December 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) Yikes. I really liked Oden and I was a huge fan of Roy, what that team could have been, too bad... Yeah, they were already decent last year without Oden and with Roy a shell of his former self. That team should have been contending with OKC for the title the next decade.
December 10, 201114 yr ugh....bulls zeroing in on rip hamilton according to kc johnson.....i dont like this
December 10, 201114 yr Author Rather unbelievably, LaMarcus Aldridge is going to miss at least two weeks after undergoing tests for a heart condition. Portland with the trifecta of bad news today.
December 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) That is flat out stupid. When you know Howard's most likely going to be gone, why the hell sign his buddy, who IMO, is far worse than Bass? Glen Davis is terrible. Bass and Davis is pretty much a wash, Davis is probably a little better defensively because of his bulk, while Bass probably has the better mid-range jumper. But paying $6.5M annually for Big Baby is a waste IMO. A guy who shoots 44% at the PF position isn't really going to be a huge asset unless that improves. EDIT: And we got Von Wafer also. Well Dwight will definitely be staying now!
December 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) Rather unbelievably, LaMarcus Aldridge is going to miss at least two weeks after undergoing tests for a heart condition. Portland with the trifecta of bad news today. He had the same issue and procedure at the end of his rookie year. Apparently he gets checked out before every season. "Until he goes through those tests and passes, we don't let him get on the floor," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "This is normal. This is something he does every year." And my heart can start beating again after a moment of panic for my fantasy team. Edit- Nevermind, they updated the article after I read it. Still doesn't sound like it's a major issue at the moment, basically out a couple of weeks. Edited December 10, 201114 yr by ZoomSlowik
December 10, 201114 yr The Blazers remind me of those early 90's Hornets teams with Alozno, LJ, Gill and even Mugsy. That team should've been a powerhouse. Edited December 10, 201114 yr by Jordan4life

December 10, 201114 yr Author ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Howard is not locked into playing for the Nets. They are one of three teams he's interested in. No deal imminent, or close really Is it just me or did that number just go up by one?
December 10, 201114 yr Author KCJHoop K.C Johnson Told doesn't want to be w/ Bulls. RT @sam_amick: Orlando PR says DHoward's agent has permission to speak w/ Lakers, Nets, Mavs about trade.

Well Dwight will definitely be staying now! Davis' TS%: 50% Bass' TS%: 57% You're talking about an above average shooter vs. a piss poor shooter. Especially considering the fact that Davis takes a lot of high percentage shots. I really don't think Dwight's coming back. And if that is the case, then this move was just a serious WTF.
December 10, 201114 yr KC Johnson is saying that the Bulls will give Rip Hamilton a 2 year $10 million deal by tomorrow. Not bad for a stop-gap and a definite improvement over Bogans. I really wished that JR wouldn't be such a greedy bastard though. Apparently, they didn't even offer Jason Richardson the full MLE contract. SMH.
December 10, 201114 yr Why on earth would Howard not want to play here? Has a reason actually been speculated upon?
December 10, 201114 yr I'm definitely fine with RIP. He's all-around average who's capable of putting up 15-20 in a game. I hope GarPax still pursue sign and trades.
December 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) Why on earth would Howard not want to play here? Has a reason actually been speculated upon? One has been that he will always play 2nd fiddle to Rose.

I said that Bass was a better shooter than Davis, but Davis is better than Bass at the other parts of the game (defense, ball handling etc.) Still hasn't stopped all of the so called experts "slurping" this move for the Celtics though.

December 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (sircaffey @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 01:05 AM) One has been that he will always play 2nd fiddle to Rose. Makes you wonder how much 23 scares off a lot of players. I can only think of a couple of players who would have relished that challenge, Kobe for one, and Iverson seemed like a person would have had the stones to at least attempt it. Durant also seems like that type of person. Oh well, Rose will just have to do it the hard way I guess.
December 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 01:13 AM) Doesn't like the cold weather. Yeah, thought that also until he wanted to go to tropical New Jersey. Last year they got hit with more snow then we did I believe.

I suppose the allure and being the #1 guy in a brand new team in Brooklyn would be a very good incentive as well.

True, you win a few in New Jersey you build your own legacy, you win one in Chicago folks will be asking for five more. Let him go to Dallas, New Jersey, doesn't matter to me. I'd hate the Lakers though. That is the funniest thing with Lebron and Wade though, no matter how many Lebron wins Wade will still always have one more (and be more beloved in Miami). I swear Wade did that to dupe Lebron for the rest of his playing days.
December 10, 201114 yr Yeah, thought that also until he wanted to go to tropical New Jersey. Last year they got hit with more snow then we did I believe. Chicago is arctic compared to NJ and NY.
