im sure he was being sarcastic meaning he wont win and likely be blown out in voting.

 

[DJT]

Maybe, he seemed serious to me though.

The New Orleans Hornets and free-agent Carl Landry have agreed to a new contract, sources said Thursday morning.

Landry, who had been aggressively pursued by several teams, including the Portland Trail Blazers, accepted the Hornets' proposal. He likely will step directly into the starting power forward role, left vacant when David West signed with the Indiana Pacers.

Love it.

 

[DJT]

Sounds like Crawford has narrowed it to Kings or Blazers.

Personally I'd prefer the Blazers for him, replace Roy, and the Kings have enough scorers.

Hornets signed a Mexican!!!

Gustavo Ayon has agreed to play for the New Orleans Hornets the next three seasons, the last option of the club. The pivot of Mexico, who had a contract in force with the Fuenlabrada, Madrid set to compensate the 1.5 million dollars, according to his agent confirmed to MARK U.S., Emilio Duran.

 

[Pugz]

is he any good? lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

is he any good? lol

I don't know anything about him lol

Though I guess the Hornets giving him a 3 year deal says something?

 

[Pugz]

[DJT]

This is not the superstar the Nets need — or the guy that keeps Deron Williams with the team into Brooklyn — but it would be a nice step forward.

Sportando out of Europe reports Andrei Kirilenko — currently playing well for CSKA Moscow — is close to a multi-year deal to join the New Jersey Nets.

I’d like to see what they are paying him before I say how much I like the signing, but this is a good fit on paper. The shot blocking and high-flying game of AK-47 contrasts with Brook Lopez and his more traditional post game. It gives Deron Williams a couple kinds of options — he can look at the matchups and exploit what works best for the Nets.

Kirilenko has played his entire career in Utah and last season gave them 11.7 points and 5.7 rebounds a game. He was an All-Star once but he is not that guy anymore, what he is still is an above-average NBA forward with real length that he knows how to use.

He’s not the star the Nets needs, but he’s a good role player. If they don’t overpay for him.

high-flying game of AK-47

wahhh? lol. anyways, if hes on a solid contract like no more than $5Mill yearly for say three years then its not bad. hes not worth much more and doesnt really put them in the playoff hunt.

 

[Elite]

Not liking the multi-year part of the deal for them.

Just going up on ESPN online: Sources say Nuggets and restricted free agent Arron Afflalo agree to five-year deal in excess of $43 million

 

[Elite]

Why?

 

[Hurricane Season]

Good deal for both sides.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

sounds like Knicks going with Steve Novak over Posey.

 

[RipCity32]

Afflalo is the man. Fuck Dumars for trading him.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I so wanted Boston to draft Afflalo when he was in the Draft

truth be told, I believed Afflalo was so dominant in college, I picked Wisconsin to go to the Final 4 that year..... they lost in Round 2

 

[RipCity32]

Wisconsin?
