Setting up a retirement home. Amare is in the right place already.

 

[Jonm1010]

lol wut

loserbro

lets be real

Our luck struck once, new orleans catches a break like once a decade........and stern no longer gives a shit what happens to us.

I'm all for one more round of tanking though

 

[Adam Blade]

Props to you guys for being classy about it.

I ain't even mad though, considering I always expect stuff like this to happen.

I really hope he's all right though.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Seriously trying to get Twan? Didn't we tried that before with Joe Smith and Ratliff?


Don't know fellas.

 

[NervousXtian]

Oden needs to either play overseas or in the D League for a season before he attempts to come back to the NBA. It would be stupid for him to jump right back into the highest level of play after being out of the game for a few years.

..he'd just get hurt there. Better riding pine and playing 10-15/min a game.

Exclusive: The #Bobcats are re-engaged in acquiring Kris Humphries to upgrade their power forward spot, an informed source tells Observer.

um wat :|

 

[marathonfool]

um wat :|

Cho ain't about that tank life.

 

[giga]

Davis should at least bring some better D than Blake. I still say put Lebron at the 4.

CP3/Deron
Kobe/YNB/Harden
Durant/Iggy
Lebron/Melo/Davis
Chandler/Love

 

[Pimpwerx]

Whose parents are these? PEACE.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I don't understand why the Bobcats would want Humphries. He brings losing culture which helps the tank, but the Cats are already filled with it while his talent could hurt the tank.

 

[Bowser]

Sessions' deal is for 2 years; I hope if we get Hump his deal isn't for more than 2 years.

I thought Camby was going to the Knicks?

Looks like he's been hanging at Cheeseburgers in Paradise.

John Wall

 

[Branduil]

I bet he got injured because he doesn't know how to take a hit in a non-flopping situation.

 

[Omega]

Camby looks like shit.

and overweight.

Houston has decided to use the amnesty provision on Luis Scola and will likely file with NBA on Friday, league sources tell Y! Sports.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Scola was amnestied.

Now 2/3 of the players who Demps would have given up CP3 for have been released by their team and the 3rd is Kevin Martin who is terrible now and is being desperately shopped.

 

[Branduil]

Houston going all-in.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

So, someone on NBA.com, I think from the Orlando Magic, wrote an open letter to Gar Forman telling the Bulls to get involved in the Dwight sweepstakes.

LOL!!!

I read that. Hopefully Gar reads it too. I would have gone with a different title, more along the lines "Grow a fucking pair, its required if you want to win this thing".

Yeah, not like he had any trading value. Morey is a disgrace.

 

[masud]

Grunwald is just playing right? He cant possibly be thinking about matching Fields' offer sheet can he?

'hey Bryan, just calling to let you know that we're going to mat- ssiiiiiiiiikkkkkeeeeee!"

Why not? Dosen't hurt the cap at all (that's been fucked up) it's just gonna cost Dolan several million dollars in taxes. And in 3 years they'll have another large expiring contract.

 

[Mothman91]

Washington is still deciding if they want to amnesty Blatche...

 

[reilo]

Scola amnestied? Pick him up Portland.

 

[Tom Penny]

Scola amnestied. He's the only player I've seen amnestied that could actually still ball.

Wizard's up to something

 

[masud]

Kamla just reported that Scola's getting amnestied .

 

[jobber]

Scola to the Spurs would be GODLIKE. DO IT MITCH and dump Duncan while you're at it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

What team really needs a PF right now? Especially one who's declining, doesn't really fit playoff basketball, can't play any position other than PF, and gets paid a good bit of money?

 

[Gabyskra]

You still call him that? My god, what do you need???

Letting Dragic just walk. Drafting 3 redundant players. Dealing Lowry for a mid first rounder. Amnestying Scola.

This is so fucking shameful. What a terrible job at converting assets.

So does this mean Scola can sign with the Heat for $1/yr now?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

He won't get to free agency. Somebody will claim him.

Everyone could benefit from getting a player like Scola. You have no clue what you are talking about. He might be the best lowpost scorer there is right now. Nobody saw it coming or you can bet teams like the Spurs would have saved their exceptions.

 

[darkside31337]

He didn't have a ton.

Using the amnesty on him isn't that big of a deal. He still counts towards the floor if they don't get Dwight and if they do get Dwight then it makes it easier to sign other guys

 

[RBH]

The Mavericks will be aggressive bidders for Scola on the amnesty wire, league sources said. Dallas is serious about Elton Brand too.

1. Giving Dragic a 4 year is dumb. Dumb for PHX and would have been dumb for HOU

2. They aren't redundant if they aren't all on the roster when the season starts

3. Characterizing the Lowry trade as for a "mid first rounder" is inaccurate

4. Amnestying Scola is a tough pill to swallow but a small price to pay if Howard is the payoff

 

[reilo]

Fuck me.

Four months of Dwight!

I just threw up in my mouth at the thought of Luis in a Mavs Jersey.

You really sure about that? Do you think he will sign an extension?? I know Morey isn't dumb enough to trade everything for a rental of Dwight....or is he?

 

[masud]

Knicks age if any of yall missed it Printezis turned the Knicks offer down and signed with Olympiacos for 3 years. Big Papa's comming next season though.

It worked for Brooklyn.

Most likely gonna use their one time on this

I hope you guys end up 4th or 5th in the draft. I don't want such stupid management to be rewarded. Keep hoping for Howard, when you have nothing to offer and he'd be bitching about how crappy the Rockets are.

1. Yeah, not like he avged 18/8 on crazy % for you guys, i'm sure it'll take you less than 20 years to find a player with those numbers.

2. Yeah, like they have any value of sort at that point.

3. Lottery protected. Sure, it might be something later, you might feel better about losing your 2 PGs.

4. Sure, i'm sure that helps a ton. Better than dealing Scola for a pick or two even.

 

[thekad]

It worked for Brooklyn.

I wonder if Dwight will refuse to fly to Houston like Deron did to New Jersey. Blame it on his "back injury."

Fire Morey.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

This fucking blows, Scola put it all on the floor. I really hope he ends up on a good team.

 

[RBH]

Scola has three years and $21 million left on his contract. The Rockets are clearing space in pursuit of a Dwight Howard deal.

[ph33nix]

Why does Houston management seem to hate Scola so much
