It was a fun All Star Game, and congrats to Kobe for his record tying 4th ASG MVP award.

I think Kobe actually want to break highest scorer in All-Star Game (42)！He is so aggressive！
I will also give a big hand to LBJ's triple double (never ever since MJ)！

Support, i like kobe.. But the team didnt play well in last two games,,.. Dont know why they still heavily relied on kobe when he was sick.

Melo 去 NYK
但 NYK 用左 Gallinari/ Chandler / Felton + pick 去換 melo + billups，我覺得唔值！

唔知 NYK 個 lineup 點排？Turiaf 打 PF??

HighlanderZ

Horrible deal!

This Melo to NY trade is EXACTLY the type of deal Isiah Thomas made that got the Knicks into salary cap hell in the first place. Sacrifice all cap flexibility, trade away draft picks (that turn into All Stars for other teams), and give up young prospects, all for that "big name splash trade". It's a bad, bad transaction. Melo got his money, Isiah got his foot closer into the door back to the Knicks' front office (assuming the rumor of James Dolan rehiring Thomas), and Knicks fans who are enamored with brand name players are ecstatic.

In the end of the day, the Knicks still have no size, no defense, and the bench is as anemic as ever. Turiaf can't start; he's perpetually injured. Now that forces Amar'e to play Center full time, which will wreak havoc on his knees. God forbid he goes down; Melo will be in BASKETBALL HELL with the team he's surrounded with.

HighlanderZ

The latest report from Denver is that, they will offer Nene an extension once the Melo deal is completed. Plus, they don't expect to keep the Knicks' Danilo Gallinari, and will look to trade him to either the Nets, the Clippers or the Cavs.

觀乎 Knicks 現在的 setup，結果就係打鬼死 A.米 同 Melo 囉！
畢竟錢唔係易搵的！

The trade deadline is approaching, and I heard rumors about Z Bo could be traded from Memphis to Orlando for Richardson and Bass. We will see about that one.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Kings have already sent Carl Landry to the Hornets for Thorton and David Andersen. Seemingly a "minor" trade for causal NBA fans, but this trade completely improved the Hornets' front court, especially rebounding.

HighlanderZ

Told you guys it is going to be busy before the trade deadline... as of midnight Thursday (HK time)

The Nets and Jazz, are closing in on a multi-team trade that would send Williams to New Jersey, with the Nets' Derrick Favors and Devin Harris going to Utah. This would also involve the Golden State Warriors and bring multiple draft picks to Utah.

Quite "silence" for those top team...

That's precisiely why they are the top teams, since they are good enough in the first place. Just think back in years past, not too many top 1-3 teams make mid-season trades.

Rumors told that D. Will is the root cause of Sloan's quit.
If D. Will's move finally come true.
It becomes what we said, "一拍兩散＂

Bass is a career back up PF at best, but Z Bo is a gaurantee 20/10 guy with range, who would you get between those two?

Having said that, we are less than 12 hours to the trade deadline as I am typing this; and with the terrible home loss to the Kings last night (US time), I wouldn't be surprised if the Magic would just pull the trigger and go for Z Bo. I bet Otis Smith (the Magic GM) is now regretting his trade for Arenas... he has been pretty lifeless ever since he got to Orlando, and there is no sign of any improvement at all.

@ 阿島

I don't think D-Will was the reason why Sloan resigned, but he could have been the flash point of that. Sloan has been around for way too long to be "forced" out by a guy like D-Will. I bet he is just totally burnt out after 23 years, and would really just want to walk away. I wish coach Sloan all the best.

By the way, the D-Will to NJ Nets trade was an interesting one. Really didn't see that one coming...

Also, Baron Davis has also just been traded to the Cavs for Mo-Will and Moon. Basketball-wise it makes no sense, especially when BG and BD are now gelling. It is straightly a financial decision by the Clippers.

HighlanderZ

By the way, you guys seem to missed Bibby, Jordan Crawford and Mo Evans (Hawks) have been traded to the Wizards for Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong.

D Will 最慘就係跟本唔知自己被trade，即係夾硬被人劫上車。

作為打工仔，最慘的是唔再受到老板的信賴，更甚的是...
老板認為你會起他『尾注』！
D. Will 應該係死在呢處...

因為他仲有一年就約滿，Greg Miller，Jazz 的老板，唔覺得 D.Will 有心留低，所以長痛不如短痛...

HighlanderZ

I bet the Jazz don't want their 2011-12 season (final season of D-Will's contract) drags out like the Melo drama this year, so they pulled the trigger for 2 young guys + a first round pick. All in all it is not too bad, but they could've wait until this summer to ask for me, I think.

As for D-Will, he might hate where he is at now, but if he decides to extend his contract with the Nets; he can expect a brighter future, as the Nets will finally be moving in their brand new $450M Barclay Center for the 2012-13 season in Brooklyn.
