    Yo dudes, great ‘cast. Give some more love to Baron and the streaky Warriors. Cavs need a trade. Portland (yes, Portland) needs a trade. New York needs a trade. Chicago needs a trade. There should be plenty of deals coming up!

    I LOVE New Orleans this season. I’ve got a huge man-crush on Paul and I would love to see them do some damage in the West. They need to make a trade more than any of the top tier teams in the association.

    @Ryne–

    Why does Portland need a trade? I wouldn’t mind moving one of the PGs for something nice, but I think anything above that needs to wait till next year to see how everyone plays with Oden. Anything you do this year could be a wrong move once we see how Oden plays with them…

    Oden comes back, the Blazers see what they got, then adjust. This is still a year about growth.

    Unless, a slam bang deal happens. Harris is awesome but losing Outlaw (along with the others) isn’t worth it right now. Without Outlaw, the Blazers would have a losing record. I’m a big fan of Harris, think he’d look great in a Blazer uniform (and he kinda looks like Maya Rudolph) but his huge contract eats any potential cap space in 2009 and who knows how good Outlaw can become.

    (Not saying you were advocating the Harris/Kidd deal, but I am addressing it as it is the rumor du jour)

    The Hornets need bench help badly, but aside from Julian Wright they don’t have much value they can part with. I don’t know if Wright will fit on the Hornets in the future, but they don’t have any other athletic slashers that I can think of. Only problem is, he’s a rookie and doesn’t contribute much now but should in the future. So, they ain’t got much to deal with so they are what they are for the rest of the year for better or worse.

    Portland could easily make a trade to get better this year and ensure a playoff appearance, but it would sacrifice potential key pieces to surround Oden with.

    Did that guy honestly say that Zach Randolph looks like a ninja turtle? That’s awful. His eyes are broken. Zach Randolph is pound for fuckin’ pound a fat Eddie Winslow.

    How is it not obvious?

  6. goathair at 1:37 pm on 01.31.2008

    Wow.

  7. J.E. Skeets at 1:44 pm on 01.31.2008

    That’s KD’s cause. Episode 92.

  8. Jake at 1:45 pm on 01.31.2008

    Good. You shoulda brought it up and punked that guy who called him a TMNT. And that’s why I blew KD in a backalley in 1994. Cuz he’s just that talented and beautiful.

  9. Jake at 1:46 pm on 01.31.2008

    BTW, more Hall and Oates. Thanks.

  10. J.E. Skeets at 1:46 pm on 01.31.2008

    And, um, I didn’t mean “The Land Before Time” … woops.

  11. Jake at 1:56 pm on 01.31.2008

    LMAO@ Popeye Jones and Sloth

  12. Robuka Kenderle at 2:50 pm on 01.31.2008

    I think most people here already had doubts that there even was a female ‘friend’ that evening with Skeets but that “Wow! He’s good looking” squeal pretty much convinced us on the non-existence of this so-called ‘friend’.
    Even Tas called him on the accent.

    The more I think about it and has anyone ever seen Skeets and Kenny James (from My Name is Earl/praise Xenu) together? I didnt think so… just saying….

    It looks like you can see Al Harrington’s brain through his scalp.

  14. Alan at 5:55 pm on 01.31.2008

    LeBron looked pissed at the basket the whole game so he decided to throw down some monster dunks to show him whos the King.

  15. christoff at 6:38 pm on 01.31.2008

    goathair - I think Battier has that look trademarked.

  16. Alex aka new boston big 3 fan at 8:16 pm on 01.31.2008

    hilary vs obama NOW!

  17. Bilal at 9:49 pm on 01.31.2008

    haven’t listened yet but hope brendan haywood is top 3 on the tmnt list.

  18. Billy W. at 2:34 am on 02.01.2008

    What about Natey Robinson for a TMNT? He looks like some sort of mutant, teenaged reptile to me. So does Sam Cassell, now that I think about it (at least the mutant part). Maybe he and Jerry Stackhouse can be Bebop and Rocksteady.

  19. Jimmy at 2:39 am on 02.01.2008

    Great show guys, I like how you guys say your gonna talk dubs, and then go into a 5 min span talking about what the hornets need to improve on. BTW, if I have to pick a TMNT, Sam Cassell has got to be Baxter the Fly, cause that man is UGLY! and of course Ron Artest will have to be Casey Jones!

    Baron Davis got Snubbed!

    Raps all the way
