Humphries can't be that stupid. Get a new agent dumbass

Fegan just lookin out for himself man.

 

[Prototype-03]

I can't believe this trade is actually being considered, is anyone winning in this trade except for the nets?

That's why I'm scratching my head why this trade is even going through.

Nets win it big if this works out.

 

[Adam Blade]

Marshon Brooks was a 23 yo rookie...

Eh...

The chance to screw over the Flakers and prop up a real contender to the cHeat next year though...

 

[alr1ght]

Drummond is a good 3 inches to the left of the rim on his FTs. Now I could understand not getting the distance correct, but airballing to the left is just hilarious.

It's as close to showing up The Lakers as The Clips can get. Get what you can get lil bro.

You're talking about the guy who thought it was a good idea to marry Kim Kardashian.

Seriously, it seems like every other team loses. Hell, some of the players lose too. Kris Humpries averaged a double double last year, he should be able to get more than a one year deal.

I bereave in them next year. Flakers are getting old and KoMe's knees and Nash's back are definitely not going to hold up.

Better than marrying Khloe.

 

[StickSoldier]

wtf nbatv, still showing the final of the thunder/heat game 5.

 

[Walsh]

Cleveland better not accept Humphries on a 4 year contract. It is a stretch going for the guy as just a loaner for a year but taking him on a 4 year contract seriously restricts are options next off season.

 

[Roger Danish]

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO

Both Dwight Howard and Kris Humphries represented by Dan Fegan. Rumor is, Fegan has agreed to contract, waiting for Humphries to sign off.

How the hell is this not a monumental conflict of interest? Is this even legal?

Edit: I mean legally legal. Not under the CBA or whatever.

 

[NervousXtian]

Howard can pick up that 3rd year for Hump. It's all good.

To be clear, I'm told Kris Humphries is only interested in multi-year GUARANTEED deal.

GG Brooklyn?
And from Aldridge.

Indeed, Humphries’s agent, Dan Fegan, has not even had a conversation with the Cavaliers about a contract for Humphries, according to league sources. The Nets are driving the process.

The Nets have sent medical records for their free agent center, Brook Lopez, to the Magic. Lopez would be the centerpiece of the players and picks that Orlando would take back in a package for Howard. However, the Nets have not asked for or received Howard’s medical records from Orlando, according to the source involved in the discussions, because the talks have not gotten to the point where a deal is imminent.

I'm utterly confused as to how a deal is imminent when 5 of the players have to agree to this madness.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Seriously, it seems like every other team loses. Hell, some of the players lose too. Kris Humpries averaged a double double last year, he should be able to get more than a one year deal.

Jeff Green and Brook Lopez didn't even play last year and are about to get multi year/seven figure deals.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I bereave in them next year. Flakers are getting old and KoMe's knees and Nash's back are definitely not going to hold up.

Iron men are going down but bone on bone Chris and above the rim Blake are gonna be just dandy? Lulz. Clips have as big a chance at injury as The Lakers, I would say serious injury risk to Paul and Griff are at Bynum levels.

 

[giga]

I'd be okay with the deal if Humphries agrees to a 4 years 40 million just to screw Dan Gilbert over.

 

[LyleLanley]

Jeff Green and Brook Lopez didn't even play last year and are about to get multi year/seven figure deals.

I think it's time for another lockout.

humphries is everyone's hero

 

[Gigglepoo]

That's a pretty shit deal for Orlando, but I can understand Hennigan's pressure to take what he can. It's easy for us to say we'd just play Dwight's bluff and make him sweat out another year in a Magic uniform, but it's probably not that easy for him.

What would Dwight do if he wasn't traded? Orlando has his Bird Rights and Brooklyn couldn't offer him anywhere close to the max.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lakers should offer Humphries a full MLE!

 

[Jdez15]

The Cavs a have tons of money to spend, they are getting another 1st rounder, and 3 mill from the Nets. Great move.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He might walk to Atlanta or somewhere else with space (Houston? Dallas?) Yeah he'd be leaving a ton of money on the table, and it's hard to believe he will do that, but another year in Orlando could just make things so ugly to the point that he might just do it. A new GM on the job might not want to deal with that kind of drama in his first year.

 

[Cipherr]

Will really be glad when Howard ends up wherever the fuck he ends up. Ever since early this year with his "Im leaving" and "Im staying" bullshit he has hogged shitloads of NBA reporting time. I just dont even give a shit anymore. Just send this guy somewhere finally so I can stop hearing about his ass, Jesus fucking Christ....

 

[Matrix]

God dammit Morey pick up the god damn phone.

Fuck everything

I'm starting to think... no one likes him lol

This league is still a joke... I'm ready for another lockout!

 

[Shinobi]

Humphries can't be that stupid.

 

[Shinobi]

How'd the last one work out? You know, in terms of creating "competitve balance" and discouraging "outrageous player contracts"?

 

[RBH]

The Magic would get three first-round picks -- two from the Nets and a lottery protected first from the Clippers.

Those 1st round picks would pretty much be fucking useless. :lol


Mid-to-late 1st round picks haven't meant shit for years now.

It was never about that.

 

[Future PhaZe]

I'm mainly rooting for some damn competitive balance in the East.

Even with Dwight, the Lakers are depending on aging/old guys and still don't match up well with OKC. I ain't scared.

.
Ridiculous post. The lakers threw away two of those games. You think adding Nash and Dwight makes no difference?

 

[Knux-Future]

The owners got what they really wanted out of the last deal.

DAT FITTY FITTY SPLIT.

It's all about the money.

 

[NervousXtian]

I agree. Blakes game with his past injury? I doubt he's having a long career.

..and if the Chris Paul rumors of past are true? Yikes.

Yeah, he scurred.

 

[StickSoldier]

It's good to see Vince make a come back.. A feel good story imo.

And how about those JG Wentworth commercials? The ones with the opera singers? I fuckin love those.

 

[thekad]

If Dwight Howard goes to Brooklyn, nine of the 12 members of the 2008 Olympic team will play in New York, LA, or Miami.

dat new cba

I mute them faster than freecreditreport.com commercials.

and for basketball relevancy: Humph needs to fire that agent if these rumors are true. That's even more shameless than all-stars colluding during the olympics.

I'd rather have it again then watch this Howard drama. They need a longer one it seems to fix this broken league.

It also delays me having to watch a gimp Rockets squad. I'm not fully prepared for it, though it needed to happen.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Where's Knux?

The Moe Harkless era has begun........

 

[Grover Cleveland]

dat new cba

I smell another angry Comic Sans letter coming down the pipe.

Speaking of Cleveland, I guarantee that Uncle Drew will be playing elsewhere within five years.

 

[Shinobi]

It was never about that.

Haha, I know dawg...thus the quotations. I haven't trusted sports owners in a CBA dispute for twenty years now.

Have you SEEN that apple bottom?

Did you see her sex tape? Droopy would've looked more active.

This is pretty much how I feel about it at this point, I'd rather talk about summer league games and the olympic team.

 

[The Frankman]

That hand is dangerously close. He needs to go all the way like Urlacher did.

Serious? Agents will always find a loophole.

You are just delaying the inevitable.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Mid-to-late 1st round picks haven't meant shit for years now.

We can give them three mid round picks right now if thats all they want. And im will to throw in Martins one year bad contract instead of Lopez' four year one. Hell I'll even throw in Torontos guaranteed lottery pick.

 

[Branduil]

I said it during the lockout, but if you really want to improve competitive balance, make it so teams can only have one max player on their roster at a time. Every other player is at half of the max or lower. You'd see a lot less of this superteam crap if one of the guys had to make half the money of the other.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Missed the Jazz Summer League game, didn't sound like I missed much.

Also, getting Brook Lopez on a max contract sounds more like a punishment than a reward. Like, teams would have to give up assets to get rid of that contract, super confused how it became an asset.
