Lakers' bench kicked some Clipper ass!

Nets figured out the secret to success, feelings. Last year they did not feel good so they lost. This year they feel good so they will beat the Heat.

Bulls knows them feels to

I love the way the Nets are talking smack already. All I know is that they better win tomorrow

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Duncan has heart attack, doubtful for tomorrow.

NBA Tim Duncan has chest contusion - ESPN

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Ohhhh wow, hopefully Timmy gets better soon!

Melo wants to play for the Nets

He has stated he wants to be a FA and also that he wants to retire in NY...the Nets just became the front runner in landing another albatross!!! Well done!!



Kobe makes insane amount, still needs advance on paycheck

Not sure how he is broke, I guess he should have let his mom sell that shit for him.

 

[bksballer89]

Wouldn't they have to trade a few starters in order to get him? No way they have room for him with the current money they have invested in their starting 5

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Short answer yes, but if I understand the rules a bit, Melo could be traded for a player with a high salary and the Nets can make that trade as long as it lowers their salary. Melo would have to sign for a less than max contract.

The problem is even after KG and Pierce come off the books they are still in the luxury. Ok, let me amend that, they are in the Luxury with 3 players through the 15-16 season. Johnson, Williams, and Lopez tally $61m in salary.

MJ hasn't been tanking?

He is just that fucking bad at being a GM/Owner. Wow, that is impressive tbh.

Don't think you can do sign and trades anymore if you are over the luxury tax. Melo is staying with the Knicks. He'll opt out so that he can resign and get more money and that extra year on the new contract.

It has been reported that he has stopped eating fried foods and crab dip while not in his native Alaska.

It was also reported he lost a weight loss bet to Ray Allen who lost 10 pounds on a new diet. This is not a shock, no way Rio keeps up with Ray in discipline or in the gym...but back to Rio.

I inspected a few photo's of him from preseason games and my initial reaction was WOW!!! He looks like great, like you would expect a professional athlete to look like.

Next reaction was of LOL at pro athletes not understanding how a proper diet would improve their play. #Barkley

Obviously professional athletes can enjoy quite a bit more cheat meals that I can, but how can you not understand that putting regular gas into your Top Fuel dragster is going to hinder performance.

I think this will make a large impact on his defense, he should be quicker from toe to fingertips.


Side note, the Heat are taking this off season much more seriously than last one. Not having the Olympics helps but all I have heard from the Heat camp is how determined and in shape these players are.

Who would've predicted the Sixers to start 2-0 with wins over 2 projected playoffs teams in the east?

Tied with Indy for the 1 seed... but bring the person who said the Wizards are a playoff team so we can revoke their prediction card
