Around the NBA - summer edition (1 Viewer)

Heard on radio that Monroe is reportedly willing to take a 1yr QO from the Pistons to become unrestricted next summer. Wow. Leaving potentially a ton of money on the table to get a max next season.

When was the last time a first round did this from a rookie deal? Ben Gordon? And it actually cost him money.

Wonder if Bledsoe will do the same.

Anyone know why sometimes images are just grey boxes?

try right clicking to bring up the option to "option image in new tab/window" or something like that.

That's one of the most iconic plays of my childhood. I was practicing crossover stepbacks at the park daily after seeing that.

Poor Tyronn

Summer is a time to tackle those big projects that have been bugging you all winter, and Sim Bhullar may be the biggest project of them all. The freshly signed Sacramento Kings center stands 7-foot-5, which would add "tallest active NBA player" to a résumé that now reads "the league's first player of Indian descent" ... if he makes the roster.

I'm a fan of sim Bhullar. Not that great, but boy does he have an impressive body. Dude is a skyscraper.

 

[Minstrel]

Unlike most other freakishly tall basketball players, like Shawn Bradley and Manute Bol and all, Bhullar actually has a really big frame...he's not a telephone pole. Size-wise, he's like Shaquille O'Neal scaled up a bit.

Should be interesting if he actually gets any NBA play time.

Thanks Fonz... now I got that song stuck in my head.

I watched that whole video thinking it would eventually be something funny. I want my 4 minutes back!

I can't help that you didn't piece together that:

A) the conversation said song

and

B) That it's Demi Lovato. And there ain't nothin funny about Demi Lovato.

Im on my phone so it didnt show me the title of the song and I figured the writing underneath would be the funny part not that it would just be lyrics but I did watch it not taking into account the context it was posted for.

Fair enough. You are okay in my book. Just don't let it happen again! :MARIS61:

 

[PDXFonz]

I've literally never even heard of that song.

 

[jlprk]

House of the Rising Sun?

House of the Rising Sun?

Burning down the house?

I wonder if they will try to trade him to the east. He will want to come back to haunt them. I would not move him to a competitor unless the player coming back was really good.

This works! LOL: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=my7dlku

Might be the first trade I've seen where "nobody wins"

Seems to me it would actually make both teams better.

That actually makes sense for both teams. Don't see it happening though because i'm not sure if Detriot would give Bledsoe a massive contract.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Suns make last minute Bledsoe-for-Love offer. Can't blame 'em for trying... But Monroe for Bledsoe is just destined to happen.

 

[PDXFonz]

Minnesota is going to be a hardcore fringe team for the next 5 years.

Id laugh that offer off. Its nowhere near as good as clevelands.

And it makes sense. I said they should make that trade months and months ago.

Unless they like Plumlee and Len better. (along with the Morris twins) How healthy is Len these days?

The thing about Phoenix is that their bigs all hustled on D. Hornacek had them all buying into his system. I wonder if they really want to add a big contract when they don't have to.

Wiggins could be huge for them

Charley Walters: Ex-Gopher Joel Przybilla from Monticello retires after making nearly $45 million over 15 seasons in NBA, residing near Milwaukee. Twitter




That is only 3 million a year, but good for Joel lasting 15 years.
