At least Amare was smart enough to know that Battier would've flopped had he actually tried to help him up.

Bucks @ $8.20 to win the central division

Bulls and Pacers favourites.

Great value

''It was absolutely fantastic. It was a great game for the fans,'' Nets center Brook Lopez said. ''Having two great teams in New York, the fans are in the best position of all.''

Greatness is decided in the first 13 games of a new season.

You would be keen?

You do realise that Amar'e can actually play basketball with Steve Nash (and Felton) right?

 

[Primetime Pricey]

of course. Paul is a better rebounder and has 2 years left on his contract.
I would try and do a Pau and MWP for Amare and Novak trade

65 million in 3 seasons worth? 23-28 with him in the lineup and 23-9 without... if you can deal him, you do it

I'm not saying the Knicks shouldn't get rid of him. Felton and Amar'e actually ran the pick and roll together very well in late 2010 and early 2011 before the whole Melo drama took over. Nash makes Amar'e very good and if the Lakers somehow get Amar'e and he stays healthy, he makes them better. Now that's not to say he's a better player than Gasol but he fits in with Nash and D'Antoni far better. If anyone doubts me, just go watch a Suns game from 2006-2010 with Nash and Amar'e.

Now that we've destroyed the Godcats, does anyone seriously still think we aren't the best in the west?

If the Lakers get Amare I dont see how he makes them better. They dont fit an MDA system now, they certainly won't with Amar'e. Sure the Suns were great back in the day, but they played Amar'e at the 5 and had great shooters. Replacing Pau with Amar'e doesnt solve their problems, tbh it just makes them worse.

Edit- just to clarify, if you have Dwight, you don't need Amare, there are far more glaring needs on the rost you can offload Pau to address

He fits in better than Gasol does. That's all I'm saying.

OMG you are right! we should base everything on those years

Again, You destroyed the Bobcats, Well done.

Not even the second best team in the west

He's had a bad run with injuries but he can definitely still do what he did in Phoenix when given the chance and when healthy. Gasol isn't exactly worth keeping if D'Antoni can't find a way to use him.
