2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

[The Young One]

Rose would average 10 dimes with D12 and if they got a NBA quality 2-guard next to him.

 

[DJT]

There is no chance the Lakers get Paul AND Dwight.

Who the heck do they have with value outside of Pau and Bynum???? I don't see them being able to offer enough for either player.

Also Deron Williams said there is a 90% chance he resigns with NJ. (I said he'll probably resign)

 

[elcheato]

i dont know who you're trying to fool

semantics anyways

like if someone calls Joakim Noah a star and another person gets pissed
(lol did i explain that right?)

Apparently I'm trying to fool you.

If someone called Noah a star, my initial response would be that they need to get their head check, so no, you didn't explain that right lol

 

[Mexi]

i see noah as a star

im not technical when it comes to "star"

Horford, Iggy, Steph Curry, etc are stars to me

 

[Hurricane Season]

You must have a very loose definition of "star."

 

[elcheato]

Where do you draw the line then, Channing Frye?

 

[Mexi]

i go by name value

if a lot of people know you and your good, you're a star

you guys are looking at it technically


like if some TV show introduced DFish as "NBA star Derek Fisher", i wouldnt think anything of it

 

[elcheato]

TV shows introduce every athlete as a star of their sport.

 

[Mexi]

exactly

for these recent posts, i look at it that way, but not all the time

like when im being truly serious, lets say the lakers trade for steph curry. i wont say "lakers get a star PG"


lmao im rambling
just keep reading over and over and maybe you'll understand me

 

[Mexi]

back to my original stuff

cheato, Pau/Bynum/Odom are all great players.

 

[DJT]

Still not enough for Paul AND Dwight.

And everyone has their own definition of star...who cares.

 

[Hurricane Season]

They are great players, but I don't think there is a combination of any of them that is good enough to reel in Dwight or CP3.

Certainly not both, anyway.

 

[The Young One]

Doesn't matter how good Bynum is when he's only healthy for around 60 games a year

 

[Mexi]

Still not enough for Paul AND Dwight.

And everyone has their own definition of star...who cares.

yeah i know

the only way i could see something happening for both is if the lakers take gilbert or hedo with dwight

thats assuming the hornets take bynum and odom


lol this is so ridiculous

 

[elcheato]

Bynum and Odom aren't great.. I don't care what you think Bynum can do on a team that doesn't have Kobe. Odom is a super role player. I'm probably not giving him credit, but I look at him as that. Versatile, if needed he could play 4 positions, but not great.

Could always throw in NBA star Steve Blake though to get deals done.

 

[Mexi]

imo, you dont have to be an all-star to be great (though odom is an unofficial all-star)

guys like Steve Kerr, Derek Fisher, Bobby Jackson, Wes Matthews, etc are great players

 

[The Young One]

You're throwing around "great" too much. When people hear great they think of the top tier of players.

 

[elcheato]

Exactly what I was getting at.

 

[Mexi]

you guys are being technical

i say everyone's great. you're in the NBA, you're great

i throw great and suck around a lot lmao


Charlie Bell sucks. Raja Bell was a great player

 

[Mexi]

anyways, how about some BREAKING NEWS

NBA teams can't sign free agents until Friday, but the Lakers met with Kapono and were close to a deal for one or two years and about $1.3 million annually.
