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

apparently the knicks are now the leading suitors for tyson chandler
― k3vin k., Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
how much money would he be giving up?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
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 WojnarowskiTayshaun Prince will sign a four year, $27 million dollar deal to stay with Detroit, league sources tell Y! Sports.
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
also, uh, tyson chandler is signing w/ the knicks and they're dumping billups
that is really weird i just dont know
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
i mean the knicks i cant even begin
the knicks have mike d'antoni at coach and will have zero (0) point guards
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
yeah. if the NYK lose billups and gain chandler, i wonder how they stack-up in the east. they'd be good, obv.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah. that's my thought, too.
chandler is good but like, he's not THAT good
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:03 (twelve years ago) link
he's not going to single-handedly will a d'antoni team to play defense which i guess is what they expect?
― cad, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
assuming chandler and amare can stay healthy which they totally cannot the knicks prob just bought their way to the second round
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
hey in three more years they'll have bought themselves a title
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
they REALLY need landry jones to not be terrible
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:11 (twelve years ago) link
troo
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:11 (twelve years ago) link
hope that pan works out for them

...toney douglas would be their starting PG?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
then they'd have... iman shumpert, andy rautins (...)... um, bill walker. balkman.....
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
already read some saying knicks next move will be to trade a'mare for CP3
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:15 (twelve years ago) link

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.

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
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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

haha yeah i think you can basically post "breaking: any combination of any number of teams talking about trading or signing any vaguely reasonably available player" right now and and have a 90% chance of it being kinda true
hearing steve kerr talk about it on lol simmons podcast actually made me realize how crazy it is that gms have like ten seconds to read the new cba, figure out what they want (and have) and sign/negotiate/trade/cut etc etc etc
