Yi is having a really amazing game. This is blowing my mind. He could really do some things in the NBA if he ever played with the comfort level that he's playing with right now.

3 refs standing few meters from Ibaka, NOT 1 fucking call. USA & Spain seem to have refs fear/respect them way too much.

Sooner the better I think for everyone...move on.
Games should have an impact on his value to some degree and I hope its a positive one for the Raptors to take advantage of
Teams are unlikely to make a major trade during the Olympics as many front office are in London, scouting the internationals. Yes, they probably talk potential trades but I suspect they will wait until they are back on American before executing it. Most media sent their sports reporters to the Olympics and it would be hard to generate interest in the new acquisition through the media if the regular reporters cannot attend the press conference.
I'd rather Jose stays with the Raptors as I am not a fan of John Lucas III and I saw how well a team performed with a shitty backup point guard after my Cavaliers traded Ramon Sessions and picked up crap from the development league.
No thanks.

And after 7 years in the NBA I doubt 2 weeks of play will do anything to really change a GM's opinion of Jose other than to reassure them that he can still play. And if he does stick around until the trading deadline, with the change to backup minutes I'm more confident that he'll be able to stay healthy.
Anyway, I think it'll all work out as long as Jose doesn't get seriously injured.

BTW: Spanish Team has more talent (hint hint to BC) than the roster of the Toronto Raptors.

sorry.. re-read your post.. You were thinking Thad Young instead of Iggy. So ignore what I just wrote.

I posted this a week or so ago in a different thread.. but if it's accurate, Minny wants no part of Iggy:
http://www.1500espn.com/sportswire/W...e_target071712
The Andre Iguodala dream can just about die. The source said the Wolves have done a ton of homework on him, and the feedback didn't all register positively. Because of that, they are reluctant to give up assets and pay him $30 million over the next two years. His contract has a player option for 2013-14, which he is expected to opt into.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostI still don't see it if Philly is a playoff team. That would be trading their best player, or 2nd best maybe if Holiday takes another step forward, for a backup PG. They clearly need a back PG, but not for Iggy. I think that only happens if their season is going down the crapper. Otherwise, I think they might look to fill that void differently. If I were them, I would pitch Thad Young+a pick to Minny for Luke Ridnour and Derrick Williams, or something like that
Right now I do not think they are a better team than last year. They are weaker at backup PG and much weaker with their big guys. No one is close to replacing Brand - even an old Brand.
Maybe you are on to something with MIN though, via HoopsHype.com:
Jerry Zgoda: Kahn said they are thinking of one move with another team that he'd consider "significant." Twitter

Holiday can play some 2-guard.
The main thing though is he is an expiring contract.
It seems that all of Philly's moves are being geared towards having A LOT of flexibility for next summer. Trading AI frees up another $15.9M for next year.
