I think the most hilarious part that is missed about Lebron's contraction talk, is that if he really wanted more talent dispersed around the league, why didn't he just sign with the Timberwolves? Or you know, stuck with Cleveland? Instead he joined forces with two other all-stars. He was in the position to solve some of the talent discrepancy around the league, but chose not to.

Also, if any NBA owner or front-office person talked about contraction (because it relates to current CBA negotiations), they'd get fined several hundred thousand by the league. Why not Lebron?
 
Nets Hope To Sell Carmelo On Future By Landing Miller

RealGM said:
The Nets are hoping to sell Carmelo Anthony on their future by also acquiring Andre Miller, one of his former teammates.

New Jersey has continued talks with Portland and Denver about the possibility of adding Miller in a multi-team trade that would land them Anthony, according to a league source.

Anthony and Miller were teammates with the Nuggets from 2003-06 and played well together.

While Anthony would like the idea of playing with Miller, sources indicate that New Jersey would have to acquire another quality player for him to serious consider signing a contract extension.

Under one scenario, Denver would receive Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy and two first-round picks. In another, Portland would receive Devin Harris from New Jersey.

You didn't understand what he said. He wants more stronger teams. If for instance, NJ disappears, then Brook Lopez and Harris can team up with, say, Wall & Blatche.

Fuck LeBron anyway. Hate him since he gets away with his stupid crab dribble, even before Jalen Rose pointed it out.

Not to be a contrarian, but regarding contraction LeBron has the same idea that a lot of people here have and to be honest its the right idea. The NBA would be better with fewer teams, thats a fact. This happened in soccer in the 90's where 4 teams per division were cut and it made the whole league a lot more competitive.

But he named names.

It's one thing, to speak about, but publicly naming the teams you'd like to see contracted was way over the line.
 
Beast Griffin did it better.

I still lol@ the people who had Wall over him for RoTY early on.

It's like people forgot, after a single year of absence, that this dude was a monster in college.

More like he plays for the Clippers and every day that he puts on that jersey he inches toward disaster.

How many people actually thought Griffin would have missed zero games through December?
 
Come on now, the last thing LeBron wants is more strong teams in the league, which would lower his chances at getting a ring. He didn't go to MIA because of a competitive nature.

Griff hasn't been injury prone throughout his years from what I can gather. A fluke injury is a fluke injury. It was pretty obvious to me he was going to bounce back.

That being said, Griff will eventually succumb to the Clippers curse again sooner or later though, that much is true unfortunately...

And did no one stop to think... maybe the Washington curse is stronger than the Clippers curse? I'm beginning to believe.

heh. I thought I was alone in thinking Wall wasn't as great as people hype him up to be.

I do think he will be an allstar eventually though, but I don't think he will be taking over the league like so many people have been saying. I'm not seeing that at all. I've never seen that to be honest.

No way, man. Go check out JR's again. The degree of difficulty was through the roof.

He literally spun around Duncan, avoiding a charge call, and throwing it up just before he fell behind the backboard.

Not to say B-Griff's move wasn't impressive coming from a 6'10" 250 lb guy, but JR gets difficulty+style points.
 
Evan Turner versus Gordon Hayward watch back on! Hayward doubled his PER from 2.5 to 5.0 with a great fourth quarter against Minnesota whereas Turner's fell to 7.9. Can Hayward catch Turner? We shall see!

Well to be fair, that wasn't his fault, it was Mike Browns. Amirite Tripl... err I mean Pheeniks?

I feel you.

There's a few things I like about Griff's. Humor me. I'm just having fun with it.

- - Coming from a much wider angle than JR's. Off one bounce, one step. Matrix unlocked:
bg00.jpg


- The lift off. Look at where he takes off:
bg2.jpg


- Concentration. He gets fouled before he was off the ground, with his back still to the basket:
BG1.jpg


- Has to reacquire the basket:
bg3.jpg


By the time he gets around, he's in an awkward position....
bg6.jpg


...and it's too late to finish with the left. Does he look worried?
bg7.jpg


- Look how close he is, when he readjusts to the right hand. The three men behind him are in awe, one already having palpitations:
bg9.jpg


- Another angle:
bg12.jpg


- He gets it off JUST in time, ref ready to jizz in his pants:
bg11.jpg


- Everyone was frozen in their shoes:
bg14.jpg


- They all realize what they just witnessed. Ref loses his composure for a second, as he calls the And 1. Are refs supposed to scream "YES!" after a bucket? He did. :lol :
bg10.jpg

lol can't kill the ref on that, to ref a sport you have to love the sport, and if you really love the sport there's no way you don't react to something awesome like that
 
Ok, K.Jack. You win. :lol Give this guy the Oscar already. :lol :lol

Branduil said:
Why would he be T'd for a good hustle play?
Click to expand...

Depends on the refs. If one of them determined it to be unsportsmanlike conduct (the fact that threw it off Quinn's head), he could easily have gotten T'd up.

I swear when it comes to Lebron, I feel like the majority of NBA fans are newborn kittens with the eyes just now opening.

I've been saying this stuff about Lebron for YEARS.

I guess in the past, the Cleveland organization/local media and ESPN have done a good job of concealing his narcissism. But "The Decision" pissed off Cleveland fans and made it impossible for ESPN to hide Lebron's out of control narcissism.

Yet the LeEgo train keeps on rolling. It takes a special kind of ego and delusion to celebrate a 26th birthday over a period of 4 months. It's like the Mad-Hatter celebrating his Un-birthday in wonderland.

I will vomit my Christmas dinner if ABC uses "humble" and "Lebron" in the same sentence.

As for contraction, naming names for someone in his position is just classless. Also, in the past decade, we've had 5 different teams win the championship, which is more than the 80s and equal to the 90s. And the 90s had 2 three peats, a back-to-back, and a lock-out season. Things have definitely been more up for grabs in the '00s. It's just we have more bottom-dwellers and teams tanking earlier in the season for draft picks.

There's really only a couple of perennial bad teams and it's mostly due to poor management. For everybody else, it's just the cycle. You have some good years and you have some bad and rebuilding years. During the good years you try to snag a championship or at the very least make the team marketable for merchandizing and attendance.

The talent is spread a bit thin, but I partially blame it on the influx of under-developed talent into the NBA. Yes, sometimes the top 1-3 picks are good enough to go straight to the NBA from high school/one year of college. But the rest could really benefit from 3-4 years of college ball to refine their skills. It's the weak drafts that are hurting the NBA more than the expansion teams. I guess they need to decide whether to improve the draft or contract the league to compensate for the weak draft.

Notice it takes him through the place he thinks isn't deserving of NBA basketball. Which isn't a city, by the way, Bron.
