ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo

 

Celtics center Bill Russell grabbed 51 rebounds in an NBA game on this date in 1960. Last player within 20 of that: Kevin Love (31 in 2010)

Samuel Dalembert has 35 points on 17-21 shooting. There's your random NBA stat for the season.

Mark Jackson is a little b****.

Plantar fascia tear for Pau Gasol, out at least 4-6 weeks, maybe longer, no surgery decision yet.

Kings officially have filed to move to Seattle with the league.

And now another storied franchise hangs in limbo.

 

My guess is in the next 10 years, Kansas City and Sacramento will get teams.

I was reading 6-8 weeks with rehab, 10-12 weeks with surgery.

I don't know, KC and Sacramento don't seem to be all that great of locations for NBA teams

Yeah I don't feel like people care much about Sacramento to try very hard to bring a team back there.

I concur. They've only been in Sacramento since '86 and even with a few solid years they still only have a .432 winning percentage.

Bulls are looking to trade Boozer for Bargnani.

 

Both suck on defense, both aren't really inside players. I don't know...

Bargnani would balance out the team better than Boozer on offense. They need more of an outside threat, plus it allows the pick and roll to run from further out and space the floor better.

If you trade for Bargnani, I don't think you can amnesty him. Something to consider given our future financial obligations.

The Bulls need a big guy who can hit some outside shots.

YOu can't.

All good points, but Bargnani's been awful this year and he's never been a very efficient shooter. He takes more deep 2s than 3s.

I'd be terrified for our big man depth after a trade like that.

It's already pretty thin as it is. Bargnani can't rebound for s***, he's worse than Brook Lopez in that category.

I don't want to be the one doing the response, but I'll do it.

 

Thibs.

 

The salaries don't match as-is, the Bulls would need to take on another $2.4 million from the Raptors to make it work, but I'm at the point where if Thibs says he can work with a guy, I won't ask questions.
