  Bad grammar but I also completely disagree. The cost of living in NY is soooo much higher than Minnesota. He could have easily played in Minny, gotten that 10, retired next year and moved to NY (which I don't think is nearly as big of a draw for Russians as it is Americans...every Russian I know hates that place...still hurt feelz from cold war??).
  
  
  I think there was some shady things going on... Bc if he really wanted to win, I can think of 4-5 different teams that he could have gone to that would have given him that shot. Either you are right and he really likes NY or some under the table jazz went down.

  AK47 is already a multimillionaire. Also take into account how much more your 'brand' becomes in NY compared to Minnesota. That 'brand' could mean more money in other ways (shoe deals, etc.)
  
  But my main point was living in NY and playing for a contender was better than living in Minnesota playing on a team that's missed the playoffs for the last decade.

  Have the DVR set. Unfortunately have to hang out with the lady friend. I wish Bennett and Karasev were playing.
• Midstate01

  

  Quinn playing tho makes me not want to watch. Let young kids play. Quinn is a terrible player who should be nowhere but overseas

  Tristan Thompson has apparently made the switch from shooting left to right handed. Suppsedly looks pretty good as well.

  Must've been confused.

  I just hadn't heard a thing about this and while it may prove to be an improvement....it just sounds ridiculous to do something like that after the age of 5.

  People on RCF are saying he looks much smoother with his right

  No it was stupid for him to do this. Ironman said so

  Karasev is playing on ESPNU if anybody is interested in watching.
• Pick6

  

  Karasev not particularly having a good game at the half. 2-8. By far his worst performance of the tournament if this stands.
  
  He moves really well without the ball. Makes some nice cuts.

  Mike Brown says Bennett is strictly a 4 at this point in time. Any move to 3 would be 'way way way down the road'.
• gport_tennis

  There's an article on Yahoo Sports right now saying the Cleveland Cavaliers are considering placing a bid on Mike Miller of the amnesty waiver wire.
  
  Fucking hate that idea

  Why? He's better than Alonzo Gee, he could start at 3 and spread the floor for Kyrie and Dion.

  Mike Miller would not start for the Cavaliers. He is stritcly a veteran bench, rotation player for the Cavaliers. First off, he doesn't have the strength anymore to support starters minutes. The guy couldn't even sit on the bench chairs for the Heat because of the back. Remember him always laying down on the floor.
  
  Miller would come in and have the big game experience for the Cavaliers. I'd be happy to see 15-20 minutes a game for a whole season. Still has the skill set but not the healthiest anymore.
  
  Secondly, Clark will more than likely be the starting 3. Obviously, its still the weak spot on the Cleveland roster but the Cavalier knew they couldn't address all the major needs without sacrificing the 2014 cap space for a run at the best 3 in the business.
  
  So this Miller signing, if it happens, is basically like filling the bench with a semi talented D leaguer with a known name. He won't have much impact on the Cavs.

  Mike Miller couldn't start for any NBA team at this point in his career. I thought you watched the Heat? You should know that.
