Andrew Bynum with another dick move -- parks in handicap parking for the second time: But seriously, he did do it again -- this time in a Porsche:
Stuff like this highlights the immaturity that has been talked about for years with Bynum. He is a big kid that doesn't seem to think the rules apply to him. The Lakers are lucky to have Kobe on the team because without him who the hell would keep him inline?
Looks like Birdman has been up to some fucked up shit http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/19009257
PG food for thought: So how do the Knicks get better next year? The answer sure seems to be, "At guard." But what do they do? Is making a run at Steve Nash, as Amar'e openly wants, the answer? The two-time MVP is easily the most attractive free-agent point guard on the market not named Deron Williams, but that means he's likely to have multiple suitors eager to pay him heaps of cash on a short-term deal (including rumored destinations like Miami, Portland and even a potential return to the Phoenix Suns). The best the Knicks could do would be to offer Nash their non-taxpayer mid-level exception, a contract starting at $5 million, and Nash could likely do better elsewhere. Plus, if the Knicks target Nash with their MLE, it's all but certain they'll lose Lin, which would be borderline unthinkable given the potential for growth and development (and, sure, marketing and sales) inherent in the 23-year-old point guard. (Provided he's allowed to run things off ball screens and not just dump the ball into the bully block for 'Melo 35 times a game, per Woodson's instructions, but I digress.) It seems much more likely that the Knicks re-up Lin with the mid-level and say goodbye to the dreams of Nash running point, especially now that D'Antoni's not the Knicks' coach, considering the financial constraints within which Grunwald will be operating this offseason. BTW-the article basically say the knicks are screwed because three players (Melo, Amare and Tyson) get them to the salary cap limit alone. I think the Blazers should take a run at Lin . . . they can offe more than the MLE
I don't know the particulars, but Lin can only be offered a certain amount of money. I believe it is right about the MLE.
First two years of offer can be no more than MLE. Final 2 can be equal to amount that a team could have offered absent the MLE restriction. So if we wanted to offer him 10 a year, and have the space to do it, with the increase in contract amount of, what, like 4% each year or something, it'd be 5,5, 10.8, 11.25.
they can't due to the gilbert arenas exception mle is all we can offer for the first two years. lins an okay guard but he plays the pnr well which isn't something this club has been good at for a long period of time. id take a flyer on him but he'd be my seventh choice this off season.

Would it have to be something similar to what the Blazers gave Matthews? When Lin had control of the offense he was a beast. His courtvision, basketball IQ, jumpshot and his P&R play is something the Blazers have lacked from their PG for a long time. During Linsanity he truly did look Steve Nash-esque. But he could be the epitome of a flash in the pan -- but he does have all the tools.
Adding Steve Nash to the Knicks wouldn't solve all their problems. That entire franchise needs an overhaul, similar to our own.
Their cap is tied up with Chandler/Melo/Stoudemire and they look like they are pretty much screwed for a long time.
The difference is, the Knicks have the money. They don't care if you throw a big contract at them. The Jazz on the other hand had to sell Girl Scout cookies to come up with the money to keep Milsap.
I remember posting on here a couple of years ago (or was it BBF - pretty sure it was here) that when Denver had been in town, I'd seen him out around the town with a friend's little sister, who was NOT 18. Maybe he likes 'em young.
he also turned the ball over so much rookie westbrook would be impressed. would need a coach who would let him make those turnovers without pulling him tell he gets it undet control which loooking at most pgs takes 2 years of starting. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
With Minneapolis finally getting their new NFL stadium approved by the State the renovation of Target arena (tied with this plan) will also start: This is something PA should think about. The commons area and exterior are embarrassingly outdated. It really hasn't aged well in terms of design.
