GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Just one signing from the Lakers that doesn't make me want to vomit with rage, and feel obliged to drink it back up. Mozgov....Deng.......Calderon.......fucking why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozgov....Deng.......Calderon.......fucking why. If it makes you feel any better the Sixers have yet to put together a roster. Wait, we have Bayless and Henderson. Oh boy, this team will be fun. Brown is getting the short end of the stick. I hope wherever he goes next has a roster with some talent because he is a great coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd rather be the Sixers. It's a bunch of guys unsuccessfully fighting for their careers that they probably don't deserve rather than a bunch of overpaid guys pretending to want to be there.

evilwaldo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It is fun for one year but when you enter year 4 you realize that the tanking never ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Calderon is a fine pickup for the Lakers. He's an expiring contract and a better backup than Huertas, plus they get a pair of second rounders out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After them, I got nothing. No way was Houston in there. OKC didn't make the playoffs. Atlanta? C'mon. Heat? Nope. Houston was the #2 seed and in the conference finals. The Hawks fell apart but were a 60 win team. They were very much contenders going into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorceressKnight Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 3 hours ago, JRGoldman said: A Rondo/Wade/Butler/Gibson/Lopez lineup has like, negative spacing. The Cavs got Dunleavy in a trade due to all of this. They didn't have to give up Osman, which is interesting. This whole thing is insane. What if Whiteside backs out? Basketball is amazing. That could be VERY interesting given the possibility there: -Whiteside backs out of his Miami deal and goes to the team he nearly signed with there- Dallas...and if Dallas gets Whiteside, they can't afford to sign Harrison Barnes's offer sheet anymore...which means Barnes goes back to Golden State and they can't afford to sign Durant. Of course, inevitably it would lead to "You already agreed to take Bogut from us...throw in a second round pick in 2049 or something and we'll throw Barnes in the deal", but it would be fun.

Josh Mann Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I put forth the following question: So it turns out that Riley never so much as called Wade during the last days. Does that strike anyone as being typical Pat Riley behavior if he actually wanted Wade to come back? This wasn't an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 22 hours ago, Josh Mann said: Business decision on both their parts and the truth is better to do this now than have to watch him get taken behind the barn in 2 years. The best part is I get to watch Jrag have to do a 180 on the last decade. I Love This Game. When I first heard the bulls were trying to sign him I was a little upset. Three wing players who don't want shoot threes playing in Hoiberg's system? When we need to rebuild? But when the news broke I was HYPE for some reason. Not going to lie. We will be a whole lot of fun this year. MY BOY D WADE! Fuck Hoiberg anyway. No way they listen to him, but ehh. What's really funny is the Bulls FO finally built a Thibs team the year after they fired him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Looking at that list of free agents remaining, there isn't a hell of a lot I'd like to see at the end of "LAKERS SIGN _______". Speights is an obvious one, Allen Crabbe yes. McAdoo and Clark yes. Xavier Munford on value for money alone. Rest just make me shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
