jaedmc Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think the scariest part of this season is that besides his poor play, Rondo has probably been one of the most likable teammates on the roster second to Taj. This team is infuriating and the off season has to be nuclear fucking winter because it's going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Man, what the hell else are you going to get from the Clippers if you don't get one of their big 3? Austin Rivers and some mediocre draft picks? Redick would actually be useful for NY, but he's in the last year of his contract and is too smart to stick around there. Enes Kanter broke his forearm punching a courtside chair during a game last night. Out 6-8 weeks. Dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 As a part of their punishment, Jimmy Buckets and DWade will not start tonight. They should have said their roster was "top heavy" and that they "needed a play maker" then they wouldn't be in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Quote Jimmer Fredette is a sensation again. He hadn’t expected this to happen, certainly not in Shanghai, where he signed to play for one of the Chinese Basketball Association’s worst teams. But then came the 40-point nights, Shanghai’s unexpected rise from the bottom to the top and another group of fans halfway around the world was chanting his name. “Jimo. Jimo. Jimo.” There is no Chinese way to say “Jimmer,” his translator told him. They are using the word that sounds closest. It means “lonely,” the translator added. At first, Fredette was disappointed. “I thought, ‘Lonely? That’s kind of depressing,’ ” he told The Vertical. But the translator went on to explain that the conversion from Mandarin to English is not perfect, that the fans were not chanting “lonely” but rather something like “loneliness master” or “loneliness god.” They were saying he stood at such a high level, alone at the top, that he had no enemies. He was, in a sense, the very best. Fredette’s Shanghai teammates later confirmed this to him, as did aides from his agent’s office. Suddenly Jimo didn’t sound depressing at all. Jimmer Fredette. Loneliness God. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-second-act-of-jimmer-mania-183331176.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Milwaukee is sending Miles Plumlee to Charlotte for Roy Hibbert/Spencer Hawes. Novak gets waived to clear the roster spot. I hate this deal for Milwaukee. Plums wasn't great but he fits much better with what the Bucks are trying to do than Hibbert or Hawes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Opposite here. Plumlee was such a bad contract. I can't believe they lucked their way out of it. I'd expect Milwaukee fans to be celebrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That's fair. This could very well be a move to facilitate a trade centered around Monroe, in which case I'm withholding judgement until the other shoe drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Carmelo Anthony has a weird career. Never went to the finals. Went to the Conference Finals once with the Nuggets, went out in the first round in the rest of his playoff appearances. Never an MVP. Never an ALl-NBA first team - only a 2nd or 3rd. Plenty of Olympic gold Medals. He's one of the more underwhelming superstars from the 2000 that will go in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmelo Anthony's biggest issue is that he's not good enough to be the best player on a championship team, but too good to be the second best player on his own team. His Olympic experience shows that he is extremely valuable when playing with players at his level, but his NBA experience shows that he isn't nearly as valuable when playing with players worse than him.

Brian Fowler Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 New York trading for him and gutting their roster instead of waiting the half season and signing him when it was painfully obvious the Knicks were the only team that had the market he wanted, the cap space to sign him, and the desire to add him was absolutely stupid and short-sighted. If they had kept those other pieces and placed him, they would have been at least a borderline contender in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This too. To me some of the best players managed to make shitty teams overachieve. The Knicks with Melo have constantly underachieved unless he's NOT playing. Like Linsanity. Or even last night when he was benched in the 4th and they won. He just seems like a team chemistry killer to me. And maybe that's unfair. Maybe that's partly on shit office putting dumb pieces together and awful coaching. But you can look at these trade scenarios and no one wants to give up their core. They'll only take him for scrubs. Because if he disrupts things they can just sit his ass down and let the people who like playing together keep playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
