yeah the celtics could be v good but the hornets become a much worse team, celtics would obv need to sweeten the deal jho posted or add another team or two to the mix

honestly i think it’s possible the magic end up being a worse team because of this, i mean defensively for sure
yeah but if dwight is leaving anyway theyre getting 1mx more value than theyll get in any other other trade
and they can retool around bron
tru
poor bron
you guys, can I talk about college hoops for a hot second
the #25 team in the country right now is... Harvard

lol its his karma man *shrug*
(Random side note: There’s one little free-agency tidbit everyone in Gotham seems to be glossing over in the CP mania — while the Knicks don’t have enough projected cap room for Paul or Deron Williams, New York absolutely has enough cap space to sign 2012 free agent and part-time Big Apple resident Steve Nash.)
hmmm
nash/amare reunion would be v touching
renting paul for a year might actually be PREFERABLE to locking him up long term as his knees could go any day now
its sad but likely hes not gonna be good for much longer
shut up!!
i dont like it any more than u!
but he like had the surgery last year that brandon roy had a couple years ago
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
:)
:D
glad the nba is going this route
WindhorstESPN Brian Windhorst
Going to be a lot of big matchups: Heat to play Lakers & Thunder twice. Will play Bulls & Celtics 4 times.
• Gunning guard deluded by past glory. More dangerous on Twitter than on court.
• Upgraded defensive effort. Has good size for point guard but fouls too much.
• Good outside shooter off catch. Instinctive scorer, but takes bad shots.
gilbert
baron
oh yeah gil duh
i dunno if i can emotionally handle a rondo trade after last years perkins disaster (miss u boo) but cp3 would really handily fill in everything the very rapidly aging big three are missing
dude was a motherfucker last year even on a giant knee brace
and there’s something appealing about letting danny and doc get their hooks in him all season to possibly sign beyond the rental
he would certainly be an enormous improvement should he stay healthy & his assist stats should be insane with a team of ppl who can actually shoot/score, how he did it with that bum NOLA team for so long is amazing
Cool t-shirt, Kobes.
KOBE!!
his daughters are cute
sb kobels
• Talented wing who can shoot, defend and finish. Has skills to be great defender.
• Held back by mental game and poor handle. Turnover- and mistake-prone.
• Gaining a rep for selfish play. Will take poor shots. Rarely passes.
nick young
paul george?
thaddeus young?
monta ellis?
are ellis and young “wings?”
this particular guy impressed me as a 6th-man type on a contender a couple years ago, but his stock fell enough that he was traded and is sort of forgotten now.
ah, is it ariza?
no but that type of guy
agahgh feel like this guy is on the tip of my tongue
never was quite as good as ariza but prob had more potential
jeff green, lol
no but that’s a good guess too
i don’t see myself ever repping for jeff green
i might rep for him if he legally changed his name to “jeff green, lol”
moar hints
Kobe wearing a Kobe t-shirt
I mean, duh, of course
is it... HEDO???
no but you’re real close
pietrus?
courtney lee?
hmmmmmmm

yup
totally forgot that they got rid of him
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski — Paul has indicated Clippers and Warriors could raise chances of keeping him long-term if they sign center Tyson Chandler too, sources say.
feel like ‘poor handle’ is a strong clue
but every time I think ‘big man with poor handle’ I think of that clip of z-bo losing the handle on a cross and hoisting up an airball at the shot clock expiration
c’mon nba make your crazy trades and settle the storm. we have a fantasy draft on sunday.

this is prob the funniest video on youtube, w/ that music in the background
who does he even play for now
suns right?
yeah
btw this is a great no-nonsense magic highlight tape w/ lots of stuff I hadn’t seen before
so i don’t think camps are even opening until monday now since teams haven’t been filled out at all. not sure if we can wait to draft?
yeah I’d rather do this like a day or two before the season starts, but that’s Christmas Time and people might be pretty busy / on vacation so maybe the Sunday before? Bison?
if the draft is gonna be this sunday as posted in the league, i need to know soon because it will affect my plans for this weekend
what do yall feel like are good draft days besides the 18th? im hella busy with my church that day and night.
afternoon of Saturday the 17th?
POSSIBLY, any other yeasayers?
any weekend is good 4 me
p.s. switching up the draft day isn’t gonna stop you from losing
basically any time is great for me except the exact time that it’s currently set to
that saturday should work and i can also do weeknights
i’m gonna hop in this btw, i’m good w/ any dates besides fri nights & sun mornings
i’ve never played fantasy before & would be interested in doing this but that weekend is no good for me & earlier than that is even worse. go on w/out me
k3v you can just autodraft
yeah, rank the players when you have a free hour or so and just let it autodraft
or pop in for 20 mins and draft your first four or so guys and then drop out
this is gonna be pretty sweet having more IlH reg posters in the fantasy league this year, amped
I will try and get in on this as well.
I’ll make the change to sat PM on the 17th
omg can u guys make a thread for yr horrible fantasy holocaust thx
that’s a different fantasy league, u draft despots and whoever kills the most ppl wins a trophy
ayo i’m cool with this weekend or next but the league still says this sunday
need 2 b in draft b/c i need to DEFEND MY TITLE bam
I haven’t changed it yet, I’m a busy man
i trust u m bison its yahoo i dont trust

The Spurs have decided to use the amnesty clause on contract of Richard Jefferson, league sources tell Y! Sports. He has 3 years, $30M left.
8 minutes ago
first guy amnestied!
how does the amnesty clause work? you get to cut ppl?
You get to cut them and have to pay them their full contract but it doesn’t count against your salary cap. (or it counts less, or something)
and there’s a bidding process for who can sign jefferson (i.e., he isn’t a total free agent).
it doesn’t count at all against cap or luxury tax iirc
The Spurs watch every penny. Small market, you know.
they’re aggressively pursuing caron butler.
lol caron butler is not better than richard jefferson particularly
true, but apparently he’s their target.
maybe they think jefferson has nothing left?
there was a big drop-off in r-jeff last year, caron butler we don’t know cuz he was injured
I wld probably draft tough juice over jefferson right now tho
carons big drop off was like two years ago!
but maybe he plays more spurs type ball idk recall jefferson wasnt really a good fit as far as what they wanted him to do catch and shoot corner 3s etc
BREAKING NEWS: we aren’t signing anybody.
not even kwame brown. it’s sad we wanted kwame.
