    He's a terrific fit next to Drummond. I think Orlando got hosed in that deal.

    That's why Stan nixed the Monte deal, Tobias is a perfect trade steal...

    Just because Vlade says it doesn't mean it's true, but it should put the Boogie trade speculation in the trash can until something changes or Boogie blows his top again.

    Agreed. The fact that they are going to try out another coach in Joerger makes me believe Vlade that Boogie is off the table for now. They'll try to make that work, like you said at least until Boogie has his next meltdown.

    I don't see Cousins melting down with a coach like Joerger. I think Joerger brings stability to this franchise...George Karl was just the absolute wrong coach to deal with someone like Cousins, especially when he said he wants him traded. Joerger will be a breath of fresh air and he's much younger so he can relate to Cousins in a much better way than Karl ever could. It's too bad because I thought Luke Walton could have brought out the best in DeMarcus Cousins....but no way he gets traded now...or maybe Vlade will start asking for the farm once again for us to pry him away from them.

    Utah Jazz got a new logo and everything:

    Looks nice. Retro, yet with modern edges at the same time. The J kinda looks like an iPhone app or something. I guess that's the trend these days.

    It finally happened. And I suspect this is just the beginning. The day I see advertisements all over my beloved purple and gold Lakers jerseys is a sad, sad day

    I wonder how many people would actually take the time to take off that patch when they buy their swingman replica jerseys?

    My understanding is the jerseys for sale wouldn't have them. At least for now.

    Ah what could have been. I loved Bynum as a player.

    He isn't even able to take the Kings to the playoffs...I think he is a very good player with sometimes amazing games...but truth be told, Cousins is not a winner, he is also not a leader.

    He is also a nightmare to deal with for coaches.
