Golden State Warriors  7/27    Waived Jermareo Davidson 7/30    Traded Marco Belinelli to Toronto for Devean George and cash 9/2      Signed Mikki Moore 9/15    NBA fines Stephen Jackson $25,000 for making public statements detrimental to the NBA  On the surface, Belinelli for George is a "who cares" type of trade.  Their salaries are pretty close but Belinelli is young and potentially useful as a designated shooter, while George is the definition of filler.  It's not clear why … [Read more...] about Transactions 7/10-9/22 Part II

Atlanta Hawks 7/13    Re-signed Mike Bibby and Zaza Pachulia 7/14    Traded rights to David Andersen to Houston for a second-round draft pick, cash, and future considerations 8/7      Re-signed Marvin Williams 8/25    Signed Joe Smith 9/2      Signed Jason Collins That was somewhat unexpected.  Not only did the Hawks bring back most of their role players but they did it at a pretty cheap price.  Of course, the Hawks had already made the decision not to overpay for their … [Read more...] about Transactions 7/10-9/22 Part I

Hall Thoughts

by 4 Comments

The news of the week has been the induction of Michael Jordan, David Robinson, and John Stockton into the Hall of Fame.  While there really isn't too much to actually say about the fact that they are now in the Hall but I thought we could quickly look at the issues of the day and throw in our two cents: -MJ's Speech:  Apparently Jordan's speech has been a bit of a hot button issue.  I didn't watch the whole thing but, from what I saw, the theme of the speech was basically that MJ talked about … [Read more...] about Hall Thoughts

We now turn to the 1980s, the first huge decade for the NBA in terms of popularity.  The decade is remembered as the time the Lakers and Celtics battled toe-to-toe for the title every year and Magic and Bird ran the show.  This isn't an incorrect perception but is it really that simple?  Wasn't there more to it?  Well...maybe.  Let's take a closer look at the 1980s and see. -Team of the Decade: While not as dominant as the Bulls in the 1990s, the Lakers do seem like the best of the 1980s, … [Read more...] about Decade Review: 1980s

Quick Thoughts

1.    Leaders of the 00s: What do we call the decade from 2000 to 2009?  Calling it "the 2000s" makes it sounds like we're referring to the whole century and the aughts, the technical name for the decade sounds a little silly.  Perhaps the 00s makes the most sense?  Not really sure but we'll stick with the 00s today.  In any case, this decade is coming to a close and I was debating with a friend who exactly is the team of the 00s?  The first thing to determine is when this decade actually … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts
