Splitting a Bryant-Durant trap and spinning around Harden = SICK
edit - I should put that “trap” in quotes, but still sick nonetheless

Collison for Mahimi??!? Wut??[/quote]
from ESPN.com’s John Hollinger:
[quote]I don’t get it.
On the first day that teams could start making official deals, we had one of the most baffling trades in a while – Indiana’s move of Darren Collison and Dahntay Jones to Dallas for a signed-and-traded Ian Mahinmi.
Pacers fans complained that they were trading a starting-caliber point guard, one who led the team in PER in the playoffs, for a backup big man, but even that misses the more flabbergasting point.
Indiana was several million dollars under the cap. Mahinmi was an unrestricted free agent. There was no reason to deal anything to Dallas because Indiana could have just signed him straightaway.
I have no problem with the Mahinmi part. This was a good value deal for a big guy who has been consistently productive and is fairly young. He’ll certainly be an upgrade on Louis Amundson.
So help me out here. Why in the name of all that is holy would Indiana agree to donate two helpful players on low-dollar salaries to the Mavericks? I know the Pacers were worried about paying Collison beyond this season, but that doesn’t mean he had negative trade value. Sources confirm there were no draft picks involved. This was just a straight giveaway, with Indiana giving away two useful players for a marginal cap savings.
As for Dallas, it’s hard to know how the team got through the call without laughing hysterically. After being snubbed by Deron Williams and Steve Nash and not getting on the radar for Dwight Howard, the Mavs have been working on the difficult task of building a credible team around one-year deals and plunging back into the market next year…
Between this highway robbery and the solid one-year, $8 million deal for Chris Kaman, the Mavs appear to have most of their work done…[/quote]
Meanwhile, last year’s Odom-to-DAL giveaway keeps on lookin better and better…

LOL Dirk is going to get back from London after the Olympics and scratch his head wondering what the hell happened to his team.
there are certain tasks I’d rather use my iPhone over my macbook pro to complete.

He carried his ass off on that spin on Harden. Like the kids game though.
Kyrie Irving challenges Kobe Bryant to a $50,000 one-on-one game. Kobe accepts. Much trash talking ensues.
Wonder when they’ll do it?

In the vid they agree on next summer. I’d be surprised if it actually happens. Bryant would DESTROY Irving.
I’d give Kobe the edge on size, but in that video he dint look that much bigger. Plus he’s old

What? Bryant is hands down the best one-on-one player in basketball history. I don’t give a fuck if he’s 50. He’s not losing.

If Bryant played Jordan, would either make it to 21pts before one of them stabbed the other?

Pepsi vs. Sprite
How many here would take Lebron over Kobe in a one-on-one game?
Anyone else surprised at how much money Javale McGee was offered?
5 year @ $10/year!?!?

At their current stages, that’s easy.
If we’re going to speculate on each of them in their athletic primes, then it’s much closer. I’ve still got MJ over Bryant, but James vs Bryant becomes a legit discussion.
As does Durant vs Bryant – well, a 28-yr old future version of Durant – because only one of those guys is getting a clean look every single time. (hint: and it’s not Bryant)

Nah, that’s just the going rate for legit bigs. Just look at Hibbert and Brook Lopez’s deals, and neither of them have McGee’s upside. (or downside, for that matter)
I could take Kyrie Irving in one-on-one half-court ball. 6’3, same height and like 40-50 pounds heavier. I’d just barrage him to the post and win with size alone.
Jk’ing…calm down ******…

Ahhh… I just wonder if McGee is going to get any better.
