What happened last night was the biggest joke I've ever seen in the NBA. Complete embarrassment.

Nets signed Johan Petro for 3 years/10 mill
prepared to offer 'big money' to Scola at 30 years old.
add in Outlaw and the Morrow offer sheet...and there goes all their cap space.
Blueprint for more than 12 wins.

- you 'sports fans' and your childish bylaws about who one can and cant support are hilarious......
- i havent been a 'team fan' since the '94 when the Suns lost to the Bulls. (at least in the NBA) teams dont care about loyalty and building a team anymore. if the team doesnt do anything after the third year they blow the team up. that makes it kind of difficult getting attached to a team, the players, and a system, when they're busy playing musical chairs because they dont have patience.
- it used to be teams got a nucleus of players and stuck with that team for at least 5 years. by the time the team was good enough to win a championship it was like going against a freight train, the players had been playing together for so long they knew each others game like the back of their hand.......you dont see that anymore. its that same thinking that got Team USA back on track remember?
- the only teams that still do business the old school way are Utah and San Antonio. and ill be damned if i let some childish +!* frat boy rules of being a fan make me feel some sort of way about supporting a team.

How can anyone think that this will even work on paper?

yet they have 3 players that demand double/triple teams.
a player that has won/lead a team to a championship, top 3 player.
a player that has had no help and still got 60 wins in back to back season, and is a top 2 player in the league
and player that isnt a first option but would thrive with other superstars around him. top player at his postion.
a shooter that will have open shots all game
and they all like playing with each other and won a gold playing with each other.
you crazy to think it wont work.
are they going to win 72 games? prob not.
But 60+ wins is very do-able

It isn't like they put JR Smith, Iverson, and Vinny Johnson together. They're unselfish and will have no problem playing together.
You don't play 12 people in an NBA rotation either. It looks like they are getting Mike Miller and Haslem will may stay too. You have 5 guys there, you need 4 or 5 more players that will actually play.
You don't see some veterans lining up to play with these guys? I do.

I think its because the trade to okc couldn't be completed until the 8th so maybe there's still paperwork or something left to do

If you can't see how this would work then you don't understand their playing styles as well as the direction Riley is going with the formation of the roster.
They are going to have Haslem and Miller along with a couple nice players such as Pittman and Vernado. The final 3-4 roster spots can be filled with guys who will take the minimum to play a role and win a championship.
As for the "egos" of all these guys off the court, sure, but their games are all very unselfish and this is something they've obviously talked about and were willing to do.

I don't see the Nets being able to sign Scola... It seems Houston is determined to match anything to get him back.

I'm going to have to disagree, especially considering the direction sports has turned with free agency.

what are you 12 years old?
True fans dont jump from team to team like some silly @** broad who only watches the superbowl or nba finals every year...
why do you think there are still franchises in minnesota, golden state, sacramento, and new jersey?
its called being a fan of a team.
fan of a player? thats cool but dont act like a wet *#%$%

It's not the change LeBron made that irked people, but how he made that change.
LeBron can go anywhere he wants, he's already given Cleveland 7 years.
I just think Cleveland didn't deserve the humiliation of being put through a circus after all the love they showed him, their local hero.

i dont see how he humiliated them. If any thing it was the fans thinking they had some right to keep him and Lebron didnt hold up to that. He treated cleveland no differnt than Miami or New York
