Kidd T'd up in a SL game.

lol

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

J Kidd getting a T in his first summer league game lol

lol wat.

 

[linsivvi]

Kaman's efficiency is horrible because he can't get to the line while simultaneously being hugely turnover-prone (he even has negative offensive win shares for his career, lol). His defense is terrible and he's super fragile. I don't know if he's going to get much more.

Well then I hope then other teams mentioned get him. We need to protect the tank.

 

[ph33nix]

hack a drummond

lulz

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Gotta replace one moron with another.

You mean Rick Sund with Danny Ferry?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Kidd employing "Hack-a-Drummond" in Summer League because fuck it.

 

[Vire]

What did Kidd do? Wasn't paying attention...

:lol

I didn't even know that was possible.

 

[Matrix]

It was always meant to happen Lakers-age. It's been in the making for years

 

[Zeus Molecules]

J Kidd getting a T in his first summer league game lol

what did he do to get it?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Give the ball to Lighty, Taylor, you fucking clown.

Edit: Turns it over trying to drive straight through his defender.

smh

tyshawn taylor lawl

i like peyton more than brandon knight already

 

[SamuraiX-]

Tyshawn Taylor with 17 points on 18 shots, 1 assist and 6 turnovers.

Can we ship his ass to China already?

 

[ratcliffja]

Clips sure could use a backup center. I wonder how cheap we could get Stiemsma for... probably not cheap enough.

Y! Sources: The Lakers and free agent center Chris Kaman have mutual interest. http://yhoo.it/14WyvZ2

Fart

 

[pilonv1]

Maybe their mutual interest is hating Dwight, and not related to playing basketball?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

May be lttp.. Paul Pierce poker genius, well he got eliminated but he did good apparently.

 

[Tom Penny]

How will Ainge counter the Lakers tank tactics.

Bring back Shelden Williams.

Just watched highlights of MCW from earlier today.

Love his aggressiveness. He definitely isn't afraid of contact. Sure, he's turnover prone and 26 points on 23 shots is meh but at least he's not as bitchmade as Evan Turner.

Do those card tables have wheel chair access?

He is basically Turner with hops and no feels.

 

[exarkun]

Love the Tank Commander moniker.

There are so few of them, but you know em when you see em. One would think Derek Fisher would have been a great tank commander the last few years.

Is he already so broken down he needs a personal massage playing poker?

nah, I don't see Wade.

Naw, Derek Fisher represents Veteran Leadership and Championship Experience

da fuck is that man... getting a massage during poker.... how you going to get the happy ending in public like that? lol

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 3m

Bucks agree on a two-year, $6.5M deal with Carlos Delfino, w/ team option for 3rd that could pay him nearly $10M, league sources tell Y!

...

 

[Blackace]

da fuck is that man... getting a massage during poker.... how you going to get the happy ending in public like that? lol

Maybe you don't really know the meaning of happy ending

 

[exarkun]

nah, I don't see Wade.

hey man, you're making fun of someone injury?

Messed up.

 

[Vic]

...

Delfino getting paid. I approve!

Edit: oh, $10M over 3 years.

 

[Doomsayer]

...

The lockout solved so much. Smfh.

 

[pilonv1]

I wonder what special type of bath salts John Hammond is on

 

[Blackace]

hey man, you're making fun of someone injury?

Messed up.

-1/10

 

[Vire]

The lockout solved so much. Smfh.

The new CBA agreement can't prevent terrible GM's from being terrible GM's.

 

[Bread]

...

eh it's a team option, who cares? it can't hurt to have that choice if they need salaries to match up in a trade.

 

[Black Mamba]

...

not $10 mil 3rd year, $10 mil over 3 years...

CBA prohibits raises like that except for special situations, ala Lin and Asik.

Also, WTF at some of the weird signings I missed!

Ahh, that makes more sense.

 

[Blackace]

3 years at 3.25 a yr

Outrageous!!

Lockout be damned

Oh wait

 

[SamuraiX-]

...

There's no fucking way the Bucks are stupid enough to pick up that team option. Delfino will be like 33 years old.

Man, they trolled him hard into signing with them. lol

Edit: Never mind, Woj worded that horribly.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Morey must have not wanted him back. We could have paid that.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

10M over 3. Not a third year worth 10M

 

[Forever]

Morey must have not wanted him back. We could have paid that.

He was waived, so I think it's not actually allowed.

Garcia had an option that was declined.

Thanks, that makes more sense. I blame Woj for his poor choice of phrasing

 

[Vire]

Guys...

just follow hoopshype: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm

They have every major twitter account all compiled in one spot.

 

[exarkun]

thats good for Delfino. Played an increasingly important role as the year went on with us, and did well until he got injured. Dude can hit some clutch threes.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Yeah, HoopsHype is one of the best resources out there.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I'm pretty sure Alex Kennedy's next tweet is gonna be: "Sources say Atlanta Hawks fans are hitting themselves in the balls with baseball bats. Repeatedly. Story developing."

Interesting ESPN LA article on the Lakers and Howard


http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/...here-do-los-angeles-lakers-go-here?src=mobile

During his brief meeting with Howard last Tuesday, D'Antoni said very little. When Howard told him he just didn't think he'd ever be comfortable playing in his system, the coach showed him how his statistics last season had been some of the best in his career, he actually touched the ball in the post far more than he realized, and reminded him that he'd led the league in rebounding.

That tension came back to the surface when Bryant and Nash met with Howard last Tuesday. Howard came at them hard, telling them how upset he was that they never publicly went to bat to for him while he was injured.

He felt like they'd disrespected the effort he'd given by coming back from back surgery so quickly. He felt like they had done little to mitigate the criticism he was hearing for his play.

Bryant and Nash were stunned. He'd never told them any of this before, or asked them to defend him publicly. They'd known he was injured and appreciated he came back to play many months before the initial time frame given following his back surgery, but the code among players is that if you don't say anything to your teammates about an injury, it's something you can handle on your own. If you need help, you tell your teammates and they close ranks around you, defending your honor to the public and on the court.

Howard never asked that of his teammates. He'd tried to play his way back into shape after back surgery, and soldiered on after he tore the labrum in his shoulder, even with a long-term contract on the line. But instead of getting credit for such acts, he'd heard constant criticism. And over the course of a long, trying season, that wore on him.

Why weren't people rushing to his defense? Why wasn't he getting credit for playing with so much pain? Was he supposed to ask for help? But if he did, wouldn't that be making excuses?

Phil Jackson ‏@PhilJackson11 9h
What DH brings to the game is power and D. This past year didn’t show due it to rehab and confusion. If he is better of an Astro, so be it.

Phil Jackson ‏@PhilJackson11 10h
Reflection on DHoward’s exodus. He left a distaste in Lakerland The Lakers will be fine. Pau fits MDA’s style of Off-it was about the future

Howard skipping ahead and chasing Jordan without worrying about those pesky NBA titles. I hope D12 can catch up to the fastballs.

 

[Knux-Future]

Dwight is sounding real bitchmade in all of these rumors.

not a good look bro

 

[Bread]

ok i'm close to believing advanced stats gaf's hype for KO

7' guys with skills don't come around too often. i can see him becoming dirk lite.
