Jalen Rose and Jeff Van Gundy part of the ESPN blood letting, part 38. Ack, Jeff is the best. Hope he lands with TNT. Mark Jackson stays, ugh. I agree with your sentiments. Both about Van Gundy and Jackson. Thanks for keeping this thread updated with the transactions, by the way.

I donβt know. 20 million dollars a year for a guy who canβt shoot, on average is a very good to excellent defender but is ineffective and embarrassed by elite players?

www.nba.com/news/grant-williams-three-team-tradeLooks like Grant Williams is now a member of the Dallas Mavericks. Tough loss for the Celtics, but many predicted he would leave because of financial reasons. At least Boston gets some draft picks. Iβm gonna throw out a name for the Celtics to replace Grant: Dwight Howard. Heβs looking for another shot in the NBA. They could sign him for the veteran minimum. Heβd be a good big man for them off the bench. I know heβs had issues in the past, but I think heβs matured a lot over the years. I donβt see him being a distraction or someone who will cause issues. I think heβll take on any role the team is willing to give him especially if he can compete for another championship.

Grant guards bigs, as well as wings off the dribble; and he knocks down threes off of kickouts. How would Dwight Howard replace that?

It sounds like the two finalists play an 83 game season, but I can't figure out whether any teams play 81.

Come on, Dame - you want to go to Miami so badly, wait until you're a free agent. You don't have a no-trade clause, so you don't get to demand a trade to a specific team.

In today's NBA, the players can do whatever they want. Even free agency doesn't really matter anymore. You can sign a guy to a four year deal, and after a season's worth of pouting, he'll demand a trade if they don't immediately win a title with the handpicked all-stars he also forced you to trade for/sign. "You'll be trading for an unhappy player." And what does that mean, he'll pout and quit on his team? How do we distinguish a happy player from an unhappy one in today's NBA?

So I think a combination of him and Howard should be a suitable Williams replacement. Dwight is good at guarding in the paint, which I donβt think should be overlooked.
