The Artesticle

We all knew he wasn't going anywhere and that Miami wasn't going to offer him much. Thanks for wasting our time Fish. I hope a contract gets done soon and this doesn't drag on. If we give him more than 2 years I'll shoot myself.

http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/playerbreakingnews.asp?sport=NBA&id=695&line=137769&spln=1 No details on the contract yet. I'm assuming this means Barnes is gone. Not sure if this seals Redick's fate in Orlando or not.

Why? I want USA to win gold. Lebron/Bosh/Wade should definitely play if possible.

sad face

He was a good pick by the Warriors.

oh great another eagles fan is gone looks like it'll just be us three this year

hahaha gotta love Jesse jackson

I've liked the Ebanks pick from day one. He was a tremendous defensive player in college. I heard he shut down John Wall and Evan Turner when he was assigned to guard them. He was projected as a lottery pick before the college season started but didn't progress as much as expected so his stock fell. He was supposed to go in the first round but fell all the way to us. I loved the pick when it was first made. I knew very little about Caracter but I read up on him and in high school he used to up against Oden in camps and held his ground. He was also projected as a lottery pick but his attitude problems in college killed him and he got kicked out of Louisville. He said he's learned from the past though and won't waste his second opportunity, and he's certainly playing like it in summer league. Obviously it's just summer league so this means nothing, but it's still encouraging to watch them play so well, especially considering where we drafted them. I hope they both make the roster and I'm rooting for them.

Michael Jordan can't evaluate talent. He drafted Kwame Brown #1 and then took Adam Morrison. His opinion is irrelevant.

If he leaves for more money I wouldn't mind. Understandable. If he leaves for vet min, which is less than what we offered, I'll be mad.

I find it hard to believe he NEVER once acknowledged him in 7 years. I mean, you'd almost have to purposely try to avoid him at that point. Idk why Lebron would have any reason to do so, makes absolutely no sense to me.

white boy got game.

They only have vet min and he wants a multi year deal starting at 5 million. Draw your own conclusions.

I sincerely hope Bynum can stay healthy for once. That would be a HUGE advantage for us. Idk why, but I have a feeling he'll stay healthy next year. He's not working out in Atlanta this offseason, instead he's staying in LA to work on his core and conditioning to strengthen his body and prevent injuries. I'm optimistic but deep down inside I know I will be disappointed again.

When Kobe was 25, he wanted to be a leader and he wanted a chance to lead his own team. Lebron? He wants to piggy back off of Wade and Bosh for an easy way out at a shot for the title. There's the difference. Kobe and MJ never would've done this. Lebron's legacy will be forever in shambles because he went to Miami. If Kobe's 3 championships didn't count in LA because of Shaq, none of Lebron's rings in Miami will count either. Funny how the man went from loved to like most hated over night

Nobody wants to play for the Cavs, Not even their own golden boy. Gilbert probably just said [expletive] it no one's coming here anyways, so why not

So Cleveland fans can now agree that Lebron is a pompous [expletive]. Great. If Lebron announced he'd return to Cleveland, Cavs fans would be riding his dick. hilarious RIP CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 2010

This year was Ron's first year in the triangle as well. So he'll improve next year My main concern is Bynum. If he could stay healthy for once we'd have no problems. But he is completely, utterly unreliable.

Cavs are idiots. They could've gotten Lebron a sidekick last year. All they had to do was part ways with JJ Hickson and they would've gotten Amare. Instead, they held onto him and got Jamison. Have fun with Jamison and Hickson when Lebron is competing for a title.

I don't know if they'll win 5 in a row, but it's possible. Thankfully Lakers already won 2

Raptor fans hate Hedo and Hedo wants out of Toronto. Hedo has a huge contract that nobody wants a part of. Not saying this deal gets done, but is there any other team in the league willing to absorb his huge contract in a trade? This may be the only option the Raptors have if they wanna get rid of him. Or they can just keep him on the roster and nobody's happy.

I take it that Knicks fans don't like this guy. lol

Says who?

because LA's economy is terrible and I'm a dick

lol wow...
