Shit just got real.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's ridiculous how LA is able to keep acquiring superstar talent.

 

[huevonkiller]

Boston fans need to stop complaining, that QB from Alabama especially.... Lol.

Yeah that kid used to post here. He's a decent reporter but doesn't know jack about sports though (the story might indeed be accurate, FWIW). Funny kid.

 

[santeesioux]

Why would the Magic do a Laker trade that didn't involve them getting Bynum back?

 

[MickZagger]

Nash throwing lobs to Howard could be nastyyy....

 

[RR7]

They'd be back in this spot next season, with a C leaving them.

Kennedy was an S2 poster?

Houston is willing to gamble on a rental player, Orlando seems less eager. I think that is a large component.

Before it was S2, it was JBB. Yeah he used to post here as "Swish", the kid made some funny posts and was cool mostly. Although I feel he doesn't understand some of the nuances of basketball.

Shapecity got him media credentials, IIRC.

Huevon comes out of the woodwork as he gets insecure about the Lakers posing their own superteam...Uh-oh. Has the Miami reign already come to an abrupt end?

 

[MickZagger]

Miami just signed Rashard Lewis according to Rick Kamla.

Nah, he'll just go back to being a Laker fan again.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I love Dwight going to LA. It fucks up OKC, or whatnot.

 

[huevonkiller]

I sure would, when LeBron gets rich enough to buy the team after he retires.

Meh, an ok signing. I think we need another taller PF that can defend, and maybe another defensive wing-player.

Pitt might be a decent prospect, and the sixers pick is more trade bait.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ronny Brewer is now a FA. I'm kind of interested - he's a top tier defender.

Meh. You hate the idea of Williams. But, you like Brewer?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yes. One was a key player on the team with the best record in the NBA, and the other was a useless tweener. What's so hard?

 

[MickZagger]

Brewer was a key player on the Bulls?

He's a good defender. Inept offensively.

This team needs guys who can put the ball through the hole and have a future with some upside. Veterans to fill out the roster doesn't make sense, this team isn't going to be a playoff team.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Bulls are starved for a SG and Brewer was barely a blip.

 

[RR7]

Minnesota's newest signing, on the right.

Kind of surprising how many minutes he played for them, then.

The Jazz letting Brewer go was one of the reasons D-Will finally gave up on them.

Shved got braids? Awesome.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So he does one thing well, then. That's one more thing than Williams does well

This team needs guys who can put the ball through the hole

No, it needs players that make the team win. You know, like the Bulls did. Remember, they still won at a better clip than us without Derek Rose.

and have a future with some upside.

Ah yes, the "upside" stat. How is that measured again?

Veterans to fill out the roster doesn't make sense, this team isn't going to be a playoff team.

Certainly not with that attitude.

What we need is to follow the Knicks model of stockpiling gunners, cuz, y'know, that works really well.

 

[MickZagger]

^ Your player evaluations are always so far off from mine it drives me silly.

Derrick Williams is a gunner....lol

 

[MickZagger]

Brush up on your Derrick Williams knowledge.

Here's a video. Its even in Espanol for you.

[HailBlazers]

Call BS

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ooh, YouTube videos! The best way to tell if a player is good!
