Lakers are fucked.. Cuss bynums gonna look at that fool and say that piece of shit got that much I want max..
Bynum crushed bogut the last time they met. (I think they met twice and he crushed him both) but whenever bynum plays him.. Bogut gets owned.. Bogut is average 14 10 guy that will never be anything more... At best he is actually worth 7 mil a year.. but Centers have more value..

Well minimum lakers can offer is 1 mil and thats what they did for ronny.. Im sure their is room to rise but I dont think it will go past 3 mil. If lakers give rony 2.5 or 3 and ronny doesnt take it then he is a fucking asshole..
After lakers stuck with him through his heart surgery and recovery time, that is no way to say thanks..
Now if lakers only offer a million.. Fuck it go to GS. But im sure lakers will offer 3, but I dont think we can counter offer.. I think it is match or say goodbye..
Bogut just got a fucking 5 year/72.5 mill deal.. WTF man horrible fucking center making 14 mil a year, I believe 60 - 65 is guaranteed through.. The 72.5 deal is according to his agent..
But DAM I WONT GIVE HIM MORE Than 5 years/45 million and thats 9 mil a year.. thats prob still over paying but wow.. BUcks are morons..
Baron did get owned

yea, both baron and brand pulled kinda ass moves on their teams. I'm sure clippers fans have no remorse for was bdiddy did, the same way 76er's fans are probably pretty happy to be getting a player like brand.
I have no clue what the clips are going to pull next. I say sign some people to some 2 year deals maybe, and try and get bosh/wade/lebron in 2 years
.......or kobe next year

i guess the rockets made their 'move'
http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Bren...277178-34.html
I've always liked brent barry though. I thought he was underrated throughout his career. You have to like the only white guy to win the slam dunk contest.
I think I'll like the warriors with magette and turiaf. They should still be a very fun team to watch, which is why I always loved them the past few seasons. Might not be quite the same without baron, but hopefully they bring ellis back and he picks up on playing PG fast. I was hoping that the clips would at least keep one of brand or magette. I have no clue what they are going to do now. At least they have a PG to build around, but bdiddy is no rising star anymore, if they plan on winning with him, they better start building in the next couple years.

Any NJ NET fans on here?
Any comments on the moves made so far?
Drafted: Brook Lopez, Ryan Anderson, Chris Douglas-Roberts.
Traded: Richard Jefferson for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons.
F/A Signing: Jarvis Hayes, potentially Eduardo Najera.
Losses to F/A: Diop
Potential losses to F/A: Nachbar and Kristic
They drafted 3 guys to fill needs (size, 3-pt shooting, and they all shoot FT's at a decent clip).
They signed another 3-pt shooter (Hayes) and potentially got a steal in Yi if he plays to his potential.
So far in the Orlando Magic Summer League, their 3 rookies are playing really nice.

not too bad, they should at least have a good defense inside. Still camby is no brand. I guess nuggets really wanted to save some money though.
I am just hoping they give livingston another shot for the minimum for a year or two. Although I don't know how his rehab is doing, but I really liked him when he was playing, and was supposed to be their franchise PG.

I just heard from espn saying that Detroit is after T-Mac. T-Mac also said that he is interested in trade.
Houston is fucked. I hope they have some kind of plan because they aren't doing anything.

2. we have shane, but i think prince is a better player. shane's a role player at best and does everything well. but prince is a few years younger, and does things the things shane does but only better. and if we lose t-mac, i'd rather have prince starting than battier.
3. i'd assume either rip or billups would have to be involved.
i'm not close-minded about the thought of trading mcgrady. he's not going to get us anywhere, really. he's getting older and is too injury prone now.

What is your thought about getting LO/Farmar/Radmonovich for Tmac.
LO can help YAO A LOT with rebounding. Farmar is a great young PG and Radmonovich streaky shooter.. BUT can spread out the court. PLus maybe two picks plus cash consideration

if I were houston I'd want rip, maxiell and stuckey rather than their aging veterans. but i think the pistons would be more willing to give up some of their older stars. Between wallace, billups, and mcdyess, their starting lineup is looking pretty old.
I think a rip/billups deal would be a decent one though. They are probably the most experienced and consistently successful backcourt in the NBA.
I don't think the lakers would really go after tmac. At least I couldn't imagine kobe and tmac playing together. I guess that would be kinda cool though if they could work well together.

and I don't know who'd I'd want from Detroit. FOr immediate fix, Billups and Rip, Long term I don't really see anyone in Detroit that would work out well, just a bunch of role players which is what our whole team is made of minus Tmac and Yao.
And we just picked up old ass barry

^ dont compare kobe to vince.. Vinceeven said he didnt even try when he was in the raptors..
Vince is a joke.. KObe would go crazy if tmac came and I would guarantee at least 3 - 4 champs..
Fisher Kobe Tmac Gasol Bynum?
Are you fucking kidding me? That would rape any team
