Who ends up with more rings, Lebron or Durant?

Lebron. 1) East is easier. 2) LBJ doesn't need as good as teammates as KD. (LBJ is a better player - sorry, but it's true).

Sounds like we have a long term wager.

I can think of just a few things I like less than a tandem of Joe Johnson and Deron Williams.

BTW, about a chapter in to the FreeDarko book and it's amazing. I suggest you purchase one for yourself. It's what I wish Simmons' book had been.

Have to say, I really like the JET signing for the Celtics.

Ray Allen to Miami.
Meh. I saw nothing from him this year that scares me.

Howard to Nets allegedly dead. If the Nets sign Lopez for as much as they're threatening, that'll probably be it for Howard getting paid there. At that point, the Nets will be paying Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez near-max money. And they will be terrible.

I can't believe this is a professional basketball team.
The Knicks do not want to be served.
Hide-and-seek, NBA style: Rockets scour Las Vegas to deliver Jeremy Lin offer sheet

Across Las Vegas on Saturday, Rockets officials and couriers fanned out trying to deliver Jeremy Lin’s offer sheet to the Knicks in what has become an odd bit of NBA front office hide and seek.
Handing over the paper work has proved as difficult as reaching a deal to land Dwight Howard.
The Rockets have tried to deliver the offer sheet to the Knicks since Friday afternoon, but they had eluded their efforts, holding up the start of the three-day clock to match the offer or let Lin go to the Rockets, according to a person familiar with the process.
The Rockets had called and asked where they could deliver the offer sheet but were told that information would not be shared. By Friday evening, a courier called the hotel room of a Knicks official but did not get an answer. Roughly 30 minutes later, a front desk clerk reached him but was told the Knicks were not taking deliveries and that he would not come to the front desk to pick up a package.
The Rockets sent representatives to the Knicks practice on Friday and to the game on Saturday but could not find Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald.
The offer sheet was FedExed to the Knicks’ New York office and will have the receipt forwarded to the league office, but league officials said that until it can be shown that the Knicks have the offer sheet in hand, the clock on the Knicks’ three-day period to match would not begin.
The gamesmanship, though unusual, will not last. Having the offer sheet in the Knicks New York office will eventually suffice. It is expected that in time it would be delivered in Las Vegas. But for more than 24 hours, the Rockets have been unable to connect on what is normally an easy pass

How is this even a possibility in their business model? Contracts on RFAs should be submitted to the league office to begin with, the league should communicate with the current team, immediately, and the current team should respond to the league, who should then respond to the player and the prospective team.

I've been watching a lot of the D-league. The Rockets have some seriously good talent. Stats from last night's game.
Terrence Jones - 24 points 12 rebounds
Jeremy Lamb - 23 points 6 rebounds
Donatas Motiejunas - 20 points 12 rebounds
Royce White - 6 points 12 rebounds 8 assists
They were all fairly touted coming in.
