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

was he injured?

i know he's 33 and all . . .

Pat Riley needs to check on the whole concept of aging

hm. DON'T BE SO CRYPTIC.

maybe riley is thrown off cuz he's looked the exact same for the past 20 years

Yah prob

Although he'll be of more utility once they trade bron

you are of one mind.

you are unanimous in your opinion.

Yup just me and the best basketball writer

he just says it makes sense, not that it's going to happen.

I think u might be misunderstanding my whole posting style

one of many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many (n.1) things in life misunderstand.

dammit, things in life i misunderstand.

like sentence construction, apparently.

I mean a world in which bron gets moved for Howard is a world that has justice

Lol this guy http://deadspin.com/5866262

lol JUSTICE lol

Just us

chrisperk Chris Perkins -- Hearing a slimmer Eddy Curry will sign w/Heat on Friday. Flying in today from Chicago to meet with Pat Riley.

curry's been dieting; down to 142 pounds.

lmao i understand pat doesnt have much $$$ to work w/but come on man

temporary move.

besides, curry did have good years (20/7, IIRC). maybe we'll be pleasently surprised.

more likely he'll cook and eat shane battier shortly after he arrives in miami, tho.

hes hella talented but you dont recover from being eddy curry for the last ten years

lol @ this

hes hella talented but you dont recover from being eddy curry for the last ten years

sadly, he's been eddy curry all his life

its true, rip eddy curry, long live eddy curry

optimistic about this -- he definitely has talent, and on the heat he basically just needs to be big. assuming the heat will be able to control his weight

i mean i assume they're not going to be paying him much, so it can't be any better or worse than, like, what the celtics have with jermaine o neal

did you guys know that the fifth highest paid player on the celtics this season is rasheed wallace

optimistic about this -- he definitely has talent, and on the heat he basically just needs to be big. assuming the heat will be able to control his weight

i'm optimistic for the heat, but moreso for miami's local restaurants. this is like a recession-busting move. thank you, miami heat.

seriously, i'm optimistic, too. pittman's weight is waaay down and his conditioning is waaay up under the heat's program. curry may be a bust, but he'll be pushed -- hard -- to stay in shape.

Shane Battier -- This was a exciting process and after much deliberation, I would like to quote the great poet Jimmy Buffett and take my chances "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season."

I like Shane, but I'm worried that changes in latitudes will bring changes in attitudes.

so it can't be any better or worse than, like, what the celtics have with jermaine o neal

BREAKING: Greg Oden will be a Trail Blazer next season. Agent Bill Duffy says Oden will sign 1-year qualifying offer on Friday for $8.9 mil

BREAKING: Greg Oden

That's gonna be the title of his autobiography.

:)

hahaha

damn *tips hat*

apparently the knicks are now the leading suitors for tyson chandler

how much money would he be giving up?

oh man battier you are really trying to test my good will toward you because you will now have been both a duke and a heat

like most of the new rule changes btw, ripthrough rule seems well considered also

discontinued or hesitation dribbles as automatic violations

should mean the crab dribble finally gets called a travel and this

Referees also will be hyper-vigilant about defenders making contact with offensive players when they're in the air and fully extended attempting to score.

means dont even think about trying to andrew bynum a little guard in the air

atta boy, joe

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Tayshaun Prince will sign a four year, $27 million dollar deal to stay with Detroit, league sources tell Y! Sports.

also, uh, tyson chandler is signing w/ the knicks and they're dumping billups

that is really weird i just dont know

i mean the knicks i cant even begin

the knicks have mike d'antoni at coach and will have zero (0) point guards

yeah. if the NYK lose billups and gain chandler, i wonder how they stack-up in the east. they'd be good, obv.

yeah. that's my thought, too.

chandler is good but like, he's not THAT good

he's not going to single-handedly will a d'antoni team to play defense which i guess is what they expect?
