Man, it would take massive stones for Presti to move Harden for a guy like Beal.
I just don't see it happening, especially with the Bobs just acquiring Ben Gordon. Not to mention that Cho is looking to offload Tyrus Thomas' contract (yeah... no) and that Harden hasn't been re-signed yet. That would guarantee that the Bobs are gonna offer Harden a max deal, because there's no way they trade for him without being sure they could re-sign him (like Gordon in New Orleans).
All it basically does for OKC is that it solves the salary situation (temporarily) and downgrades OKC's bench for next year at the very least.
Or maybe Presti flips Harden for Beal, then flips Ibaka, Maynor, a couple Euro prospects and picks for Dwight.
Then Presti is elected President of the World and we all live happily ever after. Blowjobs, 18 year-old scotch and steak for everyone!

What would the Bobcats do with Pau?
Guard him with Nazr Mohammed and Boris Diaw and make him look a two legged pony?
Been there done, done that.
dy and the pussy cat?
Nothing, which is why that trade offer is pretty ridiculous. I'd rather do:
Bobcats get: #6, #11
Blazers get: #2, Thomas
lmfao

Confidence is nice, but a little too much touting his own horn there. Beal is a much more valuable player than an hustling, undersized big.
lol
L O FUCKING L
It's just... too easy.

And then you wake up and realize you still live in OKC
If Cho does this, I'll go commando for a year. Just for him.
You'll like Ibaka. He tries super-hard and will more than replace Dwight's blocking production.

You card, you were supposed to get Premium and not CQC alone. The M417 is a really good sniper rifle, maybe your camping ass will like it.
lol
im pretty sure that's why he doesn't like it..he can't just sit in that same spot on oman for 30 minutes..when that's all you know how to do change is hard
it's not. if it happened tho....mannn
i already told myself if it does pau ain't getting off the bench in 2k13..ever

All aboard! The Love train!
I do think Presti is exploring every option. This just feels like one of those times that he'll make some kind of move, and there's usually not this much smoke coming from the media.giri said:
Realistically, we probably can't keep Ibaka, Harden and Maynor. Presti knows this and is probably trying to figure out ways those guys can be productively flipped.
If you think about it, Perkins and Ibaka plus picks for Dwight are a decent deal for Orlando.
Plus, we have OKC double agents as GMs in both Charlotte and Orlando.
"You never even saw the takeover coming. Get on my level, motherfuckers."
Or you could do the world a favor and not buy 2k13.
You know it's going to be a bug riddled half assed piece of shit.
Perkins and Ibaka isn't a decent deal unless it also comes with a top 10 pick.I do think Presti is exploring every option. This just feels like one of those times that he'll make some kind of move, and there's usually not this much smoke coming from the media.

Bringing in Dwight is interesting. But does that mean that you're starting Collison? if so.........
God if we take him 6th I'm going to quite watching sports for life. It's probably Lillard small chance Drumm even smaller Waiters. No way in hell we take this idiot.
Kid thinks he already has all the tools..... he needs to to bulk up, learn to pass, play better D etc.
NOLA's too good for him

Dy and the Pussycats,
No effort and defense lax,
drove Silas to a heart attack,
Intentional losses, iron unkind
Don't you know
Dy don't mind...
Hurry, hurry
Cho's been going
over the master plan,
Acquire Pau Gasol to appease the fans,
Checking the draft for days now so
don't you know that
no matter how the draft may seem,
Harrison Barnes will play on your team...
Dy and the Pussycats,
beat the Knicks, I'll give you that...
SEASON TANKERS...
That's a fact,
Dy and the Pussycats...
Even though they're,
playing in Boondocksville,
Soon they'll have
a huge fanbase, yes they will...
Kemba triple-doubles
you'll just watch them
Climbing up the
standings chart,
Breaking ankles
breaking hearts...
Dy and the Pussycats,
Believes Corey Maggette's on crack,
He says he knows where it's at,
East, West, North, or South
Guaranteed to rock your house...
Dy and the Pussycats,
Dy and the Pussycats,
Dy and the Pussycats,
Dy and the Pussycats...

Presti looks like a member of the Geek Squad
whereas Rob has dat swag
In my scenario the future Charlotte pick would go to Orlando as well, which is as good as a top 10 pick. Or maybe we give Orlando Maynor as well, and we take Jameer off their hands.
And I'm fine with starting Collison. We started goddamn Jeff Gomes at PF for multiple seasons. Nick is perfectly capable even if he's not a superstar.
Maybe we convince Orlando to draft Royce White or someone like that at 19 to be our backup PF as part of the deal.

He's got swag because he knows Orlando's about to become OKC-East.Red Blaster said:
Except without anyone as good as Durant or Westbrook
I just love how all his tattoos are completely antithetical to who he really is as a player.
Watching him in the NBA is gonna be absolutely comical.

That doesn't make sense. Orlando was losing in 5 games in the Finals before OKC.
Orlando East.

OK, that one cut deep.

50 bucks for all the expansions + early access + random bonus content and other shit
Armored Kill is gonna have hugh jazz maps to satiate your camping ass anyway;
Rivers has worse character issues than PJIII and that's fucking saying something.
He certainly worked miracles on LeBron.

PJII at least knows he's bitchmade (oh god I'm already justifying shit...)
Rivers thinks his name is LeMichbe Jardant. He's gonna get a lot of empty ass stats..but hey he could be someone's YNB.

We're gonna trade down for Rivers.
Michael: "I really liked his competitive fire. He reminds me of me."
*Camera pans over and we see Cho tied up and gagged in the corner*
Y NOT Brook.
As in:
"Russell, why'd you take that terrible ass twenty footer when you had Kevin Durant in the paint for an easy dunk?"

This draft sucks. No stars, just a bunch of no-name scrubs. College ball blows because they all leave after their freshmen year so they can't build up that college superstar hype. Fucking shit draft.
Why Not Brook
Why Not Brook
Because many wonder why you'd shoot a contested 3 pointer 7 seconds into the shotclock while ignoring guys like Harden and Durant - Wesbtrook asks "Why not?"

last good draft was 07' with durant and oden
we all knew who they were, they had big time hype
now we got some knucklehead with a unibrow, that's the only reason i know who this kid is
