Will O'Neill senses Cousins?

- Diane Allen, a correspondent for SBNation.

Yet some young lady right. After reading the reviews on the saw light on the eve of an autobiography of John Stockton, you can ask only one question: "Is there a conscience best passer in the history of basketball?"
Indeed, instead of fascinating stories about the partners, we know only that he smashed the car's parent, being a teenager, confused speech at his own wedding because of nervousness and raises six children, because they do not accept abortion. Somehow boring, especially in light of the fact that he wrote the book himself, and did not hire a journalist, trusts, as is customary. However, I'm sure fans of this, it does not confuse. Especially as a preface to the memoirs of Karl Malone wrote. So hammer in search engines "Assisted: An Autobiography by John Stockton" - and enjoy.

"Who is better - LeBron James or Michael Jordan? 'I would say that the King. And please note that I grew up in the era of His Vozdushestva. I am 36 years old,"
- Floyd Mayweather, a boxer.

And you thought that the soap opera is over? Nothing! After the double LeBron with "Hit" and the title of the second most valuable player should expect the next series. However, the author of these lines will not seriously comment on the statement of Floridians fan, never leaves the ring defeated, even bearing in mind that no matter how successful he made ​​a bet on the seventh game of the series with "Indiana" (by the way, why was not followed further in the final?). Only pay attention to the argument, remembering anecdote: There is a Sunday service at the church. Priest (to the congregation): "Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to talk about the Virgin Mary. All in fact it is known, is not it?" All in unison: " Yes, we know Virgin Mary " Priest, "Now, I want you to explain who this is actually the Virgin Mary. Here, for example, take the Dolores. Arise, Dolores (70 years old lady gets up.) We all know Dolores yes ? " All in unison: "Yes, of course," Priest: "Well, everyone knows how good, responsive and honest Dolores. Everybody knows that it will always help in trouble, will warm, feed and water. How is it even a stranger would give shelter in the house to share the last piece of bread, will give the money for the trip and never will not deny help to anyone.

All in unison: "Yes, Dolores that! She's our angel savior!" 
Priest: "We all know her as a pious woman, devoted to his family and friends. Nobody will contest the fact that Dolores was a devoted wife and an excellent mother. " 
All in unison: "Oh, Dolores - perfect!" 
Priest: "So, in comparison with the Virgin Mary Dolores - a real whore!"

"I'll tell you this: I'm not going to call anyone and try to exchange Aldridge, but if I rack up, and it will make our team better ..."
- Neil Olshi, general manager of the "Portland."

Well, you got it, right? Neil made ​​it clear that Aldridge will not hold. Once that little bored and humble Portland, it will try to extract the maximum benefit from it. And if you face it, the manager goes absolutely logical. First,
Lamarkus with all due respect to him does not seem indispensable. Second, it is 27, and over the next two years of the contract, he will receive as much as $ 29.3 million. Third, the "Trailblazers" in need of a makeover, and they have someone to lean on and without Aldridge - for example, Lillard, Batyuma and Hickson. By the way, the last perepodpisyvat they owe - center-young, continues to progress, and for sure will come to the forefront. Fourth, for the leader can get very good compensation - a couple of peaks in the NBA Draft next season and a potential player in the starting five of the club need to strengthen the here and now. For example, the bad options exchanges with "Milwaukee", "Utah" or "Minnesota", where you can pick up Ilyasov, Williams and Millsap (of course, after the extension)? Of course, all this is nothing more than a discussion, but it is obvious that with some luck you will get Olshi two peaks in the top 10 in the 2014 NBA Draft (and in fact he still has a present - № 10), and about $ 15 million under the salary cap.

"His decision Sergey never changed - he will return back to the first team friendly match. He arrives only to the ceremony, pobudet on it and fly back. We have not been able to persuade him that he missed the team matches. But even convinced that need to be present at the event, he will be remembered for a lifetime. Yes, he will have to spend 20 hours on the plane - but it's worth it "
- Sergey Ryzhov, agent Sergey Karasev.

And it really is worth it. One this news, I am sure, will make the next night to wake up early or go later several thousand people. Contemplate compatriot in the "green room" on the NBA draft and become a witness of how he will try on the form of his new team - well worth it. When else will drop out such a possibility, given the chaos that is going on in the national basketball. And that son of a prominent point guard passes the fate of Alexei Swede is not selected in the "Fair Talent" in 2010, there is no doubt - all leading experts tipped him from the 11th to the 15th peak. In other words, Sergey has the potential to not only set a record for the Russian players and top up their colony in the most prestigious league in the world, but also in her debut next fall. This is the case when gain experience and materet stands on the western side of the Atlantic. The more so that the problems of physics for such a workaholic, as Karasev, will come with time, open-mindedness, and the "gold" hand is much more important. Ah yes, the main contenders for it are considered "Dallas", "Brooklyn", "Milwaukee", "Atlanta" and "Oklahoma."

"I'm going to make DeMarcus Cousins ​​best" big "in the league,"
- Shaquille O'Neal, television presenter.

But this is not just fun, but damn interesting. If legendary center-after dinner with the owners, "Sacramento" really agree to replenish the team and coaching staff will personally "Infa Terrible's" № 1 in the NBA, we are with you, and in fact may be witnessing the birth of a better fifth issue of our time. Shaquille seen in my lifetime all that he could, he was not deprived of a sense of humor and is well aware of how to deal with unruly players such as Cousins. However, with a high degree of confidence we can talk about that Demarcus reconsider their behavior if realize that Diesel came to the team in a good solely because of him. Indeed, such an honor awarded every day. And something tells us that Howard does not want to renew the agreement with the "Lakers" because Mike D'Antoni nervously begins to smoke, while inspired by the fans of "King" straightforward way to earn tickets for next season.
