I would not be shocked if he made the team and am rooting for my fellow Muncie dweller. Have not heard any crazy stories about him lately and only good things with his work with local basketball.

Nets announce they have waived Travis Outlaw with amnesty.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Sounds like the Knicks are going to sign T-Law.

 

[huevonkiller]

Douchebag through a tantrum to get out of New Orleans.

I'm glad he's not going to the Lakers but hate that he got his way.

With his bad knee I can't blame the guy.

I think Stern did a good job in the trade.

"He could start for us on Christmas Day," said Brown, who first met McRoberts at Carmel High School in Indiana, when Brown was an assistant coach at Indiana University. "Who knows what will happen? But he's a young guy that in my opinion has established himself as an NBA player. Not quite a starter, but definitely a rotation player."

This is due to the fact that Bynum is suspended for the first give games.

McRoberts will start for the L.A. Lakers. Say that out loud. Feels good doesn't it?

Josh Howard lands in Utah.

I think it's incredibly awesome that because of the lockout shortened season, those five games are really more like 6 or 7 (as a percentage of the year)

Wow, BRoy and his bff both amnestied on the same day. Who'da thunk it?

good point!

Josh Howard lands in Utah.

I find that a strange signing for Utah, given Howard's past a bunch of youg players on the team and . . . well it is Salt Lake City, not exactly home for the bad boys.

But overall he improves that roster. Harris, Milsap, Howard, Okur and some of those young players. Never know in this crazy shorten season.

Appearing on SportsCenter, Smith said “I predicted that Kobe Bryant will demand a trade, and I am not budging from that. He’s livid. I’ve known Kobe too long. He is ticked off.

“It’s not just because [the Clippers] got Chris Paul, which is a guy that he expected to have. It’s because Jim Buss seems to be doing the inexplicable,” Smith said. “It makes no sense. It’s one thing for the team not to have improved [after losing to the Mavericks], it’s another thing entirely for them to regress. If you know anything about Kobe, that is the last thing that he wants to do.

“It will not be pleasant at all.”

Reporter Ric Bucher said he would not be surprised if Kobe demands a trade. He added that a GM figured Kobe would demand a trade within a month.

He's a smart dude.

Steven A.

We got Craig Smith though!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kobe is 33 and has over 40,000 minutes under his belt. Just how much does he have left in his tank?

Maybe Chicago?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Amnesty Kobe! The bidding war would pay for most of his salary!

 

[RR7]

Amnesty Kobe! The bidding war would pay for most of his salary!

And, he'd likely end up in like Sacramento, as the only team with major cap space.

That's got sexy written all over it. Problem is, they would probably get a damn good player (s) in return.

that would be funny as hell

YIKES! Can you imagine the freak out and shit storm around here if we had signed him with everything that has gone on with our players????

And said bullet will hit one of the new guys when they show up for the fanfest tonight!

Rudy is now a defensive specialist apparently

The Nuggets remain "very optimistic" they will re-sign Arron Afflalo, team executive Masai Ujiri said Thursday. But whether last year's starting shooting guard returns or not, Fernandez will be a key to their fortunes with his 3 and "D." Denver Post

Rudy is now a defensive specialist apparently

I think they refer to him as 3D - because like a 3D television, without glasses he is useless.
