Seriously, NBA scouts are the worst when it comes to drafting based on size/potential. Andre Drummond is a terrible basketball player.

Completely agree. Think Hedo tuekoglu with dunk contest athleticism and shot selection. If he develops a post game or pull up jumper hell be scary good. Anyway, buchers report on hennigan wanting to get this done isn't close to the truth. Absolute BS report.

Honest question: why is the morale of our crapfest of a roster more important than dwight

Kyrie isn't lebron but that dude could be the best point guard in basketball soon. He won games on his own as a rookie and from what I've seen/heard has been doing work at USA training camp. His feel for the game, shooting, passing, vision, he's the perfect point guard. It's really hard to find a flaw in his game.

You don't think Dwight and Deron had an agreement? If the Nets were bare he wouldn't be interested.

Shaq was a different story. I'm posting on my phone from an airplane so I apologize. Tmac and hill was a great idea, especially if Duncan hadn't bailed. But grant was always hurt. Tracy literally was a 1 man team. I don't blame him for getting sick of it at all. Dwight hasn't played with an Allstar since 09 and only had Meer for half the year. Listen Dwight has handled this terribly and the yahoo thing pissed me off. But I don't hate the dude for wanting to win. We passed up CP3 because we loved Meer too much, we traded alway half of arguably the best team in basketball for hedo tuekoglu and Jason Richardson. People forget before that road trip that we ha the best record in the east or close to it. We're managed poorly and have been for a while.

I don't hate any of these guys. They've all had the same complaints and we do nothing. "get me help" we don't do it or we do something stupid. Fool me twice. And brook Lopez would be hated more. Way I look at it, of we were willing to trade Dwight for that garbage, I'd want out too. I trust hennigan though and have been lead to believe this is a smokescreen for the lakers. And they don't seem to be overly worried.

The same as the odds of the Lakers agreeing to a better Bynum deal.

I'll believe the Nets stuff when the Magic beat guys (not Ping) start going with it. They aren't yet which is why I don't buy it.

This whole thing is such a joke. "Nets need 3rd team" - Cleveland named - Cleveland reporters say Cavs not interested "Nets need 4th team" - Clips in - not sure what their reporters said "Cavs out" - Cats in - Clips out - Now back to 3 teams And through all of this, other than Ping, all the Orlando people say is we don't want this. This is such a joke.

Tony Mejia is ripping into Pingalore for false reports and being careless. Loving this hahaha.

Parsons, every pick they own, that euro player, and taking back Richardson and Duhon; Houston has a case there.

I really like Wayns and think he could be a good second PG. Also, Nicholson if he puts weight on has the potential to be a stud in the lowpost. High release point with his length. I really would like to get a wing in here, especially defensively.

He is an inefficient scorer. How many centers shoot under 50%? That's tragically terrible. He plays no D, is the worst rebounding center in basketball, has an offensive arsenal based purely on jump shooting who will be on a horrible contract. Take your head out of the sand. Brook Lopez is terrible, especially for that contract. :chairshot:

You can't say a C who has that horrible a rebound% is good.

I'm not going to compare my knowledge of the CBA to yours, but I had this conversation with a buddy of mine who does have comparable knowledge (also from New York) who basically said this deal isn't even possible and he put it "Stern is going to stand up, waive the CBA in everyone's face, and say 'am I the only one who knows how this works?'" Guys, please relax. This trade has about as big a chance of happening as LeBron for Dwight.

All the Orlando people say is they aren't rushing. All the Cleveland people say is they aren't interested. Yet we're all letting the New York media throw us out of wack. Come on guys, Hennigan isn't this stupid. Have you seen the proposed trade? Lol.

There's a difference between hating a team/ownership because of a rebuild. Any Cavs fan who left that team post-LeBron fits that because up to this point; that team has hit homerun after homerun. Waiters/Irving backcourt? That's crazy good. Now, in this case, I don't think anyone would mind a rebuild. However, acquiring the cap hell that Brook Lopez is and some crappy draft picks just to "avoid the drama" is pathetic, cowardly, and something as a fan I'm going to find hard to cope with.

watch replays of Nate Robinson's game 6.

Roll call: Who has given me a negative vote today and why? I need feedback for approval :sadcrab:

Calm down people. 1) "Magic are taking one last look around the league" - Jesus christ, that spells out smoke screen 2) News of this magnitude does not leak this early this broadly. Otis got put on probation for this deal. People forget that. And every report out of Cleveland has been "they're not interested" and everyone but Ping out of Orlando says "the need a lot more". Come on people. Calm down.

Ibaka is a role player. A very good one; but a role player nonetheless.

Aldridge

no Parsons? I'm calling BS.

He can't go to the Nets next year. They don't have room. Would love for someone to calculate the basic math of how much money Dwight would earn in the first 4 years of his contract here compared to 4 years in Brooklyn. Throw in income taxes. I'd just like to see how much more he'd need to make in endorsements.
