Re: NBA Movement Central 2012 (All Transactions 1st Page)
Sadly im pretty sure it is where I would be so let me guess..Golden Corral? Fire Mountain? Old Country Buffet? Some China Buffet? let me know if i'm close lol. Marvin Williams may be the only hope for that team in the NBA.Who said this though? I don't think there's a basketball fan alive that will tell you that Darko isn't a bust, lol
What we've seen many times though, is mediocre to poor players flourish in a low pressure situation surrounded by talent. I'm not even saying Darko would breakthrough given the situation, but I think that's what Ships was going for.
Crazy man. I loved that '09 team though...I ran into Sean May like 2 months ago in the QC.....guess where?

B. A buffet

Calderon will be traded. Don't know to who, or for what, but it seems like he's going. Hoping Raptors can pull off some sort of deal like Calderon,Kleiza and both 2nd round picks for a SF.
They're also gonna sign John Lucas III.
Any bulls/rockets or just any fans in general know much about him? He is a bad shooter, but last season he seemed to do fairly good. And considering he'll only be playing around 15 mins on Raptors per game(on a team with shooters), seems like he might be a good option?Comment

Lucas was actually a really good shooter last year. Comes off the bench and gives you instant offense, a little like Nate Robinson. He was the reason we beat the Heat one game. looks for his shot a lot but shoots with extreme confidenceChicago Bulls

Why does it feel like the Blazers got played by the T'Wolves?Say "No" to railroaded MC modes.Comment

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012 (All Transactions 1st Page)
They did, but honestly what else could the Blazers do. It's too late in free agency to make an impact out of that $11 milion. Hopefully whoever coaches allows Batum to become a playmaker and not hide him within the offense. Aldridge and Batum are paid as the number one and the number two. LMA is there, I hope Batum's statline improves to this (which would be playing slightly better than he did last year, extrapolated to 38 minutes):
MPG: 38
PPG: 18.5
RPG: 6.5
APG: 2.5
SPG: 1.5
BPG: 1.5
3pFG: 40%
That statline for a small market team is worth 11 million.Comment

This hasn't been posted yet?
The Cleveland Cavaliers may have inched ahead of the Houston Rockets as a facilitator in a potential trade that would send Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, sources said Wednesday.
One source familiar with the talks, though, cautioned not to make too much of that shift just yet.
The Cavaliers would land Lakers center Andrew Bynum for a package of draft picks and veteran power forward Anderson Varejao, according to one league source. The Lakers would receive Howard for Bynum. Orlando would get Varejao and draft picks. The source said this was merely the framework of a deal being discussed.
Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant was in Las Vegas watching summer-league action but made an unplanned return to Cleveland, sources say, and is not expected to return. In the frenzy of anticipating if, when and where Howard might be dealt, such otherwise innocuous events have been enough to inspire massive speculation that a deal is near.
The Lakers have engaged both the Rockets and Cavaliers in their attempt to land Howard, sources say, because those two teams have both interest in acquiring Bynum, and have the requisite salary-cap room to accept larger player salaries than they send out in a deal.
The complicating point for any deal to be completed, sources say, is whether Bynum and Howard agree to extensions with their next team. Sources close to Howard say that as of now, after mistakenly depriving himself of free agency this summer by opting into the final year of his deal with the Magic, he has no intention of doing so again.
ESPNLosAngeles.com reported the Lakers remain committed to pursuing Howard even without assurances he'd sign a long-term extension with the club.
The Rockets have had Howard at the top of their wish list for months and have made moves to pursue him, from collecting first-round picks in the draft to using the amnesty clause on Luis Scola.
Information from ESPNLosAngeles.com's Dave McMenamin and Ramona Shelburne was used in this report.Originally posted by bradtxmale

Other than the contract, what don't people like about Landry Fields? Cause his numbers do seem to be fairly good.
His career average would have his FG% in top 10(last season) in NBA for all SF, made all rookie team just a year ago, and obviously would have had more shot attempts had he not been buried behind Carmelo and Amare.
He should be averaging about 2-3 more FG attempts per game than he did in New York, and with a FG% like the one he has, I expect he'd get around 13-14 points per game(which would be 3rd,maybe even 4th on Raptors starting 5, behind DeRozan,Bargnani and maybe JV)Comment

I saw that earlier today, but didn't feel like mentioning it since all talks involving Dwight have been similar. Makes you want to believe he's going to be traded to the Lakers but when talks about the offers the Nets and Rockets were proposing started up everybody thought he was going to be traded to the Nets or Rockets. At this point it's up in the air, the only place he's NOT going is back to Orlando. I read the Magic aren't in any hurry to trade him and are looking to get a head coach first.GT: assassinK24Comment
