Damn it. I thought Turk would join the Trail Blazers.

He made an excuse that 'his wife wanted Toronto because of it looks more like an European lifestyle,' only God knows if he is lying or not.

Either way, I guess he will get the additional millions that was in his mind.

I only REALLY started watching basketball this past season (other times I have been reading about it), however, when does next season start?

November... :(

[Habib]

Oh gosh. That's a GOOD 4 months from now and really far away. Damn I will for sure miss it -- I followed the NBA so religiously and it was only when I first moved to Canada for university lol. Damn man.

Yeah I'm pretty pissed that Hedo screwed the Blazers over like that. They are now pursuing David Lee which would make me happy though

[Habib]

Honestly I just think the only thing that the Trail Blazers need is a healthy Greg Oden. If only that guy could stay healthy and play to his projected potential, and at the most consistently score 12 points and grab 12 rebounds, they are easily a #2 seed in the west.

Dang....if everyone can stay healthy that's a lethal team. Wait...isn't Wallace a PF like Garnett? They would have to go with a small C or have Wallace play off the bench. With Wallace starting it would have to look something like that:

PG Rondo
SF Allen
SF Pierce
PF/C Wallace
PF/C Garnett

Can Garnett or Wallace play as full time centers?

[Habib]

Garnett and Wallace are power forwards, they won't play as full time centers.

PG Rondo
SG Ray Allen
SF Paul Pierce
PF KG
C Kendrick Perkins

I think Rasheed Wallace will have to play a reduced role, the the sixth man coming off the bench replacing Garnett at the PF.

I think Wallace can play as full time center though, not KG however. Rasheed Wallace is just stronger.

[trashtalkr]

I understand that KG and Wallace aren't usually centers, but I just can't picture Wallace coming off the bench. His ego and attitude would predict that he would want a primary role on that team

[AYHJA]

I don't like that move...That's either saying that K.G. isn't expected to be healthy, or that Sheed is in the downside of his career...Neither one of them are true centers, and that's not going to help them beat L.A...
