You forgot the part about K-Love going there in FA.

Yeah, this effing sucks. Lakers are gonna end up with a top three pick, getting Embiid or Wiggins, and K-Love is going there in free agency. Kobe is probably going to re invent himself as a point guard, and all of a sudden they are title contenders again. For a decade.

And the Jazz are stuck here with their lame *** "integrity". So annoying to be a jazz fan sometimes.

Here is to hoping we win the lottery with our pick and Golden State's!

 

[Stifle Tower]

everybody thought the lakers where headed straight to the finals with the whole nash,kobe,dwight trio they had going.

That **** fell apart quick.

Have to admit I was one of them. I'd love to see LeBron end up in NY with Carmelo. NBa would need to change the rules to allow two balls to be used on offense.

I read something that LeBron's agent said, and thought it was interesting. He said that this time around in Free Agency, LeBron is considering all 30 teams, and whatever one he thinks will be the best situation he will sign with, kind of regardless of money. How awesome would it be if he signed with a total surprise small market team like the Suns or Portland?

Don't read too much into that. It really means teams in NY and LA that currently don't have cap room will have a chance to work a sign-and-trade with Miami. He'll sign with the Lakers who will have Kobe, LeBron and a top-3 pick.

I seriously doubt Lebron ever comes out east. Personally I'd love to see him make yet another eastern powerhouse. Maybe the Sixers. But he probably ends up in a big eastern market if he leaves Miami.

Edit: I agree on the whole surprise team. I'd hope he picks a team that has never won a title like the Suns, Cats, Jazz, Bucks, Magic...

Magic would be awesome. Then he could be all like "I am way better than Shaq and Dwight ever were..." And if he went to the HornetCats, he could just say he wanted to bring the glory back to MJ.

That said, I can see the NBA awarding them the #1 pick. Need to have a big-time talent in such a major media market.

Do you seriously believe the lottery is rigged? If I thought that, I wouldn't watch another NBA game, ever.

Even if it isn't rigged, the lakers are going to have a good shot at a top 3 pick.....

Cavs just fired their GM. Not sure if this is good or bad for the tank but it shows that the cavs owner is pissed.

I agree that he stays East. There's nothing better than coasting the first 82 games to a 50 win top3 seed in the East and doing it in the playoffs.
I also doubt he'll leave Miami. He knows flip flopping teams will hurt his brand short term a lot. I only see him doing if Miami totally falls apart(D-Wade long term injury and not opting out -> strangling their payroll, Bosh leaving the ship early as a consequence) As long as Miami has cap flexibility he'll simply be like: Yo guys join me on the Heat - Welcome to Miami, buenvenidos a Miami. I mean he can get over whoeever he likes. He turns Miami into a big market himself, international brand and they have a lot of basketball know how and personalities in the front office and sidelines. So that's a very good situation he's in. Imagine him bringing over Rondo+X in 2015? I mean he has all the possibilities. But I think Miami is his first option.

Nah, tongue-in-cheek, although they only show the opening of the envelopes. The rest of the process is behind closed doors. There have been a few, umm, interesting outcomes in the past. NBA Commissioner has other ways to influence the league, including that corrupt Gasol trade.

 

[yamers]

man how many lottery picks do the ****ing cavs need?

**** is pathetic now.

 

[yamers]

p.s. Bulls vs GSW tonight.

lets go bulls!

 

[Stifle Tower]

lets go bulls!

Bulls have no chance. I've seen Boozer play and he's no Jefferson!

 

[yamers]

bulls are coming off an upset of the suns and I think they could beat the warriors just as well! Actually it all depends if curry heats up and which thompson shows up.

if curry shoots bricks the warriors lose. This team is really fragile and one injury away from getting us a top 10 pick from them! srs!

maybe boozer punches curry in the nuts and puts em out 10games.

 

[b_line]

Guys!!! We are going to win the lottery! Chad Ford's draft lotto machine told me so just now. We will win the lottery and pick Jabari, then Golden State will miss the playoff and we will pick someone like McDermott with the 14th pick. If we get real lucky, then Golden State's pick will win the lotto too, and we will pick Jabari and Embiid or Wiggins! It will happen!!!!

We just need to speak in more exclamation points, and it will happen!!!!!!

Zulu!!!!
Teach us the art of exclamation points!!!!!!!!
