We are pretty casual NBA fans. While we appreciate the start power certain players bring to the table -- Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Duncan, Carmelo, etc. -- we think the overall product is watered down because there are far too many teams in the league. And for this reason, we find ourselves rarely going out of our way to watch any particular game, even during the playoffs: if we're flipping through the channels and the Suns and playing the Mavs, then sure, we're watching for a bit.
The thing is, we always found it far more interesting to talk about the NBA than to actually watch it, and by talk, we namely mean talk about trades, even if they never happen. So our ears perk up when we hear the latest "news" that these Kevin Garnett/Al Jefferson trade talks are back on. (We guess Boston isn't so bad a place after all). Clearly, the Celtics are willing to sacrifice their young players for the opportunity -- say, a three year window -- to win now. KG, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen would make an interesting trio, especially in the pathetic eastern conference. As for the T'Wolves, grouping Jefferson with Randy Foye, Craig Smith, rookie Corey Brewer and Rashad McCants (we still have hope!) would give them some hope for future successes, we suppose.
