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

(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?

no but that type of guy

agahgh feel like this guy is on the tip of my tongue

never was quite as good as ariza but prob had more potential

jeff green, lol

no but that's a good guess too

i don't see myself ever repping for jeff green

i might rep for him if he legally changed his name to "jeff green, lol"

moar hints

Kobe wearing a Kobe t-shirt

I mean, duh, of course

is it... HEDO???

no but you're real close

pietrus?

courtney lee?

hmmmmmmm

yup

totally forgot that they got rid of him

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski -- Paul has indicated Clippers and Warriors could raise chances of keeping him long-term if they sign center Tyson Chandler too, sources say.

feel like 'poor handle' is a strong clue

but every time I think 'big man with poor handle' I think of that clip of z-bo losing the handle on a cross and hoisting up an airball at the shot clock expiration

c'mon nba make your crazy trades and settle the storm. we have a fantasy draft on sunday.

totally forgot that they got rid of him
