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

I doubt boston gets paul for rondo. If Paul opens up the net to teams such as Boston I think that net would include teams that would make a better offer.

Now, if LA can just trade Bynum and scraps/picks for Howard, it's a good deal for LA

boston is likely willing to rent him for a year w/o any long term guarantee, so no opening of the net necessary

Why would Cs do that, if out costs them Rondo?

god, that would be pretty reckless xp

because its their only shot at another ring

wow. I don't like it, Rondo is too good to let go for a (great) rented player.

no he's not

yeah the big three are so fucking old and will be gone soon anyway, whatre you gonna do rebuild around rondo

also pauls knees are nearing competition

and hey if you want to resign him next year youve got a good shot

UNBUTU!

i mean we are all members of the rondo fan club but you don't want him to be even the third best player on yr team

NBA source tell me the Lakers did not approach other teams with cap space or trade exceptions before making the deal sending Odom to Dallas.

Any exception created by dealing Odom isn't big enough to take in Turkoglu. I'm not seeing LA's endgame here, nor why Dallas would help.

lol wut wait BALL

what is la getting back??

picks

Maybe Lamar just told LA to f--k off, and they felt they had to trade him?

Really a bizarre move, unless they can deal for Howard.

lol if the lakers dont get paul or howard kobes gonna mass murder the whole organization

why wouldnt the lakers wait and do the odom deal as part of a three way trade w/orlando if they can get howard, doesnt make sense

if you were going to trade odom for picks, Dallas is like the last team you'd go to. They own no picks other than their own and they haven't had a bad season in around a decade.

we r in a weird zone right now

hey jho what do you make of this

"We'll move Kevin," Rivers said. "He will play the 5 this year. I honestly don't think that it'll be a problem. When he was younger it would have been a problem."

"He's older, bigger, stronger and can play both positions and can spread the floor from that position," Rivers said. "He can play the whole game at center and it wouldn't bother me at all."

"I was fortunate enough to play in the big era [from 1983 to 1996]. Right now there's not many of them," he said of the dearth of big men. "Dwight (Howard) and (Andrew) Bynum are two that come to mind. I might be missing one or two."

I thought the return for odom was dallas' trade exception (so, money, not picks)

Man, after Odom and Bynum in the playoffs last season, Odom on the Mavs is going to be, uh, interesting.

wtf is even going ON

i recall people saying garnet didnt like playing center, tho he did a bunch in minny, but it is true there arent too many giant dudes to push him around left, idk

I don't recall him playing much center at all in Minny. and I was a hardcore minny fan from 98-2002 or so.

really i could be misremembering

He played a bunch of center last year after all the injuries. Not starter's minutes though, which is what I think he was always opposed to.

maybe it was after that tho, i think like that was part of his beef w/the organization, that he was playing too much center

lol he prob shouldnt be playing starters minutes at any position

They've signed Chris Wilcox to spell him so it should be fine.

the hornets have 6 players in camp.

chris wilcox, jeff green, david west - these guys all give off similar vibes

Stein is saying Clippers now in the lead for Chris Paul.

i would like the celtics to get paul, i support that

i agree and im not sure what i think about this vibe

I'm amazed that they've managed to make things seem even fishier and more corrupt.

i hated jeff green last year, apparently he played good defense but mostly he looked like he did nothing particularly well on the basketball court

yeah he was terrible

I missed him so much I followed Perk out to the mid-South. Only a little further away than I was from Boston.

Lakers will get the Mavs' first-round pick in 2012, maybe a second-rounder as well.

this is confusing

Pick 27 and 52! the sacrifices Cuban makes.
