Yup - that is gonna work out great for them... How many times do you think Isiah has called or texted in the last two weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 400, but they kept thinking it was the Celtics player wanting to be traded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Oh shit, Zach Lowe just uploaded a podcast with Jerry Stackhouse. This is gonna be good. I'm still disappointed that Stack and 'Sheed didn't end up being Bucks assistants as was rumored when they hired Kidd. It would have been the most unfuckwithable coaching staff of all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 KCP lost hard in free agency, but will get to play again next year, and in the meantime he gets a lovely consolation prize of a one year/$18 million "prove it/don't clog the cap for next year" deal with the Lakers.

Zimbra Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Two rule changes for next year: teams get 14 timeouts in a game instead of 18, and the trade deadline is getting moved ahead of the all-star game to February 8th. EDIT: And opening night is moved up to October 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You should be allowed to use all 14 consecutively to really rest up for that final 2 minutes. Who cares if you're down by 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Melo to Houston is apparently on the 2 yard line, per tweets. of course, Houston teams have a really hard time scoring from the 2 yard line. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I kind of hope you guys get him for two reasons. Makes the west far more competitive at the top and Melo can play his game without the burden of being the team's primary scorer. I read it was a 4 team deal. Any idea of who is involved?

Lawful Metal Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Rumors I've heard was Portland -- alleged deal was HOU - Melo, POR - Ryan Anderson, NYK - Harkless, with picks spread around. 4th team? No idea. I'd guess Brooklyn, but that's wild speculation. I'm worried if its more than just Ryno leaving. I know Carmelo is an upgrade over Ryno, but I don't know if he's an upgrade over Ryno AND Ariza or Capela or Gordon. You need Capela for lobs, and Gordon was essentially our entire bench. I guess Ariza is more expendable with PJ Tucker in, but Ariza is everybody's best friend (and our best returning defensive player; in that, he'll actually play defense).

Ryan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 There's always Greg Monroe! I hear if Melo goes to Houston they have this new play worked out where when Melo misses a shot, he just stands there waiting for everyone to come running back down the court so he can take another shot and doesn't have to play D. He assumes 4 can guard 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Speaking of the Kings, their VP, Scott Perry, is interviewing for the Knicks GM job. Because if there's an org whose front office you want to emulate, it's definitely the Kings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 You remember all of us laughing at Lonzo Ball's terrible first summer league game? Last night he almost dropped what would've been only the third triple double in summer league history. The game before that he had only the second triple double in summer league history. Oh, and a few days ago he had the first ever triple double in summer league history. It doesn't mean he's going to be a star, but it's a pretty good sign for the Lakers.

The thing you seam to have left out of this report is what was one thing different he did between game one and games two, three, and four?
