BallsToTheWall: Nba Offseason

liketotallydude 07.02.10	Yeah I am getting a little tired of this Lebron James ordeal. I just hope he picks a team already so everyone can get over it lol. Well I am Clippers fan I just hope we at least make the playoffs but never really happens lol!
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	Would like to see him go to Chicago. Fuck New York, New Jersey and any other shitty team that's trying to reverse trends by max paying top players for more than they're worth.
Inveigh 07.02.10	LBJ + Boozer/Bosh in Chicago Boozer/Bosh + Ray Allen in Miami Stoudamire in New Yawk David Lee in New Jersey Joe Johnson, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce and Rudy Gay stay put. There you have it.
Inveigh 07.02.10	and obviously Wade in Miami too
liketotallydude 07.02.10	I don't think he will go to Chicago cause then he will be in Michael Jordan's shadow. I know he won't go to the Clippers cause LA's is Kobe Bryant's town unfortunaly lol! I could actually see him with Heat maybe though.
Athom 07.02.10	7 ftw
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	I just want to see New York Knicks suffer for the end of time.
Inveigh 07.02.10	I don't buy the "Jordan's shadow" argument. I mean, if his goal with free agency was "to go to a team and be the best player in franchise history" then yeah, Chicago's not the place to do that. But his goal is to be the best player in NBA history, so he's going to be compared to MJ constantly no matter what. Think about it, has playing in L.A. kept Kobe from being constantly compared to MJ? Nope. I doubt the amount of comparisons goes up or down if he moves to Chicago. Did playing in Kareem's shadow stop Shaq from signing with L.A. in '96? I don't think Bill Russell or Larry Bird's shadows disuaded KG from accepting the trade to Boston. Granted, none of those guys were as big as MJ, but they were close. If big bad LBJ is scared of MJ's shadow, then he's not gonna win any rings anyways.
Inveigh 07.02.10	and fuck the Knicks. fuck the Celtics harder.
klap 07.02.10	god prokhorov is like my new hero. nice call inveigh on amare to new york, i wonder how thats going to work out
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	LOL 100 mill.
klap 07.02.10	yeah fucking ridiculous. and here i thought the knicks were going to be the team left out to dry
BigHans 07.02.10	Go TWolves and pacers.
Inveigh 07.02.10	yeah I was surprised to hear that was going down, I didn't think he and Mike D got along too well. Once the dust clears (which might be awhile), it will be interesting to see where the smaller FAs end up. Travis Outlaw, Shaq, Al Harrington, JJ Reddick, Kyle Korver etc. Lots of teams will be scrambling to fill their roster slots. Oh, and it looks like Mike Miller will be signing with the Lakers. They need a PG, but I still like that move a lot. When you have inside guys like Gasol and Bynum and a leading wing like Kobe, surrouding them with white guys that can stroke the 3 always seems to be a formula for success.
klap 07.02.10	if we don't resign redick i am going to be upset :(
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	JJ Reddick, how I hate that guy, not his playing just him.
Inveigh 07.02.10	I think Orlando resigns Reddick, they tend to always keep their guys, if only to trade them later. Even if they resign him though, I think they deal at least one or two of Reddick, Pietrus, Gortat and Bass. Rumored deal is that if Chicago signs LBJ, we send Deng to Orlando for Pietrus and Gortat. Works for both teams, Orlando gets a SF better than any SF on their roster and Chicago adds depth because LBJ would be taking Deng's starting spot anyways and we'll need to fill roster spots. To be honest though, I like Reddick a lot and would love to have him here. He's improved a shit load since coming in the league, especially on defense.
klap 07.02.10	yeah redick was probably my favorite player to watch on the team this year. that deng deal is interesting, although it would break my heart to see pietrus go, love that dude
Inveigh 07.02.10	Pietras gives one of the best interviews in the NBA, he's hilarious.
BigHans 07.02.10	I'm going to jump on whoever gets the best free agents bandwagon.
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	That's the spirit. Just like everyone around me with UF these past few years.
cirq 07.02.10	clips need to scoop someone..
TheBaneofSputnik 07.02.10	Lol, Chambred, you might as well go ahead and get angry now
Inveigh 07.02.10	if the Knicks don't get Stoudamire (but it's looking like they will), they'll be lucky to get anything better than the two guys they're losing (David Lee and Al Harrington).
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	In the rare yet improbable fortune of snagging Lebron I will be one of those million Florida based douchebags to run out and snag a jersey. Oh, the shamelessness.
Inveigh 07.02.10	ESPN.com: Wade leaning towards signing with Bulls and bringing either Bosh or LBJ with him. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! ZOMGODFNSDONBBDFBDSKF
Maniac! 07.02.10	Inveigh just made his T.V. sticky.
illmitch 07.02.10	wait since when do the heat have fans
illmitch 07.02.10	also fuck ya oklahoma city 8-)
Metalstyles 07.02.10	since I'm a devoted Orlando fan, I care most that they re-sign Reddick and also keep Gortat and Pietrus who're both great, solid guys. Orlando could also do with some more muscle down there - they should add like a good, muscular 7ft center who could mash well with Howard. As for Lebron, my gut tells me he might go to Chicago, but could also stay in Cleveland.
BallsToTheWall 07.02.10	Don't you mean Marlins Illmitch?
Inveigh 07.02.10	if OKC can sign a good PF or C they'll have the best young roster in the West. Shit, they already have that. I love their players. and yeah, I'm still cleaning my comp screen
illmitch 07.02.10	last time i checked marlins didnt sign cole aldrich 8-)
BallsToTheWall 07.03.10	I am one of the (white) 14,238 people that try to attend games when possible.
AbrahamLincoln 07.03.10	LBJ to NJ
8bit 07.04.10	BOSH IS STAYING IN TORONTO. :'(
BallsToTheWall 07.07.10	YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYY Bosh and Wade up in this bitch.
BigHans 07.07.10	Nice score for the Heat.
cirq 07.08.10	LeBron to the Heat
