You can't tell me what to do.

 

[Darkman M]

Man i warned you guys time and time again about how it goes over there.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I've been banned so many times... funny how each time it has not been on the gaming side.

I agree with this. All 5 of my bans are from the OT. Mods on this side may not be as trigger-happy as on the Gaming side, but they sure are arbitrary with the bans. I think it's easier to avoid a ban on the Gaming side since the obvious bait is obvious. On this side, you have to hope a mod isn't ragging on that specific day, or you're getting a ban. Shit, I got banned because I bumped that old thread someone in here linked to. Ackbar couldn't see that one coming. PEACE.

Just so you guys know, NASA is like the Sony of the OT. You're not allowed to talk shit about it - even if you do bring up multiple valid criticisms.

And never ask for pics. Ever.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Listening to Simmons' podcast, how do the Clippers have an unprotected #1 from the Timberwolves? There are some franchises that should never, under any circumstance, trade a future first round pick.

Glad Donnie rejected that trade, no way is Rudy worth AR.

So now every new Knicks acquisition is untouchable gold?

 

[Gabyskra]

So now every new Knicks acquisition is untouchable gold?

As far as I'm concerned, Randolph is. I'm not sure how many 20 year old interior players have put up the numbers he did last year despite not being played enough (on top of my head, Shaq and Moses Malone crush him, then Garnett was vastly superior in his 2nd yr, Amare too...). He basically is equal to Chris Bosh at the same age. Most valuable trading asset for the Knicks today. Would you deal David Lee for Rudy Fernandez? Nobody would. Azubuike and Turiaf are fodder.

:lol

Have you even seen him play? There is nothing Garnett about the kid. He's got potential, but he's no top tier player buried on the bench. Lee for Rudy? That analogy doesn't even make sense.

It makes sense considering Lee was traded for AR basically.

Where did I say he could be at Garnett's level or play like him?

As for his style of play, he's hard to compare to anyone, I don't think I've ever seen a 6'11" guy with his dribbling skills and athleticism. Odom straight out said watching Randolph felt like looking in a mirror only with jumping ability.

 

[reilo]

Fact: Knicks fans have never seen AR play.

Comparing him to Bosh and shit WTF.

Lee is going to directly compared to Amare for the next few years... I misread that first second sentence though, that shit was put together weird as hell. (He played GREAT not as good as you know... really great players but he played GREAT) :lol

Bosh has always been better though, and if Randolph is lucky he'll be a consistent Odom. Or he can turn into Jonathan Bender Jr.

Marko Jaric + Lionel Chalmers for Cassell + 1st round pick, protected until 2012.



Oh and the gaming side can screw itself.

 

[masud]

For Rudy Fernandez? Yes.

 

[DY_nasty]

For Rudy Fernandez? Yes.

If Rudy was on the Knicks, he'd be the best shooting guard on the roster by far.

 

[reilo]

Plus, AR won't even start for the Knicks. He'd be lucky to sniff 15mpg behind Amare and Gallo.

It sucks because AR's strengths are on the defensive end and its the one thing thats never emphasized in his NBA career.

Well, it looks like the Knicks are still pursing him.

http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/68960/20100903/knicks_remain_interested_in_fernandez/

And damn, man. I had no idea the relationship between the Trailblazers and Rudy has turned this sour. Sad to see, really. I forget, did he want more money? Playing time? What happened exactly?

 

[masud]

lol Not if Buike is healthy.

It's arguable that he's not even better than Mason jr.

He could get it together and be a nice NBA player, that's why I'm willing to move Chandler for him (most Knick fans are not). I mean be real, would you trade AR for Fernandez?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

He thinks he's a lot better than he is.

Azubuike? :lol

His best season was on a garbage GS team. He's garbage. All he can do is jack up nellie ball shots and gather up nellie ball rebounds due to the lack of bigs on that team.

I wouldn't trade AR for Fernandez though.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Ah ha. He's always come off as a douchey, egotistical kind of player to me. He's not a bad player, but it seems like he's gonna become a cancer if he stays in the NBA.

Fernandez is maybe a better... passer? That's it. A healthy Azubuike is better than Rudy at everything else.

First John Wall, now Buike? I think I see some college hatred helping form your opinion of pro players.

 

[DY_nasty]

Azubuike is a better defender but thats it. Kelenna isn't a better shooter, finisher, or ball handler.

I always thought he was mad because wall( a Charlotte guy) went to UK but didn't want to say anything:lol

John Wall wasn't the best player on his own team last year AND he had a habit of getting shit on by the better college point guards throughout the season. He's got the potential to be good, yeah - and I'll never he doesn't, but the guy has huge flaws in his game that are gonna get exposed around the clock.

I always thought he was mad because wall( a Charlotte guy) went to UK but didn't want to say anything:lol

Mad isn't the word.

The guy loves turning the ball over and getting put on skates by anyone with a decent handle and an ounce of NBA quickness. I'm calling it like it is. I couldn't care less about what school he went to. I was D2 and on my own team at the time.

Looks like my Kings are interested in J.R.G.

Gidden Will Be In Camp With Kings

The Kings have invited swingman J.R. Giddens to training camp, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports.

"Former Celtic and Knick swingman J.R. Giddens invited to Kings training camp. Giddens says his surgically repaired left knee a lot stronger," Spears wrote on his Twitter page.

Originally drafted by the Celtics with the 30th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, he's spent time with Boston and New York.

I haven't seen him in action much, but I've heard he's a fairly accomplished scorer? Can he defend well/at all?

He's a question mark. Dude never got off the bench for most of his NBA career.

 

[masud]

Ball handling is kind of a wash, Buike can handle the ball fine for a 2 and he can defiantly create his own shot.

Saying Rudy is a better finisher is hilarious though and saying he's a better shooter is just factually incorrect.

I agree to an extent. He turns the ball over too much and has to develop a consistent jump shot. Still will be a better pro than either Turner or Wesley Johnson. Only people I think you could argue being drafted ahead of him were Cousins or Favors.

Didn't you watch the Gold medal match? Rudy dunked on the entire US team!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Oh nice, and we're also looking at Head. Perfect instant-offense-off-the-bench shooter for us. He would be an awesome pickup.

Kings Invite Luther Head To Camp

The Kings have invited veteran guard Luther Head to training camp, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

Sacramento signed Head to a non-guaranteed contract.

Head, who was drafted by the Rockets with the 24th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, has played for Houston, Miami and Indiana.

Buike can handle it fine, but he can't create his own shot. He can play Nellie ball, there's a huge difference.

You checked the 3pt shooters before? Nick Young shoots a higher percentage than Jose Calderon and JJ Redick. Don't put too much weight on stats. Hell, Jason Kidd shot 42% from 3 last year, higher than all 3 of those guys.

 

[DY_nasty]

It was a really weak class, definitely (Aminu? wtf...).

But yeah. The thing with Turner is that he's either going to figure out how to adapt his rather unique game to the NBA, or he'll be a bust. His agent and handlers kept him away from basketball entirely between his last game in the tournament and summer league outside of a few combine scrimmages. He hadn't touched a ball going into SL, so I hope its just a matter of him getting back into the rhythm of working out and back on track.

Wesley Johnson being drafted that high is a joke though.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Wesley Johnson being drafted that high is a joke though.

But he's so personable and has a winning smile.

Yeah shooting % is is actually a pretty useful stat... Nick Young is a damn good shooter and You don't give Kidd that little set 3 point shot because he hits that shit now. Don't see what you're trying to say there.

And if anything Nellie ball should hurt Buike %'s.
