OT- Around the NBA

[Mediocre Man]

Still angry they dealt Bayless

 

[huevonkiller]

The Blazers still have a decent foundation, good luck.

 

[Run BJM]

Didn't know where to put this, and didn't see it anywhere else on this board, but thought it was interesting:

Bob Myers is close to Roy. RT @JohnCanzanoBFT NBA source tells me that had BRoy not "retired" that GSW was poised to claim him off Amnesty

The "Myers is close to Roy" portion is from GSW beat writer Tim Kawakami. Bob Myers is an agent-turned-Assistant GM/heir apparent to GSW GM role. Hes already been fingered as the proponent of the Bogut deal (apparently he has some connection with Bogut) and buying the pick to draft Jeremy Tyler.

Derek Fisher yet to make contact with Houston. And this is the leader of the players' association.

"I haven't seen Derek yet," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "I have not talked to him."

"Not with team" was written next to Fisher's name on the Rockets' roster signed by McHale, who did not know what the team's plans were for Fisher.

"That's not in my job description," McHale said. "He's not here. If he was here he'd play. He's not here. I haven't seen him yet.

Class? LOL!

You guys watching G with the Nets?

Yeah I hope he does well, just not well enough for that team to make the playoffs! LOL

 

[illmatic99]

Looks odd with #45.

[THE HCP]

Just watched him swat the shit out of somebody....... then come down and dribble it off his foot.

[Rastapopoulos]

Bayless with 29 points, 6 assists, 4 steals.... in a loss to the BOBCATS.
Bayless also had 4 turnovers and fouled out. He was -11.
Meanwhile, DJ Augustin had 23 points and 11 assists and was +20.

Basically Bayless is back in Summer League again.

 

[RoyToy]

Basically Cho is a douche for trading him

 

[magnifier661]

And cho gets the last laugh as he watches his terrible team beat him again!

 

[THE HCP]

We could use Bayless beginning next season.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kenneth Faried:

18 pts (5-5 FG)
16 rebs

Fucking Chad.

 

[THE HCP]

I thought everybody on here had a crush on DuJuan Blair? Do we just pick a new player every season to be pissed about us not drafting?

 

[illmatic99]

deja vu, man. WTF did Blake do to deserve this kind of love from his coaches?

Hahahahaha omg that's funny!

Did Mike Brown hire Nate as an assistant?

Yes.

Incidentally, you're wearing a shirt from my hometown. You better represent.

I thought you said he was NOT popular amongst his peers.

Faried is just the latest in a line of excellent power forwards we've passed on that started with Paul Millsap, then DeJuan Blair and finally Faried. I'd love to have any one of those three backing up Aldridge. Blair continues to start on a first place team, has a PER = 16.7, is only 22 years old, and has scored more points and grabbed more rebounds than the three players we drafted instead (Claver, Cunningham and Pendergraph) put together. In other words, we whiffed on Blair three times to take three guys who aren't even on our roster. So yeah, I'd still rather have him than the three stiffs we chose instead.

I don't think Millsap would like being the back-up to Aldridge, but moving Aldridge to center could have moved Millsap to PF. I like that!

Yep, any one of these three would contribute far more than the players we drafed instead.

I used to think it was just KP who didn't like wide body power forwards, but now I think it's our scouting department that severely undervalues these guys.

This guy is unbelievable. I've actually met him briefly and he seems like a nice guy, but he does some arrogant sh*t for someone who is supposed to be the absolute model NBA player. He requested a trade from Golden State because Baron Davis and Monta Ellis were taking his playing time, then was pissed that we sent him to Utah. I don't question the severity of his daughter's health condition but you have to wonder whether he really had to move to L.A.

And now he refuses to report to Houston, and I can only imagine how he'd react if he went back to LA and Sessions started over him.

 

[illmatic99]

News today is that he's gonna get bought out actually, and go to a contender.

He's going to Miami. He wants more rings than Kobe because he thinks he's awesomer!

 

[magnifier661]

Ugg this Miami game is boring! I thought it would be more exciting!

Did you see him on Golden State? He was taking shots like he really did think he was better than Kobe lol.
