Saw some pics of Greg Oden at some ping pong tournament and he probably looks in better shape than he was ever in at Portland

Kinda similar to how I feel about what they've done in Detroit. Though I'm not a Pistons fan, so their opinions might be a bit different:

Though I haven't played NBA basketball ever before, so what do I know.
Good article. It may all go to crap, but we are at least semi relevant again. We should be exciting to watch, and no one knows what will happen. In our starting line up there are spacing issues, but there are plenty of players that can shoot off the bench. We also have a couple of valuable expirings in CV and Stuckey to use as trade bait.

I'm looking forward to the season, let's see what we can do.

Now confirmed that John Wall gets himself a 5-year $80 million contract with teh Wizards.

Good move? Bad move? Too early move?

I think it had to be done. If Wall has a consistant season playing at the level he played towards the end of last season then it's gonna look like a smart move. Pressure is on Wall to perform now though.

It's a fine move Wall will never reach his potential because he's jumpshot is broken and not fixable but hes an above average PG that might make an all star game or two.

It's not broken and it is fixable but it does need a fair bit of improvement and he's better than just "above average" as a PG, he's got a great running mate in Beal and it's only now that he's getting competent teammates.

Wall will be fine.

its good for wall. he probably has wash bent over anyway. they have to keep him, but know that the team stinks, and wall has potential to be a gun. potential.
