feel like maybe they should quarantine the blazers until further notice
blazersedge: Aldridge should be back in 1–2 weeks after recurrence of heart condition. — Buchanan
Haha just came here to post that, j0rd.
Hahaha
Haha
ha
sounds like the warriors’ big move will be a huge offer for Deandre
so the blazers second best player retires, their first overall pick has a setback with his debilitating leg injury, and then their best player has heart surgery
quite the offseason so far...
hey even so the blazers are still better than the sixers
4 of the top 10 picks from the 2006 draft are now out of the league.
apparently the 29 owner vote dan gilbert wanted would have been collusion and a violation of the cba. Nice job, dan!

yeah what a bad year
celtics are signing david west??????????????
uhhh are they gonna amnesty kg?
the fuuuuuck
haha could you even imagine????
that would be some serious old school tea party shit
i mean i can because ainge does not give a fuck but other than that what the hell is the angle of having three power forwards who have all started for at least decent teams?
cannot comprehend amnestying KG
like if ainge did that ainge better hire the secret service to protect himself
mavs are gonna sign VC? lol
noted all-NBA defender vince carter
i’m not saying it’s going to happen but i am saying that ainge is a crazy person
i mean they don’t have much cap room right?
moonbop = polyphonic?
no
If the Warriors want a center who can’t shoot free throws, why get Jordan when they already have Biedrins?
hmmm
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
As @Daldridgetnt reports, David West close w/ Celtics. Y! Sources say sides working on a sign-and-trade for a 3-year, $27–29M deal.
cuz biedrins is kinda just terrible all around
well this is quite the fucking coup
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Celtics likely send Jermaine O’Neal and another player to New Orleans in sign-and-trade, sources said. Hornets would move players elsewhere.
johnhollinger John Hollinger
I’m baffled. David West deal would appear to kill the 3-way CP3 trade. Hornets can’t take on any $ in West deal and still do CP trade.
stern veto forthcoming presumably
is KG gonna pay the 5...?
lol i just was copying that hollinger tweet

Biedrins is a total headcase. Deandre is just an idiot.
So do you think he can help them? It seems like a lot of money for a guy who had the benefit of playing with Griffin.
seriously tho I don’t get how david west being traded for jermaine flippin oneal is fine but the blessed finger of stern comes down on paul for some actual pieces.
I’m sure the three teams can make the deal work with NOH taking on less salary. In fact, that’s what the nba has basically demanded anyway. The O’Neal deal shouldn’t affect it.
Oden is averaging 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds over 82 career games.

No I don’t like it at all. Deandre has no offensive skills, is a dumb player in general, and his defense is really overrated because of shotblocking. He’s Javale McGee with less upside imo.
Biedrins is not a basketball player
No Referrer (can’t tell)
I don’t know about his “head” but he sucks at everything that a basketball player is supposed to do
Biedrins I mean. Can he just retire for the good of ball, ffs?
he’s a great rebounder, has surprisingly nimble post moves.
but ever since he got paid he hasn’t cared about the game at all.
the fuck is even going on here
SherrodbCSN: Source close to J. O’Neal said if he’s traded to NOH, he’ll ask to be waived, & look to sign with MIA
lol @ “Source to close to J. O’Neal” btw
Is Matt Armstrong the Geir of ILH?
Celtics I guess have a three man front court rotation comprised of three forwards and no centers lol?
I like west and bass tho, quality dudes
wtf does jermaine think he’ll do for the heat other than be lebron’s Gatorade taster
lol prob be the starting center tbh
it’s hilarious considering he started that fight w/ wade in the playoffs
What’s up w/hollinger and turiaf btw most of his tweets today have just been him yelling turiaf!
Nba is pushing people over the edge

wtf dude. how much biedrins did you watch in 07 or 08?
lol it’s cuz they need to move him to sign chandler
yeah i mean i think there was whispers of them dropping the amnesty on him, he’s really not that great
not sure they need deandre jordan, tho
Huh yah looks like jermaine was still playing ~30mpg even in 09–10. Seems like he’s been occupying the bench for a few years though.
Lol ah so xp
Biedrins sucks but he’s talented.
he was third in rebounds per 36 in 07/08 for a reason: he’s a good rebounder.
think JO might be disappointed
SuryaHeatNBA: The Heat would rather sign Alonzo Mourning than Jermaine O’Neal.
Biedrins sucks but he’s talented.

Yep
wow he sucks but he’s talented. is this the yahoo sports comments section
totes
I said he was a great rebounder with surprising post moves who also is a headcase. What part do you disagree with?
Biedrins’ best seasons were pretty clearly better than Deandre, but since then he’s just gone off the rails and is a total headcase now. But saying he’s a great rebounder who has started sucking since he got paid isn’t being “the Geir of ILH” it’s the fucking standard story about Biedrins.
just kidding, sorry!
u really think he’ll have a decent season this time?
not unless he sees an awesome shrink
i feel like the warriors always make the most pointless FA signings
i don’t think deandre jordan would really change my feelings in that regard
warriors are always entertainingly crazy, yes
Brandon Roy today, btw.
nets offer nene 65m over 4 years.
that’s so absurd
get that money, boo boo
Prokhorov is gonna end up being one of the worst owners ever, it seems.
imagine the crazy shit he’ll do if deron leaves.
chris palmer is so dumb. i follow him on twitter for some reason and always notice that his tweets are dumb; i also accidentally read his dumb espn articles occasionally. i just put two and two together wrt who he is
this off season has been such an unimaginable shitshow
it’s gotta be the worst offseason ever for the nba by a helluva margin
i’m so obsessed with “basketball reasons”
Stern’s comments were pretty clear on the league leaving all decisions up to demps and Sperling. I wonder what he’ll say about that when he’s finally interviewed. Maybe just refuse to discuss it?
I feel like there will be a book written about that decision
well what happens when they trade david west for jermaine o neal and avery bradley
I kinda like the kings moves. They overpaid a bit for both of them but they need to get up to the salary floor anyway and I like both guys a lot.

is it possible they just flip him for howard? cuz lol
the magic have given dwight howard’s agent permission to speak with three teams — the lakers, nets, and mavericks — about possible trades with orlando.
Also, talks have begun again for the trade that could send CP3 to LAL in a three-way deal also involving houston. league sources say it’s progressing well, and there may be a resolution by saturday.
all this via wojo’s twitter feed.

if by worst you mean most entertaining
Hell yeah. I hope, by the time the preseason is over, Chris Paul has been traded and untraded to every team in the NBA.

Kobe on Pau & Odom “they’ll get over it. Don’t win back 2 back by being soft emotionally”
Celtics appear to have locked up Chris Wilcox. So they have a tweener Center to go with all their Power Forwards.
kobe: “they’ll get over it, once i show them the door in about 12 hours. where’s CP3?”
kobe: i would kill them in their sleep if i thought it would benefit me in some small way
kobe is so funny—nobody irl acts like that but he bought into the media image that he should act like that
what a robot
kobe: next, i’m going to feast on CP3’s virgin blood to rejuvenate my aging knees.
kobe: don’t judge me, i need it to live.
