The 10-man rotation, starring the Dallas 'Big Three'

By J.E. Skeets


A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Dallas Basketball. Donnie Walsh Nelson says the Mavericks have a 'Big Three' that ranks with anybody's.
PF: Posting and Toasting. Video of Renaldo Balkman's Knick'd out 1983 Caprice Classic.
SF: Awful Announcing. Charles Barkley goes on the Dan Patrick Show to address this charity poker event "news."
SG: The Sometimes Daily Nug. Poor out a little liquor for the Lakers' car flag.
PG: Brew Hoop. Poll: Who would win if the Celtics played Team USA?
6th: Brian Windhorst, Akron Beacon Journal. Getting a handle on these Andy Varejao trade rumors.
7th: The Sports Hernia. A hilarious look back at some legendary foreign NBA Draft prospects.
8th: SLAM Online. Shoals' Quotemonger: NBA championship edition.
9th: Sneaker Files. Back To The Future II inspired Nike Hyperdunks. Marty McFly must be proud.
10th: Post City Magazines. An interview with the most underrated play-by-play guy in the biz, Dan Shulman.

    Only few teams in nba have legit "big 3"
    boston with allen, pierce, kg
    spurs with parker, ginobli, duncan
    wizards with arenas, butler, jamison
    mav's big 3 are not really potent

    #9 your lakers really screwed up...the gasol trade was just as bad as the kidd trade because the lakers gave up two 1st late round picks that they could have used to get a big men such as hibbert or lopez

    Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker are still the "Big 3" in basketball. Boston's "kids" played a HUGE supporting role in helping the old men to the finals whereas the Spurs Big 3 + a sub-par Bowen and the once-cut Barry still carried the Spurs to the brink. Not bad! I'd take the aging Spurs big 3 over Dallas' any day. Kidd has proven he has not only lost a step but in now lagging way behind other points in the league.

    beasely will make a good power forward but at 6'9" he doesnt have the stats to be an all star center. i could see derrick rose doing a ray allen chris paul kinda thing. they will both be all stars i kinda like mia and i could careless who they get. either way mia is going to be balling out next year.

    I hope its obvious to everyone that the NBA is scared to death of what Donaghy (the dirty ref...the only publicly identified dirty ref) has to say and is publicly attacking him financially to gain leverage over him and scare any others who might support him....THis is a very nasty business

    The Cheapest most obnoxios lawsuit ever. David Stern is now lower than whale s hit on the bottem of the ocean. I hope it all proves out true and the NBA has to issue an apology and fires every referee who took the kickbacks and David Stern goes to Prison.

    No love for the study of who is the most consistent player at http://www.hoopsavenue.com/2008/06/do-consistent-minutes-make-a-player-consistent/
    It was Corey Maggette FYI.
