I like how the ESPN story is "developing" but says they've been trying to do this since February. Another example of just making up news.

Cause no one wants to take Biendris for $9mil, or RJeff for $11mil if they don't get a 1st rounder and either Klay or Barnes.
 
Dwight at the cost of Barnes or klay is a sideways move at best. They do t need a monster in the middle but they need those two. A trio of Steph klay and Barnes is a great future.
 
Did Dwight tell them be would play for them ? Seems like they doing this for nothing...because I'm not buying D12 in the state of California

Only way warriors are clearing space is if dwights people gave them a go ahead that he'd sign there

AND the lakers even agree to the sign and trade. they prob would but would slow the process up

I thought the point of clearing $34mil (bringing their total salary to around $36mil, or $24mil or so under the cap) is so that they have the cap space to sign Dwight outright without having to facilitate a sign and trade with LA?

that's what I thought :lol:
I think Dwight gave warriors indication he'd sign there. Hence the clearing space

I grew to be a Royce White supporter while he was in college, but I don't like what I see so far.

Anxiety aside, impregnating multiple women shows lack of responsibility and little concern for the growth of his basketball career.

Rumors of his weight ballooning make me question his conditioning program and work ethic.

Lastly, he should be putting up thousands of jumpers a day if he's not playing regular season games. His perimeter shot lacks range and consistency.

All of this.

I liked Royce game at Iowa State, 6'8 explosive do everything kinda guy but come on now. The biggest thing that doesn't make sense to me is why he wouldn't work on his game since he's not playing. With all the time off he's had since he was drafted, he could be knock down shooter by now. This sounds very Bynum esque like he doesn't even love basketball If he ever does play in the league I wouldn't be surprised if he does become a good player though because his skill set and feel for the game are great.
 
Shut the **** up about this Royce White situation. I know people that have awful anxiety disorders and go into work each day making close to minimum wage living paycheck to paycheck, while this idiot could potentially make millions of dollars just for putting a ball in a hoop, and is asking for special accommodations as a late 1st round ROOKIE because he's scared to get on a plane that every single other player in the NBA has to do. If he knew he wasn't gonna be able to get on a plane period then he should have said that from the beginning and got himself a different job. This guy has a bunch of random kids, stopped showing up for practices because he didn't like the way his NBA team was treating him and admittedly will go weeks without really even touching a basketball. From what we know he hasn't even TRIED getting on a plane so far in his short career so he could help his teammates and try to live a normal life. From all that we've heard and read he hasn't put forth the effort to try and cure his "illness" so I blame nobody but him on how his career is about to flame out.
 
GSW shouldn't blow up their team for Dwight. He's not worth it.

They're a young team on the rise. All they really need to do is to keep there core together and gain some more experience.
 
Very excited that the Pelicans have made some moves. Never been a big Tyreke fan, but his upside is still pretty wide open.

dude has had to get on planes because the man is bouncing from city to city and was even in diffrent countries last year dude picks and chooses when he wants to play that card , i dont feel sorry for him and his " condition " for a sec and hes doing more harm than good to his disorder and those with it. the rox and morey need to go ahead and just cut him dude is in the perfect situation in the state in texas with the proximity to other teams and the rockets willing to work with him on travel and a schedule. I strongly believe once dude is cut hes gonna be blackballed from the league and be crying about how he didnt get a fair shake.
 
I'd get rid of Klay or Barnes in a heartbeat for Dwight not both tho. Curry-Dwight combo is good but that doesn't scare me. Just like Harden-Dwight does nothing without Parsons and more shooters

Why would I be jelly ? I'm not Dwight Howard...and I'm not a celeb or pro athlete...so your state is pretty damn useless to me..
 
Isaiah Thomas is like Terrell Pryor. I feel like they can both be really good players, but they'll never get a chance.
