Steve9347 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 12:58 AM) Dwyane Wade looks FANTASTIC in the olympics, best I've seen him since the 2006 NBA Finals. I made fun of the idea of how he might come back here to his hometown in a couple years when he's a free agent, thinking he'll be broken down and busted up by then. But looking at him in the olympics, combined with now having Derrick Rose here and likely Ben Gordon gone (and Hughes would be gone by that time too), bring him on. He'll get injured.

shipps Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 08:47 AM) He'll get injured. He will probably seperate that shoulder again.Once you do it one time chances are its gonna keep happening because it will be even easier to pop out again.In the ER I see the same guys coming in all the time with the shoulders popped out and they never seem like they are used to it,obviously its a painful freaking injury.

southsider2k5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/53994-t...own-out-of-camp Rookies and former college teammates Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur, were caught with possession of marijuana Wednesday night while attending the NBA's Rookie transition program camp. The consequences of their actions: a $20,000 fine, public embarrassment, and a damaged public reputatuion before logging one official minute in their professional careers. In addition to the illegal substances found, several women also occupied Chalmer's and Arthur's hotel room, another violation of camp rules. Highly regarded by Pat Riley, Mario was chosen by the Miami Heat in the second round of the NBA draft in June to help solidify a promising core down in South Beach. The combination of Chalmers, Beasley, Wade, and Marion was supposed to jumpstart a team who had the worst record in the league last year at 15-67. Chalmers looked to be the Heat’s starting point guard heading into 2008-09 season, but because of this new development that plan seems to be halted. Riley despises character issues in his players; a major reason why the seasoned coach wasn’t fond of drafting Michael Beasley second overall. As for Arthur, he was expected to be one of the centerpieces of the Grizzlies' franchise, side by side with Mike Conley Jr., O.J. Mayo, and Rudy Gay. Memphis acquired Darrell in hopes of avenging the third worst record in the Western Conference last season at 22-60. The duo also may begin the season on the league's suspension list, postponing their anticipated debuts. The youngsters have not only failed to honor the NBA's substance abuse policy but have also penalized themselves, their teams, and their fans because of their poor judgement.

Balta1701 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 So it seems to not have been posted here, but a few days ago we heard that a Russian team made a serious offer on Gordon. Now it turns out...Ben Gordon's agent was using the Russian media to plant a story about him receiving that offer as a negotiating tactic with the Bulls.

Balta1701 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Turns out Michael Beasley was involved in whatever it was at the NBA Rookie camp that Mario Chalmers and Darrel Arthur were involved in. He got a $50k fine for it, while the other 2 got 20k fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
