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

and dallas isn't unloading dirk, any more than miami is unloading wade.

this would be so insane, dont think its possible w/o moving dirk but still my god

if they amnesty haywood (which they will) and find a taker for marion, they're like 2m away from being able to offer both max free agent deals.

they'd have dirk, dominique jones and beaubois under contract for a total of about 24.5m. I think you have to add in 9 or 10 minimum cap holds at 500k so that's about 29m. that leaves them about 29m under the cap. get rid of jones and beaubois (which should be easy) and you're just about there.

Pretty conspicuous to me that they've worked so hard to clear out space for two max slots and not one.

cuban's made no attempt to hide his plans, IIRC. i just didn't think it was possible under the new system, but i'm not sure.

wow srs

I'm hoping that happens just because I've moved to Dallas. I would find a way to catch a few games in person even though I'm very poor at the moment.

that team would be the best team ever, i cant even really digest it

all about that possibility, prayin for it

@WallaceNBA_ESPN Even with all of his wealth, Dwyane Wade might have a hard time granting 1 of his young sons Xmas wishes: "He wants a real life elf."

My roommate woke me up with absurdly loud sex (two closed doors, 15ft hallway) on the worst possible day so she's taking me to the Mavs opener w/ excellent seats. Not a bad deal.

Nice!

sry abt having sex w/yr roommate and 104 other women two closed doors and a 15ft hallway away, take u to a mavs game sometime

big lols @ bynum's sentencing getting reduced

man srsly only five teams employ the classic crew neck, the rest is garbage

so the celtics are set to start sasha pavlovic tomorrow, pierce is out w/a minor injury, theres no way this team doesnt get blown up mid season is there, rip

they're just going to play frustrating, good-but-never-great ball, get like a 5th seed, and get beat in the playoffs.

feel like if theres anyone w/the stones to scuttle this ship its my mans danny, other possibility/personal fantasy is they have a wink wink nudge nudge deal w/kg n ray to resign for the minimum, allowing them to get some sweet free agents next year, thatd be cool

anyway i wouldnt at all be surprised if the celtics had a totally different team by the end of the season

yeah i wouldnt be surprised; they're getting blown up after the season anyway so if he can get in on a sweet deal i imagine he'll just do it.

It's been a crazy journey, but I'm very proud and honored to officially be a Boston Celtic!! Thanks everybody for all the support!

i think i'm going to start using my twitter to only tweet @gregstiemsma

got to think they could peel some young dudes/draft picks off a contender for kg or rays services - plus he really wants to trade rondo for whatever reason - trading pierce is not something i want to think abt

Where can I find roommates like this?

a roommate that will have absurdly loud sex with you then take you to a basketball game, can one search for this on craigslist

Apparently having make-up sex with milo was out of the question, CC. That's why the tix.

weird, seemed like the grizz really liked greivis

Adrian Wojnarowski
New Orleans has traded Quincy Pondexter to the Memphis Grizzlies for Greivis Vasquez, a league source tells Y! Sports.

Grievis is terrible

yeah he's not very good + they needed PFs after arthur's injuy

bonzi wells cut :(

aw, strangely rooting for the bonz

Bonzi should go play in Russia, or Turkey, or Israel, or China, or Italy.

Watched Airplane! last night, and got the impression that Blake Griffin might take some of his acting cues from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. #studentofthegame

have to go to my aunt's house tomorrow, gonna miss most of the games :(

basketball tomorrow ho ho ho

going out for xmas but using post-surgery owies to leave early and come home for hoopz
