E'Twaun just headed up the stairs and, presumably, out of the arena.

Hope this means the deal is done and not in trouble.

@awexler

Contract issue w/E.Moore: becomes fully g'teed if not waived by day of team's last SL game. HOU done; BOS not. Is he NG'd or not?

Don't think the deal is going to get done unless C. Lee takes even less money.

edit: wait, didn't Boston play in the Orlando Summer League?

 

[masud]

... sucky ones?

You really want to have a discussion about sucky guards?

i would love to?

 

[masud]

Portland Felton would be the best guard on your squad bro.

 

[diehard]

Portland Felton would be the best guard on your squad bro.

bwahahaha ok

then again.. he is responsible for at least 2 Jazz wins last season.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Portland Felton would be the best guard on your squad bro.

Other than every single thing relating to basketball and probably life in general, he might be better than Hayward, it's true.

 

[etiolate]

I thought TRobb was more explosive than this. This is D-League talent and he's laying it up like a guard. I expected him to rise up and dunk on people.

 

[ActStriker]

edit: wait, didn't Boston play in the Orlando Summer League?

Yes but they're in Vegas now playing more summer ball

 

[charsace]

TRobb is playing without a name or number on his jersey. Odd.

The way he's been playing...

And good to hear Felton doesn't look bad.

 

[masud]

New York Felton would be the 2nd best Utah gaurd since Stockton.

 

[diehard]

i expected better trolling than that

 

[Matrix]

Did the Rockets get another PF in the Lee deal? lol

wut the fudge

 

[masud]

I'm playing down to the competition...

Don't expect JaJuan Johnson to play a game for the #rockets, according to a source he will request a trade

Who does he think he is? Dwight Howard?

 

[squicken]

They got a few guys and a pick, but I guess there's some holdup b/c one of the guys is a non-guaranteed deal. I don't know who any of these guys are but I can't imagine the PF coming back would be part of their plans

lol I guesss that makes sense to want a trade. He'd just got lost in the maelstrom at camp

 

[darkside31337]

The guy would be lucky to play a game for anybody.

 

[marathonfool]

Damn, Lillard is a beast.

This whole thing is hilarious.

Like having another pick though.

Damn, Lillard is a beast.

Leonard looking more active without the flu.

 

[NervousXtian]

Damn, Lillard is a beast.

T-minus 5 minutes until Charace comes in with Jarred Bayless 30pts in SL BS.

Lillard has looked legit. Has a nice job, can get to the rim and has his passing seems legit... he assist totals look like garbage.. but I blame Babbitt for not being able to hit wide-open 3's.


side note.. why is Elliot playing in the SL? Is he still injured?

Yeah he's not quite 100%/cleared for contact.


Lillard's best asset is his ability to change speeds. His passing is legit, too.

 

[marathonfool]

Holy shit. That was Westbrook/Rose on the slam by Lillard.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Grantland with a nice piece on the new look Rockets.

Dat Shadow nonsense came to a stop real quick once Ace checked in, lol.

Ace, don't ever leave us while Shadow is around.



Ace pls.

wow, T-ROBB can't score

People want to shit on him for playing at Weber State, but I'll take 3+ years playing some college ball vs 1 year higher level college and 4 years of High School ball.

There's a lot of shit teams out side of the Big Sky conf, and you that extra experience shows when you watch him.

You look at guys like Waiters, Drummond, TRobb and they look raw as hell.. they could use that extra seasoning.. but I don't blame them making the jump.

Waiters played 2 years at Syracuse and Robinson played 3 years at Kansas though.

Bro, he hasn't even played a game and you're already trolling.

Shouldn't you be worried about Mo Williams being your starting PG?

Don't get carried away now.

He'd be in love if his name was David Lillard

Spoiler

and he was white.

Price is on the Blazers now didn't you hear. We got the real one and his twin.

its counteracted by CJ Miles not being our starting 2.

wait so David can't be an african-american name now?

racist.

Y! Sources: As part of 3-way Dwight Howard deal to Lakers, Cleveland wants assurance Bynum would sign extension. http://tinyurl.com/7urjgxu

"Cleveland will only do the deal if Bynum extends," a league official directly involved in the talks told Yahoo! Sports.

Los Angeles wants the structure of a three-team deal agreed in principle before letting Cleveland take that next step to communicate with Bynum and his representatives – and that won’t happen until Orlando makes a decision that it wants to also lock-in the framework of a trade, sources told Y!

So far, Orlando has shown a level of indecisiveness in the talks, sources involved in the negotiations said.

 

[Black Mamba]

wow.

So Orlando has to agree to the deal and then it will be up to Bynum to commit. So a deal is basically set up.

wow.

31 points and 7 assists tonight

Not yet.

There's no trade parameters yet. CLE wants Bynum to agree to an extension before it will discuss parameters . The Lakers want the parameters in place before letting CLE talk to Bynum. And Orlando doesn't know what it wants

Grow a pair Orlando.

 

[reilo]

Orlando should be humbled that such a storied franchise as the Los Angeles Lakers would be happy to take on such a malcontent as Dwight Howard.

Yeah that's what Rudolph has been saying all day. Orlando is inept and they can't decide to trade Dwight or keep him since they think they can convince him to stay :lol.

They need to start actin' right, it's like they've never done this before or something.
