Whatever paycheck he gets at his next job, 10% should be donated to Joe Johnson’s Charity of choice.

It’s a shame we’ll have to wait until november to play it again, but my favorite drinking game is drink every time Josh Childress does anything.

I know it didn’t work for Simmons and the Bucks, but how about you petition for this job, Lang? I’ll back you up, as long as you find a job for me on the staff.

Other than trading Shareef to the Hawks for Gasol and then coming to the Hawks shortly thereafter… and signing Speedy Claxton… and drafting Shelden Williams over Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay, and Randy Fote…and drafting Solomon Jones over Paul Millsap… and Marvin Williams over Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Raymond Felton… he’s been an excellent evaluator of talent and has been the standard bearer for great decision making. He will be missed sorely.

My favourite part of this story is that now, according The Worldwide Follower, the man replaceing Billy Knight will be…. Billy King! The NBA: Where firing a GM then hiring a worse one happens.
