Morey must be shook as fuck right now.

It'd be funny if Howard turned his nose up at them again after all that shit.

At least the Rockets might still get Smith or LMA.

 

[h3ro]

Stop right there!

Tyson is awesome.

 

[Blackace]

Tyson is awesome.

Amar'e would have been the right choice

 

[SamuraiX-]

Stop right there!

To me that didn't even come close.

Warriors amnestied a $4M expiring guy. Knicks amnestied a $14M expiring guy.

Both teams used their clauses in order make room for acquiring DeAndre Jordan or Tyson Chandler.

Knicks got Tyson Chandler. Warriors got fucking NO ONE.

Warriors also still had Biedrins on contract for however many years on a stupid amount of money. And yeah, Knicks still had Amar''''''e but you can't blame them for not wanting to blow it up after only two years.

Ugh

 

[Omega]

Stop right there!

sorry but amnesty on Charlie Bell was worse.

we cleared up space for Chandler. Warriors cleared space for Dumbandre, and didn't even get him on top of it. Biendrins would have also been better suited for the amnesty

 

[h3ro]

Amar'e would have been the right choice

Who could have foreseen his knees exploding?

 

[Resilient]

Best chance will be in lopsided trades. Once the Dwightmare is over the Mavs can concentrate on trying to get players like Rondo and Gortat.

yeah, that'd be a good place to start. Just not my ideal situation, of course. It just feels like they won't be able to get any FA's coming out in 2014 with how they have missed out on the two big free agents the past years.

Agreed. This Dwight shit has just set us back when we ahould have gone after other players that at least seemed interested. Shame Dirks final good years may be wasted in a tank.

 

[ph33nix]

okay fine you guys changed my mind, the charlie bell amnesty was awful

still, fuckdaknicks?

 

[Pkaz01]

Who could have foreseen his knees exploding?

The entire suns medical staff did

we're the Knicks man, we don't make the right choice.

it was still the only "good" decision we've made since Dolan bought the team.

 

[giri]

That's because we've never had one.

Figures

the whole point is that they want it to be curry-klay-barnes-dwight. They aren't trading those to anyone but LA if need be.

Except that Dwight is enough of an upgrade at C to downgrade at 2 other starting spots. So i doubt the GSW give that up to LAL at all.

The entire suns medical staff did

P.Much.

I actually believe we'll be saying the same about noel in 2 years. But we'll see, i don't wish that evil upon any team or player.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Yep.

I remember us all laughing when the Knicks paid him 5/100.

 

[Vic]

I really don't see Dwight landing at GSW. LA won't do a S&T. At this point it's either the Lakers, Rockets or Mavs.

 

[DY_nasty]

Yep.

I remember us all laughing when the Knicks paid him 5/100.

Uninsured.

And they were still thinking they were gonna land Wade or LBJ at the time too.

 

[ph33nix]

Yep.

I remember us all laughing when the Knicks paid him 5/100.

I remember being terrified of the Heat being potentially stuck with Rudy Gay, Carlos SoulPlaya, and Amare Stoudemire, or Joe Johnson

Thankfully the Don got 'em all

Uninsured.

And they were still thinking they were gonna land Wade or LBJ at the time too.

CHICAGO - The first person to jump out of Dwyane Wade's black Suburban before his meeting with the Knicks began at 10:05 a.m. Friday was a bald cameraman. Then, another passenger appeared with a boom microphone in hand. Only when his every step into the Peninsula Hotel could be recorded did Wade walk through the revolving door.
"I'm in a New York state of mind," said Wade, a Chicago product.

lulz

 

[rando14]

Big 3 of Carmelo, Amare, and D Wade...

...

 

[Pkaz01]

There were rumors about flagging him for his knee but who knows. I don't think they had enough time to really get all that information.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The rumors all came from terrible sources (NBADraft.net) and every good source said that all the doctors Noel checked with cleared him. Seriously, those guys also reported Valanciunas was never going to come to the NBA, they just make shit up.

 

[Forever]

I really don't see Dwight landing at GSW. LA won't do a S&T. At this point it's either the Lakers, Rockets or Mavs.

If Dwight wants GSW and the Lakers won't let him go, I expect we'll hear about it in the press.

 

[Branduil]

What Wade and Lebron did was far worse than what Dwight has done.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hey, reilo:

Sam Amick @sam_amick
As @ESPNSteinLine noted, two 2nd rounders to Sacramento: I'm told it's Portland's 2014 & either Knicks' pick in 2016 or Portland's in 2018.

:-D

 

[ph33nix]

you're a despicable human being

Yea I always thought it was more likely because noel didnt even bother to work out with them and McLemore didn't give a shit during the workout when he did so they passed on both.

 

[Branduil]

you're a despicable human being

I don't see how paying homage to a team is despicable.

 

[Bread]

Hey, reilo:



:-D

:lol damn he got shut up quick

 

[diehard]

Id prob take Withey over Lopez and he will get less money... why the hell did Portland do that?

 

[darkside31337]

If Dwight wants GSW and the Lakers won't let him go, I expect we'll hear about it in the press.

And? Mitch is supposed to give a shit?

Lakers aren't going to do a sign and trade and take back salary. The only way a Warriors / Lakers deal happens is if they get a 3rd team involved.

 

[Forever]

And? Mitch is supposed to give a shit?

Nah, I'm just saying that it'll be fun to watch.

 

[Branduil]

This just in, multiple sources confirm Dwight Howard has been involved in a secret government cloning project. DwightAlpha, DwightBeta, DwightGamma, and DwightDelta all intend to announce which team they will sign with tomorrow.

 

[pilonv1]

I like that the Warriors winning a coin toss with Toronto for the Barnes pick is a major part of them being able to chase Dwight

 

[Vahagn]

Lakers Warriors deal means deal between Kupchak and West.

West could be calling Mitch as we speak going "you owe me one on that Pau deal"

And they both could be working together to fuck over McHale.

I can see it happening

 

[Forever]

Now you're getting me all excited. He said he'll decide by Friday right? He's not just going to flake on that right? Right?

 

[pilonv1]

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 14m
If Dwight Howard re-signs with the Lakers, I expect Jose Calderon to join L.A. as well so he can play with Howard and his buddy Pau Gasol.

Alex Kennedy Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 19m
Yes, it's random. But I'm just passing it along.

Alex Kennedy Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 20m
It's no coincidence that when Dwight Howard to Houston rumors started heating up, there was a subsequent Jeremy Lin for Jose Calderon rumor.

Alex Kennedy Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 21m
Dwight Howard respects Jose Calderon's game, per a source. He thinks they'd play well together since Calderon is a good facilitator/shooter.

Alex Kennedy Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 24m
I'm told Dwight Howard and Jose Calderon are interested in playing together. Calderon may wait for Howard to make a decision before signing.

This is getting bizarre

 

[Branduil]

Calderon is going to take the mini-MLE to sign with the Lakers with Nash still there?

 

[reilo]

Ha!

Suck on it, reilo!

You sure won that trade!

 

[AgentChris]

Dwight and Calderon package deal like Bron and Bosh.

 

[Forever]

This is getting bizarre

The cast expands. I love it. I wish someone could do a documentary or make a reality show of this.

 

[Baby Milo]

This is getting bizarre

calderon backing up nash interesting.

i wonder what they can get for Pau

 

[rando14]

all this FA talk so far has me fucking pumped for 2014. Gonna be awesome

 

[Starphoenix]

Just thought I'd throw this out there. What if Cleveland were to wind up with the number one overall pick again next year? Not saying it will happen -- obviously -- but what would the reaction be on this board with the obvious choice?

 

[SamuraiX-]

You sure won that trade!

Stay free, baby!

 

[Black Mamba]

I like that the Warriors winning a coin toss with Toronto for the Barnes pick is a major part of them being able to chase Dwight

Raps still would have taken Ross because lolcolangelo.

That said, amnestying Charlie Bell prevented Dwight is much funnier to think about.

Calderon rumor is weird, what with Nash here. Lakers need help on the wings more than anything should Dwight return (or not, really).

 

[Derwind]

This is getting bizarre

Well I get why they might like each other, Dwight wants to play with a good pass first point guard. Calderon just wants to end his mediocrity.

I see no problem with this.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Morey must be shook as fuck right now.

I don't see why he should be. The Warriors are only getting all this press because their situation is actually interesting speculate about right now. What more can you say about the Houston situation as it stands?

But I was being sarcastic. :|

 

[Vahagn]

Anytime you've got Steve Nash on your team and can posture to bring in another starting PG you gotta do it.

 

[Branduil]

Calderon is not going to sign with the Lakers for the mini-MLE. Of that, at least, I am sure.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The Warriors pick would have gone to the Jazz if the Warriors lost that coin flip.

The places i read the stuff about Phx concerns over Noels knees were quoting from suns people on draft night. So i'm not sure its made up. PHX really wanted none of his knee troubles.
