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

w/o a doubt

Here's Pierce on Ray Allen: "He’s definitely my inspiration, just the way he’s been consistently great, at his age of 42." (Ray is 36, BTW)

haaaaaa nice

looool

oh wolvies, u keep my offseasons full of lols, and my regular seasons full of ;_;

also i guess rudy fernandez wants to come to the wolves?

someone wants to play for the wolves

feels good, don't it?

why start at the 2 for the defending champs when you can go back up Jamal Crawford in Minnesota.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- Y! Sources: The Orlando Magic end trade discussions for Dwight Howard, plan to start the season with him in the lineup.

Nets offered everything they could for Howard: Brook Lopez + FIVE 1st Rd picks. Theirs in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 + Rockets 2012 pick.

orlando must think they can convince howard to stay.

you know who must be happy? mavericks and/or lakers.

wow that is insane, magic stood to make out REALLY well in that deal (they got gerald wallace too)

anyway guess the nuggets can afford to max out nene since the rest of the team is in china

their starting lineup is literally gonna be nene, danino gallinari and a box of crackers

I predict the Nuggets go in for youth in a big way. Really cheap youths that are easy to dump later on.

magic are so stupid, honestly. i hope dwight announces his free agency at the presser following their first-round loss

i mean let me clarify wallace/lopez/picks is still probably a hosing but come on...he's leaving next year and they're gonna get nothing

We need to establish a betting line on dwight leaving orlando, so we can put this on a scientific basis: he's outta there.

Guys they can still trade dwight

Blazers can only offer them Camby and a fistful of gravel atm, so I will feign like I don't care (unless he ends up in L.A. - bad cess on them).

lol @ all those first round picks

Guys they can still trade dwight

midseason i guess. maybe if the lakers are sucking they'll be willing t blow themselves up for dwight

So the season is going to start with Howard in Orlando and Paul in NO. Bravo, NBA.

would be really funny if NO and Orlando just traded paul and howard for each other

yeah just for kicks

just as a joke

yeah. even better if david stern then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then voided and un-voided the trade, then forced them both to play for the raptors, but only one could play each night, and with only two other players on the court for toranto.

man, what if all the picks were unprotected? With Prokhorov, definitely possible right?

Dallas only needs to clear like 10m more to be able to offer max deals to Howard and Deron and keep Dirk, btw.

dude no. Lawson is awesome, they still have Miller, they can match any offer for Afflalo.

lol for some reason I thought lawson was in china under one of those no-out contracts

They might add Chandler in March, as well.

Losing JR Smith and Kenyon Martin = addition by subtraction.

smh cant believe you dissed JR like that

deez nuts all up in your face

lol well j0rd will obviously start the real ILX 2011-2012 season thread

why keep bledsoe instead of aminu idgi

one thing I like about this deal for the clippers: Paul will make deandre look soooo good.

StephenCurry30
Looks like our scouting report for opening night just changed

clips are gonna be fun as hell to watch this year

they have 4 quality point guards now tho lol

hornets got really good value too idc what anyone says

fivethirtyeightNate Silver

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin would go 66-0 in NBA Jam.
