Around the NBA: February 2016

[Natebishop3]

Happened a few years back with Tyson chandler joining the Thunder.

Imagine if that trade had gone through.... they were stupid to void that.

 

[chzbrgr]

does this mean that Montejunas' back is really fucked up? Cause sounds to me like it might have been one of those deals where Detroit says yes pending a physical and Montejunas couldnt pass.

 

[B-Roy]

They ended up trading for Perk a bit later. I remember everyone groaning about how they avoided Chandler and got someone even better.

Then Perk happened....lol.

His back has to be REALLY bad as DET knew of his back problems and still wanted him. So he likely didn't just fail. He likely bombed it.

 

[B-Roy]

Detroit asked for a 24 hour extension on evaluating his back.

Then voided it half a day later.

Does not look good for D-Mo.

So they'll be bringing back a couple of pissed off players to an already toxic locker room, Morey is not a chemistry major!

Do you think Morey will finally be fired if they miss the play0ffs?

Yes. His experiment has not worked.

classic Daryl Morey fucker tried to sneak one past SVG Im sure that did not go over well around league front offices

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He failed his Physical.

So did the cast of Armageddon but they still destroyed the asteroid and saved the world!

 

[Spud147]

After whining for years that we took CJ instead of Steven Adams, and gradually realizing that CJ is a better and more valuable player, I now have a new reason to regret us not taking Adams:

Old people check here... who remembers Snidely Whiplash from the Wacky Racers?

Didn't it also happen with Detroit (again) previously with Sean Elliott?

 

[B-Roy]

Yep, that's a good example too.

 

[illmatic99]

I bet Marcus Thornton loves the idea of being back in HOU after his team traded him away.

think we had to payoff minnesota over martell webster's back in the babbit trade. $1.5 million for non disclosure of injury

He's shaved off his mustache and is running for president under the pseudonym "Ted Cruz".

Yep. I was trying to think of who that was. Thanks. I didn't have to look it up.

 

[Draco]

So glad that happened. Screw the Rockets. Screw Morey treating players like a variable in a math problem.

Also heard on podcast today it was Harden that went to management and said fire McHale. They did it. Dwight is pissed because he liked McHale and is being painted as a coach killer. Teammates hate Hardens defense.

So my favorite team to hate.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I've never seen eyebrows working so hard to make up for the soullessness of the eyes beneath them.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

*does the dog's laugh*

He has a name! And it's Muttley.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I've never seen eyebrows working so hard to make up for the soullessness of the eyes beneath them.

For God's sake DON'T LOOK INTO THEM!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He has a name! And it's Muttley.

Actually we're getting confused! Snidely Whiplash was on Dudley Do-Right.

We've been talking about Dick Dastardly. OF COURSE.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Snidely Whiplash:

Dastardly and Muttley:

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He has a name! And it's Muttley.

I couldn't remember it.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Morey tried to be slick and deal damaged goods.

Like Ainge, nobody is going to want to deal with him.

 

[BBert]

Old people check here... who remembers Snidely Whiplash from the Wacky Racers?

I don know what Wacky Racers is, but I thought Snidely Whiplash was the villain to Dudley Doright?

 

[BBert]

That never made sense to me, since even we all knew he had a bad back.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The Hawks ball movement from last season is dead, wonder if they just tuned out coach.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Morey tried to be slick and deal damaged goods.

Like Ainge, nobody is going to want to deal with him.

OTOH, I think GMs like dealing with Neil. He just got 2 teams out of the luxury tax. At least one of them would have been the repeater tax.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Oh shit Hawks making a come back!
