YessSir32 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Now, ESPN has reported that the Lakers offered Lamar Odom and Luke Walton for Andre Igoudala. Yeah, that's going to happen. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Since when are the Lakers letting David Kahn propose trades for them?How are Odom and Brand going to play together? How is Odom going to stay motivated? And Luke freaking Walton? They're joking, right? Furthermore, the Sixers aren't enthusiastic about getting Chris Kaman because his contract is expiring. In that case, why would they take on Odom's expiring contract? They certainly wouldn't do it for the sweetener (Walton), that's for sure.Luckily, as Neil Olshey says, by the time a trade rumor hits the Internet, it's probably dead. Seeing as how we haven't heard a Clippers Iguodala-related rumor in a while, that might be a good sign. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Trade confirmed as a done deal:The Bucks receive: Stephen Jackson, Beno Udrih, and the No.19 pick from CharlotteThe Kings receive: John Salmons and the No.10 from the BucksThe Bobcats receive: Corey Maggette and the No. 7 pick from SacramentoCan't really pass judgment on this deal until we see who they drafted...but right now, everybody got worse. EDIT: Looking at the money involved...the Bucks won this deal. They shed Salmons & Maggette. Big win for Milwaukee, here. Everybody else took an L.

sportsfan0518 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think the Nets have to resign Kris Humphries. He is developing chemistry with DWILL and Lopez. Also Kim Kardashian said she would become a season ticket holder for the Nets if he resigns with them. Also, the Nets are a horrible drafting team so expect them to get a bust tonight.

Eye Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Above all else, CBA ends on July 9th. Summer League has been canceled. I'm not too hopeful about the NBA starting on time in November, which is a shame considering this past season was one of the most entertaining in recent memory & the NBA's popularity is at an all-time high. I just hope we get to see a shortened season at best.It's that bad that the league is going to have to HOPE for a shortened season?Sixers president Rod Thorn met with the soon-to-be new owners, and one of the things they discussed is what they'd like to see done with Iguadala. The Sixers have always been reluctant to trade him, despite how little their ever-shrinking fan base thinks of him, so maybe the new guys want him gone. Still don't understand why anyone would buy the team under the terms it's being sold for, but I guess that's why their billionairs and I'm only a thousandaire.What the hell, I thought Philadelphia liked the Sixers. I guess the Flyers get the bulk of the support by a mile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd76 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Philly only likes the Sixers when they're good and they don't have anyone that you'd pay to see (not Iguodala, not Brand, not Holiday). The Phillies and Eagles sell out every game and are tops in the city, with the Flyers right behind them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Phila doesn't "dislike" the sixers, it's just that once Pat Croce departed as president, it was clear that the ownership didn't really care about them and didn't put competent basketball in charge. They became the anti-flyers - a team that's just kinda there. Irrelevant, if you will. Doug Collins has helped a lot as far as winning people back, but as long as they're just the Flyers neglected little brother, it's hard for people to care.

The next-to-last time the two groups had serious talks, the owners proposed a $45 Million hard salary cap, and apparently the players' response to that resulted in them almost recreating the climax of "Enemy of the State". Then the last time they had talks, the owners still proposed a hard cap, and the players just are not going to accept a hard cap. If this sounds familiar, it's because this is almost a mirror image of the labor issues that the NHL had a few years ago.So yeah, it'd be a huge shock/miracle if we see all 82 next season.EDIT: Ron Artest has legally changed his name to Metta World Peace. The name on the back of his jersey will read "PEACE." Ron Artest, ladies & gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all I will say there.The 'wolves may have some issues as Williams still thinks that he is better at the 3 as opposed to playing the 4, where he should.

DustDevil61 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So, the Jazz take Kanter. Too bad that Derrick Williams wasn't available at #3, but Kanter looks promising. I'm feeling Alec Burks if Jimmer isn't around at #12.If he wears the number 0, I hope he doesn't turn out like the last Jazz player to wear zero (00):Ostertag's position in that photo is on par with matching his (in)famous tatoo: AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So, the Jazz take Kanter. Too bad that Derrick Williams wasn't available at 3, but Kanter looks promising.Interesting pick....I guess that leaves the possibility for Jimmermania at 12? I'm not saying I think they picked Kanter over Knight for that reason, but if Jimmer's still around at 12, it's hard to imagine they'd pass on him. I was expecting Knight at 3, so I'm very interested now to see which route they take with this next pick.As for Kanter, I haven't seen a whole lot of him, but everything I've read seems pretty promising. Let's just hope he pans out like some out there say he will! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
