He's become a punchline. A joke. A sad joke that isn't worth laughing at. But what do we do about it? What can we do?First of all, perhaps we need a little perspective. It is fine to dismiss him as utterly useless when talking about him on a message... Link

Kwame Brown and some cat I've never heard of (Laron Profitt), as well as some cash, are coming to the purple and gold in exchange for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins. I liked pre-March Chucky Atkins. Post-March Chucky got a little to mouthy with the reporters and started to... Link

Apparently, management thinks extremely highly of Kwame Brown. ESPN is reporting that the LA Times are reporting that the Lakers are trading Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins or Devean George to the Wizards for Kwame Brown. Is Kwame Brown really worth two players? I can only hope that this... Link
Down Goes Kobe! Well, probably. One night after shooting 6-of-19 from the field and 1-6 from 3, and missing a game-winner at the end of the game against the Spurs, Kobe mailed it in for 14 minutes against the Grizzlies before leaving with a "bruised shin." Apparently "shin" is... Link

Not too much to cover with the short week, but here s the rundown nonetheless. The entire Atlantic division is pretty ho-hum when it comes to point guards. You know what to expect from Gary Payton, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Rafer Alston and Stephon Marbury. I can t see... Link
