They can **** right on off, but holy **** I'd love to see a team in 2014 of Kyrie, James, and Pek.

Sexy as hell team. Scary good offense AND defense.

Peconic would be awesome. But I can't imagine Minnesota letting him get away.

For this year they are.

I doubt very much they change how they do things from a money perspective. The brand brings in tons of money, the Time Warner deal brings in tons of money.

The CBA has hurt them, but I'll wait to rush to judgement about how it will or won't hamper them until I see how things go next summer.

In the end, the Lakers invested a broken Andrew Bynum, Josh McRoberts and a lottery protected 1 for Howard. It didn't work out but the damage isn't catastrophic.

Its not that big a deal for the Lakers. They will pay the luxury taxand were prepared to do it this year. They will get under next year clearing the the tax penalty. They just have to work the numbers a bit better when they get the penalty down from being over for so many years.

Been a great couple of days for Rockets fans. Now Garcia is back for vet minimum.

That's a pretty nice front court. Monroe is just a horse and Smith will do a ton of the dirty work.

I hope my man Siva can stick on the Pistons

Titty Meat 07-06-2013 02:27 PM

The Pistons are garbage

A few months ago we were the favorite to sign Oden... Interesting prospect for us, or I wonder if Bynum would be interested in reuniting with Brown who gave him his best season. Both have the injury issue though.

Why in the world would he come home to people that burned his jersey and wanted him to die? Yall don't deserve shit. GTFO.

Jarrett Jack signing with Cleveland is pretty big. He could start at PG for multiple teams... I'd say we have the best PG tandem in the NBA. You can even throw Dion Waiters in that mix as a combo guard who can really handle the ball too.

It will also be real interesting to see how the 76ers handle Royce too. If they learn from Houston's mistakes they got a steal.

Not to say it was all Houston's fault... They shouldn't have to cater to his needs. But both sides could have made it easier. So hopefully Royce also learns from his mistakes. It did seem like he was making a lot of progress towards the end, and at least played in some D-League games.

Do his issues keep him from running in a gym? Because when he finally stepped on the floor for their DLeague team, dude was way out of shape. I'm afraid he's a lost cause. That's too bad, as I thought he'd be a really positive spokesman.
