He's out of Philip O. Barry Academy in Charlotte, NC and he's among the leaders on his team in points, rebounds and steals.

not sure if he deserves a thread of his own quite yet, but definitely someone to keep an eye on...

And he'd probably come at a cheap price too!
 
The problem is right when he gets going and makes you think he is going to do something spectacular he just stops.
 
interesting article here


https://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2011/03/06/reason_to_be_jazzed_up_in_the_smaller_markets/

starts out discussing the Jazz/Nets trade, but goes on to discuss small market basketball, the Kings move and other stuff...

...O’Connor decided that Utah wasn’t going to join Cleveland and Toronto in small-market hell. Those teams banked on the loyalty of LeBron James and Chris Bosh but were left with trade exceptions and little hope.

Perhaps O’Connor’s quick trigger will set a trend for smaller-market teams that want value for their soon-to-depart superstars. Younger pieces and draft picks are essential to rebuilding, and larger-market teams seeking validity will have those to offer. The Knicks, for example, have practically given the Nuggets new life with the Carmelo Anthony trade.

Not every superstar wants to play in a big city with a storied franchise. There are those who just want to play and be appreciated. Harris talked about playing in front of a full house in Utah instead of a mausoleum in New Jersey....

Probably because the crybaby now realizes his cajones aren't big enough to win with 3 mega-stars and he needs a couple more to win a title.

Hate to say this, but I'd actually pull for the Lakers over Miami in a championship. I don't care who takes out the Heat. Give me Boozer's Bulls or those #$% Celtics. Even Crymelo and the Knicks.

Only if the players cave first.
If the owners cave in, it will be the same old crap.... and the players will know they can win the battle every time until the NBA folds.

...trust me on this one: the owners will not cave in first! They have way more money and other assets than the players! Some of these players, despite making millions each year....will be broke in 6 months!
