"can’t spell Deng." I read that wrong.

If we were debating Rips 2 for 10 v. Richardsons 4 for 25 deal I wouldn't be arguing. But we're talking about Jamal Crawford. A player who CAN hit 20 points but CAN ALSO hit 6 points on 3 for 17 shooting and not thing once (hey this is a bad shot i shouldn't take it), all the while just acting like he's playing defense by looking in circles with his arms spread out.

HEYOOOOOOOOOO

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 11:08 PM) Wrong again. I said you don't win with a superstar and "blah." Blah being a bunch of roleplayers for the most part. Kyle brought up Dallas. I countered with Kidd. He's much, much more than a roleplayer. If you don't agree, well, I don't care. He's not much more than a role player. His back is shot, he got up for the playoffs, and hit a miraculous # of 3 pointers. He also gets all the calls from the refs at this point in his career. For most of the season he was a corpse on puppet strings.

You are classifying Jason Kidd at 38 years old as a superstar and we're a joke?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) No, I don't have any precise numbers in front of me. But I can say with confidence Richard Hamilton cannot guard D-Wade. At all. Wade hates guarding players that continually run off screens/run off the ball a lot on offense, it bleeds into his offensive game as well. It wears him out.

I was laughing at you acting like Rip is joining a team that's a significant defensive downgrade from that pistons team. I like rips length on D, I think he'd be fine in Thibs system. And more than that i like how he wears down his opponent on defense by running the equivalent of 5 miles every game.

hahahahahahahaha

Hamilton's offense >>> Crawford's defense

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) It didn't get out? We at least know the Senator who was on it. I was going to google to make sure i was correct but i'm nervous for the results i'd get at work typing in "dc escort ring"

if that DC escort ring's list never got out I doubt this does.

So I'm doing my usual "skeptical about a move before it happens, but then once it happens i convince myself that it will work out and is awesome" moments re: Rip. I'm getting really excited. The more i think about it, the more I think the running around he does on offense will have a fantastic effect for our scoring. I still wish we had gotten ray allen the year previous more, but oh well.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 05:50 AM) I'm tempted. But I think I'll wait until a reasonably decent version hits the interwebs. that's what the MAN tells you to do.

Kobe makes like, 25 million -30 million each year for the next 3 years.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) As Kyle said, it was obviously for the money. There were slight differences, but I mean very slight. The biggest difference I noticed was the girl being a little more meth-y (the way all zombies are now in films) when she killed the guy in the underground walkway in the American version. I thought the way they did it in the original was scarier. But did it even make money? That's what I mean, more. They released it about a year apart in a very similar release to the original.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 03:23 AM) I only half paid attention to the American version, but how was it that much better? It was basically a shot-for-shot remake. I was always confused as to why they remade that in general. It had a pretty wide release in US. I loved Let the right one in, but I"m not going to watch it twice. I heard they did change some things in the US version however.

Ohhhhh that makes sense.

I actually thought about that, how annoying it was to guard Ray Allen for the Heat just because he's constantly running in circles on the offensive end. I think the movement he brings on offense without a significant drop to defense (which is my main problem with most of these SGs we were mentioning) makes me excited to at least see what he looks like. Hopefully not washed up. Maybe jimmy butler will be amazing !?!?!

The Clips bid was COLOSSALLY better.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 12:39 AM) Restricted FA in 2012 when Rips contract ends.

If you trade after that amnesty auction, is that team that trades for him only responsible for what the Clips auctioned?

Wait... so eric bledsoe, mo williams, chauncey billups and CP3 ... they are like the good Timberwolves.

As an basketball fan...Griffin and Paul on the same team makes me happy. As an NBA fan...i'm sanguin.. As a bulls fan, fairly happy. But the clippers could be a super team.

That was indeed terrible quality. But it still made me hard.

So Dwight Howard comes out and says he doesn't want to leave Orlando, and there is still a good chance he stays. And then they dont' trade him and he says he's pissed and wants to be traded.
