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

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

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?

assuming chandler and amare can stay healthy which they totally cannot the knicks prob just bought their way to the second round

hey in three more years they'll have bought themselves a title

if they ever have the chance to move melo for a better player whos demanding a trade they could be onto something, but idk two injury plagued big men on a v thin team is just not likely to pan work out

they REALLY need landry jones to not be terrible

troo

hope that pan works out for them

...toney douglas would be their starting PG?

then they'd have... iman shumpert, andy rautins (...)... um, bill walker. balkman.....

already read some saying knicks next move will be to trade a'mare for CP3

bill walker is a sleeper im tellin u!

Why would NOLA want A''m^ar''e? He has no knees and would try even less on a team he didn't want to be on.

4 real

love amares passion in ny btw

i would be hella depressed if amare got dumped

i don't think the knicks are gonna do that btw

i could see melo getting moved for paul, but thatd be folly too imho, both rondo+picks and curry would be better - rondo because hes cheaper and u get picks and curry cause he has a vv high ceiling

and so it begins

WojYahooNBA: As SI reports, the Lakers, Hornets and Rockets are engaged in 3-way talks on deal that would send Chris Paul to Lakers.

obvs curry is the best out o the proposed trades ive seen

WojYahooNBAAdrian Wojnarowski

The Lakers are trying to do a deal for Chris Paul that will allow them to keep Andrew Bymum, front office source says.

so, rockets are getting pau, and hornets are getting a bunch of shit from the rockets?

do the rockets have some sick picks or something

umm knowing morey they probably do
