    as you may be finding out, the owners and players association have come to a tentative agreement to end the lockout.

    if ratified by the respective sides, training camp and free agency would begin on december 9, and a 66-game season would begin on Christmas Day,

    There are a lot of details and work to be taken care of, but the light at the end of the tunnel has gotten brighter. i have my own feelings on the reports and interviews i've heard. i'd like to share them after hearing from some of you.

    I'm just happy there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel. After I had started to fear that we wouldn't have a season this year, 66 games will be a wayyyy better time than 0.

    Mostly, I'm just happy that BOTH sides (the Owners AND the Players) finally remembered this isn't just a business, it's a sports league, and the Fans are far more important than either of their respective checkbooks.

    Back to basketball now please.

    sign Iggy for 8-9M, Batum at the two, and Wesley off the bench! Draft Steven Adams (who loves contact, grew up playing rug-bee). Sounds NICE!

    Love Okafor, hate his contract. Nenê is sweet too. I like the Wizards. Fan of wall. Also you guys watching Danny Green? Dude is insane.

  8. If you could be gm this offseason what would you do ?

    Im not impressed with Gortat. Everyone wants him but he seems mediorcre to me. He is the most realistic option since all it would take is the 10th pick, but I think he is old and declining.
