20 points on 20 shots, goat.

Garnett is molesting Pau at will tonight.

Sick deal for both teams involved, Nets get a superstar they would have used their cap on, CP3 now definitely helps bring in a 2nd star in FA like LBJ or Bosh. Hornets are always looking to clear cap, and this helps them restart over again with rebuilding, I think CP3 will be in a different uniform in the 2011 season.

Well did you see his immature 'ball' post-game interview? Sure, as funny as it was, it was also immature and he should have just answered the question. He went out partying after missing a game as well, or something like that? His body language has been horrible all year, and it was obvious he didn't give his full effort most of the time. I see your statistics, and I have actually used them before to show that statistically Hedo didn't do much worse than normal, but it was clear he wasn't playing as hard as possible, not to mention he was never in shape all year, not even at the end of the year. The stats you are showing is what is so frustrating, he did all of what he normally did without trying, we KNOW he can be a better player, we saw it in the games where he actually played his tail off.... there were only a few times, but when he did he was a really good player for us. The fact of the matter is, rather than adjusting his own game to the role the coach wanted him to have, he just sulked and did nothing when the ball wasn't in his hands. Another reason this is so frustrating is that this isn't the first time a player played like [expletive] for us then requested a trade, and diminished his value so all we could get was a bag of basketballs and Joey Graham. In the end, I have no problem if you want out of an organization, but you do it professionally. You give 100% your time there, and you ask out quietly so the team can still get value for you. This season, Sonny Weems>Hedo Turkoglu, I don't care what Hedo has DONE, what he DID was nothing better than Sonny did for us when he played, and frankly that is just unacceptable no matter how unhappy you are.

Weather.

Yes, he doesn't get to demand a trade and then give our GM preferences on where he wants to play. Lol.... there is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion privately to your ORGANIZATION, has Hedo done that? No, he ran to the Turkish media and says he wants out. It isn't better to complain publically because now we will struggle to get any sort of value for him, we have literally 0 leverage in a Hedo trade now. After watching Wade for 7 years I figure you would know how a professional athlete should carry himself, I guess not, seeing the way you defend Hedo is insane. So it is our fault that he didn't enjoy his time here and played with no heart or effort? He hardly even made an effort to be effective this year, he was unable or unwilling to alter his game for the benefit of the team. Best option is a trade, but Hedo's behaviour now prevents us from getting any sort of possible value than we will now get. Lol. So when Pikachu faced off against Onyx he was supposed to give up and not try? Because that is exactly what he did, and now he is telling everyone he wants away from Ash, but what trainer is going to give Ash anything for him now that they know he wants out and has a bad attitude?

16 or 17 PPG next year if Bosh is gone.

Nate if he gets the reigns to do w/e the hell he wants. EDIT: Also only on his homecourt.

I think the difference between me and a lot of people against the deal, is my faith in BC, and the Raptors staff, to draft and develop a player in the mid-first round, have we ever done it before? I doubt we do it now, I would rather just get two established NBA players who are both no older than 22 and probably still have a ways to go before they are complete players. I like Jarret Jack, but he is a fringe starter in the NBA, Thad Young has always been a guy I really liked, Lou is like 4 years younger than Jack and we aren't going anywhere right now in terms of competing, so we might as well get younger. I just want Thad, if it costs us Jack then so be it, Jack would be great to keep if we are keeping Bosh and trying to win next year, but since we probably aren't, we might as well re-tool and get considerably younger, Thad is like as young as any rookie we would pick anyways. I am neutral on Lou, he isn't really a PG but he really isn't that much worse than Jack is he? He looks like a gunner but playing in an actual offense (that Sixers team was a mess last year) surely he would be a bit better. I imagine he would take Jose's starting spot within 20 games, he was beasting last year before AI came in IIRC. I like this deal a lot, especially if we are getting Bynum.... but what is a more valuable asset? A 27 year old solid PG in Jack, or a 22 year old PG in Lou who has shown some solid promise offensively, and a 21 year old Thad who in his sophomore season looked poised to become a 20 point player one day?

Doug Smith has stated a few times that teams will take him, we just won't be getting an expiring back for him.

That Rihanna song is going to get major play on the radio methinks.

Glen Davis>KG, too bad he isn't a couple inches taller, that kid plays his nuts off.

I think Jose starts at PG for us. Bynum-Bargs-Thad-Demar-Jose(Lou) is a starting 5 I would be happy with, even though we would probably only win 30 games at most, that is a lot of solid young talent on one team. EDIT: Ya I agree, it makes most sense if we are getting Bynum.

I make this trade instantly, trade Hedo for whatever you can get, get Bynum for Bosh and we are looking at a nice young team. if we keep Hedo, Lou is the perfect PG to play alongside him. Bynum-Bargs-Thad-Demar-Jose/Lou FTW!

Talking to Myself is awesome.

I am on the first song, I don't like it.

So this album finally leaked, downloading now.

I agree with you, also he is their best spot up shooter on the bench.

I have always believed Bosh for whoever Nets pick at 3 is a possibility if LBJ signs there, or agrees to. Other than that I don't see how we can move up in the lotto. Maybe Evans+Banks+Demar for Brand and the pick makes sense, otherwise I don't see it, even then I think that is a huge longshot, I don't see them trading the pick just to dump a contract. I would offer our entire roster for the pick and take on any contracts tho lol.

All Celtics have to do is win 2/3 on their home court and they have a great shot at this, no chance they win all 3, I expect things will be ugly when the Celtics shoot 15 more free throws than the Lakers on their home court.

It is a lateral move that would likely cost us our pick this year, if we can do it without giving up much else then okay, otherwise it is pretty pointless.

Lol 80% of the time that is a foul, if Kobe doesn't already have 5 fouls, at that point in the game, that is a foul.

You should be glad Kobe even got to play in the last portion of the game.
