Please. 3 of their last 4 top 60 draft picks have been Hibbert, Rush and Price. He also drafted Granger. Their has certainly been plenty of room to question his ability as a GM, but not because of a "white guy fetish".

And I realize you were probably speaking somewhat tongue in cheek, but I know people who really do believe Bird is a racist.

Re: NBA 2010

I actually like the Hansborough pick.

This year I see a lot of offense/defense substitutions at the end of the game with Hibbert and Hansborough coming in for Foster and Murphy.

McRoberts has apparantly improved a great deal as well.

Re: NBA 2010

The Spurs did well, obviously. McClinton and Blair should both play quite a bit 20+ mpg) and Blair could do very well in a rebounding/ garbage bucket role. With Drew Gooden at PF, Duncan, Jefferson, Ginobli, and Parker as starters, and Bonner, Findley, McClinton, Blair, and Mason as the primary bench, the Spurs have to be considered at least co-favorites, especially considering coaching genius Gregg Poppovich.

Re: NBA 2010

Stan Van Gundy likes to call his players out in the press. I would imagine he won't hesitate to throw Carter under the bus when he pulls his disappearing act Should be an intersesting season watching these 2 clash.

Re: NBA 2010

If Amare Stoudamire does indeed go to Golden State in this proposed deal (Biedrens, Randolph, Belinelli, plus future 1st Round Pick), the Warriors could very well compete for a top four seed in the West. Stoudamire is that good. And that Warrior team would be D'Antonio's Suns all over again.

Re: NBA 2010

Bad news out of Houston. Yao's career could possibly be in jeopardy, much less this season.

As much as a 7 footer or above is praised, you really have to wonder about the longevity of drafting one. Shaquille O'Neal may be the exception.

Amare Stoudemire has little interest in joining the Warriors, according to two sources. The sources also indicated that the likeliest scenario at this point is for Stoudemire to stay with the Suns this season.

Stoudemire has told associates that he believes the Warriors could be giving up too much in the proposed deal, which would include Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright, Marco Belinelli and possibly Stephen Curry.

Stoudemire is also reluctant to play center.

Re: NBA 2010

I've also heard though, that Amare doesn't care where he goes as long as he gets the max extension.

As for playing center, it could be a problem... but they do have Turiaf to play the 5 and guard opposing bigs for a big chunk of the game.

That's probably a little closer to the truth.
