Is CP3 and or DWilliams participating? If not, Rose has a very good chance at making the team. There isn't anybody ahead of him after those two IMO, unless you consider Rondo.

QUOTE For a night, though, speed and talent meshed brilliantly. The squads combined to score 210 points, made 24 of 51 3-pointers, watched a breakout performance from Derrick Rose (15 points, 8 assists, 5 steals, no turnovers) that should make him the leading contender to start at point guard and got 28 points in 29 minutes from Durant.

Josh Howard signed a 1 year deal to return to the Wizards, something in the range of up to $4 million with incentives.

Shaq is likely going to wind up with the Celtics. With Perkins down until around the AS Break, that's at least a warm body to plug in there.

Shaq to Boston makes their opener against the Heat that much more exciting. Who'd a thunk that I'd be rooting for the Celtics, but with the 3 egos on Miami, I'll take any team against them!

Wow.
QUOTE Four NBA teams have agreed to to a five-player trade that will send Trevor Ariza to the New Orleans Hornets and Darren Collison to the Indiana Pacers, two league sources said.
In the trade, the Houston Rockets sent Ariza to the Hornets, who in turn will send Collison and James Posey to the Pacers. The Pacers sent Troy Murphy to the New Jersey Nets. And the Nets sent Courtney Lee to the Rockets. According to the sources, the Rockets, Hornets, Pacers and Nets have agreed to the details of the trade and made it official with the league on Wednesday. The Hornets didn't stop there. NBA front office sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that in a separate deal, the team agreed to send swingman Julian Wright to Toronto for Raptors guard Marco Belinelli. That deal, like the four-team trade, was also expected to be completed Wednesday. The four-team deal could fill some long-term needs for the Hornets, Pacers and Nets, as well as provide needed salary relief for the Rockets. For the Hornets, while moving Collison leaves the team without a credible backup for Chris Paul, the addition of Ariza gives them a young, athletic wing entering his prime. The Hornets are hoping that the addition of Ariza addresses Paul's concerns about the team's commitment to winning by showing that they're willing to spend money to get better. Ariza signed a five year, $34 million deal with the Rockets last summer. For the Pacers, landing Collison gives them the young starting point guard they've been looking for and adds another piece to a young core of players including Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert and promising rookies Paul George and Lance Stephenson. The Pacers did take on the last two years and $13 million of Posey's contract, but the deal also sliced another $4 million off the team's overall payroll. In Murphy, the Nets get the veteran big man that new coach Avery Johnson has been coveting. Murphy is also on the last year of his contract, which could make him an important trading chip for the Nets at the 2011 trade deadline. For the Rockets, the move is basically a large salary dump. This summer the Rockets spent a lot of cash signing Luis Scola, Kyle Lowry and Brad Miller to free agent contracts and their payroll ballooned. Before the trade, the team was bracing for a $8 million plus luxury tax hit. This deal saves them $28 million on the life of the contract and roughly $10 million (when you factor in luxury tax payments) this season. |

This was a really good read on the offensive setup and defensive response to the high-post pick and roll play, with a lot of talk about both VDN, Thibodeau, and some of our off defenders.

Thanks for posting that. I remember someone on here ripping on VDN for calling those plays because Rose "should be able to beat his man on his own" |
