J.R. Smith has literally been shanghaied away for the foreshortened 2011-2012 NBA season: rolling ILH sandbox thread

ah, but will they?

im not ready to be trolled, still adjusting to the reality of a basketball season

lol

the article does make some sense, if you assume that bynum is the key return player in any trade for CP3 or howard. only one bynum to trade.

Lakers missed out on the championship series last post-season. Bryant has no knees left to speak of. In L.A. that means they are definitely thinking about rebuilding asap. I'm pretty sure they'd take Howard of CP3, if given a choice. Dominating centers have always been L.A.'s preferred building block.

and the howard-to-lakers rumor has been there for a while.

but, shockingly, new jersey has good pieces to trade, lots of cap space, and a fine player (dwill) who is friends with howard and who would like to play together. so . . . . .

also howard is like 1mx more valuable going forward

i may be mistaking, but it appears as if you just called one of the lopez twins "a good piece to trade"

the nets had good peices to trade, that's how they got deron williams

why isn't brook lopez a good trading piece?

hes like an ok player, dwight howard is the 2nd best player

at some point someone will offer an actually legit young player and/or a v top draft pick

and no bynum is not actually legit

i'd take, like, kentucky's entire line up over brook lopez. i'd let howard walk and aim for the lottery over going "welp, i guess it's brook lopez then!"

i don't disagree, but at the moment, those two players -- lopez and bynum -- are the "centerpieces" of a potential trade for d. howard. in the abstract, yeah, someone should give a superstar in their prime for howard, but that's not what's happening at the moment.

chicago also wants in on the howard trade discussions, BTW. they really are offering noah and other pieces. i think what i read was "any two players on chicago's roster besides rose."

brook lopez was a 20 & 10 center two years ago

know he stunk it up last year but he's one of the few legit 7 footers in the liggue

I think orlando should trade dwight for kevin love

just to stick it to dwight

even if it didn't work out monetarily

sorry dwight, you're stuck in cold minnesota

DWIGHT HOWARD FOR MIKE MILLER AND JUWAN HOWARD

fair value!

im gonna go out on a limb and say today is the only day of the season that the espn nba page features a montage including greg oden and vince carter

cut to three months from now when they both tear their acls during warmups of a blazers / Knicks game

(u know Vince will end up 10th man on the Knicks you just know)

for the first day that NBA teams can talk to players about contracts and moving teams, things seem very quiet.

too quiet.

I'm happy Marbury got his shit together somewhat.

aw that's a nice story!

you guys, can I talk about college hoops for a hot second

the #25 team in the country right now is... Harvard

o_O

a new era has dawned.

they beat two good ass teams down in cancun or aruba or wherever they were

i read this as, "they beat two good 'ass-teams.'"

well, florida state is a good ass team and a good, ass-team. so it fits.

they beat defending champs Utah, Florida State and Central Florida

totally boggling over here

maybe its just like some other school that has the same name

university of Harvard at dallas

or that place method man and redman went

only starbury could go to china

marbury uses a lot of semicolons when he speaks!

haha derrick rose sucks http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/05/a-new-challenge-for-rose-and-the-bulls

if you can read that entire post you should prob just drive off a cliff

idk the expected outcome of that decision is p inefficient as far as remaining alive goes

sry that was a poorly formed joke, but u get the idea

if you can read that entire post you should prob just drive off a cliff
