The Rest of the NBA

[QB Eagles]

Offseason is already more exciting than the season. That's always true for the Sixers, but now it's spreading.

Aldridge says Lakers offered 2 to Sac for 5 & 10

Lakers were then gonna offer one of those picks and 27/28 and a player to Indy for George

Vlade said no

what is happening this week?  the hawks must really hate howard. not surprising because he's a douche but this trade is terrible.

it's not even a salary dump. they get worse players, worse contracts and worse draft picks.

jesus dwight must be a real shtein to be around.

[ice grillin you]

i believe it's only halfcourt...3 on 3 with subs...and i think first team to 60 wins.  i'm assuming each basket will be 2 points & they'll have threes, but i haven't read that anywhere.  i have no idea how they'll handle fouls/free throws. 
my guess is that it will be a bunch of old, out of shape guys throwing up threes.

no...none of them have played a single second of basketball since they retired

Kwame Brown was a top 5 pick. That doesn't bode well. Also, Larry Hughes was drafted 14th. Lol

Here's their draft results. Scroll all the way down for full team rosters (5 players per team).
