Based on today's rumors that Dwight Howard would be willing to come and play along side Derrick Rose and the rest of the Bulls, how aggressively should the Bulls pursue him? Sam Witt Dwight Howard made it official that he's fine with coming to Chicago, let us rejoice! What would be the most realistic trade scenario to make this happen? Any chance we can keep Deng? Any chance we can get rid of Boozer and keep Taj? Jake Domonkas

I don’t understand the “controversy” over Scalabrine taking the key shot at the end of the Pacers game. Although I don’t see as many NBA games in person as I’d like to, and certainly not nearly as many as you do, when I do I try to watch warm-ups where I often see centers routinely hitting long, unguarded jump shots. I remember seeing Gheorge Muresan make 10-12 straight open 20-footers in warm-ups. For Rose to pass up a highly contested driving shot for a wide open (was anyone within 10 feet?) jump shot by an above-average-shooting power forward seems like a no-brainer to me.

Is Minnesota's Kevin Love worth the maximum?
One of the issues coming up this week is the deadline for contract extensions for the NBA’s class of 2008, and the question is whether the equivocal Minnesota Timberwolves will offer Kevin Love the maximum dollar extension. I have my doubts as well about how much Love is worth, given I don’t see how he can carry a team on any level.

I am watching the Heat-Lakers game! We will never beat the Heat in a 7 game series. We need a big trade to make that happen. Sorry, we just do not have enough fire power. They are just too potent! Dan Abdo
