Ray Allen returns to where it began, will likely end his career in Milwaukee
Despite the theories of Allen waiting for an offer from a contender, he surprised some by signing a 1yr/$3.87M deal with the rebuilding Bucks. Allen was drafted 5th overall in 1996 and played his first 6 NBA seasons in Milwaukee. His 19-year career includes successful stops in Seattle, Boston, and Miami.

Clippers' title hopes crushed as CP3 tears Achillies
The Los Angeles Clippers had very high hopes entering the season, but those dreams died just 9 games into the year. In November 17th's game against the Bulls, Chris Paul tore his Right Achilles Tendon and will require surgery. CP3 will miss the rest of the season. This is his first significant injury in his NBA career, aside from Torn Cartilage in his left knee in 2009-10 with the Hornets. Ironically, it was Darren Collison who used Paul's absence in 2010 to prove his own NBA value and is now Paul's backup in L.A. Collison is an adequate player, but the Clippers have clearly dropped out of the conversation of title contenders without their star guard.

That loss against the Bucks looks really rough, yet the way Parker played, I am not too surprised.

Bayless is instant offence that you cant go wrong with

Liking the way you post the simmed games (just the scores and top performers), I might do that sometime. That would help me a lot, but you know me

Suns accept realities, trade Dragic to continue rebuild
Phoenix Suns trade: Goran Dragic
Orlando Magic trade: Kyle O'Quinn, 2015 1st Round Draft Selection
After an outstanding season in which they missed the playoffs by a razor's edge, the Phoenix Suns came into this year with expectations to make another run at the postseason. Yet things haven't gone as well as they had hoped this season. The Suns are 11-20 and fighting to just stay ahead of the Pelicans and Lakers and avoid being last in the Western Conference. In the hotly contested West, the Suns seemed to accept the fact that last year was more of a fluke than a sign of things to come. Following their poor start, they sent Goran Dragic to Orlando in exchange for Kyle O'Quinn and another 1st rounder. Dragic has a player option this offseason and is due a major pay raise. Considering the Suns' disappointing season, Phoenix chose to avoid a risky free agency for their star guard and cashed in now. The Suns now have three picks in the 2015 draft (PHX, LAL, ORL), likely all lottery picks depending on how much Dragic helps the Magic.
Orlando decided they have enough young talent already, with 7 quality players under the age of 25 (Vucevic, Harris, Oladipo, Gordon, Harkless, Payton, Fournier). Another lottery pick and another year of selling hope seem to be unacceptable in the Magic Kingdom and the team is in win-now mode. In the weaker Eastern Conference it is easier for a team to sneak into the postseason and the Magic are determined to do so. Vucevic, Oladipo, and Harris are already quality NBA starters and adding Dragic gives them a core for a potential playoff team. Another bonus is that last year's 10th overall pick Elfrid Payton can learn from a guard as good as Dragic. A successful postseason berth will likely be enough for the Magic to convince Dragic to sign long-term, or at least opt in and give Orlando another year to prove their upward momentum.
