Fashion trends can be somewhat cyclical, but I'm a 100% confident that zubaz will never return in any non nostalgic way. I hope they do. As a former owner of Zubaz, they were comfortable as hell.

Under 12 hours till draft time, I haven't followed the NBA in a while but I think I'll try a but more this year. It sounds like Cleveland is trying to trade the number 1 pick to either Portland or Minnesota for Aldridge and Love respectively. If that happens than number one for for sure be Noel or Len. Side note, dang C-Web looks young in that picture.

Well, it's being reported that Dwight Howard most likely will not return to the Lakers. We all saw this coming, good thing the Lakers didn't spend a ton of money begging him to come back or anythi- Oops.

I doubt that cost a ton of money. I just don't think Dwight wants to play in a market where there is a lot of attention on him at all times. There is less pressure if you play in Houston or for the Nets.

If Houston does end up w/ Dwight it'll be interesting to see what they do w/ Asik considering he makes $5 million in 13/14 and then $15 million in 14/15. Gonna be hard to trade him when hes making that much in the final year.

There is less pressure if you play in Houston or for the Nets. I agree. Dallas and Houston are reportedly the most likely landing spots. For the Celtics fans, Olynyk or Steven Adams look likely at 16, Shane Larkin is a possibility there too. I also just heard that Cody Zeller is high on the Pistons board, no, just no, we have Drummond and Monroe, no need for another big yet, but if McCollum is picked before it gets to us, Zeller looks likely, but Charlotte and Phoenix like him. In addition, the kid from Greece wants to come here right away to play. Crazy draft day already.

With Howard I really won't believe anything until its official and even then you never truly know when he'll change his mind again.

If anything happens with Dwight leaving, it will not be free to Houston. It will be via a sign and trade to try and get value in return.

According to Andy Katz New Orleans really likes Trey Burke, if Detroit does take Zeller I'm going to be angry. Reportedly Pierce and Garnett are involved possibly in a huge trade sending them to Brooklyn for Wallace, Humphries, and others and 3 first round picks, that's excessive, I would not make that deal if I were Brooklyn.
UPDATE: If a Boston/Brooklyn trade were to occur Boston writer A. Sherrod Blakely says on Twitter it would be more like Pierce for Humphries and a future first rounder due to KG's no trade clause and Wallace's contract.

The Lakers don't have any leverage to make such a trade because the Rockets are very close to having enough cap space to sign Dwight outright, and a sign-and-trade is of no benefit to Dwight. And that Nets trade sounds really bad for the Celtics IMO.

So if he wants to play for Houston but wants dat money, he'll have to do a sign and trade. And the Rockets may not have enough cap space if Asik can't be traded like someone said.

Dwight can't get the Lakers' max offer in a sign-and-trade. He can get only the amount the team that is trading for him can offer. They abolished that loophole with the new CBA. And the Rockets have max space if they can trade Thomas Robinson. And by all accounts there are multiple suitors for him.

If that happens (and I don't expect it to) the Mavericks would be a candidate for that because they don't quite have the cap space to sign Dwight outright, but if they traded Shawn Marion (and presumably the rights to the #13 pick) they would. But with the new CBA, teams at or near the luxury tax apron can't receive players that are signed-and-traded.

ESPN is reporting that unless Cleveland drafts Len, they will trade the pick. Jay Bilas is calling McLemore the best available player. The Celtics/Nets deal now includes Jason Terry, Marc Stein says it's all up to KG waiving his no-trade clause.

How ironic that Nerlens Pelicans drafted Nerlens Noel

I cannot believe Detroit passed on Burke. I'm so disappointed in the Pistons pick.

It's the end of an era here in Boston I guess I'll have to change my sig when KG puts on the Nets jersey.
