[freddypee]

Battier or prince.... Ohhh man... That's a great look... If ariza leaves eff it

 

[i nasmatic i]

Mikki Moore?

Dude is trash and along with Kenyon Martin, owes Jason Kidd money.

 

[pdoggy85]

EL OH EL at giving Paul Milsap, Shawn Marion, Trevor Ariza, and Lamar Odom 2 thumbs up while giving DREW FREAKING GOODEN 3. I certainly hope that was an error,like the hotkey got stuck and put 3 thumbs up out there instead of 0?

 

[CP1708]

Anderson ain't goin anywhere.

Milsap costs too much

What are we gonna do with Andre Miller?

Ben Gordon is already off that list

Marion, eh, Marvin, eh, .......Artest, no, Dyess would be nice, no real fit though, Turk costs too much and will be a Failzer.

I like Wilcox, but not sure where he fits. I'd sign Sheed just to keep him from SA, Bos, Clev, or Orld.

 

[badboyf0life420]

why would houston meet with ariza? they dont want ron artest anymore?

Going back to compare thumbs, making sure that 'If I gave this Player A this many thumbs up, then I need to give Player B this many', youknow many times I did that? None. Calm down.

I just saw the names and threw thumbs up on them. I really like Drew Gooden. Is he better than Millsap? Hell no. Marion? Nope. Ariza? Not it. Odom? No dice.

Happy now?

By the way, you didn't ask me why I gave 3 thumbs up to David Lee but only 2 to Marion. Do you think Millsap is better than Marion?

Or how about failing to ask me why I gave 2 thumbs up to Grant Hill, along with everyone else you mentioned. Why didn't you ask me about that? Because youthink they're all equal? You think Millsap is equal to Hill?

In defense of Kenyon Martin, dude is still a good player even without Jason Kidd.

And Ska, stay away from Kidd... He's the only good things the Mavs got around Dirk.

Enjoyed your ratings system though.

 

[night marcher01]

Is Chris Anderson available? did he resign? Man... he would be nice pick up!

He's pretty much the only person on the market right now who is guaranteed to re-sign with his old team. Denver loves Andersen, and Andersenloves Denver.

 

[MVP]

Hmm...since Ariza is gone, I'm sure we'll be making some moves, but if not we may finally get to see the lineup of Bynum/Pau/Odom/Kobe/PG thatwe've been waiting for...I know what you're going to say, that leaves no shooting on the floor, but LO did shoot almost 50% from 3 in the playoffs orFinals I believe, plus no team in the league would be able to match up with that. Unfortunately, that would mean our been would actually have to grow sometesticles this summer and produce, Adam may actually get some burn.

 

[goldmember]

Yep.. if we dont get both Ariza and Odom back ... I wouldnt mind birdman at all.. reminds me of Ronny too..

 

[daddyrabbit251]

Man I liked our team and hopefuly we can keep Trevor but RON ROCKIN A PURP/GOLD 96 NXT SEASON IS

Ron would be like our Rodman

Having seen ESPN ( I know they hype everything up), maybe there's hope for us signing artest. Could be the reason why we haven't lockedup Ariza yet.

Mitch Gonna Come Up Big, Just Wait Patiently


*Crosses Fingers*

 

[xxtowrxx]

Why not try to bring in a guy like Hedo?

And if Bynum goes down early again, it'll be time to write him off, cut the losses

 

[holdenmichael]

From CBSSports.com:

One-time All-Star forward Ron Artest tells CBSSports.com senior writer Ken Berger he'll be signing with the Lakers. React!

 

[enrique23]

i would rather have artest instead of ariza

Please be true.

It's being reported on a message board.

I could make the same post saying he's going to the Grizzlies.

I'd wait for a more "official," source.

 

[i nasmatic i]

It better not be a full 5 year contract.

3 years and I'm happy.

 

[k0befomvp]

if we can pull of Artest

he doesnt play defense and he is not a great off the ball player.
