Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Look at his left calf. It's non existent.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Funny how they did the poison pill on Lin also and that contract might screw them over too.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Houston probably scrambling to trade Lin now, Lakers better not get desperate...

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

So yeah, just so nobody forgets. Any credibility that Chris Sheridan had left is completely shot today.

He said, '**** it' and went for it. lol

I think the Bulls need to start going after Lance Stephenson. I honestly don't care how much money he wants.

Other than Kevin Love, I don't know what else they can do.

I have a real bad feeling the downhill trajectory could be steep for Wade next season...

I came across this photo, who knows from when but I think it's from this summer

The hell happened to his leg?

He's got nothing to worry about. If you seen my legs you would understand. Lol

. Look at by arms and that will give you an idea of my legs. Lol

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

If the lakers get Lin. I will lose all respect for that organization. I think Kobe would say f*** it and just jump into retirement. Lol

Why has his left leg atrophied so bad??? What on earth.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

I don't think the Rockets are screwed or scrambling. They already agreed to trade Asik to the Pelicans for a possible first round pick.

And it appears the 76ers and the Bucks are willing to take Lin's contract too.

I can definitely see why the 76ers would pull the trigger. They have a tremendous amount of cap space and Lin's contract expires in 2015. So why not get a draft pick and continue building your young team.

So you haven't learned anything from the situation we just got out of? Lance Stephenson isn't going to put this team over the top to win a championship, but you want to overpay his *** a contract we'll get stuck with if it doesn't work out? There won't be any amnesty clause to save us from this one either.

Honestly, I'd rather just not sign anybody and go into the year under the cap looking for trades at the deadline that we can absorb deals into.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Here we are just 2 hours from the moratorium ending, and all Cho and the Hornets have done is spend their resources and time signing a guy to an offer sheet that will almost assuredly get matched.

What are we even doing this off-season?

Uhhhh realistically what moves can you make. Look at the landscape.

Our big priorities this off-season were to: 1) Upgrade 3PT shooting, 2) Re-sign Josh McRoberts, 3) Bring in another 'superstar' free agent. All we've done as far as #1 goes is draft P.J. Hairston (and promptly have him get charged with assault w/in 2 weeks), we whiffed on #2, and our 'superstar' target for #3 is Gordon Hayward, who, while I like his game a lot, was assured by all reports to be matched by the Jazz without hesitation.

I'm just having trouble understanding the strategy of what we're doing. Maybe the Jazz will have a last second change of heart and I'll be proven wrong, but it just all feels so helter-skelter.

Don't know what else they can do. They need another scorer. Dougie McBuckets is their second-best scoring option right now?? Dumbleavy? Yikes.

Can't keep looking for these guys to come here year-after-year, only to keep getting shut out. They'll soon be running the risk of pissing off Noah and Thibs.

Currently constructed, they're just a deep Eastern Conference out. It's like **** hasn't changed. It's frustrating.

If Gasol leaves Lakers, Bulls can offer more than other contending teams (Thunder, Spurs, Heat) in pursuit.

Well...there's that, I guess?
