that's a great deal for dallas. not sure what calgary is doing there. they must like the prospect better than others do. they're taking a lot of heat in the media for that deal.

red wings at #2. edvinsson asp kasper danielson cossa augustine mazur wallinder buchelnikov soderblom buium gibson dower-nilsson lombardi johannson no top 10 forwards, but two top 10 d's and the only org with two top 10 goalies. two or three forwards who will be solid nhl players.

berggren too. guy scored double digit goals in the nhl as a 22 year old. i suspect its edvinsson asp danielson cossa kasper mazur augustin wallinder johannsen gibson buium berggren might have aged out of it. they may not have that one guy who profiles as a top prospect, but they have a ton of depth.

so the pistons dont play muscala after he made a decently successful debut. obviously better than wiseman. and then buy him out so he's free to join a contender. tell me again who his agent is?

muscala trade wasnt the b&b trade, it was the bagley salary dump that we had to give two picks away to do.

ausar thompson had almost as many made 3s as the whole bulls team.

its always nice to beat the bulls, but they won this game because the bulls couldnt shoot. they werent missing contested jumpers, they were missing EVERYTHING. badly. 2/29 from 3. for an nba team?

pistons are buying out muscala. that's why theyre not playing him.

bulls were 2/29 from 3. the pistons have 9 wins on the season and 2 against the bulls.

9 points up on washington. (only 2 behind toronto...)

they obviously havent heard about the athletic's check mark system.

caruso mugs cade. no call.

STAY ON YOUR FEET AUSAR! derozan taking him to school.

thank your lucky stars you dont have to listen to stacy king announce this game.

i would not bust the bank for a 30 year old defensive tackle.

drummond has a better jumper than ausar.

exactly. the only question is when they bite the bullet and trade crosby. not this year obviously. probably not next year either but... they have nothing in the pipeline and are committed to some older players with big contracts. crosby saves them from being a complete also ran. but its the pens. they'll bottom out, get the #1 pick, and get yet another generational player to save a team that was inches short of bankruptcy the last time they didnt have a lemieux/jagr/crosby on the team.

great work by rassmussen too

according to them, pittsburgh is a top contender this year...

asp tearing up the swedish league and danileson doing well after the trade to portland should help too.

my teenage years coming back to me now.

you're really going to have to convince me that monty williams isnt actively trying to get fired.

is muscala hurt?

happy for jrm. i thought he was pretty good last year as a linebacker.

here's the athletic write up on him:
