15 hours 39 min ago I had Obama.   His speech

I had Obama.  
His speech was pretty much about how we need to be nicer to and more open-minded and tolerable of people with opposing views and methods, i.e. the Republicans were giving him a hard time.
Granholm briefly spoke before him, and she just kissed Barack's ass, probably in the hopes of securing a cabinet position at some point. I was embarrassed for her but everybody else seemed too caught up in the hype.
I knew the student speaker, Alex Marston, and that was the coolest part, so the whole thing was pretty memorable.

This was just...so strange. Probably not her debut, and on-site instead of in-studio, but still as bizarre  as BGTD and fuckin' shit guy.

4 weeks 6 days ago What logjam? Brandon Knight

What logjam?

Brandon Knight only played the 2 because Calderon was brought in.  He may be well-suited as a combo guard off the bench, but if he starts I want him at PG.
Stuckey's contract is only partially guaranteed and expires in 2014.  I want him the fuq out of here.  Cut, traded, allowed to expire, whatever, he's not in my future plans.
Corey Maggette has expired, barely played, and isn't coming back.
Kim English will be a 2nd year player, and, I admit, I am a fan and want him in the rotation.

Assuming no Calderon return, the following players are under contract:
Knight
Stuckey/English
Singler/Middleton
Monroe/Villanueva
Drummond/Kravtsov

If it's me, I'm drafting Oladipo or McLemore to start at SG and moving Stuckey to the bench where he will languish and wither and die (or, back up both guard positions).

4 weeks 6 days ago Lotto Picks y/n? on Burke

Y Orlando-31year old Jameer Nelson, 30 year old journeyman Beno Udrih

N Charlotte-Has Kemba Walker who put up 18/6 last year.

N Cleveland-Kyrie Irving.

N Phoenix- Has 15/7 Goran Dragic and spent a lotto pick on Kendall Marshall last year.

N New Orleans-Has 14/9 Greivis Vasquez and needs to figure out a way to get Austin Rivers to work alongside Eric Gordon.

Y Sacramento-Could use Burke. No PG play to write home about.

Y Washington-Should take Burke if they can, John Wall has been so injury prone and could walk away as a free agent.

N Detroit-Doesn't need him. I'd take McLemore #1 if I had to. 

N Minnesota-Ricky Rubio.

N Portland-ROY Damian Lillard

Y Toronto-Could use Burke. Kyle Lowry hasnt exactly worked out.

Maybe Philadelphia-Has young 18/8 Jrue Holiday, but no backup.

Y Dallas-Needs any young player with a pulse.

Y Utah-Needs Burke.  PGs are old and journeymen (Earl Watson, Mo Williams, Jamaal Tinsley).

5 weeks 8 hours ago From where I'm sitting, they

From where I'm sitting, they mesh just fine.  The issue isn't that they don't play well together, but that they could have developed even more chemistry had the move to start both been made sooner.

5 weeks 8 hours ago 'have', not 'of'.  Third post

'have', not 'of'.  Third post in a row=you're out.

5 weeks 9 hours ago Hey guys! That one legendary

Hey guys! That one legendary guy we've all heard about that has never committed a typo: THIS IS HIM! On OUR board!

5 weeks 10 hours ago I figure he burned too many

I figure he burned too many bridges in his playing days and the old boy network just doesn't support him.  It's one thing to win and then reveal yourself as an ass, as Popovich has done, it's another to be vilified by every fanbase outside of Detroit and then try to get into the front office.

5 weeks 10 hours ago HIM.

5 weeks 4 days ago (No subject)

5 weeks 5 days ago How do you figure? A team is

How do you figure?

A team is much more likely to invest in and a PG picked in the top 10 (Burke) than the Magic gave to Nelson, taken 20th overall.  

5 weeks 5 days ago They can skip college and go

They can skip college and go to the NBDL. Latavious Williams did so. It didn't work out so well for him.

Players have to be 19 or one year removed from high school, whichever comes later, to be NBA draft eligible.

5 weeks 5 days ago Jameer is an eerily excellent

Jameer is an eerily excellent comparison.
 

Their PPG in college are 16.8 vs 16.9.
Their overall FG% in college were 45% vs 45.4%
Their FT% in college are 77.7% vs 78.6%
Their 3PT% in college are/were 36.5 and 36.7
Their assists per game in college are both 5.7.
Jameer's pro A/TO ratio is 2.32, while Burke's is 2.28.
Jameer's pro SPG per 36 minutes is 1.2, Burke had 1.3 steals per game in 35.7 minutes in college.

Both were AP Player of the year, won the Wooden, and won the Naismith awards.

If Burke's floor is Jameer Nelson, who made one all-star game in the NBA, that's not half bad.  

5 weeks 6 days ago You're thinking of Derrick

You're thinking of Derrick Favors out of Georgia Tech, who went third behind John Wall and Evan Turner in 2010.

Derrick Williams of Arizona went #2 to Minnesota TWolves behind #1 pick Kyrie Irving in 2011.

5 weeks 6 days ago Just for that, now I hope

Just for that, now I hope Blue effing CRUSHES Maize.
