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

lol he weighs 215 lbs and is 7'0

from youtube highlights he looks like a candyass

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".

Motiejunas has Bargnani written all over him.

btw, rockets beat writers think that Memphis will probably just match the Gasol offer.

would gasol/scola be the first all-international frontcourt in the league?

Duncan and Oberto

memphis def needs to keep marc

i always forget that marc went to high school in memphis

Timmy's a US citizen right? and I guess by international I meant "players who played first in overseas leagues" xp

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?

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- DeAndre Jordan has signed a 4 year, $43 million offer sheet with Golden State, agent Greg Lawrence tells Y!

hmm

that's going to be matched

clippers have 3 days to match, yeah.

If you are tall and can kinda sorta play you are getting paid this year.

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.

ah, right.

hah
pros: big, young, athletic, rebounds well, blocks shots, gets along well with others
cons: no basketball skills, abysmal ft shooter

he dunks like a motherfucker, blocks shots, fits well with blake as far as my barely basketball savvy mind can perceive

gilbert arenas cleared waivers. free to sign anywhere.

QBKILLA Warren Sapp
Church's $$$$ On The Ground!! #TebowTime

I keep on forgetting that the clippers have potential now cuz of blake

"I don't like it," said Bryant. "To be honest with you, I don't like it."

:)

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?"

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.

lol kobe's comments are, like, 8 news cycles ago but i see you're fond of it.

i'm also happy to see kobe so upset!

sry i went to the movies today so I missed like 25 news cycles

eh really you'd want a guy alongside blake who could shoot. or shoot fts.

how many of those guys are there?

sry i went to the movies today so I missed like 25 news cycles

no problem fyi dwight howard is now a clipper blake griffin is now a timberwolf and lebron james is now a net.

eh probably about as many as there are good shotblockers.

marc gasol is getting a max deal from the rockets? !_!

this made me lol

Hornets asking for E Gordon, Kaman, Bledsoe, Aminu and 2 1st round picks, sources say

no pony?

why the hell ask for kaman

really it's pretty similar to the melo deal, which I'm sure went into their thinking there.

Kamen deal up at the end of the year. Could flip him or move Emeka if they keep him. He's a chip, if a flawed and damaged one, and if DeAndre "no discernable basketball ability" Jordan can get 40+ million Chris will be worth something to someone.

this has to be some bullshit

If they only get Minny's pick it's a helluva deal.

i mean... gordon, bledsoe, aminu AND two picks. i'm sorry, but no.

Out of the two they're asking for, that is.

chris paul is good but that's crazy

Why is it too much? Gordon is solid, eventually maybe an all-star, but the others are just potential. NOLA is trading the best PG in the game, and he's only 26.

Yeah but his knees, he's still amazing obv, but he lost that wicked first step

just how bad are his knees!

chris paul has never struck me as somebody who gets by on pure athleticism - he's not the quickest guy at his height and he's got pretty short limbs

But Paul & Blake together? you give up most anything for that combo.

i mean you're essentially trading three top 10 picks, a top 20 pick, and then two MORE first round picks for one player

idk man

for 2 years of chris paul
