Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

[Freeza]

I actually thinks more highly of Skip Bayless, after having seen his and Stephen A's replacements. He is just an idiot on all LeBron subjects, but outside of them I think he has good and valid points

[dmize]

Team USA vs Dominican Republic starting now... Melo starting over Durant still

[Swanhends]

Maybe Melo threatened to eat KD

[Le Samourai]

Melo is a better 4 Than Durant / Lebron especially considering Chandler is the starting C.

[LeSwagg James]

Just saw the Brooklyn Nets jerseys.. Nicest ones in the league imo

[The Franchise]

Parker said Nash is a disaster...

The white Latino guy actually talked some sense in the vid lol. but it's the first time I've seen him.

I didnt actually watch that video, I was talking about the guys in that video but their comments in other videos.

[The Franchise]

Of course you would say that, he doesnt really like Lebron lol

He is the only one of that panel right there that even remotely knows the game.

He doesn't like LeBron because he's a New York guy.

Here's one of his quotes mid last season:

"They're overrated. I don't know why everybody thinks they're just gonna flip some magical switch once the playoffs starts. I think LeBron made a mistake, he should have stayed in Cleveland. He took the easy way out when he could have gone to New York or Chicago and had a better legacy. This team is completely flawed and they WILL NOT win a championship and when they fail this season, they're gonna be broken up in the offseason."



That's just using the LeBron thing as an example.


When you let your personal sentiments get in the way of your job as a journallist, you lose sight of reality and start going downhill. Not that he has ever been at the top of his trade though.

I can give you more examples if you want.

Or maybe he was just wrong? Guys can be wrong.

Its not like he was the only person on the planet to have that exact opinion.

[The Franchise]

Thta 2nd video, I couldnt even hear the last question. Even when they repeated it in the studio I didnt get it. What did he say?

[The Franchise]

Ah never mind, I read the link. Yeah that seems pretty unproffesional. But I wasnt talking about his skills as a reporter or his proffessionalism, I was talking about his knowledge of the game of Basketball.

[The Franchise]

Dani who would you rather, Bynum...who you know as a fact will sign your extension or Howard.

You will have enough money to max out Chris Paul and Josh Smith and Dwight next year regardless of this, but are likely going to lose Howard if neither is gotten.


On the brightside...

You are getting Dwight/Bynum




/Gasol

I dont want Josh Smith on a max, thats first of all.

But second, Bynum obviously. He has a post move.

I am annoyed we let Scola go...whats the point building some super team with zero other parts. Scola is a perfect starting role player for a Championship team.

[The Franchise]

That white/fake Latino guy on ESPN, forget his name, but he is as annoying as hell. Everytime I see him he is just talking out his ass.

Duno who that black dude is on the right, never seen him before now, he is also incredibly annoying.

Parker is the only dude talking sense.

Chris Broussard?

Nah the guy dmize said Isreal something.

But Broussard is also a useless turd who might love Lebron more than his mother does.

Scola had a terrible contract , not on e befitting of a role player, and Smith....from what I saw in the playoffs at least.....can get something close to the max of thereabouts.....maybe say 15 million...you might have to sign him TBH because Your chances for Paul are significantly slimmer.

Oh and you're trading rosters with Orlando.

Sources say that the Rockets would have to send Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris and Chandler Parsons to the Magic from their current roster to make the salary-cap math work, as well the draft rights to Jeremy Lamb, Royce White and Terrence Jones, all selected in last month's first round.

Taking back Hedo and Richardson

That shit's crazy.

Good Luck.

Edit:

Larry Coon is saying it's done.

Kevin Martin
Patrick Patterson
Chandler Parsons
Marcus Morris
Jeremy Lamb
Royce White
Terrence Jones
2013 TOR 1st
2013 DAL 1st

for

Dwight Howard
Chris Duhon
Glen Davis
Jason Richardson or Hedo Turkoglu



That Toronto 1st is going to be in the lottery.

[Le Samourai]

Kobe's response to Jordan was hilarious.

Jordan said he laughed when he heard Bryant said the 2012 USA Basketball team could beat the 1992 Dream Team. Bryant’s post-game response after USA defeated Dominican Republic in Las Vegas on Thursday night:

“So what, he knows I’m a bad motherf**ker. I’m not really tripping. The fact is, they have Ewing and Robinson and those big guys, it’s tough. If you’re asking me, ‘Can you beat them one game?’ Hell yeah, we can beat them in one game. You didn’t ask me if we could beat them in a 7-game series. In one game, we can beat them. No question about it.”

[The Franchise]

Well Kobe is not wrong, of course in 1 game they could win.

Anyway about Scola. How in the world is his contract bad? 9m?

I would rather have him for 9m than Smith for max without even a second thought.

[Le Samourai]

Scola is 30 million over the next 3 years and is 32.

We disagree there Smith to me for all that he does so many things and has improved his offence so much I wouldn't be completely opposed to the idea of giving him a max or at least 15 million knowing that getting him would keep Dwight Howard.

Why I say Max is because I think other teams will offer him that money just to try to get Howard there.

[Le Samourai]

I change my mind about this guy, best PG in the league in 3-5 years

[tonger]

Maybe Melo threatened to eat KD

interesting... KD to Melo as BK to Messi?

WTF. If that's the trade, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Houston is pretty much giving up every asset they have.

[dmize]

Vegas Summer League starts tonight... Toronto vs Houston should be good.. Ross/Lamb/Motiejunas

Lol at Ater Majok on the Lakers SL roster again

[LeSwagg James]

Marshon Brooks plays JUST LIKE Kobe.. I bet that was his favorite player growing up

Btw are John Wall and Kyrie Irving playing in the summer league? Or would they be considered 'too established' to play?

[dmize]

Kyrie could play if he wants, but Clevelands not in the SL, and I think he's still on duty with the select team.

John Wall is in his 3rd year he won't play.

Kemba is playing tonight, anything less than him destroying SL would be a disappointment imo.

[Swanhends]

In other very important news, the Sixers signed Kwame Brown today!

GET INNNNN!!!!!! ROAD TO THE FINALS 2013!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, its for first and second year players only huh.. The Cavs are in the SL actually

[dmize]

Motiejunas started off really strong, quick 9 points, 5 rebounds in the 1st. And he stepped out an hit a 3.

This guy Fortson the Rockets have running the point, he may be one of the worst PG's I've seen in a while. Three or four times he's left his feet for no reason with no idea what he's going to do with the ball. Missing reads, bad shots, etc.

[McAgger]

Le Samurai, we're playing you guys in our first Summer League game. Get prepared to be blown out of your socks by Klay and Barnes

[Freeza]

we're getting slaughtered by GSW, really like Thompson and Barnes though

Odom-Johnson looks like Kanye West on roids
