So griffin goes down injured and they pick Davis to replace him. You know, that guy who hasn't played a minute of pro ball. Not the consensus top five center in the league. Davis is good, without a doubt, but I couldn't name a single person not named Jerry Colangelo who'd take Davis over Demarcus. Stick the two of them on a court and let em battle for that last spot. Guarantee you that Demarcus would outmuscle, out hustle and all-around outplay Davis.
^^ Agree with this. Putting Anthony Davis in was really a "WTF" moment.

Demarcus would have served as a MUCH better backup for the center position. The alternates for the team are: Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay, and Anthony Davis and Davis doesn't compare at all to his fellow teammates on the Olympic team.

I wish Dwight was healthy because having him at center with Griffin/Chandler as backups would have been a more lethal combination. Heck, I think even putting Kevin Love in as a center would have been a better option then Davis.

Whatever though... comparison to 92' Dream Team? GTFO Kobe!

But seriously, put the two of them on a court, televise it in primetime and #DMCposterizesDavis will be a worldwide trending topic on Twitter in 10 minutes.

Dallas picked up brand for 2.1 mil.

Collison
West(re-sign)
Marion
Dirk
Kaman

Brand off the bench. They're about 4 mil under the cap and have a 2.5 mil trade exception. I see them re-signing west and getting mayo/Courtney lee off of a s&t. Maybe picking up scola before that. Not bad...Just need work on the guards.


Edit: Looks like Phoenix might lock in Mayo. Considering NO would match Gordon's offer, Mayo would start

Im surprised no one mentioned the Dwight Howard trade haha, anyone else think its going to be Lakers/Heat in the finals? Also what do you guys think about the new flop rules, and the 90 second prep before the game rule?
