Look at '09 too and see where James Harden fell

His agent said they're not waiting for Portland, they're going to sign the first big offer sheet they get...

Sounds like Batum wants out, he's only 23, he'll get paid too.

Doesn't mean Portland won't match. Shiiit I hope you're right, cuz I hope my team overpays him

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Its not for leverage because they already sold the team,its not to keep the team in New Orelans because thats already a done deal..

It's not because New orleans is a big or important market,its a football market that really doesnt give a shyt about the NBA

What exactly does Stern gain from this?

 

[Grifter]

What exactly does Stern gain from this?

A fukk you to everyone else.

 

[tremonthustler1]

What exactly does Stern gain from this?

the satisfaction of knowing that basketball reasons was the right thing to do.

 

[CantStop]

1) NBA still technically owns the team

2) Because he knows everyone was on his ass for the CP3 deal

3) Basketball reasons

Stern needs to be put down.

Quincy Miller would actually be a steal for the Twolves.


Even though I think Ross would be a good look.

Teague in Karl's system.

For now I have Terrence Ross pegged to the Wolves (I'll post the full first tomorrow post-lotto, took me longer than I thought to piece it together), but I'd be VERY happy with Quincy Miller. A surefire 2013 top 10 pick at 18 now? Works for me.

I'm really torn on Ross. He's improving on his weaknesses, but it's still not up to par. I'm hoping some of these guards impress me at the combine and at the major guard workout.

and can somebody tell Chad Ford to get off Dion Waiters' dikk? He really thinks he's found the next D-Wade.
