    ENES KANTER: The third and last game of the preparation tourney will start in half an hour

    I did not watch Enes 2 years ago but the some serious commentators in Turkey clearly said that he did not seem to progress much in the last two years. While he was working with high school kids or alone, Jonas V was playing in the Euroleague. At the end of the day, Enes got what he wanted...

    Ersan Ilyasova wants out of Milwaukee

    He is a nice hustle player. Good finisher when plays in a structured system, but can not create his own shot. Has been more succesful when he played 4 in Europe and Turkish national team. I think he will go back to Europe as he can earn more there.

    Kanter stood up Toronto, Milwaukee, and Utah for Interviews

    As a Turkish fan, I have been hearing Enes stories for many years. My observation is he is either too immature or is getting very bad advice. Two years ago, he was in the squad of respected european club Fenerbahce (also the team of Omer Asik and Semih Erden) and had chance to play in...

    Official milsap the 2012 starting sf

    I believe Millsap is an excellent player for a contender - if he comes off the bench... Very good value for the money. Millsap at 3 is not a new idea and the fact that this has not been realized so far gives me strong view that it will not happen in the near future. He is not going to be a...

    Can players play elsewhere in a lockout? Should they?

    If the player is under contract, I do not think that he will be allowed to play in Europe due to injury risk. However, I can imagine players like Andrei Kirilenko, whose contract will expire this summer, would play in Europe.

    Time to Bench SOMEONE In the Starting Lineup

    what about starting price instead of bell? He can provide defensive energy at the start of quarters maybe for 5 minutes. Of course, size will be a concern...

    Jazz outscored by 118pts in first quarters with Big Al on the court.

    I read couple of days ago Phil Johnson mentioning that screens are not good enough in the first quarter mainly due to players' fear to get early offensive fouls. He added that they also try various things early in game to test what is working and what is not.

    KOC had a terrible off-season

    In my view, KOC's only mistake in Matheews case, was not having a team option for extending the contract after the rookie year. He was an undrafted rookie who had a roster spot after the pre-season camp and I guess a team option might have been arranged ( with a some increase on rookie contract).

    Okur May Return On Pre-Christmas Road Trip

    I thought it would be cool if he came back on a home game and got a standing ovation. Memo will certainly add more offense and rebounding. On the other hand, the second unit will probably lose some defensive intensity. However, his defensive flaws will be less visible as he would probably...

    So Memo went through a full practice today........

    I do not think that Sloan would start him. I believe his philosophy of "starter do not lose job due to injury" only valid during the season. If Memo were healty during preseason, he would have to compete against Millsap and Al for the starter job. I think the offense he will bring to the...

    I can't for Memo to come back.

    I think one issue is how long Memo would play with Deron when he comes from the bench. Memo needs Deron to set him up for a good look.

    Okur Update

    What a shame that the Jazz have a player like Memo. What kind of player would injure himself in a playoff while going through pains and knowing that there is a risk for a bigger injury. He is such a loser that he did not even go to his home country during summer just to continue his rehab. Come...

    Your favourite Jerry Sloan quotes

    I know wrong thread but I noticed a funny comment from Memo in Turkish press yesterday and wanted to share: About the injury: I am sorry about the possibility that I might not have a 360 dunk over three defenders any more.

    Your favourite Jerry Sloan quotes

    To Rookies: You have to understand that there is a reason that the God gave you two ears but one mouth On three point shooting: I do not have problems with players taking three point shots- as long as they make those shots

    The Long Term Implications of the Matthews Match

    You are right on cash perspective. However, as far as I know, the cap effect is different as the initial payment will be distributed to other years ( and first year cap will not get the 30% hit)

    RUMOR: Boozer to Miami?

    I am not totally sure how the rule works but, as far as I know, since Miami is under the cap, salaries of players subject to the trade does not have to match. So why would not the teams try sign&trade Boozer vs Beasley. Then teams can chase other free agents mentioned ( Korver & O'neal).

    starting to like Ed Davis as the safe pick to choose.

    I think the front office like players whose family members played in NBA ( like Brewer- Matthews). It is logical actually because these kids will need less time to adapt. I would not be surprised if he is selected by Utah
