Haha, remembered reading about it and one thing that stuck out was they found a turd just chillin’ in the corner of the room. Had never actually seen pics 'til I found ^^^ that. There’s just so much there that I don’t understand.
Also, do they hand out white trash how to pamphlets? A budlight palm tree? Bullet shells/holes in the basement? An El Camino with NO ENGINE in the driveway!?!? It’s like he was checking 'em off a list.
Y’all read the new owner’s write-up? Was fantastic. Link’s at the bottom of the last pic.
Melo to Lakers? Are there enough field goal attempts in the world for Melo and Kobe to play together? Would be interesting to see how that would work.
Also it is only one summer league game, but nice to see a good showing for Noel. I always worry about guys coming back from lower body injuries. Hopefully he continues to be healthy and contributes next season.
^^ I think it was on PTI few days back where they pointed that Bryant isn’t dumb, that he’s more aware than anyone of where he’s at in his career.
Point being, I fully expect him to embrace that ‘facilitator’ role that he showed flashes of two season back. Those games of 10+ dimes and at most 15 or so FGA per night.
Also safe to assume this was clearly emphasized in his pitch to Anthony (and James and P Gasol to re-sign) because again, Bryant isn’t dumb. Add in the memories they have of Bryant as a great Olympic teammate and who knows how this thing turns out…

True, I am sure all these things have been discussed. They just aren’t two players I ever imagined together. Also Durant and Westbrook both were in the top ten in terms of field goals attempted per game. So, it can work with two guys shooting a lot. I am honestly just interested in how this would turn out if it happens.
Apparently The Rockets are pushing hard to get Bosh. Wrote on here a coupla’ years ago that he or Love would be perfect in that system. Hopefully they can get him and keep Parsons. A Parsons/Bosh/Howard frontline would have to be one of the most athletic and defensively versatile in the league.
^^ Bosh to HOU makes so much sense its ridiculous.
But tough to consider them legit contenders until they add something, heck anything, by way of perimeter defender(s).

Agreed. Parsons can guard 2’s in a pinch, but other’n Beverly they don’t havy any serious backcourt defenders. Shoulda kept Ronny Brewer. Also, Harden’s gonna have to take his game to another level this year. All those boneheaded mistakes need to be gone.
No idea how legit this is but just got off the phone with my cousin and he said espn radio (he’s in Seattle) reported that LeBron James is gonna sign with the Cavs. They haven’t signed Wiggins yet 'cause they’re trying to trade him to the Wolves for love without having to wait the mandatory 30 days if they signed him. That means the Rockets get Bosh, but they have to sign him in the next 3 days so they can match the offer the Mav’s made to Parsons. Anyone lost yet?

God I hope not.
Heat’s biggest move this summer could be getting Shabazz Napier lol.
LeBron, Kyrie, Wiggens = top 5 team in the east
LeBron, Love, Kyrie = finals appearance

You’d assume that having an actual pg would spare some of the mileage on James. He’s what, 30? He’s got maybe 3 years before age and wear’n’tear catch up and his game changes drastically. Having Erving would be huge in helping him ease into that. Also, Wiggins and James play the same position and he doesn’t have enough ball skills to slide over to the 2 yet, so if you bring in James you have to move Wiggins. Actually, I think one of the main reasons James does this is contingent upon their landing Love.
It’d be really cool to see a completely different NBA next season.

Wanting LeBron back in Cleveland aside, I am totally on board with this. I know there are still a lot of ‘smaller’ pieces to fall into place after LeBron/Bosh/Melo/Love all get figured out, so the landscape could keep changing even more after the huge names pick landing spots.
I think i’d rather have boogie cousins down low than Love outside. I think miami proved this year that you need some inside presence and cousins is a young beast. Plus he was with lebron last night in vegas.
Chris broussard tweeting that it’s no longer an 85% chance he goes to cle. I dont know what better options there are between the young talent on the cavs roster and the happy wife/kids home life in cle.

Really? I agree that Love probably takes too many 3’s, but he’s definitely not afraid to bang and he can and will finish through contact. He’s also averaged like 13 boards a game for 4 straight seasons. Cousins can play, but he’s not on Love’s level. He’s also a world class knucklehead.
Man, I wonder how much of this FA shit is more manufactured NBA drama. It’s not like these dude’s don’t know what they’re doing. Anything to keep their name in the headlines…
Lebron is coming back to Cleveland!!!

damn it. I wanted to be the first to break it on tnation.
Everything should start falling into place now. It will be a fresh NBA…very happy to hear this. Can’t wait to see the Heat and Riley struggle.
