Official NBA Off-Season Thread. New 2012-2013 Thread Has Been Made. Please Post In There

[you go boy]

every team won except orlando... those draft picks are useless because those 3 teams are playoffs teams... and you have to be dumb to think bynum will not sign with philly... deron signed back with the nets and that team had nobody until they got overpaid joe johnson... at least philly is actually a decent team and been to the playoffs before and with bynum they will be better... cant forget they own his bird rights so they can pay him more than everyone else and it doesnt hurt that bynum is originally from jersey so the commute back home is that much sweeter...cant believe the lakers got howard for basically just trading bynum... now they got a team of pau, dwight, kobe, nash and artest . the rich just got richer

i wonder what ja rule thinks about all of this.

 

[hankmoody]

One draft pick (Toronto's) from Houston is better than Orlando's haul.
Kevin Martin's expiring contract alone is better than Orlando's haul.
Jeremy Lamb alone is better than Orlando's haul.



Please help me understand.

F The Heat !!!
Bring them on !!!!
You Heat fans. Lebron D-Riders better be scared.
Your team has ZERO answers for our front court and we got Nash to pick your team apart and kill you with 3's.

Stole the words right out of my mouth!!!!

What's stopping a Heat v. Lakers finals?

No one.

 

[hankmoody]

Just realized that my ignore list didn't make the trip over from yuku. There will never be a better time to re-build it. This is the only positive from this trade so far.

hopefully David Stern

Basketball reasons dammit......................



BETTER BE SOME DAMN BASKETBALL REASONS!

 

[humpasaurus rex]

Lakers need to make it to the WCF first.

 

[antidope]

I dont think this is a guaranteed championship for LA. While they may have a better starting 5 than OKC or MIA, in fact they might have the best starting 5 in the league, their bench is still beyond bad, definitely one of the worst in the league. It'll be interesting to see how this season plays out

i don't think that deal was ever as real as the media made it seem, after draft night at least. magic dropped the ball by not moving him then.

OKC, possibly Celtics.

who am i kidding its gonna be Lakers for sure.

 

[ultralightbeam]

LA still doesn't have a bench, though......

 

[ag 47]

That's true. We need more pieces. Can Mitch do it?

 

[airthompson]

This makes the Heat repeat that much sweeter next season.

Def not gonna happen. Yeah Im from LA, but not a Lakers fan if that matters.

Because everyone knows the Heat are a horrible 3-point shooting team.

 

[ggarvinxx3]

wow this is crazy... 

Damn dwight really is following in Shaqs shoes tho...

it gotta be tough if i was him i would sign the extension with the Lakers just based of that reminder

PLEASE, I feel sick right now lol. **** is outtline man

Do you understand what alone means? Jeremy Lamb straight up for Dwight Howard is a better deal for Orlando than this and so forth.

Jamison off the bench is no joke. And we still have the ability to move players around to grab a combo guard.

 

[shox23]

saw this at insidehoops
Don't worry Orlando. You guys will be gifted the #1 pick, draft Nerlens Noel, and then he will leave to the Lakers in about 6 seasons

 

[sorkoram]

OKC.
