Doc,

I’ve tried “tactfully” to respond to your post like 3 or 4 times now. It isn’t working LOL. I’ll just say how funny your post was and leave it at that.

Blatche also got scolded the other day by a judge for missing a court appointment. He’s my nomination for trade bait. Lots of other players have talent, and I think Blatche is bound to detract from the team discipline and work ethic. Play him a lot for a month and let some other team become enfatuated with him.

Looks like Mutombo will sign for another year with Houston.

It was Ernie not Eddie — in his closing interview; I think he was joking, neal.

If Blatche missed Pete Newell’s camp because of his stupid lack of street smarts then he’s cost himself something. The kid has talent, but talent is not enough in this league — not by a long shot.

Jordan really said that? Now Thomas and Haywood are “best friends”? If that’s 50% true that’s great news.

I just finished reading the Dime magazine article on Agent Zero and its a piece of art.
Gil stated he didn’t have any business sense that’s a bunch of bologniee.Agent Zero is getting like Lebron and MJ a name that advertisers know and trust to push there product or service. Gil will be the wealthiest Wizard ever not by having business sense but by have realness something that people thrust and thats how business is done on the golf course or over dinner ! By the way very few professional atheletes will negotiates there next contract but Gil will because he knows his fair market value and all the stipulations and addendums to add for MVP or All-Star appearance made .He will save millions in lawyer fees now thats smart business sense!

Can we get a new fling flang Blog on this here puppy? Some moving images and the such-like? Pleasethanks?

Yes the Pete Newells Big Man camp happened this year in Vegas, and scuttlebutt was that Pesh and DMac attended — though Lexi couldn’t participate much due to sore groins.

This happened the weekend after Andray was supposed to have signed but had to delay when he was nabbed by a friendly Washington police officer. So I expect he missed out on the chance to fly to Vegas and develop critical professional skills.

You have no idea how many dangerous entendres I had to avoid to write that above paragraph. I tried to take the high road, I really did… Instead I’ll just write them all down here and let you folks sort it out on your own:

Big Man Camp.
Professionals. Pros.
Vegas.
Sore groin.

Let me finish by simply saying Video. Video. Video.

Thanks!

I’m with neal in thinking that it is not so great to be bringing back the same two centers. But, didn’t Ernie say, right after the season, that they spent an evening together, and “now they are best friends”?

Can that have been something more than a joke? Did either of them go to Pete Newell’s big man camp? Does that even still exist?

Eric — Will is doing an *excellent* job; no need to defend him. In fact, I was just musing along the lines that you confirmed. He’s a ‘one-man show’ right now.

Will — keep up the good work. You too, BruceO !!
