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

i mean saying kevin love would be a better fit is potentially true, but it's also a total fantasy that never could've happened, so it's kind of stupid to argue about

you don't think they could have flipped bosh for love midseason?

They just have to fit together better than the heat's trio, which is a low standard to meet.

yeah but this isn't true at all

It couldn't have happened cuz bron and wade would have been butthurt I guess.

also cuz why would david khan trade for chris bosh's max deal?

i mean this is getting somewhere close to friday afternoon bill simmons level of fantasy inanity

why the hell would minnesota do this?

because Kahn thought Love sucked until the middle of last season.

matt offtm about everything except kevin love, just jizzed myself thinking about that

this is ridiculous and you know it--the contracts make up for any perceived issues with kevin love

after the 09-10 season the Wolves front office had a film session and concluded that the only player who looked like an nba starter to them was Darko.

i mean you could make the argument that khan would trade kevin love bcuz there's little shot that he'll sign an extension there, but i'm pretty sure that khan would be looking for someone better than chris bosh

i said this on twitter but my grandma got me a cp3 clips jersey for xmas ^_^ *rocks*

yeah grandma!

clips-warriors might be most anticipated game of the day

dude, Kahn hated Love. He thought Love was really overrated. Love began the 10-11 season struggling to get more than 30 minutes. Everything changed with the 30-30 game.

anyway i think you could easily make the argument that the leauge is wide open for the heat this year -- the bulls should give them a tough test, but i don't see any team in the west beating them -- the heat are a terrible match up for okc, imo

yup

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the mavs are punting this year, the lakers don't have a shot. clippers will be good, but not good enough. idk. if the bulls can't manage to beat the heat i think they might walk to the title.

Whomever decided to give Mullins a microphone should be drawn and quartered.

the mavs are punting this year

but starting next year, mavs will win the next 15 straight titles.

i'm still pretty skeptical of the mavs' ability to get those three guys -- i think both the lakers and magic will make a panic trade before the deadline

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds -- More strange but true: Heat tied a franchise-worst with 8 points in the fourth quarter today

i return to my previous opinion that the heat will only win 26 games this year.

i could totally see deron going there tho

if lakers give up bynam and gasol, they're crazy.

not that dwight howard isn't worth it, but their cubbard will be pretty bare beyond howard and an aging kobe.

smh at u mavs doubters

i don't doubt the mavs!

i just hate mark cuban.

ahh, here is the commercial that cements my hatred.

agree with you here. The worst matchup for the heat is probably the grizzlies!

Deron growing up in DFW might be a plus, but some guys don't like playing at home.

smh at u mavs doubters

the lakers are gonna give up the ransom for dwight when they reach the trade deadline and they're the 5th seed in the west and the clippers are the hottest team in the nba. watch.

clippers are the hottest team in the nba.

this statement is true, but still is astounding to me.

I don't know what the hell the Lakers are doing tbh

Like when Jim Buss says they're not giving up both Pau and Bynum I'm inclined to believe him, since he just gave up Odom for air.

LOL WELCOME BACK NBA HAPPY CHRISTMAS SO MANY POSTS

the warriors are a god damn mess

This game is SLOPPY on both ends. Ugly ball all around.

Udoh looks like he should be in the d league

udoh was such a jordan hill pick

klay thompson also looks kinda terrible

THERE IT IS

mark jackson pulling out the starters early really doing wonders here.

Warriors play defense like their coach did; get in position but then matador away from contact.

mark jackson is an nba coach, p sure that means i can be president of the world if i want

That lookin on Jackson's huddle was illuminating. He was this close to breaking out a hand down, man down.

wow that dude #12 is a freaking midget

green accents to the red clips uniforms is a nice touch

mark jackson is an nba coach, p sure that means i can be president of the world if i want

no you cannot! this is not even a real job title, i think.

mark jackson's "wired" segment was funny ("c'mon now. execute. execute!").

i will be president of the world! ill show u

who will be your secretary of infinity?
