Yeah...I heard some rumblings about that trade rumour. I think Toronto would definitely benefit from a trade like this. Hopefully it happens before Atlanta wins a game, so BBD can obtain bragging rightsjalen rose for stephon marbury?  | ||

GOODBYE ALVIN WILLIAMS? The Toronto Raptors signed veteran free agent Darrick Martin on Wednesday to be their third point guard. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound Martin has played 10 seasons in the NBA with Minnesota, Vancouver, Sacramento, Dallas, and the Los Angeles Clippers. The 34-year-old Martin averaged 3.8 points, 2.5 assists and 17.3 minutes in 11 games with the Clippers last season. Martin also played 30 games with the Michigan Mayhem of the Continental Basketball Association, averaging 15.8 points and 7.1 assists. "He gives us insurance at the point guard position and will help our younger players develop," general manager Rob Babcock said. Alvin Williams was expected to be Toronto's third point guard, but has played in just one game this season after undergoing microfracture surgery on his right knee last year. <!--startclickprintexclude--> | ||

there must be accountability for the actions of both the nba TEAMS (not the nba!) and the prospects...if they choose to draft a young guy and if they choose to skip college....
Great take.
Personally, I don't feel sorry for those FEW players who decide to skip college and declare themselves for the NBA draft. If they make it, and succeed in garnering an NBA contract, then good for them. No sane person would turn down a million dollars if someone offered it to them due to the fact they didn't have their life straight....I know I wouldn't! If they don't succeed in the pros, or go un-drafted, they can still go to college. Go get a student loan like the rest of us, and apply to a junior college. If he's a good enough player, there is still a chance in making it somewhere professionally. If not, hey, at least he's in school like he should be. If the NBA franchises want to take a chance on the next LeBron, Kobe, KG, or Amare Stoudamire, then let them. They are in a professional business, they can invest where they want. If I were a GM, I'd first do my research, then take my chances and probably opt for a potential star, than sign a fading veteran on his last legs. These highschoolers are moldable and teachable, and may, down the road, may make it big. Journeymen are journeymen for a reason. They may have some small impact on some team, in some kind of role, but they never became a star.
On the flipside of things, I do see the argument that The NBA should be socially responsible and promote education to these kids. It would help boost the level of college play, and most potential NBA'ers may benefit from a maturity standpoint, mentally and physically.
The funny thing I found about Jermaine O'Neal's statement, was when he said, "You don't hear about it in baseball or hockey. To say you have to be 20, 21 to get in the league, it's unconstitutional. If I can go to the U.S. Army and fight the war at 18 why can't you play basketball for 48 minutes?"
--- First of all, maybe I'm ignorant because I'm Canadian, but since when was being allowed to play in the NBA part of the US constitution? Secondly, why use the example of fighting for the army in war, when he wouldn't even think about signing up for the military himself??? Maybe he actually SHOULD go sign up and fight in Iraq, before he blurts that nonsense out. That's such a teen-like argument. Hmmm....maybe some time in college might have helped? lol | ||

And just like hoypinoy said, it's much better that they get more proper coaching and conditioning while in college. LBJ I'd say is the exception to the norm...he's fit in quite nicely to the likes of the NBA style of play. | ||

don't get ur hopes too high on the draft guys, as portland/ny/atlanta/no/charlotte are doing a pretty good job at tanking their season... our most realistic position in the draft is at #8 (unless kobe decides not to play and lakers lose all games or we win our remaining games which i highly doubt)... we should all pray that philly drops out of the playoff picture, since our team is eligible to get their 1st round pick next draft. but damn, cleveron james isn't helping much... | ||
