NBA 2009 Regular Season

[shortguy]

Nuts! That's what happens when you don't finish the paragraph.

Trade chatter heating up...Chad Ford thinks A'mare has a 50% chance of being moved. Big Z and change to the Wizards for Jamison seems to be the most talked about rumor, but don't be surprised to see Portland trade Miller for Haywood.

Cavs lose Mo for a month, but beat the Lakers anyway. They are hitting the soft part of their schedule, so hopefully they wont drop too much ground to the Celtics (up 4 games) or the Magic.

Arenas and Crittenton suspended for the season

[Zack]

Western Conference scout on the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Lakers in the West

"To beat the Lakers you have to have multiple scorers. So I'll say Dallas if you force me to pick someone. They're loaded. They come off the bench with good players and to me the Lakers have no bench. I like the size Dallas has with [Erick] Dampier and [Drew] Gooden. Dallas is an interesting team. If they're firing at the right time, they can cause more trouble to the Lakers than anybody.

 

[Azale]

So Dallas has a mediocre chance to break their fans hearts in the Finals again? I'll take it!

 

[DMOC]

I support Dallas (my favorite team) but they have a very slim chance of winning the NBA championship.

 

[Azale]

To be fair, their chances would be pretty good if Memphis hadn't decided to screw the rest of the NBA over 2 years ago.

 

[Zack]

I don't think they have a very good chance at winning the championship, the quote basically just says they're the second best team in the West.

 

[DMOC]

Third really, since Denver is technically better according to records. But I still think Cleveland wins it all this year.

Do you have to remind me of my pain!

Dallas should be an interesting team to watch at the deadline. They have a few pieces (Josh Howard, Roquie, J.J Barea, Erika Dampier's expiring contract) that could be useful in a trade. If they can bring in a dynamic two guard (Kevin Martin, Iggy) or an upgrade at Center (Haywood?), they could really challenge the Lakers in a 7 game.

In other news, Boston goes 6-8 over the month, and now only has a 4.5 game lead over Toronto. Trade chatter with Ray Allen is starting to heat up...can the Celts ever get healthy enough? Do they need to make a deal?

 

[NBAfan]

Dallas is not going to move Dampier untill the summer. He is a big sign and trade chip.

How about they keep Howard and package him with Dampier to snag one of the big free-agents.

Dampier's worth is a de-facto expiring contract (his last year is a team option, which won't be picked up). He could easily be dealt to a team trying to trim payroll before the deadline.

He's actually have a pretty good season too.

He is having a good year. Dampier is not going to be delt right now, he is to valuable to the team.

Yah..... The Wizards are now really screwed for the year.
