Deron Williams got into a scuffle with AJ Price, and then this happened after the game.
@NYDNInterNets D-Will on Price: "Maybe he had some boys in the crowd he wanted to impress while he can with the little minutes he's going to get this year."
@NYDNInterNets More D-Will on Price: "I'm not a tough guy. I hate when people talk for no reason and that's pretty much what he did.
@NYDNInterNets Price, a Long Island guy, kept telling D-Will" I'm home." After crowd got behind D-Will, he said, "This is my home."

vid :nerd: ?
 
John Wall sighting at the end of the vid......:nerd:



Good to see the Wizards playing with some passion/fight at least. Last year a Wizards guard would have lifted up Deron by his waist and pirouetted to the hoop for an easy lay in.
 
Good for Deron Williams to put AJ Price, of all people, in his place. He showed him.
 
Derek Fisher may be back on the Lakers shortly as a loophole means he can join now... And I think I speak for most Lakers fan :x
 
so the rule has been in place for years and the lakers are the only team that just find this so called loophole?

Important update to our weekend report regarding the prospect of a return to the Los Angeles Lakers for veteran guard Derek Fisher.

Sources briefed on the discussions told ESPN.com on Monday that Fisher has, indeed, been verified by the league office as eligible to re-sign with the Lakers since July 1, which runs counter to the widely held assumption that Fisher had to wait at least one year from the date that the Lakers dealt him to Houston in March before a reunion with Kobe Bryant would be permissible.

The NBA’s new labor agreement stipulates that a player traded and then waived by the team that acquired him can’t re-sign with his original team for one year or until the traded contract runs out -- whichever comes first. But in Fisher’s case, confusion surrounding his player option for the 2012-13 season led to the belief in some league circles that he had picked up the option before the Houston Rockets bought him out. In reality, sources confirm, Fisher was bought out by Houston before he was eligible to invoke the 2012-13 option, which means that his contract was deemed to have ended June 30, sending Fisher to full-fledged free agency on July 1.

So ...

Plenty of dominoes still have to fall before Fisher, who finished last season with Oklahoma City, actually winds up back at Staples Center in purple and gold. Fisher, for starters, will have to decide how long he’s willing to wait for the Lakers to open up a slot in their backcourt rotation for him. They currently have too many point guards and too high a payroll to sign him now, which account for two of the reasons that L.A. -- as ESPN.com reported Friday -- is shopping Steve Blake and Chris Duhon.

Yet now we know that there are no roadblocks in the rule book blocking Fisher’s return.

He might ultimately decide to jump on the next palatable offer that presents itself, but I’m told that both Fisher and the Lakers have a level of interest in reuniting down the road if the circumstances are right, suggesting that the tension stemming from L.A.’s decision to discard the 38-year-old last spring is fading.

Man, Minnesota giving Kevin Love an opt out after the third year in his extension was such a dumb move.

He did? I could have sworn he had to be talked into that extension. Would not be surprised to be wrong, though.
 
A little birdie tells me that the uni advertising plan is currently dead. DEAD! Why? I wish I could say it’s because of the #NoUniAds movement. That would be ideal, but it’s not the case. The real reason, however, has a delicious undercurrent of poetic justice: According to the little birdie, the uni advertising program is dead — DEAD! — because the owners couldn’t agree on how to how to share the profits.
