2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

[DJT]

I don't see why the NBA isn't pushing to sell the team more? Or are they?

 

[Mexi]

Try to get Amar'e maybe...um...try Blake Griffin maybe, Kevin Love...all the good/young bigs in the league...I just think Bynum for Dwight straight up is absurd. There should be more packaged.

it wouldnt be straight up

and why the hell would dwight extend in minnesota?

clips cant trade blake and without him, cant guarantee dwight stays

 

[DJT]

What is there in LA that would make Dwight stay? An old Kobe Bryant??? Who is clearly on the downward slope of his career.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Mexi it's not about the Lakers blowing any series. It's about the NBA running the NO Hornets and taking a trade package that is sub-par compared to CP3's talents in order to benefit the Lakers.

When the Lakers got Pau for shit, I thought it was just Jerry West doing his old team a favor. But now I think there might be an agenda.

 

[Mexi]

potentially chris paul

kobe's on the downslope, but with dwight, it gives the lakers a little bit bigger window

west is down. only threat as of today is OKC
better than being in the east with miami and chicago and the knicks

 

[elcheato]

Lakers need replenishing

 

[RipCity32]

Maybe the league's agenda is the Pistons sucking forever.

Mavs aren't a threat? Didn't we learn this lesson last year...

Thank you for confirming it being the #1 most lopsided trade in NBA history.

 

[The Young One]

Can't wait for when the lakers trade luke walton and devin ebanks and their 2015 first for Anthony Davis..

The Mavericks without Chandler are still a top 3 team in the West...

lopsided for memphis?

 

[DJT]

If they don't bring back Chandler or JJB...their threat status goes down a bit...though they will still be pretty good I think.

 

[Mexi]

The Mavericks without Chandler are still a top 3 team in the West...

fine add them

still better for dwight and the lakers than the bulls, heat and knicks and i guess celtics

 

[RipCity32]

I think we should all expect Chauncey Billups to sign in Detroit shortly after he is released by the Knicks.

Perhaps Rasheed should come out of retirement too.

Ben-Rasheed-Tayshaun-Rip-Chauncey

Would be ideal rebuilding situation.

 

[elcheato]

They got Marc Gasol for Pau Gasol. That was the trade, everyone else in the deal sucks. Opening up cap space doesn't mean Randolph was apart of it.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

lopsided for memphis?

Lol no. You act like Grievis Vasquez and Darrell Arthur make that trade worth it for Memphis. Marc is nothing close to his brother and they didn't GET Zach Randolph in that trade so IDK why you always bring that up.

Meanwhile the Lakers get 2 rings. God damn awful trade.

 

[The Young One]

Maverick Carter just texted me and said Chris Paul will not sign a extension in LA...I repeat WILL NOT sign a extension
