While we were busy watching basketball that's actually good, the Erz hired Eddie Jordan as head coach and traded Reggie Evans to Toronto for Jason Kapono.
So to recap: The same team that couldn't get out of the first round now has a no-defense head coach, a three-point shooter who doesn't play D and can't get his own shot, and the #17 pick in a weak-ass draft.
Are YOU excited? I don't know, man. I just don't know.

Just think about the jump in quality we took from the second to the third round. It's like the Eastern and Western Conference finals were part of a different league. Can you ever see the Erz (as currently constructed) playing to get to the title round. Talk about making the leap. That's a chasm that we may not cross in the next decade.
That's why I'm telling you, man: We need Dwayne.
Everyone I say that to waves me off, says I'm either a) being dramatic, or b) hanging my head in the clouds. But if Stephanski lets 'Dre walk and can find a way to move Sammy's contract for cap space, we can make a run next summer.
Dwayne is out of Miami. No doubt. If we can get a nice PG like Ty Lawson in the draft, and pick up Wade next summer, we'll go into 2010-11 like this:
1 -- Lawson, Lou
2 -- Wade, Kapono
3 -- Iggy, Thaddeus
4 -- Brand, J. Smith
5 -- Speights, Ratliff
Dude. If the following happens: a) Lawson grows into a half-decent point, b) we can bring in some respectable front-court support, and c) Eddie Jordan gets them clicking on both ends -- this team will be downright scary.
It's not a crazy scenario. Not at all. Why can't we have this?

P.S. You'll love this (unrelated):
I got wasted at a wedding last weekend and wound up straight playing the fool. 9-10 drinks into the reception (like, long after even the cake got cut), the DJ spun "Jam On It"...and I broke out the worm, then turned into Ozone and was doing the backspin mid-floor. Man, I hope that didn't get caught on camera. On a related note, it turns out that I remember all the words to both "Jam On It" AND "Ice Ice Baby," both of which I rapped while breakdancing. I've officially done something that will embarrass my children.
Ooooooooooo...
Rumor has it Stephanski is talking to Cuban about Sammy to Dallas for Stackhouse's expiring contract plus baggage.
(Fingers crossed.)

anytime you do the worm on a wedding dance floor, it's safe to say you've done something that will embarass your children. You could end up on America's Funniest Videos. You could be on Leno after the youtube hits tops 10 million. You could be the next Chocolate Rain guy. All that really determines this is whether someone there had a video camera/phone (an absolute) on their person and the cinematic eye/wisdom (a distinct possibility) to capture such a moment.
