Why would Dallas tie themselves to Eric Gordon? It ain't like he's any kind of consolation prize...

Like Cuban is gonna throw his hands up and say "F*** it, lets just suck AND have no cap flexibility for the rest of Dirk's career!" Yah, seems likely.
 
Tyreke was like Dwyane Wade lite his rookie year. Steph wasn't that good.

Unfortunately it's all been a disappointment for Reke since then
 
The Clippers reached out to free agent O.J. Mayo on Sunday, but the fit isn't perfect for a sign-and-trade with Dallas.

Clippers are highly interested in OJ Mayo, Doc Rivers spoke with Mayo last night, he wants him in LA.

Reports: The Clippers have reached out to O.J. Mayo. Could a sign-and-trade with Dallas be in the works?

THIS!

#1 rule of scouting is if you seen it once, expect to see it again...if j kidd, john wall, drose, bron, etc etc can develop an outside shot...so can reke...
 
The biggest thing bout all them dudes is you aren't winning **** if you're expecting them to be one of your two or three best players... And other than Igoudala, im not sure any of them are of the mindset to take on lesser roles to compete at a high level.

Reke is still young, so his value might be a bit higher than established guys... But that's a high price to find out.

I'm a fan and think he can improve, but I wouldn't want to use my team's cap space on it.

OJ Mayo is a better basketball player than Reke. OJ completely nosedived into the end of the season and still had virtually identical production to Reke all the while playing with Dirk. He's every bit of the playmaker Reke is and is far better outside shooter. Reke never had a stretch last season that made you say there was anything there.

I actually think Reke is better than Iguodala. I've thought Iggy was overrated for yearssss. For his hype and value, his production normally falls far short.

Brandon Jennings I would think is better than Reke too. I'm not a BJ fan by any means, but I didn't see anything from Reke last season that suggested he was better than Any of those guys.

JR Smith > Reke as well. Forgot to throw him in that bunch.

Bottom line, if Reke is getting paid that much I wouldn't be surprised to see all of these guys look to get deals in that ball park.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if Skylar Diggins went the Kim K. route.

"Leaked" pics in the interest of PR and generating relevancy.

Honestly, how many people would care or watch her if she wasn't attractive?

Same with my girl, EDD.

Source: Rajon Rondo will not demand trade from Celtics

If there were any indication that Celtics team president Danny Ainge was planning on putting together an intentionally bad team next year, it would be evidenced by the way he handles point guard Rajon Rondo who, strange as it may be to say, is not only the sole remaining link to the ’08 championship team, but also the ’10 Finals team.

A source told Sporting News on Monday that, while Ainge gets calls on Rondo regularly, he has no intention of trading him, but rather, wants to see how Rondo operates as the team leader without Pierce and Garnett around.

As one opposing general manager put it, “I don’t think Danny has made a single call about Rondo. He has gotten calls. But it would be wrong to say he has considered shopping him.”

And Rondo is perfectly happy to be part of the Celtics going forward. He has not issued a trade demand or a request or even so much as a trade inquiry, a source told Sporting News. He has no incentive to do so. In fact, Rondo welcomes the challenge of taking over the new-look Celtics, however things might pan out.

Though he only played 38 games for the Celtics last season, Rondo did technically lead the league in assists, with 11.1 per game, his second straight year as the league leader and his third straight season with an average of at least 11 assists.

But Rondo is coming back from an ACL injury, and is expected to miss the start of the season. Even when he does come back, he might not be quite himself from the get-go—very often, players need more than a year to fully get comfortable with a surgically repaired knee. Part of the goal of next year for Rondo, then, will be making his way back to 100 percent.

After that, Rondo will go into 2014-’15 at 28 years old and looking at the final year of his contract. Assuming he is fully healthy and running the show for a younger, more up-tempo team, he is likely to put up good numbers heading into his free agency.

And, although Rondo is the last remaining pillar from their title season, the Celtics do not plan to become a below-average team.

Ainge met the media on Monday for the second time in a week, and much like last week, he had little choice but to discuss the departure of future Hall of Famers. Where last week it was coach Doc Rivers, this week it was Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.

Ainge couldn’t discuss the deal that would send those two to Brooklyn directly—the trade becomes official on July 10—but he did address the notion that he was planning to tank the coming season in order to gain a more favorable place in next year’s draft, which is expected to be stacked with talent.

“We are not tanking,” Ainge said. “That’s ridiculous. This is the Boston Celtics.”

Ainge had little choice but to trade Pierce and Garnett, and get what he could for them in return. But when it comes to Rondo, he is not looking to unload, not looking to give up talent in order to intentionally be bad next year. And Rondo is not looking to get out, either.

Della dunne is a banger but I think the fact that diggins balls makes her more attractive not vice versa. She's good looking but not gorgeous IMO.
