All aboard! The Love train!
Outlasting Kahn picks is easy.
And now I get to hear about how good it was for the team to cut bait, ignoring what a waste of the #4 pick it was. Forest through the trees.
Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Ho Grant, Mitch Richmond and White Chocolate still ballin' in the Philippines.
Oh, and Cliff Robinson too.

The Stephen Jackson email is the best.
A re-signed Carl Landry.
Rodeo Clown
All aboard! The Love train!
That's not possible because New Orleans renounced Landry. Zgoda is terrible.
Then I have no idea.
I don't see anyone on the Hornets roster who is worth a 1st Round pick and it's doubtful that Phoenix is giving up anyone else if they're already giving up Lopez and Warrick.

At least part of package back to Minny would include Brad Miller (his contract), Jerome Dyson and draft picks, sources say.
Better than nothing?

Yeah I don't get it either.
The US is more injured than Spain. Missing Dwight, Wade, Bosh and Blake. If we had our full roster, there wouldn't even be a chance, with or without a full Spanish roster. PEACE.

My condolences, Rodeo.
I thought the same would be happening with us given that VDN is basically playing the GM, but luckily our offseason hasn't been half-bad.

Landry gonna sign with the Warriors anyway.

Might want to spend less time typing PEACE and more time actually reading what I said, dumbass.
I wasnt comparing make believe rosters, I was comparing the ACTIVE ROSTERS.

You're laughing at the wrong team. I will HAPPILY take Wes' 4 mil to get rid of Warrick early alone, but we get their first rounder too? Fuck yeah! I think Minny will be a good young team this year but they could just as easily miss the playoffs, especially if Rubio doesn't stay healthy. Would be awesome to stack on another lottery pick. I'd prefer to keep RoLo on the cheap but he's not worth a bidding war.
Rodeo Clown

I think this is true. Until the final deal is known, it's whatever.
Another strike again Kahn's talent evaluation, though. Flynn and Johnson both taken with high lottery picks and unloaded after 2 seasons. Plus his guys Lazar and Ellington. And all the guys he traded for (Randolph, Webster) all gone.
Your argument is stupid, period. If you want to talk about injuries, then consider all injuries. If you want to create some weird, partitioned argument about injuries, then go for it...it's not gonna make anymore sense. The reason the active US roster is the way it is is due to injuries. Point being, neither team is fielding a full roster right now, so searching for excuses for why your boys got that ass spanked is pretty pointless. PEACE.

They could have just declined the 4th year option on Wes and have his expiring contract.
I think potential is the operative word in "potential signing or deal" because they never do anything with the cap space. Win now, bitch, forget cap space. All I've heard about for years is cap space and windows of opportunity.

I'm glad the Mavs kept West, dude was pretty good for us last year.

Looking forward to when Kahn trades Derrick Williams and a first rounder for a bag of doritos.
Several years back I worked along side an older Filipino dude (late 50s at the time) who would tell me how he was once a pretty famous basketball player in the Philippines. His knees were bad when I met him and he walked a little slow, but he would tell me stories about how he would go to various parks in L.A. and would absolutely school the dudes on their own court. He said he wasn't fast at that point anymore but that hit was all a skill and mental game.
I thought he was bullshitting, until I started asking Filipinos I'd come across if they'd ever heard of Horacio "Ace" Moreno (RIP buddy). I was surpried when people replied that yeah they remembered him and said he played in the Filipino league(s) some time in the early 80s.
The thing with this dude is that for an older dude, he was a real ladies man. He had a megawatt smile and had women blowing up his work phone all day everyday. They'd take him out to lunch all the time and would buy him expensive clothing and jewelry. He was a handsome dude and he milked it. Most of the women were themselves Filipino and were always pretty. Dude had great taste.
Rest in Peace playa.
Edit: All I can find online is:
Horacio Moreno, G/F, 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m), 176 lb (80 kg), September 26, 1952

Your injured all starts were replaced by other all stars. My injured players were not replaced at all, they started the goddamn game.
Its not that complicated.

My friend's uncle was called the MJ of the Filipino league. He retired in the last 90's. I guess he is really famous over there.
Smells like no playoffs again.

When you can sign a 30-something Kirilenko to a multiyear deal, you got to do it.

Warrick is more or as expensive as Johnson, basically. IMO, this is about unloading Williams for a wing player at some point and Warrick will be the backup for Love.
Rodeo Clown
All aboard! The Love train!
But Warrick is terrible. Worse than Cunningham, who the Wolves acquired today. At best, it's unnecessary. You don't give up assets like picks for Hakim fucking Warrick.

He backs up Pek. Plus, with a team option, no commitment going forward if he doesn't play well.
This move makes no sense unless Williams is going to be traded this season, though.
since the trade isnt complete i can see the suns throwing in the laker picks not that it makes much of a difference
Any official word come down on the whole Brian Shaw interview thing? Hard to imagine him being turned away after all the hype. Last I saw was Shaq trolling.
What I saw of Nicholson looked pretty good. But it might've been nice to pick up a guard. Jameer/Redick/J-Rich/Duhon future is depressing.
Flipping hell. Just watched the First take clip. SAS pulling the race card on Hennigan. Really? Good grief. This past year, Skip has been the closest thing ot a sane person on ESPN. Maybe he hates on LeBron too much, but so does the rest of the world. Blargh.

The Mavs are going to have one of the best defensive backcourts in the NBA.

Shaw pulled out well over a week ago.
Their defense was perimeter oriented last season, too. Problem was a lack of scoring outside of Terry (who was their whole on D out there).
Dallas has way too many guards that can play.

Someone is getting moved. Probably Roddy, possibly Carter too.
