NBA basketball thread

Ron Artest is a great defensive player...but he can't do some of the things Lamar is able to do like...

Run the Triangle Offense
Rebound


If we trade Lamar then who are the Lakers going to have to run the Triangle?? Ron won't be able to pick it up this quickly...Luke sucks...Doing this trade will help the Lakers defensively, but hurt them on the offensive end.

I guess techically they dont have to sign them, but then why would they draft
them???
Cuz they aren't going to training camp w/o a contract so the only way to get
a look at them is to sign them and suit them up.

I may be wrong tho

some High school player went to play ball in Europe for one year rather then play a year in collage do you think this an become a trend?

camby got traded to the clippers although he is not as good as brand he still is pretty good the clippers have a good team while the nuggets wont make the playoffs next season

Yea thats definitely an interesting option...but i think they would be better suited
to play american college basketball to become better NBA prepared instead of the
euro game.
But if your a kid that doesnt care about college and needs to make some money,
its a good idea.

[hectis]

yeah 400,000 in euros is a lot in the states that is why it is a big risk drafting Europeans now since they would make more in Europe then playing in the NBA

[sakk]

shit 400k Euro is 1.59*400,000 = 636,000 us $ thats nice

[KZA]

Marcus Camby tradded to Clips for 2nd round draft pick


Clippers:
PG-Baron
SG-Mobley
SF-Thornton
PF-Camby
C-Kaman

beasttttttttttttttt

For every LeBron, Garnett and Kobe there are ten Korleone Youngs and Gerald Greens

aw come on why you gotta hate on Gerald? dude is a slam dunk champ. so what if he has a bad attitude, horrible work ethic, and absolutely no knowledge of defense at all whatsoever

now think about it when it comes to millions that is why it is a risk drafting Europeans right now

LOL@Baron Davis and Marcus Camby are playing for the Clippers now hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. What the hell is on their minds? The Clippers will never win anything. Baron and Marcus are retarded for leaving the Warriors and Nuggets for a sorry ass team that's going nowhere.

[check two]

Well I don't think the Nuggets are going anywhere either. They lost their only defensive player. It looks like they might be making a deal or signing coming up soon though, since they didn't really get anything for Gamby. As of right now, I'd say the Clippers have a better team than the Nuggets.

clippers are dangerous now if they can go through the entire season without major injuries. Kaman showed improvement every season, camby will teach him alot.

That was Brandon Jennings, the number one prospect coming from high school. I seriously think its a bad move on his part. Yes, he'll get paid, but I doubt he'll get the same experience playing in europe compared to the top teams in college basketball.

What's with all these guards shitting on U of Arizona lately? Bayless left after one year when he said he was going to stay all 4 and now Jennings is going overseas to play. That would've been the best backcourt in college basketball without a question.
