"Official" Around the NBA January 2015 (1 Viewer)

Well the good thing about the game 1 blow out is it will be done early. We get to watch the entire game!

 

[magnifier661]

Barkley says the rockets have no chance to win the NBA championship, and clutch fans go nuts!

They really don't. Their style of basketball doesn't win championships.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damian in the state farm commercial? Lol

Love it

So, you saw it coming even before they released Smith. You knew they were going to release him, go on a 7-game winning streak and make the playoffs. That's impressive.

Would you mind sharing the next PowerBall numbers?

It was pretty obvious to people who know the game. Like me.

 

[PDXFonz]

Man everybody on the east has probably turned their TV off by now. Nobody is going to be watching us...

 

[PDXFonz]

This is ridiculous...

 

[BrianFromWA]

We don't have space, but Wolters is another one of those guys who intrigues me.

Since MM's not around...

White. American. High School. Center.

Wolters would be a great 3rd PG.

He's shown flashes in the NBA.

 

[KingSpeed]

I would love Wolters. We desperately need a third PG. Right now, we'd be screwed if Blake or Dame got hurt.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I would like to get Matthew Dellavedova just so we can here is name said more.

"According to sources, the 7-foot-1 former NBA basketball player and 28-year-old Carlos Abraham Anderson of Everett put masks over their faces and attempted to rob a home in broad daylight. Witnesses notified the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office."

Another criminal "mastermind". He's a 7'1" ginger covered from head to toe in tattoos who robbed a house in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses. Did he really think wearing a mask over his face would be sufficient to keep someone from picking him out of a lineup?

Swift was admittedly high on heroin at the time - not much thinking being done.

In other news, Houston just signed him, saying, "fuck it, why not?"

And the fans would defend the signing as "well if it doesn't work then you can just release him"

"Look, he's obviously great on the break and getting steals!"

Hey, they both share the commonality of wanting something for nothing!

The Sixers had agreed to release Andrei Kirilenko, but did not follow through on that handshake deal, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer....So if he does get bought out should the Blazers be interested?

We already have a better version of him
His name is Nicolas Batum.

 

[Draco]

Obviously AK would be a backup.

I'd say no as we have solid wind defense with good defensive backups. If we brought in a wing I think we'd want one such as Jeff Green or Wilson Chandler that can create his own shot.

It seems like Neil and Terry really value continuity and familiarity. That makes it unlikely we sign or trade for anyone during the season.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Wolters played well last year when given real minutes. The Bucks are looking for a trade rather than waiving the guard.

Kidd never gave him a chance.

He's a talent and came into the draft with Lillard-like shooting numbers but that hasn't translated yet. He had one bad year at SDSU from three but always shot in the 38-40% range.

Claver for Wolters seems like a decent gamble.

I'd much rather part with Barton.

Boston Celtics president Danny Ainge has informed the 6-10 center that he's on the block and should expect to be on another team. That's why Wright had a head-scratching DNP this week on a team that could use his skill set.

Any interest?

I used to be such a fan of Wright when he came in. He has the frame of Aldridge but was more raw. If Aldridge could put this guy under his wing and work with him in the off seasons, wright could be a solid player.

But the reality is... We need a wing. Unless trading him would involve only T. Rob and Claver, then it really doesn't make much sense. Would Boston even be up for that trade, knowing the restriction of resigning t-rob could limit them from keeping him?

Has Kirilenko played 1 minute of decent basketball in the last 4 years?

The only reason teams are signing him is in hopes that his wife will attend the games.

4 year ago, he was playing in Russia and supposedly playing well. He was actually pretty good in Minnesota during the 2012-13 season (started 64 games, played about 32 MPG with a PER = 17.4). His performance and production fell off last season in BRK, and this year he's barely played (and sucked when he did).

Jeff Green to Memphis next?

 

[Rhal]

Good move by Pheonix. Len is looking good but still a year or two away and they will have capspace this summer if they lose Dragic to resign Wright if they want.

 

[PDXFonz]

Oh shit.

That would be a GREAT move for Memphis.

 

[THE HCP]

Damn! Nice pickup by Memphis if that happens. Love Green's game.
