Its interesting. Westbrook has big games and not so big games against Howard. Billups though, he should just absolutely shred.

This however is a bit more telling:

Of course, those stats are BEFORE major back surgery.

That's true. I wish someone would talk about Dwight's back surgery going forward. Not somoene on here, someone who actually has expertise and knowledge of the situation. It seems like the story nobody cares about, which leads me to believe its not a lingering issue.

[nickagneta]

For all the Dwightmare stuff going on, I am surprised I have seen so little by the press whether teams looking to trade for Dwight are afraid of his back surgery. If I was about to invest $100 million on a player, knowing his back will hold up long term would be really important before trading away huge assets for him.

[jgod213]

yeah suprisingly little talk about it.

i mean even if its not an issue in the least bit you'd think there'd still be more chatter about it from the talking heads.

Hey Jared Dudley, are you mad that you're not going to get to play with Steve Nash next season?

"Well, you know my main man Nash really helped my game grow. You guys might not know this but I was the 17th most efficient scorer in basketball last season, with 1.05 points per possession, which is in no small part due to my 17th best rank as a spot up shooter. But I'm not mad. I've got my man Steph Curry to help keep the defense honest, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as dynamic players to keep the defense's focus, and Nik "The Body" Pekovic to kill it in the paint. All I've gotta do is sit around and wait for kick outs, while hitting the offensive boards. You guys would've know this, but I was the 5th best starting SF in the league last year at getting offensive rebounds."

Aw hey Dwyane Wade, what's up with you?

"Leave me alone. You know you need to keep 500 yards from my person at all times. And stop sexting Gabrielle Union. Also, might I just add, as a personal note, that I don't know what you're into, but if those pictures are any inclination, you're sick. You're sick and you need help."

Dwyane Wade, everybody!

Hey now, its free. And its the first time I've actually looked at my guys with it.

[Roy H.]

Aw cool, Stephen Curry! What are you gonna do later?

Probably have another ankle surgery, like the two he's had in the last year. 

Sobering fact:  the last guy I can remember injuring his ankles repeatedly like that was Wally Sczerbiak.  Seriously, what did Curry have, something like 8 or 9 major sprains over parts of two seasons?

Roy I traded for him from you after you assured me and everyone on this blog that he was a 'sure thing'. That his injury issues were completely overblown. You even implied that a guy like Bynum was a bigger injury risk.

Are you telling me that you lied and didn't believe any of that just to get someone to bite on Stephen Curry?

Haha.  There's a reason I traded him.  Those ankles aren't going to hold up.  I don't think there are many guys who have that type of a stretch with repeated injuries to the same body part who suddenly have no further problems.

But yeah, Bynum is a major injury risk, too.

Roy you said 'Sure Thing'. I'm going to inform the CB ethics commission on this. A man doesn't do these things and just get away with it.

I can't believe you swindled me so. I'm just...I'm just such a rube. Always too trusting.

I get the feeling I'm gonna screw up the 6.4, because this 'obvious choice' doesn't seem to stand out to me.
