Achilles are 6 to 9 months, not 3 to 12 :lol Another genius. Look it up, look up all the reports about Kobe's recovery being 6 to 9 months. Look it up right now.
He wasn't right.
Reilo made a condescending post insulting me saying "you guys realize you're talking to Heavy"... then his next post was "You don't even know Rondo's injured and could miss the entire season"
RONDO GOT HURT IN JANUARY, jesus christ. He's targeting a return at training camp. D-Rose's situation was an anomaly, he's been cleared to play by the doctors for months but he's not mentally ready. That's a different situation. Rondo is targeting a training camp return, end of story. Reilo was wrong, dead wrong on every fucking point. Done.
At the time that Rondo got injured, the Celtics had a 20-18 record. That's with a starting roster of Rondo, Avery, Pierce, Garnett, and Bass.
But yes, please, tell me how Rondo is going to lead them to a 7th or 8th seed when the Celtics as constructed before tonight's trade finished... 7th. Tell me more.

I like what the Wizards did in this draft.
I think they should be a decent team next season.
I think they should be a decent team next season.
Ellis / McLemore / Evans / Salmons / Cousins lineup all day, er day.
My tank is ready.

I said I "wouldn't be surprised" if it happened, I didn't say it would. None of this changes the fact that you were DEAD WRONG on every point you made after that condescending remark.
yeah I think they will end up as the 7th or 8th seed, replacing the Bucks
Rondo (coming off of ACL injury), Avery, Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Brandon Bass, Coach TBD == 7th seed. Yep, I'm the one that's completely wrong.
How can I be DEAD WRONG about something that hasn't happened yet? You're a fucking lol.

a+ draft this year and with the kg pierce blockbuster and simmons getting pissed it was made even better
next year's will be so dull
next year's will be so dull
Same. Otto Porter Jr. was the smartest top pick tonight in my opinion.

I gave you the min and max.
I tore my Achilles and was healed in 3 months. So I'm speaking from experience.

PG: Steve Nash | Steve Blake | Chris Duhon
SG: Kobe Bryant | Jodie Meeks
SF: Metta World Peace
PF: Pau Gasol |R Kelly
C: Jordan Hill | Robert Sacre
How'd y'all get so many players? Can we borrow a couple?
I can't want for Sacre and Ryan Kelly hit the floor together and form Robert Kelly.
Plan to initiate the tank for Swaggins/Jabari is well underway.
Salmons/Metta swap and we'll throw in Thornton.
Bring him home. leggo

Find me ONE QUOTE, ONE ARTICLE, anything that says Rondo could miss the entire season. Find it.
You were wrong. Instead of owning up to it you hold ground till death because that's what Internet keyboard warriors do -- they NEVER admit when they're wrong. Like 1% are man enough to admit it.

Who cares if Rondo comes back or not, the Celtics have the worst spacing of any team in the NBA and will never score this year.

And is your job a world-class professional athlete? The timetable is 6 to 9 months for pro athletes. Look it up, thanks.

Lakers said Duhon won't be back. Either traded or waived by the 30th.
If Dwight walks, Metta will be amnestied to save money.
Nash
Meeks
???
Hill
Pau
will be the starting lineup til Kobe is back. If Dwight leaves, don't be shocked to see Nash unloaded, either. Why keep him when you could get a draft pick out of him from someone.
It depends on numerous factors. I gave you a MINIMUM. I never argued Kobe would be 3 months. Given his age and degree of tear, obviously not. Your reading comprehension is that of a child.

Kings need to get rid of Thornton /Salmons ASAP
I gave you an example of a player missing a whole year due to ACL injury and you dismissed it as a "special case" or some shit.
Damn, that's sad

BECAUSE IT WAS.
DERRICK ROSE'S CASE HAS BEEN A RUNNING JOKE THE ENTIRE SEASON, THAT'S HOW MUCH OF A SPECIAL CASE IT WAS. It was an anomaly.
I'm done, I'm gonna watch a movie. Getting way too worked up and we aren't even talking about Kobe.
Not like we have an amnesty clause that we've stubbornly refused to use on Salmons or anything.
owate
when you say "plan" you make it sound like we actually have a choice to do anything other than tank
It's not an anomaly in the sports world for a player to take more than 9 months to come back from an ACL injury, how do you not understand that?

Nash for a pick or two. Amnesty Metta..
Steve Blake/ Darius Morris
Meeks

Hill / R Kelly
Sacre
Gonna need to pick up some undrafted dudes...Wiggins better be worth it.

Meanwhile, D12 trying to run D'Antoni off and sabotage Ryan Kelly's career. Why does Dwight Howard hate Ryan Kelly?

Please, Wiz will replace the czzz and the bucks will still make it somehow.
Just let me be satisfied with the 12th overall

I guess Vasquez is on the trading block now with JRue in New Orleans.

You said he might miss the entire season and your reasoning for this is DERRICK FUCKING ROSE.
Instead of choosing one of the hundreds of cases where athletes have come back in 9 months, you choose one extreme case that's been scrutinized to death by everyone as the backing for your point.
That's the kind of man you are. Instead of just admitting you were wrong, just saying 'my bad' and movin on, you hold ground till your last breath never giving up an inch. GOD FORBID CONCEDING A POINT TO HEAVY LOL

Where's Pau? Pau going nowhere, Lakers will want to keep him when Lebron comes over.
Kobe, Wiggins, Lebron, Pau. game over.
Ebanks, Duhon guaranteed not to be back. Lakers said they want to keep Sacre and maybe Morris.
I'm still a bit salty Blazers didn't grab him..why Grant Jerett over kazemi why
Well good for Washington
Happy for Kazemi but I'm pretty bummed they went for that Euro-rights player over Kazemi. I think he's a contributor year one.

You said he "might miss the entire season". You were DEAD WRONG.
I know I rarely post in NBA-gaf and maybe Im secretly the craziest person in the world, at least thats what the Pelicans forum keeps telling me, but I am utterly fucking livid at Dell Demps for tonights performance.
How in the Holy FUCK do you trade potentially TWO first round draft picks for Jrue FUCKING Holiday?!?!!!
Maybe the guys on the hot seat with new ownership, but to me hes Sacrificing the long term for the short term. We just gave up Noel(or even someone like Burke if we kept the pick) and potentially a 6-15 next year (cause we arent getting far into the playoffs if at all) for a guy that is at best somewhere in the 10-15 range of PG's in this league and if you look at advanced stats(I know) he is horrendous! Not to mention he ties our cap up so we cant do much in FA.
Fuck this night so much!
....Tell me im overreacting and everything is gonna be alright GAF

It's harder to tank with Pau and you'd get more value out of another free agent than having Pau and his huge cap hold.

I figured Pau would kill himself like Knux on draft night trying to support Blake/Meeks/Hill starting lineup.
Lakers are gonna be so bad this year =(
