What is the goal in Portland right now? I can't tell if they're tanking or trying to compete.

They kept their cancers, got draft picks and now have Jonny Flynn. What do you think the goal is?

 

[Adam Blade]

Nothing says "compete" like trading for Johnny Flynn and Hasheem Thabeet.

Hey, Genius Morey had a plan, yo.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Cant in the new CBA

He can't go back.

Damn, that would have been good for laughs.

My lasting Jonny Flynn memory is how Target Center crowds used to really get on him. He came out after the trade and said he didn't understand why.

In general, I'm not for booing your boys. I give Flynn heckling a pass.

 

[The Chosen One]

I can't believe Oden has been in

Spoiler

or at least watching

the league for 5 seasons. At least he had great courtside seats for 5 years.

"Rockets have reached out to the agent for point guard Anthony Carter. Could be an indication of buyout for Fisher.

My lasting memory of Hasheem Thabeet is him getting powerbombed by Dejuan Blair for a rebound back in college.

Yea, dodged that Fisher bullet and only have to deal with the Carter blade.

Hi Rodeo.

 

[Emwitus]

Who do you feel worse for in modern'ish basketball?

Roy
Oden
TJ Ford
Nash (lol)
Rubio
Jeff Green
Nene (as of today)
Shaun Livingston

Sure Im missing somebody, but kind of has to be Roy or Oden, right?

1) Oden
2) Roy






3) Nash Because its obvious now he's more concerned about that paycheck

the battle for 3rd string pgs

 

[Duki]

surely phoenix gives oden the minimum or something right

even if you get an ilgauskas type resurgence it would have been worth it

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

has Aaron Brooks chipped in China yet?

TCB had an alt on stand by confirmed.

 

[Knux-Future]

Pierre Jackson is the best player on Baylor...or rather the only one who gives a shit.

Probably because he's the only one who isn't a lock to get paid

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Was he banned?

No love for tj ford? His back injury was worse than anything that has happened to Oden. And Ford came back from it.

They're all getting paid on Baylor though.

...with a vengeance.

Mike Trudell ‏ @LakersReporter
Sessions is expected to spend the night in Cleveland and fly to L.A. tomorrow. He does not need to pass a physical to play.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Kahn & Adelman met w/ Beasley after deadline passed, sounds like they basically said your future is up to you Mike these next 6 wks or more

Beasley said b4 tonite’s game he’s OK w/ bench role, but wants to play more. Think RA told him he will if he rebounds/defends every nite

Hopefully Beas sees the dollar signs.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Hopefully Beas sees the dollar signs.

Should he play really well the rest of the way, I'd hope they'd know better than to make a commitment to a guy that played out of his mind for a few weeks when there's 4 years of tape on him.

Derrick is the future, not Beasley.

He doesnt ahve a very good smile, so i doubt Kahn drafts him, even though he is from Cuse

Totally. I could see them signing him for a smallish contract, though, if no one offers him anything stupid big. Although we all know how dumb teams are with spending on scorers.

has to be Roy for me.. because he showed how great he could be... Oden has nothing but scouting upside to his resume..

1) Roy
2) Jay Williams

If Branduil saw that shot by DJ, he'd put a hit out on Terry.

3) DY

lol

3) DY

He used to be beautiful before he got turnt out by snow bunnies..

 

[SoulPlaya]

Nick Friedell posts another dumbass article about Boozer. It isn't Boozer's fault that the Bulls didn't do their research. They had years of footage to gloss over! Yeah, Boozer scored only 2 points yesterday, and I'm convinced he did that to sabotage any trade talk, but I'd rather he play team ball than chuck up terrible shots. Boozer can't play as a back to the basket player on the Bulls. Not when he has to keep the lane open for slashers and for Rose constantly. If Boozer doesn't produce in the playoffs, that's on the Bulls, not him. If the Bulls got suckered into thinking he was something he isn't, that's their fault.

Yao.

I feel worse for Yao.

Out of everyone listed there, he cared more about winning than any of them, and tried his god damn hardest for it no matter what around him. (thats not to say the others didn't, just that i feel he wanted it more than anyone).

3) Nash Because its obvious now he's more concerned about that paycheck

There aren't expressions or words created for how wrong that statement is.

has Aaron Brooks chipped in China yet?

No. Fuck him.

even if you get an ilgauskas type resurgence it would have been worth it

2 year minimum deal, i'm all for it. But nothing more than 2 years.

 

[Branduil]

Wait, the Nets traded their pick for Gerald Wallace, and it's only top-3 protected? LOL.

And what in konex's name possessed the Nuggets to trade for McGee?

I liked Yao.. but to me Roy really left it all on the floor.. even with his ability to walk in danger he came back for the playoffs

 

[ThisWreckage]

McGee is an expiring. Nene's contract is lousy. It's actually a good trade for them.

 

[giri]

Yao played, even though the bone he walked on, was split. Vertically.

I can see the roy argument, but yao is one of the guys i feel worst about over the last decade. Just preferences.

Both would/could be the best at their position if they were in the NBA today.

Wow.. Blazers can get a 4-10 pick next year?

 

[Branduil]

Yep. The Nets just traded their best asset for Gerald freaking Wallace.

Without doubt.... Both teams would be so different if both players were here today..

Oden hasn't really showed me anything besides fouling out in a summer league game, which was awesome!

Jay Williams is another kid that I really felt sorry for.. wonder how his career would have gone..

 

[ThisWreckage]

Yep. The Nets just traded their best asset for Gerald freaking Wallace.

Yep, I said it earlier in this thread. I'm surprised that more people didn't pick up on the fact that NJ got fleeced.

 

[Canuck76]

And from what i see of the mocks maybe get a under #15 pick depending on how crappy we continue to be.

Plus with those expiring deals we will also have some cap space this off season i believe.

 

[commish]

I'm pretty sure everyone here said NJ got fleeced.

Nah, not yet.


NJ got fleeced.

 

[jobber]

Jersey didn't get screwed. To be honest, the crop of college kids projected to come out this year is pretty bad. Nets bought into NCAA hype with CDR and that didn't work out too well. They're waiting for the 2013 offseason. The Miami guys will be free agents along with Dwight.
