I wonder what houston is giving up, if anything? anyway, great deal for them.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
I guess the plan all along was a gasol brothers tandem, that would have been so fun.
gasol/scola/valuncinas is a hilarious/great frontcourt
― v-shasty, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
you mean motiejunas?
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah
i mean what's the difference, but yeah
― v-shasty, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
would gasol/scola be the first all-international frontcourt in the league?
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
did you get to see his awesome post-draft press conference where he basically challenged Dwight Howard to try to block him?
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
lol i don't recall

There's a huge difference! Valanciunas is gritty and works his butt off, Motiejunas is a pretty boy with skillz.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
“Dwight Howard, these guys are strong, strong men,” McHale said. “The first time you play against Dwight Howard, you’ll understand a lot better.”
Still, when Motiejunas was asked if he was ready to make the jump to the NBA, he basically said bring it on.
“I just want to say maybe one word now about the thing about Dwight Howard,” Motiejunas said. “He can push me. If he can catch me, then we’ll see.”
Hearing this, McHale said: “Easy big boy, easy. They got TVs in Orlando.”
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
yeah good luck w/ that
― v-shasty, Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:46 (twelve years ago) link
lol he weighs 215 lbs and is 7'0
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
from youtube highlights he looks like a candyass
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
The 'skinny' on Motiejunas is that he he doesn't push himself very hard. He definitely needs to meet Dwight Howard and then, yes, "we'll see".
― Aimless, Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
Motiejunas has Bargnani written all over him.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
btw, rockets beat writers think that Memphis will probably just match the Gasol offer.

Timmy's a US citizen right? and I guess by international I meant "players who played first in overseas leagues" xp
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
Timmy had the choice to play for States or Virgin Islands. Chose the States.
Yao and Scola fit the criteria.

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds -- For all who keep thinking Chauncey Billups will be a Heat guard soon, just stop. There's maybe -- maybe -- a 1% chance.
so, what you're saying is . . . THERE'S A CHANCE?

his career stats don't seem very impressive for someone his size (6 points 5 rebounds). i don't know too much about him -- maybe he's got great potential? and, obv., can't teach size.
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 11 December 2011 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
ah, right.
hahpros: big, young, athletic, rebounds well, blocks shots, gets along well with otherscons: no basketball skills, abysmal ft shooter
― OOOO, Sunday, 11 December 2011 23:47 (twelve years ago) link
he dunks like a motherfucker, blocks shots, fits well with blake as far as my barely basketball savvy mind can perceive

"I don't like it," said Bryant. "To be honest with you, I don't like it."
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 00:20 (twelve years ago) link

Late Saturday night, Odom's wife and reality TV co-star, Khloe Kardashian, tweeted, "I am curious as to how I am the cause for any trade?"
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
As Bryant continued to answer questions about Odom joining the team that swept the Lakers out of the second round of the playoffs last spring, his anger grew.
"Now I'm getting pissed off," he said.
