How do you know he's not a HOF pg? did the knicks even give him enough time to learn the offense?

EAT All OF THE DICKS THORN.

Hawes sucks

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
With or w/out Nash, sources say, Raps will keep trying to trade for Kyle Lowry. Raps talked deals w/HOU at draft. Still want him either way

I don't think Raps are giving up Ed Davis.

 

[thekad]

Too late for a trade now. They've got nothing we'd want.

How could the Rockets want to lose Lowry + Dragic? Makes no sense.

 

[darkside31337]

Nets don't have a hard cap of 74.3 million. Teletovic took the taxpayer MLE.

Yeah, I'm reading about that now.

Does this mean there's still a possibility to acquire DC Dwight Howard?

 

[Knux-Future]

Even Hawes' site is shit.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress
Sorry to say but it was obvious. Lowry+Houston's picks were there...RT @WolstatSun: Appears you were right about Nash and Toronto after all.

Nash (and Colangelo) really screwed the Raptors. They could be sitting pretty with Lowry & Lamb right now. Instead they're stuck with Landry Fields.

How could the Rockets want to lose Lowry + Dragic? Makes no sense.

Morey has a cocaine addiction. It's the only thing that makes sense.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Morey wants to have Andrea Bargnianai run the point.

What was the supposed draft day trade with Toronto?

Sam Amick ‏@sam_amick
Yes, but still not easy RT @ara51575 @sam_amick this means Dwight Howard pursuit is alive?

Larry Coon ‏@LarryCoon
Correct. T @sheimans: what if brook lopez says "I won't go!" then no deal?

lol Bropez

Wouldn't he be able to get more money in Orlando anyway? With New Jersey's contract situation, his future would look better with the Magic long term anyway.

Orlando has no interest in paying Brook Lopez long term money.

Its not just Lopez either. They have to get -all- the UFAs involved to actually agree.

With Humphries they have to find a 3rd team willing to deal more than likely in the West and they have to have to be offering something to Orlando of value

 

[jobber]

I kinda wish the NBA would use the FIBA shot clock buzzer. It's like a loud air horn.

 

[Dominican Power]

Not Bill Walton ‏@NotBillWalton
Knicks may trade defensive stud Iman Shumpert for Steve Nash. With Carmelo in the lineup, that's exactly what the Knicks need; less defense.

[darkside31337]

Why do the Suns even care about doing it then if they dont get back Shump? There are no other assets. (edit nm didnt actually read the twitter handle derp)

yea like if we dont need a pg either.

 

[thekad]

Ugh.

 

[Pkaz01]

woah i didnt expect this much competence from the suns front office. Putting new orleans on the spot and convincing gordon to play in phx? cockblocking a lakers nash sign n trade for basketball reasons and stealing shump from ny? (thanks for paying fields toronto).

not bad, i hope the gordon thing pans out and we get him in a sign and trade i could see the hornets taking away shump but fk it better than an unprotected first

 

[Blackace]

yea like if we dont need a pg either.

Nash, JR, Melo, Amar'e

lol poor Tyson

Brian Cuban ‏@bcuban
Mavericks working on deal for Jason Kidd http://t.co/oivBBJ3U

I guess Kidd is the consolation prize?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Nash, JR, Melo, Amar'e

lol poor Tyson

nash isnt confirmed.jr wouldnt start and melo plays D.

 

[squicken]

Fatty Lee going and Lin coming back? Even if Lin sucks it is still a good day

edit: ah just Morey recruiting like that lame Gortat thing? Lee still going tho

 

[victreeb3l]

Iman Shumpert ‏@I_Am_Iman

You can't trade a player you just traded for, for a while, iirc. so i doubt shump goes in a gordon S&T

 

[Brinbe]

What was the supposed draft day trade with Toronto?

Think it was 8th for Lowry. Though there varying reports on whether your 12th-14th or both were involved. No solid word on exactly what it was.

Anyway, BC clearly went all in on Nash, and failed. Now he looks like an idiot, which changes nothing really, because he's already a joke.

 

[DY_nasty]

nash isnt confirmed.jr wouldnt start and melo plays D.

melo aint about that life

 

[giri]

I said we wouldn't get Nash all along.

But lol @ everyone who argued Nash wouldn't play in LA. In the end, it was his 1st choice.

where and or how, do you get that, considering his first talks were with... everyone else?

Thanks. I remember the discussion right before the draft being with the Kings at #5, but never heard the Raptors trade.

Sucks. Seems like Morey stacks and stacks assets that no one ever wants

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Melo denies existence of that life. He's the basketball equivalent of gaffers who think they live in a post-racial America. Melo lives in a post-defense NBA.

Whereas Amare lives in a Pre-defense NBA. He ain't even aware of that life.

I wanna see some footage of Melo's All-Star Game defence then.

In probably the biggest news of the offseason, the Miami HEAT have bypassed the QO for Terrel Harris, making him a UFA. Let the bidding war commence. PEACE.

Sam Amick ‏@sam_amick
On the Teletovic deal with the Nets and what it means for Brooklyn's Dwight Howard pursuit, with @ZachLowe_SI - http://t.co/mciUmxlY

The new collective bargaining agreement contains several rules designed to discourage spending at the high end. One such rule creates a hard cap -- placed $4 million above the luxury tax threshold -- for any team that uses the full midlevel exception, valued at about $5 million per season, to sign a free agent. The tax will be set again at just over $70 million this season, meaning that hard cap would come into play at the $74.3 million mark.

Signing Teletovic to the mini mid-level changes the game. That hard cap set $4 million above the cap only comes into play if a team uses the full midlevel. A team can use the mini midlevel and spend as much as it likes, provided that the owner is willing to pay steep luxury tax penalties. Signing Teletovic at this level, in other words, reopens the possibility of a Brooklyn-Orlando deal centered around Lopez, Humphries, Brooks and future first-round picks.

Honestly I'd take this package if I was Orlando.

Trading for a 24-year old 7-footer with already bum knees and an escaped psychotic who keeps forgetting to take his crazy pills is less favorable for the future of your franchise if you ask me.

 

[darkside31337]

@WojYahooNBA
Y! Sources: Nets target Ersan Ilaysova -- Plan B for Dwight Howard - has 5-year, nearly $40M offer to stay with Bucks.

Yeah because overpaying for a stiff who can't rebound for shit and a couple other scrub pieces tacked along with 3 shit picks is totally a great package.

Bynum is an elite center. MWP is just a less shitty contract than JRich.
