Lebron is a good defender, in short spurts and when he wants to be. Usually spends his time guarding someone who is not an offensive threat so he can cheat off and help though.

The whole MVP race between him and Durant is a media fabricated bunch of crap to try to keep some excitement about the discussion.

Agreed and I love Durant but the media is kidding themselves if Lebron isn't the runaway favorite to win MVP.

My friend and I were just discussing this trade.

IMO, it doesn't make any sense for either team this year. However, it definitely helps LA moving into next season...

I doubt Dwight re-signs with Boston, so Boston would be doing this as a cap move.

You know the shitty part?

LA should have CP3 and Dwight right now. And Gasol wouldn't be an issue.

CP3
Kobe
Metta
Clark
Dwight

Damn you David Stern.

Bobcats win by 13 at Orlando.

Henderson and Kemba with 24
Mullens goes 20/12

Any chance a contender takes a flyer on Mullens? Since his return from his ankle injury he played at 20ppg and 9.5 rb.

Went to the Cavs game recently when Charlotte was in town. Sat right behind Dion's mom... Anyway, BJ looked pretty decent in that game. I think he finished with 25 in a blowout loss, point is, his shooting touch was definitely evident.

He needs to stay where he is and develop. They aren't winning much but the court time is valuable, he gets better every game.

Bingo. Playing with no pressure for Charlotte is a lot different than playing for a contender and getting valuable minutes. If he went to a contender he'd likely ride pine again.

It wasn't a question of his needs. I was asking if a team would consider him for a stretch run to obviously come off the bench.

I'm sure you didn't feel that way when it was the Cavs on every night when Bron was there.

They've been advertising it as a matchup between the last 2 #1 draft picks. Like Crimson said, it's just something different than matchups between the spurs heat celtics thunder lakers.
