    Who the hell is this incarceratedbob? He has been money with the MLB. He broke Reyes to the Marlins and was one of the first in on Pujols/Angels...

    The signing was required to meet their minimum quota of white guys. Indy just got less white and now trails Utah by one in total team whiteness.

    It's not as bad as 3 yrs, 24 mil for a washed up Caron Butler by Sterlin & Co.

    How stupid can you get? You give up a lottery pick (that eventually turned out to be Kyrie Irving) to get rid of Davis' contract (when talk of there being an amnesty clause was all the buzz), and you sign on another albatross contract that you cannot get rid of.

    Hornets cooling on idea of Boston needing involvement of 3rd team, considering package of Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green and picks for Chris Paul.

    Only way L.A. improves is if they can somehow land Howard with Paul. Until then, they just got considerably weaker without any size down low. You can't count on Bynum since he is almost as injury prone as Oden.

    Rondo > Gasol/Martin & Scola / Etc.

    The Hornets would be stupid to not take in a PG like Rondo over the fodder they'd get from Houston.

    I agree. I mean, they set themselves up fine to be maybe an 8th seed(Jack/martin/Ariza/Scola/Okafor), but there's no real future to that team, and no building blocks for a good future. A bunch of guys right in their prime that are not good enough to get you over.

    So if the Knicks use the amnesty on Billups, he wants over 25 teams to pass on him? Fuck it. If I am Portland I would snatch him up. Or can they?

    LOL I just watched on ESPN.com that Phil Jackson hasn't retired. He will be coaching next season. Hmmm, which team will it be?

    FUCK THE NBA!!!!!

    So let me get this straight.

    Billups is whining and will only go to the Heat

    CP3 whined and will end up with the Lakers

    Howard will probably end up where he wants as well


    Seriously, this shit is not good for the league
