DougN Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Today's the Rocket's deadline I believe. If I see Jeff Green traded anywhere, I'm going to be sullen all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't think its a hard deadline though. Moreso the Rockets wanting to get this situation over with soon and since Dec. 15th was the day that more players become available for trade. EDIT: Reading more on the Rockets-Asik deadline. It seems the Rockets came up with the deadline as a countdown to the Feb. 20th deadline, so whoever they get they'd be able to deal by then, which it being Morey isn't surprising. Is there a page covering all of Morey's trades since taking over for the Rockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, remember the (early) 80s? See, that's the thing, I wasn't around for it, but if it were happening now I think I could find some joy in the absurdity of it all. It would be like the Knicks only with absolutely no success at any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Los Angeles Lakers@Lakers5m Injury Update: Kobe Bryant has a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau in his left knee. He is expected to miss 6 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) This is even worse with no point guard on the roster for at least another week or whenever Farmar comes back. Lakers should be deep in the thick of the lottery now. The impressive thing about Kobe was that he played the 4th quarter against the Grizzlies with that injury. His pain tolerance is pretty amazing. I should mention, I watched the 4th quarter and the bench was great in that game and Pau was looking like Pau again. Funny how Pau will struggle for a time, complain, apologize, then play well again. It must be his way of getting motivated. Hopefully he can continue to play well because now he's gotta step up as the focal point on offense. Also, how weak was last year's roster that the Lakers had all these injuries and by the end they had Goudelock/Morris as a backcourt and this year they've gotten a lot out of Meeks, Young and Henry at guard. Losing 4 guards though is a bit much. Edited December 19, 2013 by AlfredoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfredoE Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 STEVE NASH GONNA MISS ANOTHER MONTH!!!! Not like he's done much since joining the Lakers, but what a horrible trade that turned out to be. WHAT NEXT? Should I just turn off the internets?

I need the Lakers to start Nick Young at PG for "basketball reasons". Do it, D'Antoni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 http://www.theonion.com/articles/friends-family-say-derrick-rose-hasnt-said-single,34793/ Friends, Family Say Derrick Rose Hasn’t Said Single Word In Past 17 Days SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF • Sports • Health • NBA Basketball • ISSUE 49•50 • Dec 10, 2013 CHICAGO—Close friends and family confirmed Tuesday that Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has remained completely silent for the past 17 days, failing to utter one word since learning that the torn meniscus in his right knee will cause him to miss a second consecutive season. “Derrick just sits there; he hasn’t even moved,” said a friend who wished to remain anonymous, adding that the three-time All-Star spends most of the day on the couch staring at the ceiling. “Yesterday he inhaled deeply like he was about to say something, but then he just sighed and changed the TV channel he was watching.” Rose’s mother, Brenda, reportedly visited over the weekend and told her pajama-wearing son to remain positive in the face of adversity—an encouragement sources said the 2011 NBA MVP responded to with a shrug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
