The NBA Season Is Saved

[Elephant]

Not mad, but I stopped watching the NBA since they are manufacturing titles instead of earning them. Mavs last year was refreshing, but if you honestly think that the NBA did not do everything within their power to give Miami a title...well then...

The refs had to have been told to call things the way they did, there's just no other way to explain their blatant favoritism.

Deerfield Beach is near Ft Lauderdale Mike...not far from Miami.

The Magic have had enough of Dwight Howard. He's done in Orlando. Expecting to see him traded within the next two weeks.

Nice read. What a diva, pursuing legal action? Does this cat not have decent advisors? Yeesh.

He's definitely not the brightest bulb on the tree. Being a Magic fan, I just want him to keep his mouth shut at this point so he doesn't hurt his trade value.

There's rumblings out in Houston that the Rockets are going to make a push for him.

A crazy turn of events in Brooklyn tonight.

Dwight has said he will only sign with the Nets......but the Nets have now moved on.

Sorry Dwight.

Ok Wizards - give them a 1st rounder (next year).

Nash to the Lakers, and the Rockets just offered a huge contract for Jeremy Lin.

There are some incredible moves being made.

 

[Goaldeje]

Damn. Just, damn.

 

[McD5]

And Phoenix wonders why they suck so hard. Incredible grab by the Lakers.

 

[McD5]

And Grant Hill is now widely expected to join the Lakers too.

How are Nash's skills these days? I feel like he's been in the league for forever.

 

[Lanky Livingston]

Oh man, he HAS been in the league for forever - dude is 38!

 

[McD5]

How are Nash's skills these days? I feel like he's been in the league for forever.

Nash is still great. He can take double teams off Kobe, and he can create offense--also relieving Kobe of that constant pressure.

He is a liability on defense, but that's where Grant Hill will come in.

And.....he may even teach Kobe how to pass one day.

Huge addition.

 

[Goaldeje]

The biggest potential problem I see is Nash's health, potentially. The Suns training staff is legendary, and without their help, his age may catch up to him. Then again, it may not, you never know. Or, he may have picked up some tricks from them mover the years, and may be fine.

Ray Ray to Miami.

 

[McD5]

Ray Ray to Miami.

I find it incredible that they can work contracts well enough to pay all of these people.

Ditto with the Nets and Lakers.

Huge trade rumor involving Howard, Richardson and Clark to Brooklyn for Lopez, James, Williams and Walton, plus 3 or 4 first round picks.

I'll go postal if this happens.

It would be one of the worst trades in NBA history.
