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

mavs are gonna sign VC? lol

noted all-NBA defender vince carter

i'm not saying it's going to happen but i am saying that ainge is a crazy person

i mean they don't have much cap room right?

moonbop = polyphonic?

no

If the Warriors want a center who can't shoot free throws, why get Jordan when they already have Biedrins?

hmmm

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
As @Daldridgetnt reports, David West close w/ Celtics. Y! Sources say sides working on a sign-and-trade for a 3-year, $27-29M deal.

cuz biedrins is kinda just terrible all around

well this is quite the fucking coup

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Celtics likely send Jermaine O'Neal and another player to New Orleans in sign-and-trade, sources said. Hornets would move players elsewhere.

johnhollinger John Hollinger
I'm baffled. David West deal would appear to kill the 3-way CP3 trade. Hornets can't take on any $ in West deal and still do CP trade.

stern veto forthcoming presumably

is KG gonna pay the 5...?

lol i just was copying that hollinger tweet

Biedrins is a total headcase. Deandre is just an idiot.

So do you think he can help them? It seems like a lot of money for a guy who had the benefit of playing with Griffin.

seriously tho I don't get how david west being traded for jermaine flippin oneal is fine but the blessed finger of stern comes down on paul for some actual pieces.

I'm sure the three teams can make the deal work with NOH taking on less salary. In fact, that's what the nba has basically demanded anyway. The O'Neal deal shouldn't affect it.

Oden is averaging 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds over 82 career games.

No I don't like it at all. Deandre has no offensive skills, is a dumb player in general, and his defense is really overrated because of shotblocking. He's Javale McGee with less upside imo.

Biedrins is not a basketball player

No Referrer (can't tell)

I don't know about his "head" but he sucks at everything that a basketball player is supposed to do

Biedrins I mean. Can he just retire for the good of ball, ffs?

he's a great rebounder, has surprisingly nimble post moves.

but ever since he got paid he hasn't cared about the game at all.

the fuck is even going on here

SherrodbCSN: Source close to J. O'Neal said if he's traded to NOH, he'll ask to be waived, & look to sign with MIA

lol @ "Source to close to J. O'Neal" btw

Is Matt Armstrong the Geir of ILH?

Celtics I guess have a three man front court rotation comprised of three forwards and no centers lol?

I like west and bass tho, quality dudes

wtf does jermaine think he'll do for the heat other than be lebron's Gatorade taster

lol prob be the starting center tbh

it's hilarious considering he started that fight w/ wade in the playoffs

What's up w/hollinger and turiaf btw most of his tweets today have just been him yelling turiaf!

Nba is pushing people over the edge

Is Matt Armstrong the Geir of ILH?

wtf dude. how much biedrins did you watch in 07 or 08?

lol it's cuz they need to move him to sign chandler

yeah i mean i think there was whispers of them dropping the amnesty on him, he's really not that great

not sure they need deandre jordan, tho

Huh yah looks like jermaine was still playing ~30mpg even in 09-10. Seems like he's been occupying the bench for a few years though.

Lol ah so xp

Biedrins sucks but he's talented.

he was third in rebounds per 36 in 07/08 for a reason: he's a good rebounder.

think JO might be disappointed

SuryaHeatNBA: The Heat would rather sign Alonzo Mourning than Jermaine O'Neal.

Biedrins sucks but he's talented.

Yep

wow he sucks but he's talented. is this the yahoo sports comments section

totes

I said he was a great rebounder with surprising post moves who also is a headcase. What part do you disagree with?

Biedrins' best seasons were pretty clearly better than Deandre, but since then he's just gone off the rails and is a total headcase now. But saying he's a great rebounder who has started sucking since he got paid isn't being "the Geir of ILH" it's the fucking standard story about Biedrins.
