Priorities

-Solid article in SLAM yesterday about the stars in the NBA... just not willing to be stars. The J.R. Smiths of the world along with Sean Williams, and Mr. Gerald Green. Although Adam Morrison is on this list for lack of reasoning, or as put, sits on the sideline and doesn't care about his job, I see J.R. Smith and Gerald Green with potential in the right formula and situation to become useful, if not super-useful. I could try to analyze in what situation that could be, however, my NBA talent evaluation skills prohibit me from doing so. Gut feeling on this one, but they are still really young and could find a good home somewhere... come to think of it, Green is kind of a poor man's Smith + a little more height and athleticism. J.R. Smith has proven he can kill it any given night/be a consistent warm-up allstar, whereas, Green you are more surprised to see him raining jump shots, rather more of a role player. Anywayz, i would be happy to see Smith take Louis William's spot on the Sixers after the Warriors sign Williams. Elton Brand, AI, and JR could be a devlish threesome. We'll see.

-Don't give up on Morrison yet. People are writing him off, but if he is given another chance to shine behind Gerald and Jared this year he could turn some heads... just give him time, don't send him to europe yet. I don't know if a chip on his shoulder will help or hinder his progress because he seems like he always plays with one, and contains Donte Green's same impeccable shot selection as demonstrated by Jim Boeheim on our front page.

-Warriors signed a very smooth Jim Calhoun stud. The way he used to drop dimes in college was awesome, but the NBA is a different story. I'm guessing he won't play too much under Nelson, but i still like the signing. I'm pumped if we get Lou Williams, we'll be hands-down the funnest team to watch in the NBA behind Oklahoma City Thunder if they would have drafted Bayless... Westbrook will do just fine though. Lou and Monta though? Don't they both pose a problem with an undersized two? Like i said, fun to watch but maybe Lou running the point and not Monta. There's gotta be priorities, No? They won't win but hell, Mullin will get it right, if they get this guy. Let's shoot for the 1st round again, not to win it all, but to be #1 in fastbreak points, and entertainment value. Best represented by Eddie starring Whoopie Goldberg. Maggette, Biedrins, Monta, Jackson, and Harrington, with Lou, Randolph, Bellinelli, and Wright off the bench. Sign me up league pass.....

-Watched the Argentina, Spain highlights of the olympic qualifiers last night... whew! Those are two terrific teams. Everyone loves down here the argentine squad obviously, but Spain is stacked too, and with Delfino running the show and not Ginobili, i'll put my stack in Spain's favor. There are always Carlos Arroyo type performances in the Olympics which defy all odds and make you look forward to that player's future in the NBA, but I hope Ricky Rubio kills it in the olympics, and continues that in the NBA. If this guy is as good as advertised, we're looking at either a Larry Bird type, or Sergio Rodriguez 2.0, or who was once called (Spanish Chocolate, aka Jason Williams 2.0 :(
