Hope he can get back. He was just starting to live up to his potential not long before getting banned.

NBA working on plan to reform the draft lottery.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20621318/reform-nba-draft-lottery-voted-17-18-season
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20621318/reform-nba-draft-lottery-voted-17-18-season
Currently, the teams with the three worst records have an ascending chance of winning the No. 1 pick, including (No. 3) 15.6 percent, (No. 2) 19.9 percent and (No. 1) 25 percent.
The NBA's proposal would flatten those odds, and give the three teams with the worst record the same percentage of earning the No. 1 overall pick, league sources said. Now, the worst record to the fifth-worst record has a gap of 25 percent to 8.8 percent, but new legislation would tighten that difference significantly, league sources said.
For example, the fifth-worst team would only have a few percentage points less than those teams with newly equal odds among the three worst teams, league sources said.

3 top 20 usage players on one team suddenly. I think they are going to need a second ball...
Melo can't defend, and OKC gave up a big (who helps against GSW IMO) with offensive skill set. Pretty good deal for the NYK who many thought were going to have to buy out Melo.

I just got word from several of my friends in the OKC organization that Russ is signing an extension today. No word on if it's a max max deal, or just another 1 and 1 deal like LBJ signs, but just know that is coming soon.

The league needs a new Ron Artest. Good for him for taking that on.
