Re: NBA Off Topic

AFAIK, according to him it's either Dallas or Brooklyn next year. But I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back for the Vet's minimum though.

Yeah, I think it all depends on what D-Will does to be honest. If D-Will comes to Dallas, we won't have the cap space to sign him to anything more than the vet minimum, and probably the same for y'all I'm guessing (don't really know y'all's salary situation).

I have to say when we made the trade for him, Butler and Haywood, I never thought he was gonna be the one I wanted back the most.

I just saw them showing Anthony Davis rocking an old school orange crush Denver Broncos lid.

Is dude going to hire someone to trim up them eyebrows now that he's headed to the NBA?

I'm sure he's of the opinion that those are his looks and he's going to go with it but damn man... Trim up the unibrow kid, you're headed to the association.

Re: NBA Off Topic

The elimination of goaltending would be ludicrous. This isn't NBA Jam.

Re: NBA Off Topic

I hope the Lakers give Stevenson a call. Kobe desperately needs a back up so that he can trim his minutes down to about 30 a game.

I like DeShawn, but he's definitely not who you want as Kobe's backup.

Because he can't really create any offense for himself. His whole offense is spot up three's. He makes his way as a defensive specialist and a hustle energy guy, a guy that needs to be out on the court at the same time as the best player on your team.

And in that draft the international guys went in this order:

Yi Jianlian (10th)
Marco Bellineli (18th)
Rudy Fernandez (24th)
Tiago Splitter (28th)
Petteri Koponen (30th)
Kyrylo Fesenko (38th)
Stanko Barac (39th)
Sun Yue (40th)
Stephane Lasme (46th)
Marc Gasol (48th)
Renaldas Seibutis (50th)
Brad Newley (54th)
Giorgio Printezis (58th)
Milvan Rakovic (60th)

There's a massive failure in international scouting that Marc Gasol was drafted behind all of those guys. BUT they weren't wrong about Yi's potential, Yi's potential was, and still is, absolutely massive. He's a relatively athletic 7 footer than can handle the ball, that potential is always gonna be high.

Same as olympic competition and international rules

IMO we shouldnt be changing the game to be like others...that should be the other way around
