When draft day comes, the trick is to
load up on guys in the early round who
have the highest probability of carrying your squad, and then to spend the middle and late rounds filling out the roster with as many potential breakout candidates as possible. In other words, these guys.

There’s a clear-cut consensus top four tight ends

Contracts aside, on paper this is a great
fit for Okafor. needs to be paired with another
big man who can not just compensate for the lack of point production but also hit mid-range jumpers to stretch defenses and make his job a lot easier in the post and on the glass. David West can be that guy.

It was a real, vivid snapshot of one
of the most bizarre, fascinating and almost painfully simplistic
and childish personalities the NBA has seen over the last 15 years. 24 hours in his skull. What a trip. So what was your favorite quote from the Starbury oracular spectacular?

It may be hard to give up on
Randy Foye for Wolves fans. But the bottom line
in the Wolves and Wizards deal? Buying and selling delusion. Minnesota sold, Washington bought.

No more games to play. No more competitors
to best. No more questions to answer. The Lake
Show is the best from east to west. The biggest, baddest, toughest band of ballers in the world. And yet, while I’m happy, what I feel mostly is relief tinged with emptiness.

Like the legend of the apostle Thomas demanding
to stick his finger in Jesus’ wounds in order
to prove that Jesus had actually risen from the dead, I, too, would have demanded the gory proof that Kobe Bryant was capable of choking. Friends, I am a witness.

Like eating those first few bites of an
outstanding steak, one that you know you’re going to
savor and remember for awhile, the display of basketball that the Lakers put on Thursday night makes you think that Game One is the genesis of what is going to be a very tasty journey to a championship.

After an excellent, heated first game to the
proceedings, we now know three things: one, the Lakers
can hang with these upstart Nuggets. Two, the Nuggets can hang with these incumbent Western champ Lakers. And three, this is going to be one hell of a series.

The difference between Game 4 and Game 5
for the Lakers against Houston is like the difference
between a grungy dive bar with sticky floors offering two dollar Tecate in can and the plush lobby watering hole of a five star hotel known for it’s potent and pricey specialty martinis.

As someone who hails from another of America’s
small-market sports cities in Minneapolis I would love nothing
more than to see LeBron stay and rack up rings in the Midwest. But I’ve also seen enough to know that world-class athletes can only be expected to give so much, and for so long, before...

If the Lakers are real title contenders, they

Houston has its best chance of advancing past
the first round in 10 seasons - and the
only thing that has to do with Tracy McGrady is the fact he’s been in Chicago rehabbing his knee rather than suiting up in Rockets red.
