Contenders - Ring or Bust

National Games I want to see (aside from the marquee matchups):
- Thunder vs Blazers Nov 4th TNT Nov 12th ESPN Division Battle Future WCF Battles?
- Bulls vs Bucks Febuary 26th NBATV Battle for the Central Division
- Bulls vs 76ers Mar 28th NBATV - Evan Turner vs Derrick Rose
- Bulls vs Wizards - Rose vs Wall Dec 22nd NBA TV - could be INSANE
- Clippers vs Thunder Apr 2nd NBA TV Just want to see how the Clippers measure up
- Clippers vs Kings Nov 25th TNT - young teams
- Knicks vs Clippers Feb 9th NBA TV - 2nd meeting between Blake Griffin and Amar'e
- Grizzlies vs Warriors - Nov 26th ESPN2 - David Lee vs Zach Randolph
- Grizzlies vs Magic Nov 15th NBA TV - Dwight Howard vs Marc Gasol
- Celtics vs 76ers Dec 9th TNT - Rondo vs Evan Turner ( I think he'll get some time at PG)
- Suns vs Mavericks Dec 17th ESPN - this matchup has been good for a longtime
- Bobcats vs Hawks Feb 12th NBA TV - I think the Bobcats are better than people think
- Thunder vs Nuggets Dec 25th ESPN - Durant vs Melo (Maybe)
Players I'd like to see traded:
- Rip Hamilton to Denver - I think Rip Hamilton with Melo and Billups would be formidable.
- Carmelo to Knicks- if Denver can't get Rip Hamilton
- Tayshaun Prince to the Spurs - I think he'd be better than Richard Jefferson
- Gilbert Arenas - anywhere, where he can start over and regain his form. One of my favorite players.
- Michael Redd - To the Suns - doesn't give the Suns what they need (Bigs) but it makes them more deadly at what they're good at (3 pointers).
