I like how Pops is actually a nice guy 

 

[friscostylez]

Gerald Green had mad potential, I remember folks comparing him to a young T-Mac

can you imagine all the money Gearld Green and JR Smith lost by their lack of BBIQ and maybe work ethic? :x :x

Little did I know they were boneheads

He only gets ornery over the dumb things the NBA forces him to do, like in-game interviews.

Repped for knowing how to spell that.

So many on Google right now typing in ornery

Obviously a steal but KG deserved it.... out of curiosity tho, What/who were those two 1st round picks?

I don't have to really say this but I will anyway... If Telfair had worked harder in practice and on the court that would have been Rondo in that pic...

Wanted to see Telfair stay in Boston with that championship team. Always liked him

oj mayo then they traded him i think 

pekovic 

ended up with kevin love too 

decent draft beasley went 2nd 

 

[Quincy McCall]

Machine is Byke?

 

[denni5themenace]

the machine

Machine/Dragic rivalry byke

Gerald never figured out how to play NBA defense. He's too often in the wrong position and his athleticism can't make up for it. I don't think his BBIQ is very high.

From Shams / RealGM:

Sasha Vujacic signing a one-year, $1.35 million deal

Free agent guard Sasha Vujacic has reached agreement on a $1.35 million veteran-minimum contract with the New York Knicks, league sources told RealGM.

Vujacic's one-year deal was completed Friday.

Vujacic has played over six of his eight NBA seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and was part of the 2009 and 2010 championship teams under Phil Jackson. The 6-foot-7 guard has averaged 5.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in his career, most recently playing for the Clippers in 2013-14.

you're trolling with that decent draft comment, right?

 

[TheGodFresco]

Just heard that Warriors just traded for Jason Thompson

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Just heard that Warriors just traded for Jason Thompson

Without knowing anything, I'm gonna say philly received a future second round pick in this deal. Possibly protected

 

[bronconation24]

Just heard that Warriors just traded for Jason Thompson

Pls... No

 

[nick.]

Thompson to GS

Gerald Wallace to Philly 

 

[TheGodFresco]

Warriors gave up Gerald Wallace, future draft picks and cash considerations

 

[pmatic]

Talk about a complete 180.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Great trade for the Warriors, basically traded Lee for Jason Thompson and a more salary cap space

 

[pmatic]

Also decent insurance if Festus and Speights go down and/or take a step back.

 

[dennistrane]

More big men and more picks to draft big men woohooo!!

In all seriousness,

I feel bad for Jason Thompson he was really looking forward to playing in Philly since he grew up right in South Jersey. I really wanted him on the squad. Wish we traded Carl Landry instead

Trust me, I don't think Jason Thompson is complaining about leaving the Sixers for the Warriors..... Gerald Wallace on the other hand.......
