Depends what they want. IF they wanted Lebron, Kobi, Wade or Paul....not gonna happen. Also depends what the team needs. This is definately not a straight up 'black and white' question...

Yeah, back and forth the whole game.......just so you know I think Fisher fouled Allen at the end. He held his arm before he shot the ball.
Great game last night. Can't wait for Sundays game......its going to be payback time for what happened in LA
It was unfortunate for the C's that the refs decided that it was going to be a finesse game last night. The fouls that put Rondo on the bench, and fouled out KG were just mind blowing. I thought Doc was going to blow a gasket last night, I have not seen him that animated in a long time.
Unfortunate that in such a high profile game, that was played with intensity that you usually don't see in the regular season, the referees have to make themselves the story. Just ref the game, if we don't hear your name you are doing your job.
Yup, that sixth foul on KG was mind blowing.
There were still four minutes left in regulation when he fouled out.

Really?
I'll have to watch it again, because on the replay it looked like Ray was falling back as he took the shot, but he wasn't touched.
Great game last night. Huge confidence booster for the Lakers in beating the C's at home.
Next up for the Lakers: Cavaliers in Cleveland where they are still undefeated. Sunday, 3:30pm on ABC. See you there.....

Magic trade Bogans to Milwaukee for point guard Tyronn Lue
The Orlando Magic have traded shooting guard Keith Bogans and cash to the Milwaukee Bucks for point guard Tyronn Lue, the Sentinel has learned.
Lue, an 11-year veteran who previously played for the Magic, addresses the immediate need at the position created by the shoulder injury suffered by All-Star starter Jameer Nelson.
Nelson is likely to undergo surgery fora torn labrum that could sideline him for the remainder of the season.

I agree.
As Salsa said, injuries are part of the game, but in Brand's case, he's had past injury history. They should've been aware of the risk before signing him. The Sixers took the risk and may have overpaid. The Sixers spent a ton of money (five years, $80 million) on a guy that was coming off of an Achilles injury. He played in just 29 games this season.
Plus, this year Brand's numbers are WAY down. 13 ppg, 1.3 ast, 8 reb. You'd expect more from a guy making $80 mill.
Did Popovich and the Spurs Just Ruin the Game of Basketball?
On Tuesday, Spurs head coach, Greg Popovich decided to rest his 3 stars: Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. All 3 did not play when the Spurs tipped off against the Nuggets. Instead, a starting five of Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas, Matt Bonner, Roger Mason, and George Hill took the floor.
This was billed as a match-up between the upper echelon of the Western Conference’s second tier: A battle to decide who would be the favorite to take on the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. By removing Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili from the mix, Popovich completely robbed the game of any broader symbolism it may have held.
Tuesday night in Denver, Gregg Popovich sought nothing less than to destroy the game of basketball. They essentially forefitted the game by resting their best players.
I can honestly say I’m not sure I can recall another instance of a coach resting his 3 best players in any game, let alone a big game against a conference opponent you are fighting with over seeding. I would be furious if Mike Brown pulled a stunt like this.

Was the injury that ended his season DUE to the Achillies? IF it was, then you might be able to say that...BUT if it was something else...then you just saying it for effect. Regardless, these athlethes get better doctor's than YOU and I would have little chance of seeing...especially when it comes to injuries. And often times, they come back BETTER than before the injury. "WASTED MONEY" is a player that is irresponsible or has been unproductive for an number of years. He is in his 1st year of a 5 year contract....to call him "a COMPLETE waste of money" is a tad premature...don't you think?

I guess we'll find out. But so far, it has proven to be a waste, wouldn't you say?
What?!?!?! I had to read that twice. Did he offer any reason as to WHY he did that?
No. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention actually.
Pop and the Spurs essentially laid down in submission that night. What a blatant form of disrespect for the game.
It's a disgrace. Did he owe a favor to a bookie?
I know theres nothing the league can do about it, but I hope he has received a phone call from Mr. Stern.
In an email to The Plain Dealer, Cavs owner Daniel Gilbert sounded off on the Mo Williams snub.........
GM Danny Ferry had this to say.......
