I now fear our new Walsh-D’Antoni administration. Trading away Renaldo Balkman for nothing in a salary dump while refusing to trade away Zach Randolph in a similar (but actually meaningful) salary dump a couple weeks ago… I don’t like it a bit. Granted, I did like Renaldo Balkman a lot more than most people.
He played defense. He had, at worst, a weak guard’s handle. He rebounded. He tried hard. And now he is gone.
I think we will regret this.

We appeared on Lance and John in the Morning on 1560 AM The Game in Houston on Friday morning. That appearance is below. I should note that Brian called in from his car, and I called in from the back of a cab on my way to work. The FDR Drive is loud, as is the BQE, and our respective connections were not so good. So we wound up talking over the hosts and each other every now and then. Still: Really good interview. Lance and John definitely know their SASHSG stuff. It’s below:
Conclusions:
1. The Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society of Gentlemen loves John and Lance, and tolerates the City of Houston. Dying media? Hell to the naw.
2. All of America loves Kevin Love.

We’ve made Sports Illustrated’s Media Power Rankings! I have always been a fan of Richard Deitsch and his work, so this is pretty sweet. And check out the company! Scott Van Pelt! Jared the Subway Guy! Hey, how’s the weather down there, Leitch and Daulerio? And Dick Vitale!
I can only hope the real SAS makes it into such vaunted territory once more someday.
We also got another Deadspin link (three! this approaches overkill, but we welcome overkill with warm, flabby arms), this one dedicated to the Kevin Love encounter.
