Oakley in that article still looks like he could beat the hell out of a guy 20 years his junior.

How does he look like he could beat the hell out of guy 20 years younger than him in that photo when you can basically only see his face in the picture? Not only that but he doesn't even have an angry or intimidating expression. You can barely see any of his body, he has a normal, blank expression and he has a head full of grey hair, but oh yea he just looks like he could destroy anyone in that picture.

Doc will now be coaching his son.

Won't matter. He's not going to see the floor on that team.

Hornets eye Stephenson trade to Nets

The Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets and Oklahoma City Thunder are involved in discussions about a three-way trade that would send Brooklyn playground legend Lance Stephenson to his hometown team, according to league sources.

Stephenson, a poor fit since signing in Charlotte this past summer, would join the Nets, while Brooklyn center Brook Lopez would be moved to Oklahoma City, sources said. Charlotte would receive Jarrett Jack from Brooklyn and Jeremy Lamb and Grant Jerrett from Oklahoma City.

Other pieces might be included to make the deal work financially.

Sources confirmed a USA Today report that Oklahoma City center Kendrick Perkins could go to the Nets in a potential deal. In earlier trade discussions, the Nets and Thunder had talked about a potential deal involving Lopez and Perkins, among other players, according to sources.

The Hornets, who have been trying to move Stephenson for more than a month, want to make the deal, and Oklahoma City has agreed as well, leaving the Nets as the only holdout, according to sources.

Brooklyn also has had trade talks with the Miami Heat about Lopez, sources said.

The Nets made it known to other teams in early December that Lopez, point guard Deron Williams and swingman Joe Johnson were available via trade, and they recently had talks with the Sacramento Kings about Williams, according to sources.

The Nets (16-23) have lost seven straight games, and general manager Billy King has been active in looking to shake things up.

Lopez, 26, is averaging 14.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game with 50.4 percent shooting. He has been coming off the bench recently. He will make $15.7 million this season and has a $16.7 million player option for 2015-16. Lopez, the longest-tenured member of the Nets, has a history of foot injuries.

Stephenson, 24, returned to Charlotte's lineup Wednesday after missing 14 straight games due to a pelvic strain. He signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Hornets in the offseason but is shooting just 38.6 percent from the field.

Stephenson starred at Lincoln High School in Brooklyn. He has had a history of off-court trouble and has been criticized for some of his on-court attics, which included blowing in LeBron James' ear during last season's Eastern Conference finals.

Hornets are out.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I don't think he is coming back or signing with them. That's why they got J.R. Smith. I hope that the Bulls have a shot.

LeBron James met with Ray Allen

CLEVELAND -- While the principal reason LeBron James visited Miami during his recent two-week rest period was to seek out warmer weather while he rehabbed strains in his left knee and lower back, he also had another item on his agenda.

During James' Miami jaunt, the four-time MVP met with free-agent guard and former Miami Heat teammate Ray Allen to try to appeal to the league's all-time leader in 3-pointers again about joining the Cavs this season, multiple sources told ESPN.com.

ESPN Radio's Ryen Russillo reported last month that Allen's message to teams inquiring for his services earlier in the season was to check back with him in January and he would make his decision to return or not -- and which team to join if he did opt for season No. 19 -- in February.

Apart from James' face-to-face meeting with Allen, several other members of the Cavs have kept in contact with the shooting guard this season -- James Jones and Mike Miller, who also were Allen's teammates in Miami, as well as associate head coach Tyronn Lue, who was an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics when Allen played there.

Allen also vacationed with Jones and James this summer when they all visited the Bahamas together along with their families.

The 39-year-old hinted this week that a return could be in the cards, telling the Sun-Sentinel, "At my age, I need to stay in shape," when asked about a potential comeback.

The Cavs have 14 players on their roster with one slot open should they choose to sign Allen.

Going into Wednesday, Cleveland was tied for 17th in 3-point field goal percentage (.347) and 11th in 3-pointers made per game (8.3). The Cavs shot 5-for-24 (20.8 percent) from 3 in their 106-92 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

Allen played 73 games for the Heat in the regular season and all 20 postseason games last season. He averaged 9.3 points per game on 41 percent shooting in the playoffs.

D-League teammates fight each other

Iowa Energy teammates Jarnell Stokes and Kalin Lucas were both ejected during an NBA Developmental League game Tuesday night for fighting -- with each other.

It is unknown as to what caused the incident, but punches were thrown after both players started pushing each other during a timeout in the third quarter of the Energy's 124-120 victory against Rio Grande Valley.

Teammates and coaches quickly surrounded and tried to separate both players, who were then escorted to the locker room and did not return. Referees ejected both players after checking a replay of the incident.

Stokes, a forward, is averaging 14.1 points and 8.6 rebounds for the Memphis Grizzlies affiliate, and has seen action in 16 NBA games this season. Lucas, a guard who was selected in the second round of last year's draft by the Grizzlies, is averaging 16.5 points and 4.9 assists for the Energy this season.

Kyrie dropped 55 points! Next highest was Mozgof with 12!!

Didn't realize but he's only 22. Younger than McDermott.

Kevin Love looks so bad out there right now

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

He doesn't fit with that team. He is a third option. They only want him to spot and shoot threes but actually a lot of his flaws are being exposed also. He has difficulty creating his own shot and he not much of post player. He is also a weak defender. He is still a good player but not an elite player.

Bosh could post up and wasn't the worst defender in the NBA.

He's no Marshmelo!!!!

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

All of these things describe Chris Bosh on the heat. Love will be fine in Cleveland.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

He's no Marshmelo!!!!

Love is actually worse than Marshmelo.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.
