Spitballing: The Bucks Done Stopped
The Question: Is winning a priority?The Answer: No and No.The Solution: When GM John Hammond said that the Bucks were going to be frugal this offseason, he should have just said that they were going to be starting rebuilding. Honestly, it's a better approach. Admit that the team needs a fresh start and fans could be interested in the youth movement. Say that you're frugal...

Spitballing: The Belle of the Ball
The Question: Is there life after Bosh?The Answer: Yes. And it can't be much worse than this season.The Solution:I can't believe that Chris Bosh is going to re-sign with the Raptors this season which means that they will try to trade him to a team that he'll be happy to re-up with. At the same time, if they are dealing Bosh, they might as well try to deal Jose Calderon...

Spitballing: LeBron or Bust!
The Question: Will they get LeBron?The Answer: Will they get anyone?The Solution: Wait and see. The Knicks have been clearing cap space to go after the bumper crop of free agents in 2010 but I have a feeling that a lot of the best players might be re-signing this offseason. Granted, the 2010 class is so loaded that the Knicks will likely get someone but I can't imagine they they...

Spitballing: Still My Favorite Soap Opera
The Question: Is the soap opera over?The Answer: Doesn't seem to be.The Solution: Unfortunately, the solution is to force the team to be sold to new ownership and have the new ownership bring in new management but that's not going to happen so the Warriors are going to have to work with what they have. The soap opera that was Golden State last year was epitomized just this...

Spitballing: Wolves Rising?
The Question: Are the Wolves on the rise? The Answer: Yes, but just to the late lottery.The Solution: While some people seem to be hyping the Wolves as an up-and-coming team, I'm just not seeing it right now. I've never liked the Big Al Jefferson/Kevin Love combo in the frontcourt and still don't think that it's a good mix. I'd say that Randy Foye is the kind...

Draft 2009: Top Ten PG's
I'm sure there are some foreign PG's who might surprise us and turn out to be worth a first round pick but here's my take on the top 10 point guards in the 2009 draft. Some guys were hard to gauge because I haven't seen enough of them. This isn't necessarily where I think people will go and in some cases, I'd feel comfortable trading down in the deal because...

Spitballing: Poof!
The Question: What happened?The Answer: An over-achieving team came down to Earth.The Solution: While I'm not thrilled about the prospects of the Sacramento Kings, I'm completely lost as to what the Wizards can do this year. They have arguably the worst contract in the NBA with Gilbert Arenas's 5 year, around 90 million dollars. Antawn Jamison put up stats but looked...

Spitballing: Monarchy Malarkey
The Question: Is there any hope for Sacramento?The Answer: Not really.The Solution: Beno Udrih has become the poster child for the Kings' miserable season but let's be real, this team isn't good. Kevin Martin isn't someone you can really build a team around because of his lack of passing skills and defense. He's a third star. Spencer Hawes was supposed to be the...

Spitballing: Thunderstuck
Question: Is it time to stop adding youth?Answer: There's no rush but they should at least make an attempt at adding some talented veterans.Solution: With roughly seventeen million in cap space along with a couple of mid-sized expiring deal, the Thunder should be major players this offseason. Is Jeff Green, #3 pick and expiring contracts enough to get Chris Bosh? Because Bosh...

Spitballing: Grizzly
The Question: Can Mike Conley Jr., OJ Mayo, and Rudy Gay be the backcourt of a winning team?The Answer: Not without a great big man. And even then...The Solution: This draft is turning into a nightmare for the Grizzlies. Ricky Rubio doesn't want to play in Memphis and I don't think many people in Memphis, outside of the Grizz front office, are that fired up about Hasheem...

Spitballing: The Clip Show
The Question: Now what? The Answer: Does it really matter? We're talking about the Clippers here. The Solution: Well the first thing that needs to happen is that the Clippers need to rebrand themselves. Even if the name wasn't synonymous with losing, the team would still be named after sailboats so it's gotta go. I've always wanted a team named the Hollywood Villains...

The Rich Man's Game
I hope that Wyc and the other owners of the Celtics are watching these NBA Conference Finals because they help show how winning the the league is very much connected to how much you're willing to spend. I hope they would have learned this at watching the backups of the Celtics struggle and the squad falling just short to last year's success (which came with a heftier price...

Draft 2009: Lotto Fun
Draftniks couldn't have been happier with the way the lottery worked out. This draft now has a lot of possible moves at the top of the draft that could shake things up. Next week, I'll start going through the possible offseasons for every NBA squad but for now I'll just give some quick thoughts off the top of my head.Blake Griffin is the prize but will he land in LA?...

Rondo vs. Love
After watching the Celtics get blown out in pathetic fashion and then experiencing a 5.0 earthquake, I have to say that I really felt like the sky was falling and I, of course, wanted to blow up the Celtics roster. Part of me feels like it is time to sell high on Rondo and try to find something more in a traditional point guard. I also wanted to move Perk who always annoys me and...
