Kicking off 2010's mma events is the brilliant UFC 108. It's definitely going to be a great event with the main match being Evans vs Silva going head to head. You can watch evans vs silva video for FREE in full HD without paying that grotty $55.95 PPV cost.

DD3… I don’t think you could be more right. Look at any of the teams that beat us between ‘05 and ‘08. Miami (drafted Wade, traded for a still primetime Shaq,) Cleveland (drafted LeBron, was given the pass by that Pistons team not showing up or even ATTEMPTING to stop Bron driving the lane (I will never get over this, we were SUCH better team and it never should have happened… their second best player was Gibson that year… cmon…), and finally Boston (GIVEN KG, and traded (er, signed?) Ray Allen).

Each team that beat us (outside of the Spurs in ‘05) were/are fly-by-night franchises. The C’s will be done in a year or two due to age. Look at what happened to the Heat… age. The Cavs are a special case because LeBron is just a special player.

None of those teams were really built, they were all put together basically on circumstances of luck/ right place right time. (Cleveland gets #1 for Bron, C’s get KG at peak of his Minnesota hatred/Minnesota finally just ditching the hope to hold on, and Miami getting Shaq at the peak of the Kobe/Shaq dispute — he had to go somewhere, and that somewhere was Miami.)

We either have to be a team of lucky circumstances, or wait a few years and build another team like 2004’s.

Name 10 centers better than Kaman. You can’t. You’ve got your “Duh” list:
Shaq
Dwight
Yao

And after that it’s pretty much a toss up or PFs that are forced to play C (like Okafor or Al Jefferson). Guys like Pryzbilla, Bogut, Bynum aren’t really better than Kaman. Kaman is one of only seven players the last 10 seasons to average 15+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 2+ blocks. Are you really saying that’s not worthy of being in the top 10? Give me a break.

And sorry, but McGrady is done. How many years have we heard “When he’s healthy” and he just had microfracture knee surgery. You know who else had that? McDyess, and he certainly wasn’t the same McDyess he was back in his Nugget days (still a quality role player, but definitely not the 20-10 threat he once was). McGrady is never going to average 20 points a game again.

I think Kaman would be a good addition. He is a legit 7 footer that plays with his back to the basket. I played basketball against him when he was in high school and he dominated us. In college he dominated again, and in the pros he is doing nothing but be a good player. He can easily average 15 and 10 a night as well as play solid D in the paint. He is only 27 and he is owed a modest $33 mil over the next 3 years. Hell, we payed more than that to an over-aged Sheed. I would love to see the Pistons try and make a deal with the Clippers to try and get this guy, or possibly even Camby. On RealGM.com a trade of Tayshaun and Maxi for Kaman and Thornton works out by the numbers, but it will be interesting to see what gets done this offseason.

Top 5 Center? KAMAN? You are killing me. He is top 20 maybe. Prybilla is a better Center than Kaman. He had 1 solid season & has done nothing major since. TMac just turned 30 a few days ago. He’s had back issues for a few seasons. When healthy he averages over 20 points a game. He is just asked to do way too much. Yao has missed a lot of games too. So does that make him DONE in the league or any worse than Kaman? No. But Tmac has missed the end of a lot of seasons & has been on a lot of bad teams. So I doubt he’s done. he has at least 3 or 4 good years left. Gordon is a good player, not great. he will have the same issues AI had. He is too short & not even as fast as fast as AI was.

the difference in our championship team then was a strong coach & younger players hungry for a ring. We beat an old Lakers team. Malone, GP, Fox, Horry, even Shaq was about 32 at the time. Their average age on that team was 34 ours was 28. Also they were having team issues & weren’t healthy. When we made it to the finals in 2005 we were evenly matched with the Spurs. Average age for both teams at the time was 29-30. this year our average age was 32. The league is different now. It belongs to the draft classes that came in AFTER we won a ring. We drafted Darko over Melo, Wade, Bosh Josh Howard & a bunch of very talented players only to HOPE we can get one of them this year. It’s going to take a while to win, but the youth movement stuff doesn’t work in the NBA. Boston threw in the towel on the youth movement & went from losers to Champs literally over night. Mia took 2 seasons, but they also went from so so team to Champs over night. The last few championship teams have been an average of 30-32. You need a mixture of vets & young players & talent. Boozer, Gordon & Kaman with Stuckey & who ever else, is not a championship team. Not in my eyes. We have a LONG way to go, but if we can get strong players over night, Joe needs to pull the trigger or get out of dodge!

Kaman is good, over the years he’s developed some nice post moves.
Forget T-Mac, seriously, any one here want Artest on our team, he will be a cheap ’star player’ to pick up. It would be a nice story line too.
Did you all hear what he said in the post game interview about the ejection when he confronted Kobe. He’s a different man now. We nee some one like him.
