About Michael »

Hello, I'm Michael and I am an aspiring journalist, among other things, who is attending a CC at the moment and about to transfer to a nice univ in Burbank. I've spent many years, mainly since I was 12, being a moderator on more than a handful of NBA Message Boards, and have been a moderator on most of of them, namely the InsideHoops forums. Am an avid fan of the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Galaxy, UCLA Bruin Football, UCLA Basketball, Cal State Northridge Basketball, Detroit Red Wings, Atlanta Braves and the Green Bay Packers. Have seen all of those squads live except for the Green Bay Packers. Seen the Clippers play in Arizona, same with UCLA Basketball, Galaxy and the Wings.

Hey Michael

The Raptors have made another move however, I don’t agree with this one!
Here’s my take on the player they should have acquired Jodie Meeks.
Comments and critiques are always welcomed

Hey Michael, I am a big Wizards fan I think they would try to deal their 5th overall pick in the draft. I was wondering, what kind of offers are the Clippers looking for Zack Randolph. Are they looking for expiring contracts, a draft pick or they would take anyone back for him.

Do the Magic consistently make poor trades and get too trigger happy when it comes to releasing their players and trading them? Come read this article about the single baller who got the Lakers back into the game last night, feedback is appreciated.
