watching David Lee and Nate Robinson take apart Dallas, why can’t we get guys like that? :)

Golden State wanted STAT a few years back, right? Come on, Lee for STAT! It would be a good move for the Knicks and it might maybe kinda sorta be a good move for the Warriors! It’s not like Lee is some under-the-radar guy, he’s making $11.6 million this year (by the way, I had no idea that the difference in salary between he and STAT was that significant) and the Warriors are on the hook for his contract for a full year longer than STAT’s contract, meaning the tail end of the Lee deal will likely be pretty brutal, so the Warriors have some reason for making the trade! Aw, who am I kidding? STAT is untradeable (for anyone good, that is).

2FOR18: Side note – I was there when they beat Seattle in the playoffs a million years ago – just wondering if you were there for that, as it was the best sports experience of my life. Deke, Mahmoud, Fonz, Pack, Stith,,,, that team was my fav of all time, and I’m a Knicks fan.“NO ONE SCORES IN THE HOUSE OF MUTOMBO!!!!”“RAUF THERE IT IS!”

Haha, yeah that was a lot of fun.

ruruland: Denver wanted to re-sign Melo…. Pay him a max contract and continue to build the offense around him… So that doesn’t quite fit your theory. Now, if you’re talking about the Denver fanbase, that’s the same fanbase that turned on John Elway when he said a few bad things about Tim Tebow– these are the kind of people you’re talking about.The same fans who turned on Jay Cutler when he was traded, and just a year later changed their tune on Cutler once McDaniels was fired. This is the same fanbase that booed Jake Plummer a year after leading his team to the AFC championship game, that booed Antonio McDyess when he came back, and that will turn on any player, regardless of their historical contribution, if they show the slightest desire to, regardless of circumstance,play elsewhere.

Your posts are very detailed with statistical back-up, but it seems that you feel that you are the only person in the world who understands basketball. Your post comparing Melo to Durant jumped the shark – I lost respect for your objectivity with that post – please retract that comparison. Melo is a poor man’s Bernard King, and he is as dumb as a brick.

“RAUF THERE IT IS!”

jon abbey: by the way, if you want to tout largely irrelevant real world credentials, I was the co-captain of what I believe was the strongest US collegiate fencing team ever (Columbia, back to back NCAA titles my junior/senior years) and covered the Olympics for Time Magazine and NBC. http://erstwhilerecords.blogspot.com/2008/07/best-ever.html

That’s some funny shit. I just have to credit where credit is due.
