Do you think they clearly got the better end of the Villanueva trade? I don't pay much attention to either of these pretty terrible teams (although it's funny I should say that because right now Toronto is leading the Atlantic and Milwaukee would also make the playoffs...man the East SUCKS).

It was a good trade for both teams. Ford is playing very well and Villanueva was playing well before his injuries ranking second on the team in scoring and first in rebounding. Ford's replacement Mo Williams is averaging 18, 6, and 5 and just won the EC player of the week when he averaged 26, 9, and 7.

Both teams traded from a position of strength to fill a weakness.

Artdogg,

Suns, obv. The poll should have been "by how much". [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

nice game by portland last night against a seriously depleted Hornets squad.

They're not gonna get a sniff at Oden if they keep going like this.

I've said trade Randolph before, but I might've lied. I keep expecting him to hit a reality speed bump but the truth is he's been just awesome from game 1. His worst game this year was 17 pts, 7 rebs vs Minne (I'm sure KG had a hand in that) He's had a couple of 18-point games too, other than that its been 20, 10+ every night.

I am not convinced they need him. I like the Pryzbilla/Aldridge combo, but Oden's potential is immense.

Dallas was a +2 favorite last I saw on Bodog. The game's in Dallas also. I expect big games from Dirk, JHo, Terry, Nash, Marion, Amare, Barbosa, frickin' everyone! 110-107 Suns!

Article on Kwame from his rookie year

This was posted in BBV. The unintentional comedy is off the walls.

As a fan of the Celtics (Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Kendrick Perkins, and Al Jefferson), I found this article enlightening to what goes on for a prep to pros player.

heh, second page won't load. Amazing article up until that point.

Memphis coach Mike Fratello fired! I don't really watch the Grizzlies, but I don't see what he was supposed to do w/ them trading Battier for a young Gay & Pau being injured.
