And the blind guy he lied to

That blind guy wouldn't have hesitated to kick Boozer to the curb, if Boozer ever got injured or wasn't producing. Boozer just showed an NBA owner who's used to playing with people's lives what it's liked to be played with.

Carlos Boozer, Hero of the Workers.

I'd be cool with having a #Stay campaign for Pau next summer.

I need a full-length story of Boozer from you on fanfiction.net It would be great.

 

[diehard]

LOL, someone who plays worse defense than Al.



double LOL

i refuse to believe this.

I'm sure you could piece together a story just on soul's posts over the years. Sort of like that Kanye thing Deadspin did.

"A star player wants to come here? You tell him to kiss our ass!"

Man, I am so sorry.

Hopefully somebody like Ujiri comes in and enacts a full on fire sale of that entire front office.

 

[Branduil]

Didn't SoulPlaya use to be a normal poster?

 

[giri]

That is it. I don't know if its random though...

It's ran"all the big name matchups that will net bigger tv audiences will definitely play each other 4 times"dom.

Also, i don't get why the W's are so desperate to get dwight. I almost think bogut is a better fit tbh.

but that may just be aussie bias.

 

[giri]

Didn't SoulPlaya use to be a normal poster?

I'm not sure if he used to be, or he just wasn't as bad as LovingSteam so you didn't notice. But he's been on the LS level for a while now.

 

[Black Mamba]

the lakers are not trading howard for Bogut,, Rush, Jefferson.

If they trade Howard to GSW, they're taking back roughly equal salary. With the new CBA, that means an $80 luxury tax to take on 3 expirings they will let walk. Even if they get crappy 1st rounders or Barnes in the deal, why would the Lakers pay $80 million for that?

They'll let him walk and save that cash for the next season. Now if Curry was in the deal, they'd do it, but GSW won't. And if it was Klay + Barnes they'd think about it.

Warriors have zero leverage because the Lakers can easily let Howard walk and it ain't worth $80 mil to get something crappy back.

I wouldn't.

Why would I care?

I'm a Lakers fan. Yeah, I. . . . . . . . am. I mean. . . . . . . . yeah. . . . . Lakers fan.

I think somebody already beat me to it. It was Bulls meets Twilight, or something.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I'm sure you could piece together a story just on soul's posts over the years. Sort of like that Kanye thing Deadspin did.

I wanted to write a book called, "What would you like on your sandwich, Mr. Booz?"

It would be a biography about Taj Gibson.

Didn't SoulPlaya use to be a normal poster?

Loving Boozer IS normal.

I'm not sure if he used to be, or he just wasn't as bad as LovingSteam so you didn't notice. But he's been on the LS level for a while now.

It's what us Lakers fans do.

 

[Black Mamba]

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't either. I'm not that high on either player. But the Lakers would think about it, I know that much.

And I didn't see the mention of Lee. 100% they don't take Lee back.

Unfortunately, many sports writers don't understand the concept of bargaining power and what goes into it. if Dwight demands Warriors, who cares? Lakers will demand something back worth paying $80 million for. If it's not offered, they'll tell Howard to walk.

if the Lakers were well under the luxury tax, this would be a different conversation. But they're not, so everything revolves around the LT hit.

 

[Sanjuro]

Shit Brad Stevenson is same age as me

Coach da knicks

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

So that makes Spo the 2nd youngest coach in the NBA??? Or 3rd behind Frank???

The potential addition of Evans and New Orleans' draft night trade that landed Jrue Holiday have improved Eric Gordon's outlook on New Orleans.

“I’m all in with the Pelicans,” said Gordon, who has been friends with Holiday and Evans since their AAU days. “It would be great if we can all play together. I would say we’d definitely have a chance to make the playoffs."

fuckin lol

LOL Antawn? Fuck you jazz, this is karma for keepin the rox down all those years. Eat it. EAT IT. And for making Sloan resign. Cool ass dude.

People talking about T-Rob like he doesn't belong in the league. If EC6 and Jordan Hill are still playing, there is a place for T-Rob. He literally has had zero development from when he was in Sacramento, and McHale didn't give a fuck about some dude who was just traded to his team. Give him a team that wants him and willing to put effort into him.

 

[pilonv1]

fuckin lol

Trade for All-Star PG

Play two shooting guards 40mpg

 

[Zeus Molecules]

fuckin lol

Dem lowered (but realistic) expectations

I said this but Warrior fans seem to think we need expiring contracts for some bizarre reason.

Now you know how we feel when yall made up those stupid trades where the Lakers would trade Odom and Gasol for Paul, Nash and Howard.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

But Bynum, Odom and Gasol for Dwight and CP3 was one bullshit Stern interference from happening, playa.

 

[Dominican Power]

3 ball ball dominate guards on the same team. What can go wrong?

Good to have you back mamma.

 

[diehard]

dang, Jazz still have to get another $24 mil on the books to reach the league minimum.

Other than Marvin Williams.. Hayward at 23 is the oldest player on the roster.

Did I mention how much I fucking love our new management yet?

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

Not bad pieces in return but leaves the pelicans short at 5 must expect to get asik

 

[fertygo]

Why Pelicans want Evans anyway? trading for Granger would make more sense.

 

[pilonv1]

Lopez/Vasquez for Evans is a perfectly fine trade. I wish we had Vasquez to back up Steph

 

[Blackace]

Evans is youthier

 

[CreepingFear]

Nate and the Booz swimming with Sharks. I'd watch a reality show with them going on adventures all over the world. I'm sure if any Shark got close, Boozer would just yell at it and scare it away or punch it in the nose like he punched that ref that one time.

Edit: I noticed SoulPlaya posted first. Of course he did...

Isn't the Warriors way over the cap anyway? The new CBA blocks any sign and trade when the team receiving the player is over the tax threshold, right?

Ace gon get ya

Wow, so the kings are getting rid of Reke. Does Vasquez play defense? Wish we got Iggy now (I think).

 

[ph33nix]

Have they been doing First Take? cause they haven't released podcasts lately and I know they have stuff today and tomorrow but it is on Espn news which i don't have

lebatard's co-host is on today and I want to see how he will make a fool of himself

 

[Branduil]

But Bynum, Odom and Gasol for Dwight and CP3 was one bullshit Stern interference from happening, playa.

The best thing Stern has ever done, to be honest.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

With Austin Rivers being replaced by Reke, the Pelicans will probably make the playoffs this year as long as Davis takes a leap forward like he can this year. They probably would have done so with any small moves though and trading away Noel and Vasquez just to pay JRue and Reke a ton of money doesn't make a lot of sense.

Anyone's summer league rosters been posted yet?

We've got 2 guys that I know of that we're bringing in, unfortunately Seth Curry is injured and won't be one of them. Said he's planning on joining our fall camp though, which is awesome. I hope he makes the team and sticks, I want a new-age Hornets jersey with the name Curry on the jersey bad.
