With Wes going, if LMA goes, we'll have no players or (I think) staff left who worked with Brandon Roy or Greg Oden.

Good... spirits be gone.

Burn the Moda center and the practice facility down to the ground as well, just for good measure. Exercise the demons.

 

[santeesioux]

The Lakers are going to trade Kobe here for LMA, then you can all run out and buy your Kobe Blazer jerseys.

 

[0-Our!]

If McBob and CHalmers could be traded for draft picks, then the Heat would do it first.

How can u b so sure of that?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Should we start taking bets on what hour (or what day even) a decision is finally made? I didn't think it would happen yesterday but I surely thought today would bring clarity.

Should've had a forum pool!!

and Biebs and Dame become our longest tenured guys ...

I'd love a forum pool to help cool off from this hot weather. As long as sly and Wookee aren't in there getting it all hairy and peeing in it.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Already said--Deng, Chalmers, Winslow. That gives us a very deep, (mostly) young, talented, flexible roster.

as an added bonus we'd get to hear LMA say...
"I'm taking my talents to South Beach!"

I could use a refreshing pool dip right now!

I'm standing by my Monday prediction.

I'll take Monday afternoon before 4pm.

It didn't come from LMA UNLESS... the quote was: "U know, I'm taking [u know] my talents [u know] to South Beach! U know!"

 

[Sedatedfork]

This all happening so fast. He says he wants to see other people? We must be too fat and let ourselves go.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

A reminder: Aldridge and Bosh are both from Dallas, and Aldridge has talked about working out with Bosh from way back.

Bosh, Wade, Aldridge would be a helluva trio

 

[Wizard Mentor]

On a slightly more serious note, I'm rooting for Miami. If we get Winslow, and then go out and get DeRozan, we're a pretty exciting team.

 

[PDXFonz]

If he leaves Portland the Spurs are the last team I want to see him go to because they have the least appealing S&T pieces in my opinion.

Plus it moves him east after he successfully weakened the west.

3 team deal...?

But we would get to boo his pansy ass only once a year!

Truly, this is the end of an era.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I think Miami would need to hold on to Deng, but it would be hard for them to come up with salaries if they do. Chalmers, Bird, Haslem, McRoberts and Granger?

Damnit, now I've got hopes and dreams again, ready to be squashed again.

 

[Darkwebs]

A reminder: Aldridge and Bosh are both from Dallas, and Aldridge has talked about working out with Bosh from way back.

I hope LMA chooses the Heat and forces them to trade us Winslow and whatever salary filler there needs to be.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Imagine the pent up energy we'd blow by booing his ass only once a year... It'd be like

Even worse, there wouldn't likely be a S&T with SAS. They have the cap room now I am pretty sure and our team despises them and wouldn't help Aldridge get there.

 

[ThugginPaulyGAllen]

Glad you're not the GM

If I were the GM we wouldn't be going through this shit with princess Marshmellow.

I would've taken the Bulls godfather offer a couple years ago for this chump.

 

[magnifier661]

So what if they sent us whiteside, chalmers, mcbob, Anderson and windslow? We can release Anderson the moment he arrives.

 

[stampedehero]

Now as of this date the Lakers will have another interview with LA. I hope the SOB's Fail .

Then they don't get LMA. Simple as that. This is the one case (and maybe only one) where we really get the set the rules vs the other team.
