Real Deal

Nah, I read this at RealGM: But I'm assuming they may have been the ones to read it wrong.

Guys, if you see any weird boxes floating outside of the borders, or any alignment problems, color issues, whatever...please post them in here.

Oops, I probably need to create group icons. I forgot all about those.

It's nearly the same, just a fixed width (which adds the background). The only real thing unique about the default skin (which is what I call it because that's pretty much what it was) was the fact that it stretched across resolutions. Not a good thing, though, for all monitor resolutions.

I could, but I'd have to enable the subforum listings again, and that would probably force me to drop the team logo columns, because they would stretch on non-team forums (confusing, I know).

This is it, guys. Hope you like it. Team forums will be completed eventually. One player per banner, three or four per team forum, 90-100 banners altogether, with custom team colors and logos. Who remembers this background image?

How do you negotiate with someone who doesn't care if they kill themselves as long as it kills you?

Actually, Jason Richardson was a problem for Charlotte. Watching their games, it was pretty evident he didn't belong there. Diaw gave them versatility, and Bell plays defense and spreads the floor. Jason did none of that for them on a consistent basis, really. And I just found out that Charlotte added a first-rounder, which is just stupid.

Uh, NBA.com says there was a pick included...and that Charlotte included the first-rounder. :o What the hell?

Chandler has a player option of $12.7 million in 2010-11, and there's no way he's passing on that.

This trade makes absolutely NO sense for Charlotte.

It's Bryant. It'll be another 2-3 seasons.

That's weird that they wrote that fake article about his death.

We could use him, but we don't need him for a repeat. Shannon Brown is a pretty good player, and a potential starter, and as far as pulling down boards goes, if Bynum stays healthy, that's covered. By the way, how about our new summer league forward? Do you know which one I'm talking about? He looks pretty good.

NOOOOO. Man, this is going to suck. Chris Paul doesn't need anymore help. The West needs to get weaker.

Wade is better at attacking the rim and blocking shots. I'd say Kobe has him in total offense, overall defense, and pretty much anything else. I'm sick of Odom, by the way.

Surprise, surprise...it's Bill Simmons writing it, a Boston Celtics faithful and the guy who makes a living blasting Kobe Bryant. Yeah, Ron Artest sucks. He won't do anything for us. He'll be a freak, and we're doomed, just like we were last season when Bynum screwed up his knee again.

Don't worry, I'll add it to the site under your name.

Just a few things, Jake the Snake. If Oden scores 19 PPG, I will be in shock. Brandon Roy, Hedo Turkoglu, Andre Miller and LaMarcus Aldridge would be sharing 80 PPG with the bench, which includes Outlaw, Blake and Fernandez? I really don't know about that. And with Baron and Griffin, I'm not sure if Gordon will have the ball in his hands enough to average 22 a game. EDIT: Nevermind, Hedo is on the Raptors. Free agency is eating me alive. FML. Thanks Riot.

Who's the better dancer? That's all that matters in life, buddy.

I would like to think Brandon Rush will, because he started performing very well near the end of the season, and he may get more playing time this year with the Pacers. For the Lakers (since everyone seems to be adding players from their favorite team, haha), I'd say Morrison might have a chance, especially if we don't re-sign Lamar Odom. Oden may, but it won't be as evident or distinct, because the Blazers are loaded on offense, and that's really what people care about most. I'm also interested in what Luol Deng will provide for Chicago after coming back from his injury, not to mention having Derrick Rose as a teammate.

For one, nobody should have forgotten about Robert Parish. Shame on them if they did. To this date, I think that Bird, McHale and Parish (haha, notice I put him third) would be the largest, most-talented frontcourt in NBA history...and Parish had a hand in it, for sure. And man, Brad Daugherty...I really think he could've been something special. A lot of people believed he was going to have a huge, huge battle with Shaq for years to come, once O'Neal was drafted by the Magic. That was a matchup in the making. Nice article.

The Clippers are going to be fine. They landed Griffin, and they really have nowhere else to go but up. Minnesota needs Rubio, badly. They need him to become a top point guard in the NBA and to be this media giant. Big stretch...but that's what they need, because they aren't going to get that from Jefferson, Love or Flynn.

AT&T made a big mistake...not messing with 4chan, but just making internet users aware that they are going to start cutting your resources. On the other hand, 4chan sucks, and I truly hope that AT&T crushes them. As "bad ass" as they believe they are, the truth is, AT&T can severely sink their traffic and ultimately put them under. It's easy to mess with owners of small and medium-sized websites, mess with internet users from YouTube, etc. It's another thing to step onto the battlefield with one of the bigger companies in the United States, especially when that company has a hand in your advertising profits and your overall traffic and popularity.

That's usually not the tune you're singing when you guys are playing us. Melo has had a couple of good games in the last 10 playoff games against us. And by the way, Odom shot a hair under 43% against the Nuggets in the WCF. For a power forward that was supposed to play closer to the rim against a Denver team that really couldn't match his versatility, he completely blew it for us. One or two good games isn't going to sway my opinion on him. I want Odom back, yeah, but I'd welcome a sign-and-trade, and he's not worth $10 million a year.
