@ the Robert Swift mention.


Biedrins won't get tatted up... he'll be like "Oh come on..."


Anyway, the next Warrior to pick up these habits is going to be Kelenna (if he stays)

.

 

[acidicality]

I think Kelenna seems like he wouldn't pick up the habits, i dunno. he seems like a reserved dude, introvertish and keeps things to himself. I'dput my money on CJ Watson

LOS ANGELES LAKERS

> 2007-2008 NBA CHAMPS!!!!<

Ariza - Bryant - Bynum - Farmar - Fisher - Gasol - Karl - Mbenga - Mihm - Newble - Odom - Radmanovic - Turiaf - Vujacic - Walton

Get out of this thread poser. Your Warriors fan card has been revoked.

 

[TheGodFresco]

In that Don Nelson interview, when he said his private was named AL i thought it was a subliminal hit to Harrington saying he's a D1ck.

Look for the Golden State Warriors to pursue Milwaukee Bucks forward Yi Jianlian strongly in the coming weeks. During last year's draft, the Warriors agreed to trade Jason Richardson to the Charlotte Bobcats for the No. 8 pick, with the hope that Yi would fall to the Bobcats at that spot.

The team was shocked that the Bucks, for whom Yi refused to work out, took him at No. 6. The Bobcats took Brandan Wright and traded him to Golden State. While Wright played well for the Warriors toward the end of the season, they still covet Yi, according to sources.

If the Warriors were to offer Wright and the No. 14 pick for Yi, that might be too much for the Bucks to pass on. The team is in rebuilding mode and might be ready to accept a two-for-one deal.

No deal. In my eyes, Brandan Wright is off limits unless they're getting a proven STUD in return a la Elton Brand.

Anybody else get the feeling that these ESPN writers just pull things out of their %*# so that they can write their daily column? So much of the stuff theywrite is ridiculous. I understand they're rumors, but who honestly believes that the Warriors would make that trade?

 

[daprescription]

I would kill Mullin if that deal happened. I think I would probably beat him to death with Nelson's dog.

I agree with you. A whole lot of these "reports" and "rumors" that I come across have no validity to them. ESPN writers are bored andneed to make some noise so they pull

out their

to attract readers. ESPN = National Inquirer of sports

.

Oh and for the record, we traded J-Rich and got Brandan Wright originally to get Garnett but that

fell through? Either way, we cleared up cap space and got an athletic forward for the future.

ESPNand what they think.

didn't charlotte actually mess up and was supposed to draft Al Thornton instead?

.

 

[nothingtol0se]

no deal. I dont want an asian version of zarko on the team

Yi is a horrible defender* while in the short sprints of PT from Wright, i've seen him hold his own with a few "rookie" mistakes here and there.I'm not so sure i'd even trade wright for yi straight up.




*he'd fit right in with his lack of defense

 

[acidicality]

lmao at us getting Yi
for Al+filler okay.

in addition, that trade is just gossip talk

. Right NOW....you'd haveto say Brandan projects to be a much better player than Yi; not that Yi sucks, but Brandan will be better, judging from the rookie seasons. If anything,they're the ones that have to include their 1st rounder.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Harrington + filler being offered for any player in the league... this time it's Yi.

It's always good for a laugh.

 

[enlightened thought]

damn you guys are up late...got papers/finals too i'm guessing...

 

[paul is on tilt]

Nah, I'm done with finals now

. Finished them last week

. Good luck on your finals/papers.

 

[japanair21]

Finals were finished today @ 3PM

2 B's so far, two other classes to be determined.

As far as Yi goes, I like his game, I'd like to see him get starter minutes, I wouldn't mind the W's trying to pursue him.

And it has nothing to do with him being Chinese.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Chinese? But your sn is JapanAir21. I don't seewhy you would have a bias for Yi

.

 

[japanair21]

Because he's Asian.

Don't front, all the asians in California (be it Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, whoever) are like OMG YAO! YES! ASIAN IN THE NBA! AND HE'S A GIANT!LOL!!!

 

[enlightened thought]

you frickin lucky bastards.

i loathe this bloody paper i'm writing. ugh.

no to yi. especially if its for wright. wright needs to def stay here.

 

[acidicality]

finals week is next wk for me, and monday is going to be a pain in the %%! because i have 2 of my hardest finals, i wish they were later in the wk so i'dhave more time to study

. sucks knowing that the majority of other schools are already done and these UCs are still in class suffering.

i'm chinese so i have a slight bias for yi but not really. i liked him a lot out of the draft but now not so much. i'm taiwanese anyway so chien-mingwang>>>>>yi

 

[dont be a menace]

I'm kinda opposed to Yi since I haven't seen dude play much and I rarely hear him have a good game. and also definitely not for Wright.

i doubt i'd even want to take Al + filler for Yi unless we get someone else as well

Ohhh

.

 

[daprescription]

the only good thing about a trade for yi is clearing cap space with harrington. I wouldn't want that overrated piece of %%@* on the warriors.

 

[livemyreality]

I wouldn't give up Wright for Yi....Wright already has shown a lot of practice. They are rumors, the NBA circuit is slow and some writers don't want tocontinue writing about the Finals. If the W's got Yi for nothing, then it could probably work. I would stick with Perovic and Wright. For some odd reason,I think Perovic can actually play.

 

[dr 715]

Wright for Chairman Yi* would be a terrible trade.

*All the credit goes to Bill Simmons

SOLVING THE RIDDLE
Baron Davis knows he wants to play in the NBA Finals. What he hasn't quite figured out is how to get there. So he sought out experts - pals Chauncey, Tony, and 2008 MVP Kobe - to get some answers.
