The 10-Man rotation, starring Warren Buffet's favorite sixth man

By Kelly Dwyer

C: Akron-Beacon Journal. Brian Windhorst: "Yes LeBron James is playing, no LeBron James is not starting. No, there's no good reason for that."
PF: Sactown Royalty. Pro-rated, Kenny Thomas adds up to be the worst goateed power forward in history. So why does he get minutes? Because coaches are obsessed with veteran names that they've heard of before.
SF: We Rite Goode. LBJ -- fine small forward, fine teammate, fine statesman, fine, fine, fine.
SG: SI.com. Steve Aschburner on the more frustrating financial motivations behind the recent batch of Phoenix Suns moves and non-moves.
PG: CelticsBlog. Choosing between Luol Deng and Josh Smith. I'll take the guy who doesn't break plays and doesn't try to bank in threes.
6th: Los Angeles Times. Either Vlad Radmanovic is Phil Jackson's "favorite Martian," or a quote about PJ's DVD viewing habits just got taken way out of context.
7th: Detroit Free Press. Fantastic profile of Jason Maxiell (hat tip to Detroit Bad Boys).
8th: 82games.com. Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah haven't played a single minute together all season.
9th: TheHype. The always insightful Word on the Street.
10th: Bullets Forever. Celebrating its 10th birthday! Wait, what?

    Aschburner makes some very good points about the Suns. It should be added that while the Suns are making a ton of money, they have sold their first round draft picks both last year and this year. Very short sighted. They will pay for that down the road. Those luxury seats won't be filled when Phoenix starts losing.
    The Suns have a real shot of winning the NBA title. A rare position in the history of the franchise. The last time Phoenix was in this position Colangelo added Charles Barkey. A costly move but one that took them to the NBA championship playoff. Sadly, owner Robert Sarver is no Jerry Colangelo. But a move to improve their rebounding is the only way they will see an NBA championship.

    Who's Warren Buffet? Is it a nice restaurant where the elderly get their meals half price on Thursdays? Oh, and by the way, total coincidence, there is this investor guy named Warren Buffett

    This isn't the first expert blog entry that Kelly Dwyer wrote that left me scratching my head. In an attempt to be witty and insightful with his short entries, he leaves the reader questioning why in hell did they just waste a minute of their life reading an abstract article that has nothing to do with the game. You owe me one minute of my life back Kelly Dwyer!

    Tyrus and Noah played together during that dreadful 4th quarter of the Lakers game. TT was at the 3, Noah the 4 and Gray the 5.
