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

lol imagine tony's revenge against john hollinger

oh the hate this board will spews forth if that trade happens would be so amazing

lol what trade its impossible for them to get both, unlikely theyll get one

i saw someone on twitter say this and it was otm (paraphrasing): "not even the lakers could pull off asking for two of the five best players in the NBA while still saying 'our best player isn't available'"

haha yep

Yeah them getting cp3 and D12 is far fetched but I know you guys were a shook just reading about the possibility of it

it occurs to me that another motivation for the heat to move bron for dwight is it prevents other contenders from getting him while parking bron in a spot where hes harmless

it kills me to admit it but that team would be a blast to watch.

eh i think we need some more teams involved here orlando and nola arent gonna want old ass odom and gasol, but someone else might

M. World Piece

yeah, a team with kobe trying to assert his superiority over two other great players that stand around and watch him fling fadeaways at the rim would be a blast to watch.............

not sure we've ever seen that before with the lakers

xp i can't wait for marv albert to say that

Peace* obv, sorry I can't type, albert pujols has me shook

i think kobes would be on good behavior for a while at least

So World Peace is his last name? Both words will appear on his jersey? So awesome.

for some reason the trade machine wouldnt give me a ruling on this one but u get the idea

yeah i would totally ask for his jersey for christmas if he wasn't on the lakers :( xps

i find the concept of the celtics renting paul for the season VERY INTERSTING particularly since theyd have only paul pierce and lol avery bradley under contract next year lmao

dude i still think it is awesome that hollinger wrote about that trade using basically your rationale

yeah im feelin p good abt that

guys... guys

If Chris Paul wants a ring I think this year's Celtics wouldn't be a bad idea. They'd have to be one of the favorites with what he would add to the mix. Then, if he likes the organization, he could choose to get max money from them; if not, sign where he wants.

Plus it would make me happy.

honestly i think it's possible the magic end up being a worse team because of this, i mean defensively for sure

yeah but if dwight is leaving anyway theyre getting 1mx more value than theyll get in any other other trade

and they can retool around bron

tru

poor bron

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

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

lol its his karma man *shrug*

(Random side note: There's one little free-agency tidbit everyone in Gotham seems to be glossing over in the CP mania -- while the Knicks don't have enough projected cap room for Paul or Deron Williams, New York absolutely has enough cap space to sign 2012 free agent and part-time Big Apple resident Steve Nash.)

hmmm

nash/amare reunion would be v touching

renting paul for a year might actually be PREFERABLE to locking him up long term as his knees could go any day now

its sad but likely hes not gonna be good for much longer

shut up!!

i dont like it any more than u!

but he like had the surgery last year that brandon roy had a couple years ago

Going to be a lot of big matchups: Heat to play Lakers & Thunder twice. Will play Bulls & Celtics 4 times.

• Gunning guard deluded by past glory. More dangerous on Twitter than on court.
• Upgraded defensive effort. Has good size for point guard but fouls too much.
• Good outside shooter off catch. Instinctive scorer, but takes bad shots.
