Hughes? He's a pretty good shooter in his own right...and a good defender too esp. in stealing...I think he'll do fine as LeBron's sidekick.

he's only shot over 30% in 2 years of his career see isn't exactly Larry Legend but he is pretty well rounded.

Kobe to the Knicks, then I'm happy.

I guess I'll remain sad for life. Go Knicks!

Nikoloz Skitishvili, I doubt I got his last name right but he was drafted 5th overall by the Nuggets like 3-4 years ago and never really panned out, he's a 7 footer that still has somewhat potential, but thats what they were saying about olowakandi when the wolves signed him

Shawn Kemp is trying to make a comeback!
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...38_kemp24.html

he was a freakin BEAST in seattle, i'm surprised he's only 35. it sounds like he's getting his life together, although he did get arrested a couple months ago with pot and cocaine.. this is a pretty interesting article though.

it does sound like he's lost and losing a ton of weight. it's funny, you look at pictures of him when he was in his prime in seattle, then look at them when he was in portland and he has chins

No kidding...Whatever was the story behind Kemp? He was once such a megastar with the Sonics and I still remember him from the playoffs against the Bulls...

I was sure he was a can't-miss player...

And in other news, Larry Brown is close to signing with the Knicks.

He switches teams faster than Paris goes through men...

Well, it's official now. He calls it his "dream job"...didn't he call all his jobs dream jobs?

http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3830358

The bigger question is how this guy is going to turn around the Knicks...

I'm so confused with that whole situation. He was supposedly quitting coaching because he was sick. Now he's coaching the Knicks.

pistons pissed about his post season so called "talk" about leaving the pistons. or so i heard.

i guess they thought that him discussing leaving the team while they were in contention for the title was messed up. plus he missed quite a few games due to his sickness.

all in all i think hes an overrated coach. we'll see what he can do in ny.

How can you say he's overrated? He's made every team he went to better. He got the freaking Clippers in the playoffs. Nuff said.

As a Bulls fan, I may get some 's thrown at me...But, I think Brown is better than Phil...

That being said, I still don't like how the former just goes through NBA teams like tampons...

I might agree with you after a few years. I've yet to see Phil coach a talentless team until now.

Brown will make an impact, but not enough for them to even pass first round. The Knicks (although my favorite team), are too weak in so many aspects. I don't even know why Isiah Thomas signed all these so called talented fart heads to the Knicks.

It'll be good if they trade Marbury for someone with height and shake off players such as Penny and timmy to lessen their overload in salary cap.

on the contrary...with kwame, lamar, and kobe, i'd say the lakers have a good amount of talent. let's just see how they gel together, this will by phil's greatest coaching challenge thus far.

Holy crap. Talk about a new, face lifted Heats. (Shaq, Antoine, Jay Williams, Dwade).

Given the fact this was all possible due to Shaq's decision to cut his own salary, LA must be crying.

i thought Shareef, Kidd and VC would be insane, and then i forgot they had RJ

Shareef failed his physical though so the trade is at a stall right now, he has a bad knee
