J.R. would re-sign with the Knicks if the money is comparable. Also being courted by Pistons, Mavs, Bucks, Rockets and Bobcats.

That might be the most absurd rumor Ive seen yet linked to the Rockets.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

They literally have no other ball handler out side felton at the moment. Apart from Felton it's Priggioni, JR Smith and Melo as the primary ball handlers. If Felton gets hurt, or any of the others, it leaves them very exposed. Ridnours also a good shooter, and would allow them to play a Felton / Ridnour back court like they tried to with Felton / Kidd with two ball handlers.

I mean, it leaves them a little short at SF .. but shumps not really a SF in the first place and... they have so many needs. And Shump is going to want to get paid soon. Next year is his last guaranteed year, then a Team Option the year after.

It oddly sort of works. I doubt it happens though.

Lol yeah its not going to happen.

 

[Smokey]

Isola pls

Let's make it more interesting/stupid. It's going to be a sign and trade for Lin. Knicks get Linsanity back, Rockets get Dwight his third star.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

EC6 will have a second meeting with The Cavs tomorrow. Gilbert, what the hell are you doing?

 

[pilonv1]

Chandler, Dwight and JR may be the least mature NBA team ever

 

[giri]

"I'll take the heart and soul of "Plantar Foot" Noah over the consistency and "basketball talent" of Dwight Howard. Yeah, Dwight may play better defense, offense, and he may be stronger, bigger, and he may not be guaranteed to be injured come playoff time, but does he have the heart? Absolutely not. Dwight may lead you to the Finals, but will he give it his all losing four straight in the second round? Exactly!"

Not sure Dwight plays defense that much better than Dwight that you could really seperate the two, and Noah shoots FT's much better.

Only real difference is their offensive numbers.

..... So you think JR is a star. Cool cool

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Going online now: Sources say Kings have made Andre Iguodala their free-agent priority, pushing Tyreke Evans closer & closer to New Orleans

Iggy, don't do it.

I mean, can a team that has Iggy as its best player and Isaiah Thomas as its second best player make the playoffs? It seems like a major stretch.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

..... So you think JR is a star. Cool cool

He's gonna get paid like one.

Then peel off bumping.

 

[Basileus777]

There's a reason I called it stupid, I wasn't being serious.

Who needs a center when you have 3 undersized power forwards?

isola just seems full of shit in all of his tweets that get posted.

 

[Vic]

More free stuff for Dwight if he signs with Houston: free Papa John's

..... So you think JR is a star. Cool cool

He's not a star, he's an All-Star!

In the West? Hell no.

Who is EC6?

Yeah, but does Dwight get plantar fascitis every year and try his hardest in inconsistent production while battling plantar fascitis in the second round? Exactly!

ESPN's shutting down its forums in 2 weeks. I can't say they will be missed. After that, comments no articles and stuff will be done via FB account. Probably to cut down on trolls, but I've seen plenty of FB trolls in comment sections before. PEACE.

lol ESPN has a forum?

is it possible that there is a worse cesspool out there than realgm?

Trying to lure Mo williams back.

Yea, there's this place full of trolls and some dude who ends his posts with played out corny 90s slang.

 

[sans_pants]

Earl The Pearl Clark

He sucks, doesn't he?

 

[Vahagn]

So Redick and Dudley to the Clips?

Game Over

 

[Cipherr]

So Kevin Martin is gone.......



OKC and that Harden thing....

I swear man..

 

[rando14]

He sucks, doesn't he?

lol

So Redick and Dudley to the Clips?

?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

He sucks, doesn't he?

He tries real hard and with some luck he could become a decent 6th man maybe someday perhaps.

 

[SoulPlaya]

So Redick and Dudley to the Clips?

Game Over

Come on, now. Redick and Dudley aren't that good. The West being wide open, though, may give the Clips a real chance at the Finals.

 

[Basileus777]

So Redick and Dudley to the Clips?

Game Over

And they still have their MLE. I wonder how close they are to the luxury tax threshold, they may have to use the tax-payer MLE if they want to keep some of their own FAs.

 

[Vahagn]

Clippers finish next season as the #1 seed in the west barring major injury.

 

[pilonv1]

If Paul goes down they're in trouble.

 

[Basileus777]

If Paul goes down they're in trouble.

How many teams aren't in trouble if their best player goes down?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

How many teams aren't in trouble if their best player goes down?

How many players are as important to their team's success as Paul and are as injury prone?

 

[thekad]

Well Kobe's not as important but

Kinda like how the Lakers dominated the West last year

Spurs and OKC will be the top two again.

Find me a quote where I said that? And "barring a major injury" was the definition of the Lakers season last year.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I'm shocked at how more people aren't more gun shy with their Nets and Clippers predictions because of this.

Nets especially, though I guess they are in the East.

 

[rando14]

Eh hard to say. GS could do quite well if Steph stays healthy, but fat chance that'll happen. Houston could also be up there if they get... certain pieces.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Clippers finish next season as the #1 seed in the west barring major injury.

CP3 will almost assuredly miss at least 10 games. First seed is probably up between Clips, OKC,Spurs and maybe Houston if they get Dwight. I think Golden State might be a top 5 seed in the West next season. Grizzlies haven't improved at all and it looks like they aren't acquiring any shooters yet. Denver won't be as good.

If Dwight goes to Houston I can see them overtaking OKC in the standings.

West will remain exciting.

 

[pilonv1]

How many players are as important to their team's success as Paul and are as injury prone?

Exactly, outside of LeBron and Durant he's the single most valuable guy to his team.

 

[darkside31337]

East should be good this year. Maybe.

Revamped Nets (again), the Pacers actually getting a bench now that Larry is back in charge, the Wizards should be good (really!) and the return of Derrick Rose's muscle memory.

 

[Vahagn]

Spurs and OKC will be the top two again.

Difference between the Clips and OKC was 4 wins last season. Doc upgrade and this trade upgrade is worth more than 4 wins. Clippers potentially win 63-65 games next season.

yea it'll be fun(ny) watching them this year.

You sure have a lot of faith in 33 year old Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes repeating their level of play from last season for next season.
