Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

[dmize]

I have no solid counter argument for that one lol...I just like Brandon Knight......

Irving is much more consistent and is definitely has better PG skills at the moment..but Knight has a smooth game and....heck i like his personality.You're not gonna get a debate from me if you want to say Walker or Irving have been better than him or will be better than him.....those are facts....

I can see him being a better version of Arenas....a player who I really liked awhile ago......the kinks in his game can all be ironed out as can those in Irvings...

I'll wait and see and give an overall assesment at the end of the season.

I can definitely say Brandon Knight is the best shooter out of them all. He's got a great stroke. ANd you're right it's their rookie seasons so obviously things can change. Kemba is going to keep starting, per Paul Silas, so I'm interested in how he does with those minutes.

[dmize]

I'm going tomorrow to watch Shabazz Muhammad's team vs DeMatha high school. There's a huge high school tournament held at the Basketball Hall of Fame every year with some of the best teams in the country.



and I also wanna see this dude live:

Nets to trade Williams if they can’t get Howard?

If the New Jersey Nets miss out on acquiring Orlando Magic center and free agent to-be Dwight Howard, the team is expected to trade point guard Deron Williams and begin the rebuilding process, according to a report from ESPN. Williams is in the final year of his deal with the Nets and the team is worried that if Howard goes elsewhere, Williams will not re-sign. New Jersey is prepared to trade the all-star point guard in order to avoid being left empty handed if Williams goes to free agency. The Magic have repeatedly claimed that they are not currently shopping Howard, however, the Los Angeles Lakers have long been rumored as a landing spot for the all-star center. Williams is averaging 18.3 points and 8.4 assists for the Nets (3-10) this season. Howard is putting up 20.5 points and 15.2 rebounds a game for Orlando (8-3).

Pau for Deron, make it happen mitch.

[Le Samourai]

Why would Howard go to Jersey only to see Deron traded lol.

Ughhhhhhhh.....it's tough tho....I know he's an elite PG but of all the elite PG's he's the one I rate the least.

That said Pau for him.

Get it done.

lazenby Roland Lazenby
When Kobe was 19, I asked MJ about him. He just needs to figure out the math, MJ told me. I told Kobe. I can do that, he said. And he has.
lazenby

lazenby Roland Lazenby
Kobe's ultimate competition is MJ. That's why MJ watches him. MJ made people think what he was doing wasn't human. Ditto the Kobester.

lazenby Roland Lazenby
I never said Kobe was better than MJ. MJ just told me Kobe's the only one to have done the work, to deserve comparison.

Pretty cool praise from the G.O.A.T. Roland Lazenby is writing a new book on MJ.

Shabazz Muhammad...is a freak.

Don't go to UCLA..... Go ball with the Runnin Rebels.

Rivals has Andrew Harrison over Jabari Parker. Don't know wtf there watching.

[Chad]

Best Duo Ever.

Should have won more titles, too bad they had to break up...

[dmize]

Shabazz has 9 points in the 1st quarter(almost all on dunks), with Gorman having an early lead over DeMatha.

Jeremi Grant looks like he's gunna be a player, too bad he's going to SU.

Edit: just looked below me and Coach K, Calipari, etc are front row. The games on ESPNU also

[dmize]

Back at home, watching this Cavs-Bobcats game. Irving started really well with 7 points in the 1st. Kemba has struggled with his shot, but has 4 assists, 3 boards, and 2 steals in 15 minutes. I noticed he's going to need to bulk up because veteran guards(like Sessions) are looking to post him up.

[The Franchise]

No doubt, was against the Warriors, obviously not the best defensive team, but still impressive. He also defended Monta for the majority of the game and did a good job for the most part I thought.

I really think when we look back at this 2011 draft class(which was supposed to be one of the weakest in a while), it'll end up being pretty good.

Late but still.

Yes, the Warriors arent the best defensive but they often trick you into playing a fast pace like they do and that can lead to turnovers for even the best players.

Roland Lazenby is a good writer, I got his Kobe book from quite a while ago now. Nice read.

[Le Samourai]

Damn....just realised Ryan Anderson is averaging 18 and 8........white Rashard Lewis?

[The Franchise]

Greg Monroe giving you 17 and 9 in his second season, impressive.

Chris Paul, 18, 3 and 8 vs Jarrett Jack 15, 4 and 7 hmmmm

Am I reading correctly, Ray Allen is shooting 57% from 3?

[Le Samourai]

Dallas - LA

Kobe to drop another 40

I hope they aren't too hard on Lamar

[dmize]

Am I reading correctly, Ray Allen is shooting 57% from 3?

Yep, almost 58% too. Pretty absurd. He didn't have a great game tonight but for the most part he's had a great season.

Celtics are a mess though, honestly if I was Danny, I'd think about dealing KG. Maybe Garnett for Josh Smith, or a pick. And I hate to say it but maybe even Ray as well, his value is pretty high now. Even if we make the 'offs we're clearly not a threat. I'd rather try to get another 1st rounder, so even if we don't end up with a top 5 pick, we'll have 3 1st rounders to package a deal to move up.

Not sure how Danny is gunna play this

[pUsHa]

Terrible game ofesnively by both Dallas and Lakers .... Fisher is old and reliable , this man never ceases to amaze me in the clutch , great decision by Kobe to pass it to him while being doubled .... That Morris rookie makes Blake look like an all-star ofensively and he makes Fisher look like Gary payton on defense , lol ....

Been amazing, guy is shooting fantastic.

The C's surely are finished now, I dont often discount old guys because people do it far too easily but I think they are in trouble.

I dont think they will made trades to core peices though, rather suit up for one last season and then get that money off the books. KG and Pierce are expiring right?

I forgot KG is an expiring. PP still has a couple years left on his deal IIRC. Read an article today saying a few teams have called and inquired about Paul Pierce. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/218370/Teams_Begin_Calling_Celtics_On_Pierce#ixzz1jkTAXsEG

Let's keep him and just tank for Drummond. I'm positive Rondo could make him a beast right away.

[Le Samourai]

So KG and Allen are expiring?

:hungry:

Allen and Kobe on the same team even if they're 34 and 37 respectively.

You guys could use Pierce more. Although I'm not sure Pierce and Kobe could co-exist. Pierce still thinks he's a #1 option.

[dmize]

lol @ Jimmer Freddette. This is the dude that won POY over Kemba last year?

He's garbage in the NBA. How is your one strength gunna be shooting and you're out there chuckin' it up to the tune of 34% FG's and 28% from 3??

[Le Samourai]

Exactly......Pierce is a gunner but he's also a ball handler and he can't come of the screens as well.

Kobe can guard either position and so can Allen I think....it's just they're both old.Allen will get so many open threes he'll be heaven.

So would you move Kobe to SF? Any other team besides LA and Miami, I think Allen can still start on.

[Le Samourai]

As far as best options go Allen's best would probably be Chicago.That's where he would best fit and they have more than enough money.
