True, but I did refer to the 'unglamourous' small markets. Miami's a much more attractive prospect for a player than Denver/Charlotte/Milwaukee/these types of teams. Plus it helps they had a drawcard like Wade to attract other stars (whom they had to draft via the lotto!).

Basketball noobie here, it isn't played at all where I live.

Could someone answer me this: why isn't derrick rose's move when he injuried himself ilegal? I mean the jump he makes without letting the ball go before landing.

Thanks

it's called a pro hop

it's not illegal because he doesn't even take a step after the dribble and jump stops then jumps again to shoot

I don't think so.

It's called a "jump stop". As long as Rose lands on both feet simultaneously after the jump and then doesn't take another step (he can lift a foot but not place it back down), then it's not a violation.

However, this is the NBA, and players break this rule all the time.

Timberwolves are looking exciting, just signed AK47 for a two-year deal!

Can't wait for the season to start, though it'll be awkward to see all of my precious bench mob scattered all around :<

.. and when did the Bulls sign Nazr Mohammed? I see it written in several articles, but I can't for the life of me find a source

AK is a nice addition. I could see him being useful to them as a shotblocker since none of their bigs can protect the rim. They better hope he's past his injury-prone days or that will be a reported 2yr/$20M down the toilet.

Thanks! Nazr is still listed as a OKC player most places, so I got confused..

Not too excited about our offseason moves, but I take solace in knowing they're all 1 year contracts, making us a big player during the 2014 offseason :D

Pretty sure you have to land on the opposite foot you jumped off of for it to be not a travel. If you land on the foot you left the ground with first, it is a travel.

Rose definitely traveled there. Its a difficult call to make so I am sure people dont bother risking calling it and getting it wrong (similar to traveling the conventional way).

No. If you don't land with both feet at once, it's a travel.

And of course you have to land on the opposite foot you jumped from.....think about that one a second. Huge jump off left foot, then land on the same foot? WTF

Looks like he landed both feet at once. No travel whatsoever.
