I gotta admit...ex called it like a week ago.

He said DeAndre Jordan would be getting big money.

I'm floored.

He'll be a good fit in GS but the pressure's gonna be high. I assume GS will Amnesty Biedrins.

I still say GS should pursue CP3 again. CP3, Monta, David Lee, Jordan.

That's an 8th seed IMO.

SA (probably wouldn't pull the trigger )

We don't want that cancer infecting Derrick's mind.

Do you know who is supposed to start between Douglas, Shumpert, and Bibby?

Wait are we talking one game, or long term? or just overall skill?
Also some people disagree with you:

Kobe has been ranked 7th best player in the NBA by @NBAonESPN. - simply crap...as Mark Jackson would say u r better than that ESPN. Mon Oct 17 23:57:49 via Twitter for iPhone Rick Fox Rickafox

Quote:

But putting Kobe at number 7 is disrespectful. He is going to give someone 82 this year just because of that. Derrick Williams RealDwill7

Quote:

'm surprised that most of you think Kobe's ranking is fair!!! Kobe 100% is a top 3 NBA player. Yes he's getting older but also wiser. Wed Oct 19 0449 via Echofon Jared Dudley JaredDudley619

Take that up with him, I just read what you said, saying that you never said such about Dwight/Bynum when you clearly did. That's not his fault. I have been over it. Breathe bro, breathe.

He wasn't talking about in general, he was refering to that one particular post where he never mentioned Dwight/Bynum. You misread.

Wilson Chandler, Dannilo and Raymond Felton aren't winning a championship as core anytime soon. from Bills Backer Clubhouse

Of course Denver didn't receive elite talent. Nobody said they did J. All I'm saying is, I'd rather have my superstar let me know what's up, so I can trade him and get something back for him. Though it's a selfish act by the player, it's still a help to the franchise to not be stuck with a simple sign and trade.

Denver had a billion people on their bandwagon btw, after their trade. For good reason. I wasn't one of them, but they were a damn good team.
