Even though the West lost the allstar game who do you think was the MVP for the west?
I say Chris Paul.

yea def chris paul he had 14 dimes

Yea, he played very well, Lebron and Howard were showboating for most of the game, they're lucky the East won.

The eight-time All-Star point guard returns to the franchise of his NBA birth after the eight-player deal with New Jersey was finally consummated Tuesday morning. After six days of twists and turns, the Mavs dealt Devin Harris, Gana Diop, Trenton Hassell, Moe Ager, Keith Van Horn, a pair of draft picks and cash to acquire Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright from New Jersey.

Quite a few no namers, and a has-been in a deal that should help the Mavs now and the Nets later. I dunno how I feel on this one.

Paul Gasol= a 7-footer from memphis averaging 19 points and 9 rebounds is being traded to L.A Lakers to join Kobe Bryant. In exchange for Kwame Brown and rookie point guard Javaris Crittenton to Memphis in the trade along with two future No. 1 picks. I honestly think this is the break Kobe needs because even though he is overall the best player in NBA IMO, he cant take a team to the finals by himself so i think this is great trade for the team.

It was a great move for the Lakers, but there are too many good teams in the west for the Lakers to even make it to the western conference finals (IMO). They're the 3rd or 4th best team in the west.

Lakers (Kobe, and Gasol) played well and beat the Suns, though I was impressed at the level of intensity Shaq played at. His overall numbers weren't too impressive, but his presence was definitely felt at both ends. When he gets implemented more into the offense should make for a deadly situation in the paint.

I'm gonna miss Kidd, but when I heard the news that he was going to Dallas, I couldn't wait to see Marcus Williams start & last night's game (so far at least) was worth the wait seeing him drop 25 points...

[zapasant]

oh god, how did i not know this thread existed. shame on me!!

well, kidds game with the mavs was a horrible start he had 6 turnovers did he not?

[Floydd]

I'm disappointed in who they gave up, but should make them better all-around.

Raptors are about to lose to the Knicks tonight.
Sad really, kinda makes me wonder about our playoff chances.

I also don't like the trades or lack there of we made on deadline day, we should have tried to bolster our lineup.

[blueovalboy7]

Well Bosh is an extremely amazing player, if they could get him a good guard as support they could go very far, at least I think.

[wiiman14]

Hmmm, who do you guys think will win it all?
I say the suns or the lakers.

[blueovalboy7]

At this rate the Lakers, they're playing very good basketball, and with Bryant and Gasol, they're in a good situation. I thought that once Shaq got used to the Suns system he'd help big time, but they're point production is down, as well as Nash's assists. I dunno, might be a bad move in the end. I'm hoping they'll pull out of their slump.

[wiiman14]

Mabey Boston too, They have been doing really good.

[zapasant]

i think bston is finally showing their true colours........overrated

the best team in the nba is the lakers, with out a doubt, IMO there are quite a few teams that can be considered better then the celtics, but because they are in the harder western conference, their record doesnt show it

[Jslck630]

idk ummm stupid trade IMO hughes for freakin wallace not smart but i say LeBron needs some good help cant wait to see who is making it 2 the playoffs i think the rockets have a good chance even without Yao but my Celts are taking it but they better not slack the LAKERS are freakin tough........ wat about heat 11 and 49 i think wat happen 2 them????
