Bill Simmons is a great pick.

The man is pure when it comes to basketball.

His book is my sports Bible.

Multiple Double Digit Scorers + Rebounding + Toughness + Teamwork + Chemistry = Championship

He's also a big ass Boston homer and is sometimes blinded by it. When he isnt talking about Boston or something that could affect one of his Boston teams, he's good.

We have no more room for anymore talent, but Derrick Brown was also waived by SAS, and going by the games he's had against us and other games he played for Charlotte, I'd have been interested. He's soiled goods though, at least by reputation. Not sure in what capacity he left Charlotte, but, I mean damn. If you can't help them?

I've been wanting to read that. I generally like his commentary when not soaked in bias, but he's already failed on TV, and I don't see him being a great on-the-fly analyst.

I don't necessarily love TNT's crew as much as most, but they're still head and shoulders above ESPN's. SVG would've been epic. Love that man.

**Wade2Bosh** · 10-23-2012, 10:34 PM

I'd love to know Brown's numbers against us. He's quietly had some really nice games against us.

**Wade County** · 10-23-2012, 10:53 PM

Don't know about career, but last season he averaged 11.7 ppg, 6 rpg and 1.3 apg in 24 mpg against us in 3 games. Solid.

**Jace** · 10-23-2012, 11:19 PM

The previous season's numbers would bring those down (less minutes), so I guess we'll just go by that. His per36 numbers overall aren't very impressive, but if he's able to play like that against us with those teammates, he'd be a very solid role guy here.

captain obvious over here.

Watching Eric Bledsoe saddens me. Why Pat? He was a Kentucky guy to

**Jace** · 10-24-2012, 10:27 PM

I wanted him so bad. When he fell to #18, I died inside. Can't hindsight Miller off the team after GAME 7, but if I went back in time I might keep that pick and let UD go get paid somewhere else (SORRY UD).

LOL, the SportsCenter highlight of tonight was literally all Heat baskets, then at the end Stan slides in "...Wizards won, though."

**Wade County** · 10-25-2012, 04:44 PM

Eddy Curry picked up by the Mavs. Good for him.

I know this is EXTREMELY unlikely (for obvious reasons...), but would we have any interest in Delonte West?

Despite it all, he seems like he'd be a good basketball fit for us - although personality wise, and past 'indiscretions', would suggest it is a pretty huge longshot.

**Wade2Bosh** · 10-25-2012, 04:50 PM

He' be great here if it werent for the off the court issues. But then again, if he didnt have those off the court issues, he wouldnt be available.

**Jace** · 10-25-2012, 05:16 PM

Thought about it, but he's way too volatile and unpredictable to put on a team with such tight, well-developed chemistry. Would be a great fit, though. He's tough and competitive as hell. Feel bad for him, he's clearly not right in the dome right now.

Can't wait for Tuesday. Man, Boston is really doing themselves a disservice with all the training camp talk about the Heat. If they kept their mouths shut, I could see us coming out really soft and mentally glossing over that game, but they've all but eliminated that possibility.

**Jace** · 10-25-2012, 05:59 PM

Oh yeah, Jax mentioned last night that the black-on-blacks and white hots are part of a 3-year plan to introduce a new set each year. Wonder what we're in store for next season. They're already doing all-red this year, so...yellow?

This year's uniform guide has some things that might affect the Heat. I noticed LeBron went back to the regular headbands, and it seems its because they must all be a certain size with the NBA logo now.

Also, it says all socks must have NBA logos. The Heat have been the only team in the league without logos on their socks for awhile now. Wonder if that'll change or we'll continue to defy.

Looks like no more XVI or colored mouthguards either.

Delonte West's tenure with the Dallas Mavericks appears to be over, according to a source.

West was suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team, his second suspension in two weeks.

West said he was being blamed for an argument between teammates after the Mavs' 88-76 exhibition loss to the Thunder.

"There was an argument between two teammates in the locker room last night that didn't involve me," said West, who had two points, one assist and three turnovers in 21 minutes against the Thunder. "Somehow I'm being blamed for it. I had nothing to do with it. I don't know what's going on."

The Mavericks' front office is concerned about West's influence on young players on the roster, according to a source.

West and the Mavericks could agree to a buyout that would leave him free to sign with another team.

Whelp, LAL is about to get better.

With the uniform policy, what does that mean for guys like DWade who have McDavid endorsements for compression pads and the like?
