King James rules supreme.
So yeah, off season time. Commence.

He could've been but he had a bad game and he seen his minutes began to decrease and there was nothing he could do from there to show why he should/could have been the starting PG. Everyone has a bad game every now and then, it happens, for some reason he got shoved aside after..Norris Cole was good in the Finals but he was shit the 2nd half of the season and the first 3 rounds. I remember after he killed Boston in the 2nd game of the season people were saying he should have been the starting PG.
...... Mark Jackson was the target of an extortion plot that was being carried out by an ex-stripper and an ex-con. According to The Smoking Gun, Jackson had sent nude photos of himself to Alexis Adams during an affair around six years ago. From TSG:
The shakedown scheme, which was foiled by the FBI with Jackson’s cooperation, resulted this week in the arrest of Alexis Adams, the former dancer, and her alleged coconspirator, ex-convict Marcus Shaw.
Adams, 28, and Shaw, 40, have been named in felony criminal complaints filed under seal in U.S. District Court in Oakland, California. The duo, whose relationship is unclear, is accused of trying to extort a six-figure payment from Jackson in return for them not disseminating/selling the explicit photos to the “vultures of the media.”
Jackson, who has been married for 22-years, met Adams while he was working as an announcer for the New Jersey Nets and she was dancing at a gentleman’s club in New York. Jackson was first approached by Shaw in April in Memphis.
The man–who Jackson later identified as Shaw–showed the NBA coach a “folder containing some of the compromising photos” and a CD that he said contained “recordings of voice mail messages” that Jackson “left for Adams during their affair.”
When Jackson asked what he sought for the photos and recordings, Shaw replied, “I want to be made whole.” Shaw, who claimed to have found the compromising material in a storage locker he had purchased for $3500, said he wanted money to fix his teeth and get his car out of an impound lot.
Jackson eventually gave Shaw $5000. The Warriors’ coach contacted the authorities after the extortionists contacted his wife. Jackson offered up to $200,000 to get the photos back.
Petrie gets fired tonight if he takes him.Looking forward to seeing which GM will be fired three years down the line for picking Harrison Barnes.
They just made extended qualifying offer to Brooks (and Lopez) as well..Why are Cavs shopping for another pick? Had 2 lotterys last year, 1 this year plus 24th pick..If you're not happy with 3 lottery picks in 2 years, something is wrong imoThe Cavs are shopping Anderson Varejao for a lottery pick, probably late lottery.
The Suns pick is between Kendall Marshall and Jeremy Lamb, the Suns are reportedly leaning towards Marshall. The Suns have the 13th pick I believe.
