I remember thinking of the signing that we weren't getting good signs from Lebron's crew. but yes, my mistake, stat signed prior to the decision.
You don't know that. Stat signed with us pretty quickly (he was 2nd after Johnson to sign) He didn't field offers from anyone else, he met with the Knicks first then signed a contract. You don't think the Nets wouldn't have overpayed Stat instead of having the worst season ever?

When did he "play like shit"?

Its okay to not like the guy, but don't go making shit up. This is like the whole LBJ empty stats thing.
Honestly they cover almost everything at this point.
I guess I'm going through the 7 stages of grief now.
uhhhhhhh
What kind of athlete needs a beard to show he has a jawline still? Faton kind of athlete. Fat fuck.

Fat and professional athlete do not belong in the same sentence. Felton needs to get in the gym and put some serious work in if he wants to be known as a pro athlete again.
And F yeah at my Cats being 3-0 in the SL. It's lame that MKG is going through full practices but is still being held out of the games though. I want to see him play again dammit!

Good move on their part, once they do something with Deng or Boozer they'll have decent cap flexibility.
lmao wtf are they doing, they're not going to convince Thibs to tank

Once they get rid of their second best player, they'll have the cap flexibility to be ignored by free agents while being a significantly worse team.

They probably would have finished second in the East and are still a playoff lock if Deng, Gibson, and Noah play most of the games.
Besides, next year's draft sucks.
The Spurs won the previous year.
People tend to hate on overhyped players. I think this will be Tebow-like at least

I just got around to reading that Grantland article on Lin. It's straight ether.
On whether Kidd and Felton are better:
On Lin's turnovers:
At a certain point, you get the feeling Kang's not happy with the Knick roster:
To be totally fair, he's a bit off - Raymond Felton probably doesn't even crack the top 10 of Blazers they hated most in the last decade. Ruben Patterson and Darius Miles make him look like a great catch.

So you finally agree. You finally understand that a lot of guys in next year's draft can't play bball?

That picture was after the Magic traded for him. He definitely lost a ton of weight, I was actually excited to see what he could do while in better shape.
Of course he was fucking awful last season. Hoping for better things from him this season since he played better without Dwight and well he's going to be playing 30+ minutes a night.

Next year's draft is supposed to be the worst since 2000, the year Kenyon Martin went #1 and was the only decent player. If the Raps miss the playoffs any time in the next 5 years and have to give the Rockets that pick for Lowry, I hope it's this one.
Adam Blade

Shabazz and Nerlen are supposed to be that bad?
The Rockets haven't even signed him have they? They still need to waive a couple guys and let them clear waivers before signing him, right? Then the 3 day clock starts unless the Bulls renounce.

I've seen people say it's supposed to be a worse draft overall than 06, the Bargnani year. That draft is still way better than the 2000 one, so overall somewhere in between I guess.
Blackace
if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
We don't know what the final draft could be... It could get better or worse
Corey Maggette and Kenyon Martin.
besides a very few all-star caliber players, it seems that the last few drafts have been filled with busts and medicore role players. Thought the 1 year college rule was suppose to help this...loll

Speaking of Garbagenani, do you still want BC fired?
He's probably the worst GM in the league

Because the Knicks didn't have any PG at all playing for most the season. Lin came in halfway through the season. Before him was no one really and after him was a barely functioning Baron Davis.

Their best option is a trade. I don't know what they'd get in return, but Deng and the pick the Bobcats owe them should net them a pretty good player in return. If you combine that with a top 10 pick in the 2013 draft (if they tank) I think they could put out a better team, even without Deng.
I disagree with those saying next year's draft is weak. It looks weak at center outside of the top 10 and at the point guard position, but it's strong at the power forward and especially the shooting guard position. In my opinion the shooting guard class is the best it's been in several years. If the Bulls tank they should be able to get a good one.

I'm actually on the fence about him. He makes good moves and bad, but always drafts well and usually wins trades. At the end of the day he hasn't put together a good team in his time here, but I feel like he's finally on the right track trying to build a team that can defend and rebound instead of some dumb swishy Euroball Suns wannabe.
Unless he meshes insanely well with Valanciunas Bargs needs to go though. He's their only real scoring threat so they can't move him right away, but he's the wrong type of guy to try and build around for so many reasons.

True enough, Ilook at all the guys who held out of last year's draft and whose stock dropped, it's always impossible to tell what things will look like a year in advance. But dor the purposes of an "is this a good year to tank?" conversation, the answer is probably not.

Yay on hearing the Asik news. Finally something positive for the Bulls.

Please tell me you're joking, Nori.

There's an Invisible Woman joke in there somewhere.
Let's see, besides that one good year in 06 (when the Atlantic was truly shit) this is what he's accomplished
2011-12 Toronto 23 43 .348
2010-11 Toronto 22 60 .268
2009-10 Toronto 40 42 .488
2008-09 Toronto 33 49 .402
2007-08 Toronto 41 41 .500
Absolutely stellar.
And as of right now, this roster's looking good for 35-40 wins at best. So that'll be six years of utter mediocrity? Fuck yes, BC should be fired. But since we'll improve by a bit, he'll probably get extended once again. And much like Jose and Bargs, he's here forever.
