Oklahoma City couldnt come up with something more creative than Thunder?

All I ask of the ownership is to rename the arena to the THUNDERDOME to make up for the name

[Guest Krn_Track_Star]

It seem the newest NBA franchise will be named Thunder

I think the Supersonics sound way cooler

Oklahoma City couldnt come up with something more creative than Thunder?

haha i agree wow thunder but ill say okc is lucky to get a bastketall team when it is all said and done. and seattle after 41 years lost a nba team in which they made the finals in the 90's.

i think the uniform color should be a clould from DBZ hahahah.

Josh Childress to Greece?

Hawks management are really inadequate. I don't see how they're going to keep both Joshes.

[Guest xsilentangel]

Celtics resigned Eddie House and Tony Allen.

I'm happy about that..

We need big guys though..

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

A defensive swingman to fill in Posey's void is more important.

My Favorite Comeback: Robert Traylor, Cavaliers

After playing in Puerto Rico last season, Robert "Tractor" Traylor was in Vegas as a member of the Cavaliers. The big body, who was basically auditioning for all of the general managers in attendance, had a decent stretch of games, averaging 5.3 points and five rebounds in four Cleveland losses.

Why bother?

He averaged 5 and 5...IN SUMMER LEAGUE PLAY.

[Guest ZWD]

^ Plus he's majorly out of shape.

Reminds me of Mike Sweetney.

Wtf ...

Some of their nicknames remind me of Captain Planet

[Mr Boo Boo]

such a shame that the NBA would do that to the Sonics...

[Guest ZWD]

+sigh+

Makes me miss the old Steve Francis.

looks like nads is leaving for eruo ball too.

First Nachbar, and now Kristic. What's the point of drafting a Eruo big anymore? They'll just get embarassed here in the States and leave for the Eruo's 3 years later.

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

Hopefully David Stern gets the message...

Watch Barbosa, Deng, Dirk, Yao, Gasol and Ginobili and all the other NBA-calibre foreign players bolt one day.

[xman150]

anyone think that ben gordon will actually leave and go to play in europe too?

i don't blame them for leaving for the euro league, they get more money in the short term since the dollar is weak and they get taken care of.

plus they got those 12 panel FIBA balls with the white stripes. i miss the one i had.

[Guest ZWD]

Stern better hopes that the NBA spreads to Europe.

[xman150]

what i just seen on ESPN is crazy. Rockets trade Bobby Jackson, a player to be named (please be luther head or Novak), and a 1st round draft pick to SAC for Ron Artest. i hope this works out well...

and here is the Houston Chronicle article about the trade.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5914062.html

it would kinda suck if they give up donte green cause he did well at the summer league, but the only thing is that he isn't NBA ready but would be good in the future.

now what's going to happen to carl landry.

[Guest acekim]

This is excellent news for the rockets

1) Rafer Alston

2) Tracy Mcgrady

3) Shane Battier

4) Ron Artest

5) Yao Ming

HERE COMES Championship

THIS our big three

Ray Allen vs Tracy Mcgrady

Ron Artest vs Paul Pierce

Yao Ming vs KG

Championship!!

[Guest ZWD]

WOW.

Great trade for the Rockets.

I'm guessing Donte Greene will be shipped out along with Bobby Jackson and the first round pick.

LOL Since when will those two ever match up over each other?

Rockets are already good defensively, and now with Artest, pheww.

I already read over some articles, but I'm a bit skeptic on Artest guarding PF's; I'd rather have Battier at the 4.

Now if McGrady and Yao could just stay healthy + Artest stay out of trouble, then you got a serious contender.

But Boston's gonna have a harder time getting to the Finals; no Posey and there's the improved Raptors and Sixers; current Wizards, Pistons, Magic and Cavs have already shown they can scare the Celtics. Bucks are a sleeper as well.

[Guest ZWD]

What's so good is that the Rockets still have the mid-level exception.

Now if only Carl Landry can be re-signed and Steve Francis is ready to play...

[Guest mojomunkeez]

..trying to get Yao and McGrady healthy would help. Otherwise, I predict nothing different from the previous years.
