The Official Around The NBA Thread.... June

[BonesJones]

As the fake sports two GM of both of these franchises, I concur. This makes absolutely no sense for the Hornets.

You should be made to make this trade lmao.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why does CHA do this? Dwight was actually pretty good for them. They could have just let his contract expire.

WTF is with Kupchak's fascination of Mozgov?

All about that 45th pick man

 

[riverman]

Could Denny provide some kind of middle finger thing we could click on instead of "like"?

He has...its called the OT section

 

[Blazinaway]

If Mozgov has this kind of value, we seriously need to consider options to get rid of Turner/Leonard. Especially if it only takes two future second round picks, AND we get back a contributing expiring deal in return?

from what I've read DH was a big locker room problem, seems like Char was desperate to move him and not pay tax this yr, it certainly cost them to do that

Jokes aren't allowed here.

I've been asking for "dislike" button ever since the "like" showed up.

Luxury tax implications. They had to do it or else they'd be into luxury tax while having a crap team.

 

[Sarni]

People on Twitter trying to rationalize this as CHA's attempt to duck tax this year. This can't be the only way to do that, surely. They just took on another year of Mozgov

The other way to do that would be to offer #11 pick along with some other crap player.

Nobody is taking anyone else.

Nick Young's thrilled marijuana is becoming legal across the country ... but he's already onto the next issue -- COKE!!!

So in exchange of paying about 7 mil in tax this year, they're gonna pay Mozgov another 17 mil in 2019. Seems smart.

I personally believe all drugs should be decriminalized.

That's a bit different than "everybody needs to do cocaine."

Just a bit.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

If you want to hang out, you've gotta take her out, cocaine
If you want to get down, get down on the ground, cocaine

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie,
Cocaine

If you got that lose, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done, and you want to ride on cocaine

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Just a bit.

Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin' through my mind) And all the while I think of you
(High fry) A very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin' your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, that they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound, costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white line, go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin' to gain, except killin' your brain
Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang…

Dwight Howard is a horrible teammate. This past season while in Charlotte.....chatting with Batum. Asking him how the season was going and he just shook his head. Said playing with him is impossible. If you don’t give him the ball when he wants it, he’ll literally yell at you on the court that he isn’t going to pass to you for the rest of the game. Scream at teammates and coaches in the locker room. Said it was a battle day in and day out dealing with him.

I always liked The Indecision more than The Dwightmare, but reading that makes me think the latter is more appropriate.

Thought Nic and Dwight were boys through that Adidas connection. Didn't they do some promo in Paris together a while back? Interesting insight.

Superman headed to his 4th team in 4 years, and it's not like he's been unproductive. He's been top 5 in rebounding each of the last three seasons, and yet the team he played for in each of those seasons couldn't wait to get rid of him. He was also top 10 in blocks and averaged 16.6 ppg this past season. On paper, he had a better season than Nurk, but he just go traded for a guy who may be the only player in the league who is both worse than Meyers Leonard AND has a worse contract.

Mozgov has been traded twice in less than 2 years since signing that ridiculous $64 million contract during the summer of 2016. Gives me hope that Meyers and ET may actually be movable.

BNM

They might have. I was blown away when he told me that. Just always has a smile on his face. But Nic said he was ridiculous out there.

I doubt Dwight was screaming at the promo people in Paris like during a game haha

Said he really misses our crowd too.
