Nevermind I got it wrong.

The deal does involve Kirk become a laker.

 

[Karakand]

No Deng or Heinrich? Who is going? Noah, Gordon and Ty Thomas? Los Angeles won't like that. Though I think Deng is a might overrated at this point. He disappeared during that Pistons series.

If anyone needs me I'm going to be setting up the noose to end my life.

How about Ben Wallace? You can have him. LA loves its Centers.

If you werent a dirty laker fan id allow you to join the blazers bandwagon, but i cannot allow myself to do that.

 

[Kak.efes]

Could Artest, and Bibby be gone?

It's OK, the Pistons got Afflalo. Though I'm sure he'll be sent down to the NBADL early in the season like all Howland-coached Bruins.

Don't do it! Kobe might change his mind and decide he wants to continue wasting his career losing to the Suns every year in the first round.

Now if the trade actually goes through and the Bulls win the championship this year, then I will set up the noose for both of us.

 

[jobber]

I heard on NBA Radio....

Bulls get Kobe, Suns get Tyrus and another player, Lakers get Marion and Gordon

 

[DY_nasty]

Suns? I thought it was the Kings

 

[R_GILL]

Good to see Kerr is doing a good job of sabotaging the Suns.

Either the Lakers are dumping salary for 2009.

Or they're trading a superstar for a guy that can opt out this summer and a guy that's a RFA this summer.

My money's on the latter. *climbs up on the chair*

 

[DY_nasty]

I'm not a Suns fan at all. But as a basketball fan, I'd be pissed if they traded away Marion for Tyrus Thomas.

 

[ph33nix]

my posts are full of wade hate? really? you think?

well, it's kind of weird when a bunch of people come out and say that about wade. i guess a bunch of people (players, coaches, fans of different teams) are all just full of wade hate.

odd that they usually don't mention other players(besides LeBron) when referring to getting bs calls.

and to prove it, just watch a wade game and a different game side by side.

you're biased and you know it, being a mavs fan. with that said, kobe was doing his best running back impression last night but nobody said "GOSH I HATE THE WAY HE PLAYS"

and actually, a lot of coaches, players, and fans think wade is a stud. nobody denies that he gets BS calls but you talk like he gets a huge percentage more
i think kobe is better but the hatred is just stupid

 

[thekad]

I heard they're also trading away their 2009, 2010, and 2011 first round draft picks as well.

Spoiler

kidding

 

[Gigglepoo]

you just proved my point that you're clearly biased.

Of course he's biased. His team lost to the Heat! What do you expect? Still, Wade and Lebron seem to get more calls than anyone else in the league. By quite a wide margin.

 

[jobber]

The thought is Tyrus fits the Suns style of basketball more and Marion

Move Stoudamire to the 5 full time and have Tyrus at the 4

Dude... just no. Tyrus sat behind PJ Brown for a reason. Ever wonder why there wasn't a ton of people calling for Stiles' head because he never put Tyrus in the game? CHICAGO DO NOT WANT

 

[Karakand]

That's because the Laker Hate Train was delayed last night. If Big Zep were around you would have heard about it. :lol

 

[ph33nix]

now I wonder what everyone's point is. do they hate Wade, do they hate the league, or what? because for anyone to say that wade isn't that good is pretty damn stupid. I've heard comments from various people that he isn't any good without his free throws, and that's ridiculous.

either way people will always bitch about something.

I think Wade is amazing. When I saw him put up a Triple Double at Marquette during March Madness, I knew he would be something special. My beef is with the league, not with the player. Well, not with Wade at least. Lebron's a worthless douche who isn't fit to carry Wade's jock strap.

 

[Karakand]

Well my problem with D-Wade was that he was / is getting superstar calls when he isn't a superstar (yet). I won't bitch about the system because it isn't going anywhere and I won't try and defend Kobe when he gets bullshit calls either. (He does, often.)

 

[mrmrec2]

He was getting a push by the league into super stardom.
Since Jordan retired you have to think of the NBA in terms of WWE.

Holy Jesus Courtney Simms is on the Pacers opening day roster. It's hard not to get down on the state of today's NBA.

 

[strikeselect]

Dwyane Wade is the best shooting guard in the NBA, period. anyone who says different is a moron.

I don't give a shit how many times Kobe scores 40 points with horrible field goal percentage.

When it comes to being a LEADER and an efficient scorer, Kobe doesn't come close to #3.

 

[Benjamin1981]

This Kobe talk is driving me nuts. Get the deal done, so i can finally enjoy the season.

You're delusional. I still think T-Mac is better than Wade in terms of how he can absolutely take over games with shooting and/or playmaking ability.

How isn't he an efficient scorer? :lol

And I'm sorry but that team is full of scrubs and unathletic, one-dimensional, over-paid chumps. You could say he's a leader of just that. Maximus, Leonidas, and Skywalker all together couldn't lead that team to victory so please put that card back in your hand.

 

[AirBrian]

Tyrus sat behind PJ because he's a TO machine. One hell of an athletic TO machine though.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Leave Scola alone! Let me guess, Yao Ming is a bust because scored 0 pts and 2 rebs on opening day.

Spurs suck! They aren't winning anything. I hope they do so bad in the first round so that they meet Dallas, and then Dallas beats the shit out of them!

That's right! I'm favoring Dallas over your Spurs (even though I didn't last yr because I freaking hate Josh Howard, well I still do, but anything to prevent the Spurs from winning an easy championship).

 

[AirBrian]

I hope Kobe goes to Chicago without the Bulls giving up Deng even more now. And even more, I hope the Bulls don't give up Deng to get Kobe.

Magic Johnson to Bulls: No Deng, no deal

Wednesday, Oct 31, 2007 8:56 am EDT
Loul Deng

Chicago Bulls general manager John Paxson didn't travel with the team Tuesday to New Jersey, where the Bulls open the season tonight against the Nets.

Paxson was busy at home, apparently working on trade negotiations with the Los Angeles Lakers for Kobe Bryant. But those talks seemed to have lost some intensity. Los Angeles Lakers vice president Magic Johnson said the deal isn't going to happen.

''A deal can't get done because they won't include [Luol] Deng,'' Johnson said Tuesday on TNT. ''And without Deng, a deal can't get done.''

[DY_nasty]

Yeah, well athleticism can only count for so much. He's a complete moron when it comes to basketball IQ. I think Tyrus is going down the same road as Sebastian Telfair. I don't even think he'll end up being better than Darius Miles.

 

[Benjamin1981]

I don't get the Tyrus hate on this board, but i guess i mostly based on his "free money" comment.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

The Suns-Bulls-Lakers deal isn't happening, folks.

A source close to the Phoenix Suns shot down a rumored three-team deal that would've had the Bulls landing Bryant, Gordon and the Suns' Shawn Marion going to the Lakers and a package of Tyrus Thomas and other considerations heading to Phoenix.

The latest deal involves the Kings and Hinrich, not Gordon and the Suns.

EDIT: Beaten by Benjamin.

No it is mostly based upon him never having done anything of note in the NBA, having shown no inclination to do so.

Lakers always attacking women.

Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom was involved in a two-car crash in Hawthorne, Calif., yesterday morning which sent one person to the hospital TMZ.com reported. Odom was not injured.

Police said they investigating Odom for allegedly running a red light in his Mercedes. Odom's vehicle struck a Geo Prism driven by a 37-year-old woman. The woman needed to be extracated from the car by firefighters.

TMZ.com reported that the female victim was in serious but stable condition with a head injury and injuries to her left leg. Sources told TMZ.com neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor in the accident, adding Odom stayed with the victim and was very concerned about her well being.

The longer the Laker organization takes with dealing Kobe, the more likely they are to deal him in frustration and not get any good players out of it.
