Bayless is going to be a star in a few years, the Blazers would be very dumb to go through with this. Hinrich has peaked, and I don't see Tyrus getting much better.

What are JaVale McGee and Roger Mason like? I've always wanted to meet those 2 guys.

Creampie Booger

I just made 10 bucks at the gym today playing basketball hahahaha. One friend I usually play basketball with bet me 5 bucks I couldn't make a half court shot on my first try, so of course I step up and drain it. Then he says double or nothing, and by complete luck, I banked it in from half court again hahaha. The look on his face was priceless.

I HATE THAT SO MUCH

Salt water is your best bet. Any canker sore or cold sore I've ever had was quickly remedied by it. It will take a while to heal, but this speeds it up and lessens the pain.

I'm surprised he didn't go to the Celtics. I agree you'd think he would want a ring at this age...

There isn't a bandwagon of Lebron haters. I understand it's hard to agree with everyone when he's your hometown player, but it's hard to respect someone who can be so cocky, but also be a sore loser, as you saw at the end of the conference finals when he didn't shake hands with the players and blew off the media. Now something as stupid as a video of him getting dunked on is being hidden from the world to "protect his image".... Even you have to admit that's just ridiculous.

No more bald spot?

Haha damn that's worse than me. I went to bed around 2, woke up at 11, decided to skip breakfast and wait for lunch (which I just had about.... 30 seconds ago). I have a few early college classes coming up so I have to get my act together before they start lol.

Overall I'd say no. The West still has teams above .500 win % not making the playoffs.

Who do you think is the best non-all star player at each position? (Meaning they have NEVER been selected to the all-star roster) PG: Rajon Rondo SG: Ben Gordon SF: Kevin Durant PF: LaMarcus Aldridge C: Marcus Camby Honorable Mention: Andre Iguodala

Wow I've been waking up at 11 am every single day this summer... I love not working during the summer. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif

Eh, not really feeling the first one. There's too much empty space in the first one. In the second one, while most may like that style, I'm just not a fan of the render reflections.

^^ It was in the HoopsHype daily archive, they provide multiple rumors per day. It's not on the page anymore because of all of the recent rumors that were added. The official link said it couldn't be found, but the website did say it. Not saying it's going to happen though, although that would make you guys a much better team, and you'd finally rid yourself of Wally's plaguing contract.

They could always trade for a star with a bigger contract than the package they offer, and that would only take up some of the $12 million. Then they could use the rest on someone like Rasho and Childress. This team is just full of mysteries this offseason, you never have a clue what they're going to do.

As an overall team, I would say yes the Cavs are overrated, because their wins come based off of an MVP dominant player and his sidekick point guard. One all-star and one already-future hall of famer. While they get a lot of wins utilizing those 2 players in virtually every play, the "team" is not great. If you take out Mo, you have an average to slightly above average team. If you take out Lebron, you have probably one of the worst rosters in the league. They are a very "player reliant" squad, with no alternative weapons to come in and save the day. The Lakers have one of the most efficient benches in the league, and every player has an equal feel for the rotation and can come in and immediately provide help. If Kobe is having an off night, there are multiple people who can step in and pick up the slack for him. The Spurs have many energetic bench players waiting to come in. They start Roger Mason, and then Ginobili will come in for either him or Finley and light up the court. They have so many weapons: Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Richard Jefferson, Roger Mason, Manu Ginobili, and a 3 point shooting center in Matt Bonner. The Magic just got better acquiring Vince Carter, to add to their already huge list of weapons. It's not like the plan is "give the ball to Dwight and let him work", unlike the Cavs, who just seem to give the ball to Lebron and let him run the show. You can't stop him, so obviously that's the plan. The Celtics circle around "the big 3", but they have (had) a lot of effective weapons. Big Baby would come in and provide size in the post as well as a deadly mid range jumper. Eddie House will light you up from the 3 point line all game long, as he's proven to be a very effective bench player. Perkins is as strong as centers come, and is a big presence down low. And of course, you have the vastly improving Rajon Rondo, who is running the show for all of these players. So you see, the Cavs just aren't a team like these guys. They have one great player, and one unstoppable "almost unfair to play against" player (that's a compliment, don't flame). If Lebron ever has an off game, there's a good chance the Cavs probably lost that game. There just isn't anyone on that roster who can fill the void for a struggling Lebron.

This rumor was just shut down. Reports said these rumors had "zero truth to them."

Wow, they seem to take up a lot of space. I hope I won't be driving something like that in 2040. I like the car I have now. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif

Alright cool. Thanks guys.

I just got Adium to work, and my buddy list is added. Thanks for the help guys. By the way does video chat work on Adium?

Is this trade at all official? Because in that other 3 team trade rumor, the Blazers would end up acquiring Hinrich. I don't know how they would work out a rotation between Miller and Hinrich.

Hahaha Slurp.

I was just making sure they function with each other. So why would Macs offer iChat and not Adium? By the way I just downloaded it, but again, my buddy list wasn't added to it. Is there a way to add it?

This is why I have no respect for Lebron. I mean, god forbid someone who isn't pro scores on him. Nike just has to keep his image as "polished" as possible. Everyone gets dunked on at one point, why is Lebron being such a baby about this? And Nike as well for that matter. If anything, Lebron and Nike's images are being hurt more by making a big fuss about this rather than just showing the video without complaining.
