D12 is an asshat for his douchebag moves... but wha?

What can Dwight do on offense? He has perhaps the worst postup game in NBA history. He can't shoot. Only way this bum is scoring is alley-oops or PNR dunks.

Bosh has a mid-range jumper, he can hit a 3 from time to time and has a post up game.

This slayed me. Well done.
 
I am so happy the the Lakers FA saved the Knicks FA from themselves:

However, let's Fast Forward to the afternoon of July 11th:

*phone rings*
Bryan Colangelo: Hello?
Caller: Hey Mr. Colangelo, its Landry.
Bryan Colangelo: ...
Landry Fields: You know, Landry Fields!
Bryan Colangelo: Uh! Ahehm!
Landry Fields: Bryan... You ok? I just called to see when I can come down and sign this 3 year, $20 million dollar contract and make it official. The Knicks didnt match it so we're home free. I just wanted to say I thank you for showing trust in me to pay me on my future potential. I'm working real hard on my shooting this offseason, and I know I'm going to turn into a player the Raptors can he proud of. I love the city of Toronto and I feel I can be an anchor in the starting lineup that'll attract other free agents to want to play here.
Bryan Colangelo: ... what contract?

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
I don't think he ever hated Nash personally but even if he did, Kobe loves wining more than he hates anyone (see Shaq)
We saw Shaq... it was a train wreck with those two.. and GP and Malone to the mix and it was worse..

His post game is simple... but worst in NBA history? Even for trollish hyperbolic nonsense that's retarded..

It is not easy to average 20 plus in the NBA... he scores at about 60% while bosh is about 50%.. that's 1 more bucket per 10 shots that D12 drops and Bosh doesn't...

Yet Dwight was still the highest & the most efficient scoring Center last season. I thought the whole "Dwight has no offensive game" myth was debunked three years ago?

The 3 day grace period for teams to match begins July 11th though. :p

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Despite his request, league source reiterated tonight that Hornets will match $58M sheet Suns committed to Eric Gordon Tuesday.

There it is.

The Dwight has no offensive game shit is so stupid.

The only legit knock is his horrendous free throw shooting. He shot under 50% from the FT line last year. You really can't have him on the court for offense in late game situations.
 
Tbh i don't wanna lose Bynum and i dont want that d-bag dwight. All respect lost for that asshole after last season, he's Dwyane-tier for me now. There's something to be said about loyalty and sticking together, i hope bynum stays. Dwight has no offensive game anyway.

Yeah Nash and Dwight on the Lakers would be killer. Kobe would just need to share in the 4th quarter situations and they could very well go far.

And he can play till 45 guys. So those 1st round picks really mean you haven't given up anything.
 
Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN
Steve Nash was "running" into Knicks people all over NYC past 10 days. It wasn't as creepy as Scientologists following Katie Holmes but..
pathetic knicks fans.

Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN
Just for the heck of it the Knicks should reach out to Grant Hill...before he signs with the Lakers
ice ice baby.

Whoops, good point.

The thing is I keep hearing about "verbal agreement"... that mean jack crap, would anyone really be offended if Colangelo pulled the rug out from under Fields? I mean let's remember the worst example of reneging on a deal, I give you one Carlos Boozer, or:

Heck, the media backlash wasn't much and he lied to an old blind guy!
pathetic knicks fans.
Running into New Yorkers... when he lives in New York. Great one, Isola.

What defensive SF with a 3pt shot can the Lakers can get for the mini MLE? Nash/Kobe is a mediocre to poor defensive backcourt if PG and SG are high scorers (Can't hide Nash and Kobe can't guard fast guys at this stage)

RT @Chris_Broussard: Source: Jeremy Lin still meeting with Rockets. With Nash In LA, source says NYK likely to match any offer

At least the Knicks get something.

As for the Raptors... :(

I think Dwight only works well when he has three point specialists out there to spread the floor

Give Lin the max Morey.

I don't get why the Rockets would sign Lin over the Euro-kid they have now. Dude is a PG yet he can't dribble against tough defense. I like the kid and hope he stays in NY cos there is no way he can live up to expectations on a bad team..

Theres some slight truth to this. Typical PF with Dwight on the court has never really worked all that well. Big Baby + Dwight on the court last year was a disaster.

He's still great though regardless of who else is on the court.

But he wouldn't have to worry about that with Pau. Pau doesn't play inside.

Oh please, no one cared when Boozer did it. All FAs care about is that paper.

Agents represent players. They're not gonna go apeshit if a player reneges on a verbal agreement. If a team does it, it's a whole different issue. Good luck getting a break from any agent in the future if they pull a dick move like that
