yeah they need a center -- also might have to replace martin w/ someone

looking out for the heat. since, as you know, our big center acquisition is . . . oh never mind.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
overall that's a pretty good if totally weird deal for NO

yeah i mean, not much is happening for the future, but nothing ever was. martin, scola, odom are three good pieces
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
i mean
jarret jackkevin martintrevor arizalouis scolaemeka okafor
+ odom
you could have worse teams
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:28 (twelve years ago) link
that's not a playoff team most likely but it's not the worst team in the world

RT @johnhollinger Hornets would need to renounce David West to make this trade work as reported.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:29 (twelve years ago) link
well if they were picking up two power forwards in the deal, they probably would
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
Ha look at that line-up, it's a team of trade throw-ins! They're just completely being used as a fence for actual teams!
― ~occubarn~ (clay), Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
scola is pretty awesome
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
i keep confusing him with the local (and outstanding) miami circuit court judge who just got elevated to the third district court of appeals bench.
i picture him in his judicial robe, lobbing a pass to odom.

houston still has tons of cap room -- gasol's salary is 19m, but they're unloading 22m b/w scola and martin
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah <3 scola just saying the league should have started running a team for the purpose of trade facilitation ages ago
― ~occubarn~ (clay), Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
houston's roster is for real so hilarious, i can never get over it
they have jonny flynn, hasheem thabeet and jordan hill on the same team!!!
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:35 (twelve years ago) link
and terrence williams!
bah. i want nene or dalembert on the heat. stop chasing them, houston rockets!
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:35 (twelve years ago) link
and yes, i realize we "don't have" the "cap space" to sign them. whatevs. make it happen.
i was just staring at the computer screen for 3 mins going "when the fuck did the rockets get goran dragic????????" but then i realized i was confusing him w/ marcin gortat
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:36 (twelve years ago) link
plz tell me morey is gonna go after marc

SherrodbCSN: Celtics were confident they were of landing Paul. Source says they were already planning a physical for him.
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:43 (twelve years ago) link
oh right i forgot baot aminu, he's nice but seems like he should be a sixth man
yeah its kind of a lot of money for butler but i bet its going to be eclipsed by some legendary bad contracts in the next few days
might have a whiff of the cavalier's parade of bad signings to "convince" lebron to "stay" about it, except in this case lebron is blake
― concussion section, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
aminu will need to be the 6th man because they dont really have one

oh for christs sakes just when this was shaping up to be a good day
― cad, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:47 (twelve years ago) link
i'm already bored by chris paul as a laker. he needs to leave LA, to shake off the doldrums and rejuvenate his career.
next free-agent signing please!
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
so, if the lakers DON'T get howard, this is a pretty massive risk. they're gonna go into the season, at least at the moment, with one big man who has had a myriad of knee injuries his entire career. oh btw, did we mention that we're trying to cram 66 games into four and a half months and that's not even including the playoffs?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:49 (twelve years ago) link
yep.
Russ Bengtson @russbengtson -- Sounds like the NBA is using their amnesty on the Hornets.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:50 (twelve years ago) link
if the lakers do get howard, the only way they could lose would be for kobe to submarine the team
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:50 (twelve years ago) link
which, you know, *fingers crossed*
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
so you think howard on LA puts them far over miami?
just seems like both teams have odd chemistry and roster issues.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
howard -- (who are their forwards?) -- kobe -- paul.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
i would be scared of a team where dwight howard was the third best option on offense, yes
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
i don't disagree. but constructing their team that way leaves them with gaping holes at two starting spots, just like the issue miami faces.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
yeah, very very good, but just like miami's construction (with players at different spots, obv).
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:54 (twelve years ago) link
the lakers are abandoning the triangle right?

well right but "players at different spots" is a big thing cuz the lakers three would all be playing traditional roles
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
waht it's nothing like miami's construction!
― cad, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
it is, in terms of how a team spends its money.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
i mean certainly the heat could win but paul and howard getting split up would be much, much better for them
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, December 8, 2011 5:55 PM (3 seconds ago) Bookmark Permalink
yeah but this isn't really the point
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:56 (twelve years ago) link
shannon brown signed with the suns? tmac is a hawk? this is so great and random
― concussion section, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
Based on their coaching hire I assume the Lakers are abandoning an offense all together. Just pick and roll, pick and roll, isolation, pick and pop, pick and roll, isolation.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
u fools are forgetting that mike brown is coaching this team, which means Kobe is coaching this team which means implosion time is imminent

yeah... still interested in the dynamics of kobe playing w/ a PG as good as paul
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
kobe + paul have, like, one or one and a half good knees b/w them
