Orlando benefits more because Dwight would never stay in Indy

How do you know so?

Dwight wants to win. Thats why he stayed with Orlando this year, to see if he could get it once last time.

The size the Pacers would have, could honestly beat the Heat and Bulls consistently. David West would be a great complement to Dwight, Paul George has the size to "lock down" LBJ and Deng.

That Pacers team could win a championship, which is what Dwight wants the most.


Plus, it's Larry Bird's team, and that could factor into the decision as well. Dwight has extreme respects for the NBA greats like Kareem, Magic, Jordan, and I'd assume he would for Bird as well

No Dwight stayed in Orlando so he didn't have to go to houston or lose out on a shit ton of endorsement money.

Exactly, Dwight stayed because if his team wasn't in the playoffs he'd lose out on a ton of endorsement money.

 

[Pugz]

i really want/hope dumars will make a big trade to turn this team around. probably me just dreaming though. then i read this - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1057930-detroit-pistons-joe-dumars-top-10-worst-moves

i dont want him to make a move anymore :FUDUMARS:

 

[RipCity32]

It's sad when your GM has his own article devoted to how badly he sucks.

However, signing Sheed over Memo was not a bad choice at all lol.
The rest are all very true. Fucking terrible.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Anyone think I'm looking into the fact that Eric Gordon was in town for predraft workouts and was at Saints cap this morning too much?

 

[Pugz]

i dont see why it matters. we all believe he'll be back in new orleans because they feel hes a must to keep. hes going to be way overpaid though, unless they decide not to match. hes going to be there still.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I know one thing, dude is brave to get out in this heat. I'm a diehard Saints fan and even I would have had to decide if I wanted to go out there today lol

 

[Pugz]

ive worked in it before. so fun.

The Toronto Raptors are in the market for a talented swing man, and they plan to use their No. 8 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft to get one.

Toronto has made it known their lottery pick is on the market for a trade partner that can send the Raptors a solid shooting guard, ESPN.com’s Marc Stein and Chad Ford reported, citing sources close to the situation.

Primary targets for the Raptors are Memphis Grizzlies star Rudy Gay and multitalented Philadelphia Sixers forward Andre Iguodala, two players in whom the Golden State Warriors also have expressed interest.

Jonas Valanciunas, the Raptors’ No.5 pick in the 2011 draft, is expected to join the team for the 2012-13 season, easing the need for young talent.

The Raptors, who also plan to pursue Suns guard Steve Nash, could try to package point guard Jose Calderon and big man Ed Davis in a trade to tempt the Grizzles or Sixers, according to ESPN.com.

If they decide to forgo a trade and pick a guard from the draft, Syracuse’s Dion Waiters, UConn’s Jeremy Lamb and Weber State’s Damian Lillard are expected to be targets.

I really hope Dumars is looking into the Hornets wanting to move Okafor with the 10th pick. I'd trade basically anyone for that package, aside from GMoe and Knight.

 

[Pugz]

id love for a deal to be worked out. if we can keep our pick, gmoe, knight. anything else is fair game. we could then use the picks on project players. id love to get pj3 with a deal like that.

Too bad we have no trade-able assets because Dumars has his dick as far as it can go up Stuckey and Tayshaun's ass.

Would be cool though. Draft PJ3 and Henson. Henson develops while Okafor starts.

 

[Pugz]

thatd be ideal for me. dont see much happening though.

 

[RipCity32]

Well I'm 100% sure it won't happen. But it's fun to fantasize.

 

[Pugz]

it actually isnt with this team lol

 

[RipCity32]

True, nothing is really fun about this team.
