Agreed. JJ might be a great player but the Kings are already overloaded with
shooting guards - and I don't think JJ has the size to play small forward in
the NBA.

    Is it just me or does JJ look like a real idiot here?  I've seen 
the money clauses of the contract, and JJ (#4) would end up making the same
amount as Laettner (#3) will be making the first 4 years of his contract.
In addition he could be a free agent in only 4 years (possibly even a 
year sooner with contract clauses).  If JJ plays anything like the star
he's supposed to be, he should end up earning more money over the length
of Mourning and Laettner's contracts.  Teams are signing their picks into
5 and 6 year contracts not because their agents are demanding them (at least
in most cases), but because they don't want to deal with resigning them
any sooner than necessary.

    Either way, there's no possible way he's going to end up earning enough
money waiting to make up for missing a year.

About LJ?  Well, he plays power forward first of all, a position where his
height definitely hurts him.  But he also has the type of body to hurt
people back by being as strong as he is.  And there's no way anyone would
want to see LJ playing small forward.  Jim Jackson is definitely a two
guard and wouldn't be able to stop small forwards who can play inside.
Let's face it, his body isn't exactly like that of LJ or Barkley, and you
want him handling the ball more anyway.

As for Golden State, Chris Mullin was the small forward and routinely
abused on defense as well.  But he could make up for his deficiencies with
offensive production.  And he's taller than Jackson.

Couple of questions.  Anyone know what the last offer JJ had was?? And, how
it compares to the player above and below him?  I was under the assumption it
was between the two.

And JJ is screwing with Dallas, by holding out on what seems to be a fair 
offer.  My opinion is screw him.  He is not going to help Dallas at this 
point, so I say trade him for someone who is willing to play...

Yup, made five losses in a row for Milwaukee. It seems as though either the
league is becoming aware of the Bucks tendencies or that Milwaukee's lack of
talent is finally showing through. I'd tend to believe the latter. While all
is not lost, I think these last five games will be more of an indication of
how the season will go for Milwaukee. No, not losing every game, but probably
the majority of them.

Dunleavy is a great coach and he has some talent, but not enough to win
consistently over the course of an 82-game season. In reality, seeing them
do a little worse and make the lottery would be much better for the team
anyway than making the playoffs. Regardless of if they win or lose, at least
they're playing agressive, hard-nosed basketball which is what Milwaukee
fans want to see. 

Hopefully the Bucks will get back rolling Saturday night in Utah!

	Well, I don't have the statistics, and I didn't see that much
	of Pippen in his rookie season, but I do remember being extremely
	impressed by him the first time I saw him play (that year) against
	the Celtics.  In fact, I don't even know what year we are talking
	about, but I distinctly recall commenting in this newsgroup that
	year that Scottie Pippen was the only rookie I had seen who had
	really impressed me.  What year are we talking about?  I remember
	because it is one of the three or four smartest things I ever 
	said, the other being my opinion before Don Nelson retired that
	I thought he would make a great coach, my belief the song "billie jean"
	would be a BIG hit long before anyone else I knew had heard it
	(I played it at a news years party on 12/31/82 and made that prediction
	when no one else at the party had picked up on the song before),
	and the prediction that Bush's standing in the poll would drop
	from 92% before the elections, and that the election would actually
	be really close (this was right after the gulf war).  There may
	be other brilliant observations I have made in the past that
	don't occur to me at the moment, but in any case I am absolutely
	certain that Scottie Pippen looked great in that first game 
	against the Celtics.

Today's paper reported the Dallas Mavericks were ready to trade Jimmy
Jackson to Sacremento for Lionel Simmons plus next years No. 1 pick.

It seems like a high price to pay since the Kings will probably have
yet another lottery pick this year and have the chance to pick up the
next "collegiate superstar."  Perhaps Cheaney (sp) from Indiana?

Draft pics are to valuable to trade away for unproven talent and the Kings
would continue to dwell in the cellar of the Pacific Division if they lose 
Simmons and their next lottery pic.

Now, if they trade Simmons for Jackson straight up, go for it!

Can you believe that JJ is back in school, to "never play for Dallas"
ever?  Dallas, who is on the road to a number 1 draft pick, will face
JJ near the top of the list of potential players next year...Even they
couldn't be dumb enough to pick him again.  Now if they had only
traded him to the Cavs for Ferry and Terrell Brandon (oh, we can wish).
Here's to college education over millions of dollars (but what was the
point of leaving OSU early anyway...)
