Why even pretend like that's a decision.

The Golden State Warriors guarantee Utah fans will be salty for all of 2012-13

I'll be salty until i realize you have Mark Jackson as a coach, and will still suck, eventually giving us the #7 pick in the draft.

 

[darkside31337]

Nash should wear like number 83 or something just to make lifelong Lakers fans look goofy as shit.

I wish I had the financial stock/revenue numbers for MSG from last time...

You don't understand, we all KNOW from a basketball standpoint Lin will be overpaid in the backloaded years. There isn't a single Knick fan arguing this. But the money MSG will make/inroads marketing to the Asian community will be so huge any future luxury tax hit the Knicks will take will be paid off just by the marketing on Lin himself. It's that simple; Lin being on the Knicks gives the Knicks a Luxury tax cushion.

He also gives everybody else a "the Knicks are over the cap for eternity and can never sign anybody ever again" threshold.

Best 3 weeks ever.

I would take The Dream in his prime as well!! But that isn't the point is it?

they have a black hole at center too... Dwight will pass out of double teams at least and is a game changer on D..

I'm one of those weird fans where a guy's likability and personality matter to me and i dont want dwight on my team. He's Dwyane-tier. Not to say that Bynum is much better but he's at least been here for a minute.

 

[Blackace]

Yeah I would do Dwight for Bynum and filler. Might even be worth it to take one of their bad contracts who's a shooter. With Nash on the team, it's all PnR. We saw how he didn't fit with a guy like Shaq who just wants to camp the lane

Shaq in his prime was a different player than Phx Shaq.. if Nash had prime Shaq he would have averaged 15 ast per game

If you don't like him you don't like him.. but you don't have to make up stuff that isn't true about his game to say that.. I hated Karl Malone... but I can't pretend like he wasn't one of the greatest players to play the game..

[K.Jack]

The best thing about the Nash signing is that he negates Mike Brown as any kind of influence on the offense.

One does not simply negate COTY Mike Brown.

 

[Emergenzy]

Thunder signed Thabeet? Hmmm...

 

[Omega]

We saw Shaq... it was a train wreck with those two.. and GP and Malone to the mix and it was worse..


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...

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.

He didn't even average 20 this season. He put up 18. Normally players improve..

And you guys are seriously going to FG% to defend your argument? I'm not even going to bother. With that shit logic Tyson Chandler is a better offensive player than Bosh. Any 7 foot bum can have a 60% FG when majority of their points come from within 5 feet.

Dwight Howard's post game is embarrassing. He either bullies his way to the basket or he dunks. Lebron has a more sophisticated post game than Dwight and that is terrible.

With Nash absorbing the TPE, Lakers can't take back any bad contracts, unless Metta is part of the deal.(which would defeat the purpose)

Yet it works. You're really faulting him for being too strong and too athletic?

 

[charsace]

Greedy ass $tarver stay hungry for the green. He trades Nash to a team that is basically the rival of half the western conference, including the Suns. $tarver would trade his anal virginity for a buck.

Cruel twist for Knicks: That trade exception L.A. used to obtain Nash? It was created in Tyson Chandler trade, then sent to LA in Odom deal.

This is too delicious

He did. For two seasons in a row. Efficiently while being the number 1 option

Man, your avatar works so well with your internet.

Hopefully this makes Dwight more keen on LA too. But sending J-Rich with him with Nash there too? Uh oh.

Dwight could average 25 points a game if he developed something as simple as a baby hook. His offensive game is as raw as it was when he joined the league. Now he has back problems. So you're looking at a player that could be potentially injury prone on top of not progressing.

I also don't think that Nash makes LA any sort of favorite. Westbrook would eat him alive and I still don't think LA could beat Miami in a series.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

you literally have Bynum and Kobe as its main cogs

Kobe is a very likable dude, he's not some thug that parties every night and gets into fights at the club. He lives and breathes basketball, he's enigmatic, his background is unique, he speaks Italian, he's charismatic and a good interview, he doesn't fake flop all over like Dwyane (someone post "The Gif" plz), there's no one like him in the league and never has been and never will be. Yes he takes too many shots sometimes and tries to carry the team on his back in the 4th when maybe he should pass it up but the guy is a warrior and all he wants to do is win, basketball is in his veins. He plays through more injruies than anyone since AI, he's charismatic but still has a killer instinct that very few players in the league have, there's no one like him. He has his faults but he's likable, far more so than guys like dwyane and lebron who are all about the spotlight and prima donnas. Kobe just wants more rings, that;'s all he eats sleeps and dreams about and I respect that more than some thug who parties every night and 10 illegitmate children. Kobe is weird, he's strange, he's enigmatic, he's one-of-a-kind, and I fucking love that about him.

It's like every dumb move the Knicks made from 2009-2011 will forever be linked to them missing out on players for the next 5 years.

Adding arguably the best offensive player in basketball to a top 3 seed would seem to make them contenders.

 

[darkside31337]

Yeah that was the rumor. No idea if it was true or not.

Supposedly Nash divorced her a day after she had the kid. Guessing the kid was black.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I admit the divorce and Kobe probably cheating on Vanessa regularly was a huge disappointment but i feel there must be more to that story, or maybe not. That definitely brought him down a notch for me because cheating on your wife with kids and ruining the marriage isn't a good look (esp after what went down in CO) but i still love him.

You know all in all, i'd rather they amnesty blake and try and develop morris. Especially his defensive game and outside shooting. Nash needs a really solid backup to give him some rest and blake ain't it. His had enough time to prove himself and he failed.
