ESPN Insider article request

[024]

shortly after i learned about the jefferson trade i decided to put it in the ESPN trade machine to see how much the spurs would improve. according to "hollinger's analysis," the spurs getting jefferson for thoams, oberto, and bowen would decrease their wins by 2.

Thanks for the post.

I laughed at the Grizz's analysis

One quick note to file away if that happens: Oklahoma City has Phoenix's draft pick from the Kurt Thomas salary dump in 2007, and there's no lottery protection whatsoever.

Damn...

With the uncertainty of Amar'e and the age of Nash, Presti's "flip-this-Kurt" is looking better and better.

Thanks for the article. Dallas deserves to be as one of the tops.

As far as Manu and Duncan "breaking" down at the end of the season last year, IIRC Duncan had a "decent" showing in the Dallas series.

With John Hollinger its like beating a dead horse, that guy knows nothing about the whole concept of the game(NBA basketball) he's what i like to call a Cool-Aid drinker.

So he doesnt put the SPURS on a pedistal, who the cares... I really put value on someones opnion when it comes from one who has played the sport... i.e(Jalen Rose, Dr. J, Greg Anthony, Tim L) all even to go as far as Steven A Smith and Charles Barkley depending upon if they are leaning towards to the SPURS......

I have said it in previous post and I'll say it again.... John Hollinger is more of a fantasy Sports(stats only guy) so called jounalist than a real life sports Journalist... And when i think of good and creative journalism journalists in the industry his name really never comes to mind.
