My brother is saddening to me.

 

He, like me, loves Kirk.

 

He ONLY wanted D-Wade as a FA.

He really DOES NOT want LBJ, Bosh, or JJ.

Ha, really?

    I feel like this has probably been posted somewhere, but I haven't seen it. If it has, my bad.     http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.html   Not sure how everyone else

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:11 PM)
Ok.

 

A guy who shoots 41% on the floor on mostly open jump shots is not a good shooter and while Hinrich tries hard and is a good defender he is far from a lock down defender and that is what it takes for me to consider someone great on that end of the floor.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:29 PM)

Yes. He hates LeBron and thinks he's a choker who can't do anything and thinks Bosh is only good on bad teams.

 

He thinks only Wade would lead them to the promised land, even after Wade slammed the Bulls.

I would say something. But I don't want to diss your brother.

Love the Kings picks so far today.

I've probably said it to him...he also wanted to keep JD over Rios (trade for a rock!) and sign Pods to the $7M deal.

 

It's sad, he used to be sport smart, but as he used to tell me when I was little "Don't fall in love with players."

Perhaps "streaky" is a better adjective, but I still think he's a good shooter. And name 5 "lock-down" defenders in the NBA now-a-days. It doesn't exist.

So Aminu is responsible for all those Nigerian prince emails, eh?

Magic May Be Near Deal For Chris Paul

Orlando Would Send Vince Carter, Jameer Nelson To New Orleans

 

POSTED: Thursday, June 24, 2010

New Magic Logo

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It is draft night in the NBA, and it seems the Orlando Magic are in the mood to make a deal.

 

Rumors of New Orleans point guard Chris Paul coming to Orlando for Vince Carter and Jameer Nelson seem to be more real than the Magic are saying.

This is some serious bad news for the eastern conference. A healthy Chris Paul and Howard?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:52 PM)
I'd still take LeBron-Rose-Bosh-Noah

 

Well yeah. But I'm certainly not counting chickens yet. Hopefully that report is bulls***. That's a scary f***ing thought. The Hornets could certainly do better than a washed up Vince and good but hardly great PG for arguably the best all-around PG in the game when healthy.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:54 PM)
New Orleans CANNOT be stupid enough to do that deal.

 

Yeah, I'm calling bulls***. There's just no way.

Magic won't have first round draft picks for the next 50 years.

I'm still bracing myself for a Johnson/Boozer combo. I just don't have enough faith.

It doesn't make any sense. But I don't see this "rumor" being discussed or even mentioned on any of the other major sports sites. I just ran into that article over at realgm. Just the thought of Howard/Paul on the same team made me s*** myself.

That's quite the value for the Lakers there.

I agree. And the Heat getting Varnardo at #41 is basically grand theft auto.

It doesn't make basketball sense; it makes $$$ sense.

 

Chris Paul costs $15M/year for the next 3 and New Orleans can't sustain a franchise even with him. The Hornets' owner is cheap enough to drop his franchise player to save some bucks.

The Hinrich trade off-setted the Byfuglien loss from my end tremendously (though the same friend who loved Byfuglien yesterday liked Hinrich alot too :lol: so he's having a bad week) One of the top 10 most happiest days of my life as far as sports in Chicago. Peace Kirk!

I won't be happy or sad until Free Agency is resolved.

If LeBron signs, that is top 3 for me behind only the Bulls and Sox championships. (1 behind the Hawks title since I'm a bigger NBA fan and wasn't alive for the Bears one)

I could see Collison... but Paul?! Hornets would be one of the stupidest franchises to do this (way worse than the Gasol rape LA gave to Memphis) For the record, Chris Paul is the only PG I would trade Rose straight up for. People forget how incredible he was prior to the injury. (and D-Will is the best right now... till Paul reclaims that title back this comming season which won't be hard for him)

This is getting out of hand. Championships > Free Agent Signings no matter the sport. Signing Lebron guarantees us nothing except a playoff birth.

How is that out of hand?

 

If you LOVE the Bulls and are just a decent Hawks fan it makes sense
