Vegas is better because this Orlando venue is ass.

 

[RBH]

Who says crime don't pay? Dat mob money working out pretty good for the Nets.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Lakers traded Kobe for Amare.

Full tank mode activated.

Morris would be proud if lakers get amare.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I still think the Nets don't make it pass the second round.

 

[exarkun]

After telling kado that Young is not a tank commander, and that LA will win games on Young daggers ala JR and the Knicks (lol), we get

...

17:51 viakado: i hope kobe gets injured trying to rush back

luulz

 

[Rodeo Clown]

So Kirilenko for 3.1M or Corey Brewer for 5M. I don't know, I'm really conflicted here...

 

[Nori Chan]

i like how syphon uses the same gif over and over again for a good bargnani play...its like its the only good play he ever made

syphon do you have a good melo defensive play gif?

Prok to AK47: "I know where your family lives. Since I'm nice guy, I'm gonna give you extraordinary $3.1mil. What do you say? We have deal? You have beautiful wife. It would be shame if something happened to her."

 

[Black Mamba]

you'd think a wolves fan would realize it ain't really the real contract number.

 

[CB3]

I just remembered ive met Nick Young before. My plan is to say "Ive met a Laker player before" so it will always sound better than it actually is.

I wonder how many picks were giving up for the next retaliation move dolan is gonna make.

ArturoGalletti: I have the Nets at $30 mill over the luxury limit for a tax bill of $82.5 million and a total payroll of about $182 million dollars.

Not a single fuck

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Someone ask the Nets if they'll take A-Rod.

 

[ph33nix]

Not a single fuck

At least I won't have to see any obnoxious "Built Not Bought!" signs at the Barclays center anytime soon

 

[Mothman91]

Damn, Afroswag joined the Lakers? Lollll.

Prok made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

which mean either tons of hot Russian Women.


or

AK47's family's lives.

or both

lmao.

 

[Tom Penny]

The Bargnani signing will still have the bigger impact.

 

[SamuraiX-]

The Lakers signed S.W.A.G. Life?

Hallelujah.

 

[knicks]

I don't even understand the AK47 thing. Something is clearly going on over there....Not that AK47 is a stud anymore, but this is dirty playing field. Guy is clearly getting rewarded in some kind of other way from the Nets.

Obviously, but this is the NBA of today. Shit can happen like this and there's nothing you can do.

Really? In the NBA? The same league that stopped CP3 from going to the Lakers?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Players on the back side of their careers often take less money to join contenders. Absent more information, there's not really anything for the NBA to look into.

 

[Bread]

How can you stop a player from signing below his market value anyways, a lot of players do that when they ring chase.

The market was drying up and he's always had an interest in the Nets due to his relationships with Deron and Proky. I think he donated his salary last year to charity too. Money obviously isn't everything with him.

Bow down before your new mafia overlord.

Not really

It's not unheard of to want to play for someone from your mother country

Everything else the Nets did were trades and free money given to AB

It's called a chance to win while still getting paid somewhat above the minimum wage.

 

[Blackace]

The NBA can veto trades not signings

 

[Blackace]

Plus for the NBA anything the Nets do now is just free money

[CB3]

I just realized that Swaggy P is gonna be starting regardless.Because i bet they move Kobe to SF, as we have zero actual small forwards on the roster.

 

[Blackace]

If Lakers got 1st pick I wonder if they try to move Kobe

 

[fertygo]

He's euro, he wouldn't care about ring that much.

 

[ph33nix]

no trade clause

I can't see him ever waiving it

 

[Blackace]

no trade clause

I can't see him ever waiving it

Oh shit he still has that?

He might if they tell he is not coming back the year after

 

[CB3]

Oh shit he still has that?

He might if they tell he is not coming back the year after

After the past few years, there might actually riots if the Lakers made any sort of move to not bring Kobe back.

 

[devious.one]

Hold on... Lakers rollin' with Swag Young? And ya'll was calling for a tank season?

lol.

 

[linsivvi]

Starting Lineup: Farmar/Young/Kelly/Gasol/Kaman

He's euro, he wouldn't care about ring that much.

And you know this how?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Brooklyn getting AK47 is interesting indeed, but I'm not really worried. I don't have any confidence in those fossils having legs late in the season, but we'll see. They certainly have a great collection of bbiq and aging talent. PEACE.

 

[Forever]

Can't wait for the season to start.

 

[SamuraiX-]

The NBA's remaining amnesty candidates

Atlanta: Al Horford
Boston: Avery Bradley, Rajon Rondo
Chicago: Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng, Joakim Noah
Detroit: Greg Monroe, Charlie Villanueva
Memphis: Mike Conley, Zach Randolph
Miami: Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, LeBron James, Mike Miller, Dwyane Wade
Milwaukee: Drew Gooden, Larry Sanders
Oklahoma City: Nick Collison, Kevin Durant, Kendrick Perkins, Thabo Sefolosha
Sacramento: DeMarcus Cousins, John Salmons
San Antonio: Matt Bonner, Tony Parker
Toronto: Amir Johnson, Linas Kleiza
Utah: Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward

I'm glad to hear that at least the Kings were finally mentioned to be pursuing AK47 shortly before he was signed. That gives me hope.

rofl

He's taking this pretty well.

 

[slightconfuse]

Lakers can taste wiggins.

also Brooklyn making moves i like it

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Artest might actually be serious.

 

[Blackace]

Not if you got a young possibly better player

Laker fans didn't riot for Shaq because long term keeping Kobe was better

 

[captmcblack]

Please come to the Knicks, Ron.

Literally that is all I can hope for now.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

If Lakers got 1st pick I wonder if they try to move Kobe

Keeping Kobe for a few seasons with the #1 pick could go either way, no expectations to win immediately with a young gun, so why not keep Kobe unless he starts some serious ish.

no trade clause

I can't see him ever waiving it

His contract will be up by the time we get Wiggins...he'll most likely get a no trade clause in his new deal tho

 

[CB3]

Shaq wasnt loved in the same exact way Kobe is in this city.

rofl

He's taking this pretty well.

He is still getting his money. We wernt winning anything this season and a contender might pick him up. Its not the worst thing in the world.
