Windhorst was on the "Really Big Show" this morning. They have not posted any of the interviews on their site yet. Last one is from yesterday.

Here is a good interview from yesterday with Joe Tait.

Dont go to that site it is infected with malware. Iwill try to listen to the tait interview but in prior recent interviews he comes across as a crotchety old man.

Pretty sure the site has been redone since someone hacked it a couple of weeks ago. My Norton accepts it and would not when it was hacked.

As to amnesty. A lot of players will be available to the top teams. Gilbert does not want to be paying players for those teams. Miami desperately wants a point guard.
I hear this argument a lot in the national media--that the Cavaliers blew it by not getting anything for James. But it's real easy to say that now, when we know the Cavs didn't win a title with him, and when we know he didn't end up coming back. People act like both of those were completely predictable ahead of time, but obviously they weren't. And I would imagine you can't find a single case in the history of sports where a team that was a legitimate championship contender traded its best player just because he was an impending free agent.

That's not really the case with Howard and Paul. I'm still not sure how the Lakers could get both without fielding those two, Kobe, and 9 guys from the playground. There's still a cap, right?

Lequit still doesnt understand. I was never a fan of him. I was a fan of his jersey. He should just be quiet.

I would not ignore if my antivirus had a warning. My norton did warn me when it was hacked. Not now. They did tweet a new address that day and I did use it. Maybe that updated my browser.

My only guess is that you are still on the old site. The new site looks very much like the ESPN site.

The Spurs are planning to use the amnesty clause on Richard Jefferson, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
Congratulations if you had R.J. in your amnesty office pool. Jefferson has three years and $30 million left on his contract and will get paid that amount, but the move takes his numbers off San Antonio's cap and will allow for the addition of another small forward such as Caron Butler or Josh Howard. Jefferson, meanwhile, should definitely catch on with another team after averaging 11.0 points and 1.7 threes (on 44.0 percent shooting) last season.

Charlie T, did you ever understand this contract to begin with ?

Battier is the perfect role player. He does everything (except post up) that LeBron refuses to do.

He is a fantastic defender and a very good 3 point shooter. Much better player then Mark Miller.
