Hawks are just self destructing.

Giving up a likely stud SG in Beal, and then throwing in 1st rounders to boot. If they want Gay, fine, but they shouldn't overpay for him. Something like Okafor+Vesely+future 1st is the most the Wizards should offer, and is more in line with Gay's trade value.

The Grizzlies won't do that deal......they don't want to add additional 2013-2014 salary to their books. Adding Okafor would do just that. Also....they need someone that can immediately contribute...Vesely wouldn't meet that requirement.

I keep on getting back to the notion that the main reason why the Grizzlies would want to move Gay is to clear the bulk of his salary from the 2013-2014 Salary Cap while getting back an asset that can contribute at a decent level. I didn't realize that the Wizards don't have any big Expiring Contracts....so there I don't see the Wizards being a good trading partner for the Grizzlies.

Haslem's purpose on the floor is to fill the shoes of Bosh when he steps off the floor....he's just supposed to rebound and defend...not much else.

Coach is always talking about how everyone needs to be active in the offense though.

I really hope we play the Bulls in the playoffs at some point. Time to bring some D to the forefront of the NBA.

It would be great really just to get the revenge from 2 years ago. And yes, to showcase games where the battle is on the toughness on D.

Is it because of the return of Avery Bradley, the emergence Sullinger and KG being more of a douche-nozzle lately ( see his comments to Melo )?

Bradley was a really significant part. He made a difference from Day 1.

JJ Hickson has about as much defensive awareness as Gerald Green does.
