He the one posting his bank account on a basketball forum?

yup
And no one even asked for it

Oh yeah someone definitely asked for it.

Y'all just love to hate don't you.

Keep doing it.

No one cares what you have
Your opinion is still trash sometimes

Thanks for your opinion about me.

You know what they say: opinions are like ********. Everyone's got one, but some stink more than others.

Holla!

 

[EddieDoyers]

I can agree with that

 

[whiplashtw03]

He hasn't been right on anything though outside of there being actual days of the week on a calendar. I really hope he just disappears after tomorrow, but that's too much to ask.

Just remember that you marked your calendar like I told you to do and you kept a close eye on Monday and Tuesday.

Too bad you not privy to VIP at the barbershop, otherwise you would've known what I found out Friday morning, the same day I told you all to mark your calendars, and one day after Jeanie made her big decision and told certain people in the know last Thursday.

Keep hating though.

 

[whiplashtw03]

Good.

Magic and Bird get reacquainted as Lakers look in on Pacers star Paul George, sources say http://es.pn/2m9T6vv
via @ESPN App http://es.pn/app

"As for the possibility of more trades from the Lakers before the deadline, sources say Johnson is far more likely to move a veteran such as Jose Calderon or Nick Young than anyone from L.A.'s young core."

 

[dceja]

So it sounds like pacers are trying to get a star player before they trade pg

 

[dceja]

Mamba coming through with the sources

 

[Lizakers]

Thank goodness, no rash moves with the core

 

[whiplashtw03]

I sense a 3-team trade could be in the works...

Going to be another boring trade deadline.

No big names will move. Role players and draft picks will be the only thing that moves.

Just hope we can move Nick.

Houston deal not official yet, brewer may go elsewhere with another player coming here...?
If so
It was posted

Lakers shopping Swaggy for a 2nd rounder.

 

[tonelow]

Houston still looking for wing/backcourt depth after getting Lou.

Maybe they just add Nick to the deal for one of their extra seconds.

 

[lovehateself]

Offense really gonna be BI slim

 Nick + Brewer for 2nd round pick

 

[sohi 23]

They could trade NY for a trade exception & a 2nd right? That way they wouldn't have to bring any salary back.

I used to hate NY so much but I don't anymore. Dude really worked hard this year. Gave great effort on defense and played better than I expected. He's matured a lot. Wish him nothing but success & I really wanna see what he can do with his 2nd chance in the playoff stage.

That being said, ship his *** out. I need 25 shots a night from Dlo & BI.

 

[Lizakers]

If we trade Swaggs for a pick, Magic and Robbie are off to a great start

Full on tank mode

like i said before if magic can ship young out before the deadline i will never say a bad word about magic again.

Time for a new 2k squad

 

[whiplashtw03]

Every single one of you praying for tank mode won't be too happy come the offseason when the basketball gods decide to bless the Lakers with the 4th or 5th pick and it ends up going to Philly.

That #2 pick we used to pick DSlow wasn't even supposed to be our pick. We got lucky and moved up that year because the ping pong ball bounced our way. We were supposed to draft lower than #2.

You people actually think the Lakers gonna get lucky 3 years in a row with a top 3 selection? LMAO

It don't work like that. It always balances out. 

 

[purpnyellow]

Are we making a trade or not?

 

[whiplashtw03]

Chances are likely, if the other team doesn't ask for too much (or Ingram). B.I. and Zubac would be the sticking points, obviously.

Let's read between the lines, shall we...

Carmelo Anthony said today when asked about the possibility he could be dealt: ""Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course," Anthony said. "I'm sure that I'll know, that I'll have information as it starts unfolding, if something unfolds. As of right now nothing is on the table right now."  Meaning:  Don't count it out that something can MAGICally unfold.

"Though his relationship with President of Basketball Operations Phil Jackson has been strained, Anthony said the Knicks know how he wants them to proceed in trade talks.  ' I mean, I think as far as understanding, I think both parties are very much understanding of each other, myself and the front office, ' Anthony said. ' I think they know and understand how I feel and what I'm thinking, and I think I know what they're thinking. I try to figure that out. But those guys understand and know how I'm feeling, what's on my mind, and what I would like to see happen.' "

In other words, you can surmise that Melo stating both sides (he and Phil) understand each other and what each other wants means that Melo has already told Phil which team (city) he would waive his no-trade clause for and it's up to management to make the deal and contact him once the deal is finalized. This week, it's been reported, albeit quietly, that Melo's "preferred destination" is Los Angeles. Now is it the Lakers or the Clippers? I'd say it's probably the purple and gold, especially now that Magic is on board.

We'll see tomorrow.

We'll see tomorrow.

His bestfriend is Chris Paul.

He's 32, 33 years old.

He's coming from a losing situation in NY.

Even if what you're saying is true about Melo, nothing suggest that it would be the Lakers. Literally not a damn thing.

And CP3 will most likely opt out this summer, especially if the Clippers get bounced out of the playoffs again which is highly likely.

If Melo is a Laker by summertime, the Lakers will be a much more attractive destination for CP3 to opt out and unite with his best friend.

Remember, the Clippers have nothing, no attractive assets, zero, zilch, nada, that Phil wants.
