2012 NBA season thread

Christian Eyenga grew 2 inches, now 6'7 (I realize no one knows who he is)

He was only 6'5''?
Short SF he was. Assuming he did play SF as I thought?

 

[lonesomefx]

i believe he was a SF. that's good for him. length is a big deal in the NBA. Sk(E)yenga might put in work this season lol. In other news, Amar'e grew an inch according to NBA. He's now 6'11" ; I'm about to start doing stretching excercises :x

EDIT: did anyone other then these two grow?

 

[elcheato]

I think he was playing SG last year, but now he's definitley a SF. Someone also said he added 20 pounds as well. Prob the most athletic guy on the Cavs, if he improves his shot he could be something.

 

[Pugz]

he was only 6'5?! damn

 

[Pugz]

oh, i hope chauncey goes to miami and shits on new york. that dude gets fucked over all the time. i feel bad for him cause he still has a lot of game.

Dirk, Kidd, Vince, Marion, Odom, JET.

Imagine how good that team would have been 5 years ago

Christian Eyenga .. I realize no one knows who he is

how did we fuck him over? we need Chandler more then Chauncey. Chauncey's getting older and Chandler still has some years in the tank. Chauncey wasn't gonna be our defensive presence nor a rebounder. Big men are much harder to acquire then PGs and Chauncey has to learn to accept that. Miami still has no Center, but I hope Chauncey does go there. He won't be getting buckets so he better be dropping 10 dimes a night. He has to understand what we did. It's not everyday you get a chance at Tyson Chandler.

 

[lonesomefx]

only reason I really know who he is aside from Knicks-Cavs games from towards the end of the season.

 

[elcheato]

The Mavs chiming in on Lamar Odom:

So Dirk was asked when he first heard the news of the Lamar Odom trade. Said he missed it. He was watching Harry Potter 2. Really.

BREAKING NEWS: Rick Carlisle: "But I will say this, Khloe’s my favorite Kardashian. She’s the coolest." You heard it here.

Another Dirk gem: "...to get Lamar Odom for a trade exception - and I don’t even know what that is - we turned nothing into a great player."

 

[RipCity32]

Lmao, priceless.

The Knicks are seeking a three-team sign-and-trade to acquire Jamal Crawford, according to a source.

One source put the odds of a deal being consummated at better than 50 percent.

Crawford may be able to sign for a deal that puts his annual salary at over $5 million.

According to Ken Berger, the current version of the proposal wouldn't include Toney Douglas.

Sam Amick reports the Warriors are not involved in negotiations.

comments like this from people always trying to ruin a parade -___-

Happy to see Amar'e now that season is back: "Wait til his knees hear about all the back-to-backs he has to play"
We trade for Melo: "Too bad he just chucks up shots and plays no D"
We sign Amar'e: "Too bad both of his knees are fucked up"

Now this comment about Chandler? when will the haters STOP hating on the New York Knicks? sheesh.

 

[Pugz]

when most fans stop saying every plyaer will end up in new york lol

i never said every player will end up in NY. I said I would be happy if Paul didn't come to NY, but wouldn't be mad if he did. He's not coming... instead we went and got our number 1 need and people are still hating. People should really learn to accept the fact that the Knicks are back and will be a top contender very soon.

Lol it's not hating on the Knicks, TC has had a degenerative foot problem since he was a Hornet. It's the reason the Hornets traded him before having to give him a big contract. Last season he played in 74 games, but I'd be shocked if he didn't miss time this season.

Giving someone that has missed 75 games the past three years almost 15M a year for 4 years isn't the smartest decision. Yall will be stuck paying someone a lot of money who struggles to stay healthy in a few years.

im pretty confused with this Odom trade

not the actual trade itself, but the fact that they did it so quick and to a rival team

west is weaker than it has been
top 3 teams in the west are the mavs, thunder and lakers, right?

and they just give their 3rd or 4th best player to the mavs just like that


i want to think something else is happening, but i just cant see it.
hopefully the lakers can sign josh mcroberts. i really like him
