I'm really intrigued by what Houston can potentially do.

However, I'm not in favor of a Jamal Crawford move to the Bulls. The guy stops the ball on offense, can take some horrible shots and doesn't play defense. If the Bulls paid him like a 6th man, then my opinion changes. But if the Bulls pay him to be their starting 2-guard, I think that's a huge mistake.

I'm not saying they would. That's just my hunch. I would think Rondo wants out of Boston after the way he's been shopped around recently and he seems like the kinda guy that would make it ugly for the front office if they don't appease him.

Fair enough. If Rondo is unhappy it could be possible. But I don't think Boston would pursue it on their own.
Yeah they were willing to give him up for Paul, but that would not require them to change the identity of their team. Its another PG that is like Rondo just better. But Rondo for Dwight would drastically change the team.

And god damnit guys, I was gone for a half hour and I come back and have to skim through over 20 pages of posts?

And how come nobody is screaming conspiracy about the Celtics stealing Keyon Dooling from Milwaukee for a 2nd round pick?! Milwaukee just continues to get ****ed over by the higher-ups (major market teams)...

IT'S A CONSPIRACY I SAYS!

IT IS! SLY DOING THIS DURING THE CP3 TRADE.

Seriously, it Dooling is anywhere as good as in the game this is a steal. (never seen him play).

Laker Fans will swear by everything that Bynum is the better C just like Nets' Fans(the small # of us on here)will swear that Lopez is the better C.

Guess it is just being a fan lol.

All I know is the Bulls better get moving. I understand being happy with your core of players, but jesus, we NEED SCORING!!

Already had to watch Butler slip through our fingers. Get this damn show on the road Gar.

I really hope the Bulls get Young and that he evolves from being a volume scorer.

Bynums knees are made of Drakes beard, but I really do people in dudes upside....

?

The Hornets are about 20 billion dollars under the Cap.

The Lakers will get a trade exemption back.

I'm sorry what is that? I forgot.

Dude besides Brandon Roy which they also screwed up, Rudy Gay wasn't hindsight, and the Shane Battier Grizzlies had not won a single playoff game

Are you serious

I don't see how we're only being singled out. Brandon has no knees Roy? Isn't everyone giving him like a 2-3 year shelf life? I'm not trying to be argumentative but really? Like I said in hindsight it's bad but we could have done a lot worse like Adam Morrison for instance.

Dragging this post back up here again because there's other teams that exist not named "Lakers". Do you guys think Dooling is essentially just replacing Delonte West since West is reportedly signing elsewhere, or do you think perhaps the Celtics are getting ready to trade Rondo and will end up with a C that they covet and an older PG that needs someone like Dooling to give him a break?

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Theres only a 20 some odd game difference in the amount of games played between them over the last 3 years (including playoffs)

Right because it's not like if Lopez was there, they wouldn't have those extra 20 games anyway, right?

No way is he a "replacement" for Rondo.

I am positive he'll replace West/give them a legit backup PG.

BTW, I think West is on his way to the Lakers. JMHO.

How would you stop this from happening is my question. (Seriously, not sarcastic by any means)

Not sure. Haven't given specific thought to it solution-wise. But I'm not the one paid to make the system. All I know is that this stuff doesn't really happen in other sports. Maybe an incident or two (holdouts mainly, I guess)

Just stating it, people always talk about "Kobe has X amount of playoff games", it's a fact that applies. The games were played.

Next thing. Lakers win two rings (3 finals) with Brook instead of Bynum? Nope.

Maybe Delonte will get back with Momma James?
Nah Doubt it.

It's possible, I guess.

I almost kind of hope a certain center does go to Boston.

So are you against Bynum, or against the idea of him being better than Lopez?

With this CP3 trade, I have to change my signature, sadly.

If we D12, I might fall out of my chair. We were just saying how slim the possibility of this was.

Lol, **** no I'm not saying Dooling is going to be a starter, but I think he can be the type of guy that comes off the bench and gives you a good amount of minutes if the starting PG is an older Billups-type guy. Whereas I feel like Rondo is so young and runs all day that they wouldn't have much use for Dooling with him.
