The All-Star Co-MVPs

Aww. It's nice to see Shaq and Kobe getting along again.



Some rumors even began circulating this weekend about a reunion -- a possible trade this week that would send Shaq back to L.A.

Hmm. Now that would be something. And it wouldn't even be possible if not for the laudable maturation of these two veterans, these ambassadors of the game who have been able to set aside their differences for the betterment of--

Wait, wait, wait. Wasn't Shaq -- JUST 8 MONTHS AGO -- busting a rap in a jam-packed nightclub that went something like, "Kobe couldn't do it without me / Hey Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes"?



Yeah, I thought so.

Elton Who?




This kid is good. Maybe he becomes our Paul Millsap. Elton has to come back healthy in order for GM's to consider taking on his contract. The better Speights gets the easier Stephanski can sell the "we didn't know what we had" angle when trying to ship EB. Take EB off our roster right now and we look like the Hawks. Young, athletic, veteran PG coming into free agency. It's not a terrible place to be given that AI left only 2 years ago. Signing Elton hasn't been the step forward we thought it was. However, this team has a lot to work with. Ironically, all our major pieces, except EB and 'Dre Miller have come through the draft. At least we're doing something right.
