IDK man, I still don't like it. They will get a scrub in return, I know it.

Or a draft pick..which is better than nothing at all, besides, Tayshaun isn't that great. They have another guy just like him on the team...

The Pistons are a bunch of scrubs anyways, so it won't matter lol

This.

I predict that the Cavs will catch fire in the 2nd half and manage to finish 10-72.

Don't get my hopes up!

MVP = D Rose

Heat = Win East, Size doesnt matter when you have the 2 best finishers and individual scorers in an offensively dominated game.

Lakers Top Spurs = Spurs wont even make the Western Conference Finals, I see the Lakers and Mavs or Thunder in the Finals. I dont think the Spurs can handle the young Thunder in a 7 game series.

Shaq = Come on Man he's da Big Shamrock and people love him in Boston , he ends his career there even if just playing 15mins a game.

Melo = looks to me like he's staying in Denver where they are hoping to re-sign him since they can't get what they want in return (Joe Johnson-ish)

Clippers make a play-off push of sorts but still fall way short in the stacked West.

I still think if the Lakers can go past Spurs in regular season standing somehow, Kobe will win his 2nd MVP, if not Rose.

It is almost certain now that he will since the Lakers are still struggling on the road.

Lebron has too many haters out there to win his 3rd straight MVP.

The only thing about Rose is his only downside in True Shooting %. All the columnists (who also have votes in the MVP vote) are degrading Rose for this reason.
