NBA basketball thread

[Rode Block]

Smart move by the Clips then...It looks like they're trying to become relevant again.

They have a great frontline that can play D...and one of the best Point Guards in the NBA...It looks like the owner is finally starting to take basketball serious.

Well, lakers should resign only Vujacic & Turiaf, I dunno what the fuck they need that fag Newble & Mihm for....?! I think they need to sign just one more center, no matter the skills, just in matter of injuries and one SF/SG player and PG if it's true that farmar is leavin.....

Can some1 hook me up what players have LAL drafted...?!?!?


Peace............

Farewell to the Seattle Sonics. The move to Oklahoma City for the 2008-09 became basically official today. Seattle will keep the Sonics name and logo, and are eligible to have a new franchise of their own at Key Arena in Seattle.

The Sixers have been looking to pick up free agent Josh Smith. That would be a nice addition to their roster.

Well, better that they looked for some young PG than 4 SG when they have KB & Vujacic.... Guess it is not good choose at all, but whatever.....

Thanx 4 da info...........

[HANZO]

Warriors offer Brand a max contract. If Brand wants success he should stay with the clips. if he after money the choice is obvious.

also i dnt kno which team is crazy enough to offer Arenas a $100million contract. his good, but no way is Arenas worth that. the wizards should let him go. they better without him.

[CharlesJones]

When is Seattle gonna have a basketball team again? That sucks that they have to move to Oklahoma. I feel bad for Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and the rest of the team because Oklahoma sounds like a boring city LOL. At least there's places for them to go to in Seattle after the game. LOL@Baron Davis signing with the Clippers hahahahahahahahahahaha. He's stupid because the Clippers will never win anything. I'm surprised he left Golden State. They were only a few games out from making the playoffs this year. I wonder how the Warriors fans, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Monta Ellis feel about Baron leaving. I'm sure they're upset. I bet the Warriors fans are still upset about Jason Richardson leaving. If Jason was still there, they could've made the playoffs this year.

[CharlesJones]

The Wizards aren't better without Gilbert Arenas. Gilbert is a very good player when he's healthy. It sucks that the Wizards can't seem to get outta the first round of the playoffs. They made it to the 2nd round about 3 years ago when they lost to Miami. From now on Deshawn Stevenson should keep his damn mouth shut about Lebron because the Wizards can't beat Cleveland in the playoffs.

Well if Oklahoma City is a boring place, that will fit right into the style of the team moving there. lol

[CharlesJones]

You trying to say Seattle had a boring team this season? Hahahahahaha. Kevin Durant is really the only good player on the team. He has a bad shot selection and i don't understand why he's playing shooting guard when he's 6'10. He should be playing power forward but he's so skinny.

[check two]

lol, yeah Seattle's team is horrendous. But once Robert Swift gets some more playing time after the injury, things should start to pick up. I heard that Durant has been bulking up some, and that he's around 150 pounds right now.

[Olive Oil Goombah]

I dont like Seattle moving. It was done because the owner is from Okla. city. Thats bullshit. So now Seattle has to get another franchise after they build an arena?? They have enough teams in the league as it is.
Stupid.

[CharlesJones]

Who is Robert Swift? LOL. Kevin Durant is 150 pounds? Hahahahahahaha. Tayshaun Prince probably weigh less than that hahahahahahahahahaha. I wonder if Tayshaun eats often LOL. Jeff Green has been a disappointment so far. I thought he would've had a good rookie season this year for the Sonics since he did good for Georgetown but as we all know, college is different than the NBA. Where did OJ Mayo get traded to in the draft?

[CharlesJones]

I agree with you Nicky. The owner of the Sonics is from Oklahoma? I didn't know that.

[CharlesJones]

What ya'll think about Richard Jefferson getting traded to Milwaukee? Milwaukee's team should be a lot better now since they got Richard. I'm surprised they traded asian center Yi. Milwaukee's management must've been very disappointed with him but he only played one season for them. They should've gave him more time to develop. I feel bad for Vince Carter because the scoring load is gonna be on him because he doesn't have that many good teammates besides Devin Harris.
