: "This is not -- as media reports have said -- because Milwaukee, as a city with very few Chinese people, is not good for Yi's commercial development.  Rather we want to find a team suitable for Yi's growth. That's the root of the problem."  It's not quite … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Dallas Mavericks 7/12    Re-sign Devean George 7/13    Re-sign Jerry Stackhouse The Stackhouse re-signing was an interest decision.  Stack is not young (33) and has had knee issues but he was a key player for the Mavs off the bench last year.  The extension is reported at three years and $18 million.  It's hard to know where Stackhouse will be in three years.  Last year is difficult for predictive value because it was so uncharacteristic of his career.  Previously, Stack was a … [Read more...] about Transactions: 7/2-7/13

Atlanta Hawks 6/28    Draft Al Horford and Acie Law IV Horford looks like a nice pick.  He should develop into the power rebounder that the Hawks don't quite have.  The only question is whether he develops into a solid pro (a la Otis Thorpe) or whether Horford will do some scoring.  The pick renders last year's high power forward pick, Shelden Williams, as nothing more than a reserve.  Of course, Williams does not look like he was ever as talented as Horford to begin … [Read more...] about Transactions 4/14-7/1

1.    Finals Fallout: Not the most memorable Finals, to say the least, but let's see where the participants go from here: -Cleveland Cavaliers: Obviously, it was a nice year for the Cavs but what happens now?  Cleveland has made steady progress since LeBron James came to town but a Finals appearance at this point seemed decidedly ahead of schedule.  James still looks really raw and the talent around him is not great.  As for future improvements, the team is right up at the … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts

1.    Bowen and LeBron: I thought the last play of Game 3 was called correctly.  With the Cavs down three, Bruce Bowen tried to intentionally foul LeBron James.  James broke free, however, and just missed an open three.  Some had felt that the foul should've been called and that the Cavs got somewhat screwed.  Bowen did foul James but the foul was before the shot and would've been worth two free throws and would've allowed the Spurs to effectively run out the clock.  Unless Bowen … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts

1.    Finals Preview: On paper, Cavs-Spurs seems like a mismatch.  Yes, the Cavs are playing very well.  Yes, the Cavs are 2-0 against the Spurs.  But the Spurs are playing at a really high level and the Cavs are weaker at almost every position.  Can we really gleam the winning formula the Cavs two wins against the Spurs?  In fact, the first game was the second game of the season and the later meeting right after New Years (January 2nd).  Here is the recap of those two … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts
