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

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.

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

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.

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

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

JR smith's role in our world is to spice up awful teams.

haha when ilx comes back jr smith is so not gonna be in the thread title

Paul to Clips is a done deal.

glad clips picked billups off waiver

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.

xp to myself

not that gordon will re-sign with NOLA

glad clips picked billups off waiver

billups meets with clips management tonight. buyout likely. he'll then be a total free-agent.

O_O

RicBucher
Shrewd move by LAC, claiming Billups. Reduced need for CP3, so Clips get him for less than NOH/Stern wanted. (No Bledsoe + 2 future 2nds.)

was just about to post that. amazing that LAC is making shrewd moves.

or any moves at all, that cost money.

so: on chauncey billups watch tonight.

or any moves at all, that cost money.

Sterling has been spending money for a few years (baron davis lol)

oh yeah, baron davis lol.

well, i hope billups gets his buyout. no forced trade. no forced retirement.

Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo -- Agent Andy Miller tells Yahoo! that Clippers won't be waiving Chauncey Billups.

well, there goes that.

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds -- Baron Davis officially amnestied by Cleveland.

*drafts kyrie irving*

theo ratliff to retire; miss you theo ;_;

chauncey is now their backup shooting guard! dude should stay!

also it is ON in clipperland

retire in peace theo.

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds -- The Chris Paul trade has not fallen apart yet, setting a new NBA longevity record. Previous mark: 22 minutes.

love this tim reynolds. he's plucky!

Chris Paul also now needs to follow in the Donald Tokowitz (Sterling) tradition and change his name to Chris Phenomenal.
