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

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.

yeah the celtics could be v good but the hornets become a much worse team, celtics would obv need to sweeten the deal jho posted or add another team or two to the mix

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

glad the nba is going this route

WindhorstESPN Brian Windhorst
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.

gilbert

baron

oh yeah gil duh

i dunno if i can emotionally handle a rondo trade after last years perkins disaster (miss u boo) but cp3 would really handily fill in everything the very rapidly aging big three are missing

dude was a motherfucker last year even on a giant knee brace

and there's something appealing about letting danny and doc get their hooks in him all season to possibly sign beyond the rental

he would certainly be an enormous improvement should he stay healthy & his assist stats should be insane with a team of ppl who can actually shoot/score, how he did it with that bum NOLA team for so long is amazing

Cool t-shirt, Kobes.

KOBE!!

his daughters are cute

sb kobels

• Talented wing who can shoot, defend and finish. Has skills to be great defender.
• Held back by mental game and poor handle. Turnover- and mistake-prone.
• Gaining a rep for selfish play. Will take poor shots. Rarely passes.

nick young

paul george?

thaddeus young?

monta ellis?

are ellis and young "wings?"

this particular guy impressed me as a 6th-man type on a contender a couple years ago, but his stock fell enough that he was traded and is sort of forgotten now.

ah, is it ariza?
