I'm sure D will be a subject they stress, but if you look at the team we have assembled, you have a lot of guys who are going to play good D even if they don't go over it in practice.
Different group of guys on this team, my friend.

I just don't want to see Gallo and AR coming out to the top of the key to guard PGs.

anyone who had faith or believe MJ could/would do a good job there is either a youngin, mental or just plain dumb.

Kwame Brown anybody!! Rip for Stack!!! Courtney (whatever his last name was) for Tyron Liu

That right there says it all.

MJ has put the trade on ice...

from adrian woj...

Michael Jordan's reluctance to approve a trade of Tyson Chandler and Boris Diaw to the Raptors for Jose Calderon and Reggie Evans has stalled a proposed three-way deal, sources told Yahoo!

Jordan, sources said, has been hesitant to trade Chandler.

The players involved were notified of the trade on Monday, but they are now on ice.

The Raptors will send Hedo Turkoglu to the Suns for Leandro Barbosa, regardless of how the separate component plays out.

you could say pretty much the same thing for the way isiah built teams.

to be fair to jordan here, he seems to realize that he's giving up way too much in this trade.

#Raptors update: #Bobcats' portion of three-team trade is dead, Toronto Star reports. Hedo-for-Barbosa still a go. #NBA http://bit.ly/aHbpXh

UPDATED 12:13 p.m. ET: The Toronto Star reported Tuesday afternoon that the Bobcats portion of the deal is dead , nixed by Jordan's concerns.

In the make-believe world of NBA trades, this one actually makes sense. The Raptors get rid of Turkoglu, who was never happy with his role in Toronto, and get a playmaker in Barbosa with only a one-year commitment. They use a portion of the $14.5 million trade exception received in the Chris Bosh sign-and-trade to make the deal pass muster under the 125 percent rule required to validate trades between teams that are over the salary cap. Turkoglu is on the books for $9.8 millon next season.

The Suns, trying to move on after losing Amar'e Stoudemire to the Knicks, made another solid move in acquiring restricted free agent Josh Childress from Atlanta for a second-round pick. By doing so, Phoenix bypasses the offer sheet and seven-day matching procedure for restricted free agents, which eliminates what would've been merely a formality since the Hawks were not going to match an offer sheet for Childress after signing Joe Johnson to a max deal. With Turkoglu's play-making ability and Childress' athleticism, it's hard not to like the Suns' post-Amar'e look. Childress, who gets a five-year, $34 million deal, will give coach Alvin Gentry more flexibility in his rotations. Turkoglu will take some of the pressure off an aging Steve Nash to be the playmaker and ballhandler on every possession.
