BasslineSpin.com January 17, 2007 ...The
Warriors and Pacers made an eight player deal today. I do not feel very
strongly about the deal but I give the Pacers the edge on it. The G-S-Dub
gets some toughness in Al Harrington - a
turnover prone small forward along with the shot jacking Stephen Jackson. Sarunas Jasikevicius
is a quality backup point guard, and Josh Powell is a throw-in that should be in the
D-League. In return the W’s sent the versatile Mike Dunleavy Jr. away from the high expectations of
the Bay Area to the home of the 500. Promising NBA sophomore Ike Diogu and the rebounding forward Troy Murphy were also in it with Keith McLeod.
Indiana added skill and finesse in the deal and they got rid of
Jackson who has had his share of off court issues. January 16th, 2007 ...I
watched a sick game on TV tonight between Texas and Oklahoma State. The
Cowboys won in triple OT on a Mario Boggan three.
Boggan is like the size of Reggie Evans but he
can pass and he scores somehow. The 6’7” forward was ridiculous tonight with
37 points and 20 rebounds. Kevin Durant led
Texas with 37 points. Durant is presently listed #2 on my draft board behind Greg Oden. ...The Kings have lost six straight and are now
14-21. ...Justin Williams’ efficiency
for his ten minutes played in the loss to New York was .800. ...Chris Webber landed
in his hometown of Detroit after being waived, and bought out by
Philadelphia. Flip Saunders is
trippin’ if he thinks C-Webb can play Center. Chris can rebound but his
lateral movement is awful and he is not a shot blocker. Nazr Mohammed is efficient but seems to be in the
Flipster’s doghouse. ...I am a fan of Dominic James - the point guard for Marquette. ...While I was away on racing duties in
frigid Tulsa, OK - Virginia Tech beat North Carolina. Kudos to their coach Seth Greenberg who already beat Duke this season.
...I was happy for Eddie Murphy who
won a Golden Globe award. |
