I'm gonna start with I was a big T-Mac fan back in the day, BUT... there was never any point that I ever considered him to be the best player in the league. Even during his scoring title years, he didn't even compare with guys like Duncan or Shaq, IMO.

Also, I don't think he's a HoFer.

Rose might be out against the Heat with a sore groin. If he doesn't play that game might be unwatchable.

He's gets a $25,000 fine, has a sore groin after practice, and gets in a fender bender later in the day. That's a bad day.

Explosive point guard Monta Ellis re-signed Thursday with the Golden State Warriors for six years and $66 million US on Thursday.

Ellis, a 22-year-old restricted free agent, will combine in the backcourt with 24-year-old Kelenna Azubuike, whose three-year, $9-million US offer sheet from the Los Angeles Clippers was matched by Golden State earlier in the day.

"We're absolutely thrilled to have Monta under contract for the next several years," Warriors executive vice-president Chris Mullin said. "He has been one of the top young players in the NBA for the last two years."

Ellis averaged 20.2 averaged, 5.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 38.0 minutes in 81 games last season.

"[He] enjoyed a tremendous season last year," Mullin said. "The growth that he has demonstrated at such a young age is incredible, and we look forward to him playing a big part in our future success."

Ellis is a career 48.5 per cent shooter, averaing 15.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 31.9 minutes in 207 NBA games, including 128 starts, since he was drafted in the second round (40th overall) out of high school by Golden State in 2005.

Ellis was named the NBA's most improved player in 2006-07, when he averaged 16.5 points — nearly 10 points higher than in his rookie campaign.

Golden State was seeking to solify its backcourt to offset the loss of free agent Baron Davis, who signed a five-year, $65-million US deal with the Clippers.

What a difference a few years makes in the NBA.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Not that it has much to do with anything but all this Dwight watch talk had me looking at him and Bynum and their last 5 games, very comparable.

SHEESH Drew is a much better ft shooter he's improved the last two weeks or so.

Anthony is not jealous of Jeremy Lin’s global fame, according to the source. Lin, the source said, is Anthony’s favorite teammate, and Anthony feels they could be like the Thunder duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. New York Post

Re: NBA Off Topic



I sure hope the Wizards don't get the #1 pick in the draft.

They'll ruin what seems to be a good kid in Anthony Davis.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Has any team ever demoted their whole roster to the D-League?

The Wizards should consider it. Outside of Wall.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Come on guys, Nick Young and JaVale McGee making a funny video during the lockout is hardly a sign of anything. There's lots of legitimate on the court problems with JaVale McGee, nothing wrong with that video.

Y'all expect guys to be constantly playing basketball in the offseason or something.
