May 20th and yes, the Pistons draft pick is top eight protected this year.
And I don't think anyone would have traded for Haslem to begin with, but that's a moot point.

but he nearly went to Denver in 2011 back when he was still good. I imagine Riley would've gotten some calls about Haslem during the season as well if he hadn't gotten hurt and missed most of the season

Did I hear Jennings hasn't been that bad in Detroit? 
Dumars should never be a GM again after giving 200 million to Gordon/Villanueava/Smith/Jennings.
Dude is wild reckless.

He had offers from the Nuggets and Mavs in free agency. He stood to make A LOT more with them, but decided to stay with the Heat.

### ESPN commentator and Herald contributor Dan Le Batard reported today that the Heat last week rejected Philadelphia’s trade offer of Evan Turner for Udonis Haslem because trading Haslem, who sacrificed more than $10 million to sign here, would not be sending the right message.
That would show incredible loyalty considering Turner would have potentially helped more than Haslem, and even more so, because dumping Haslem’s $4.62 million salary next season would have greatly eased Miami’s luxury tax burden and thus made it easier to add or keep supporting players (such as re-signing Mario Chalmers).

why would he try to make the rockets wanna shut him down when they just shut him down like 15 minutes before that comment?
just sounded like he was a sore loser, or taking shots at his teammates when they couldnt step up while 3 people were on him

Lebatard tells the story how at UD's grandma funeral the whole front office showed up to support UD. The neighborhood was so bad that UD had his boys go look out after Pat and others ride so they wouldn't get jacked. And he told his dying grandma he would take less to stay home.
Plus like it's been said. You can't go to LeBron preach family and ask him to take less for UD to stay to go ahead and trade him.

It turned out to be a good move as far this season goes Haslem has played well lately mean while Evan Turner sucks.

The Bulls play hard against everyone.
And I admitted I might have been wrong about Kyrie after his rookie season. I expected him to be an average PG in the league when he was drafted. Not bad, but not an elite guy. I was damn impressed with what I saw his first year.. and I've grown increasingly less impressed the more I watch him play
I know their team sucks in Cleveland, but I feel like I was right the first time He's still shown flashes, but he's falling more to the "average" side than the future best PG in the league that some people were talking about. Great handles, a clever ad campaign, and crossing up Team USA got people extra hyped for him.- Status
