Yea i thought i was only getting a hundred lol. Got a little wiggle room now.

You must have gotten refills before OR they upped it to 200 instead of 100.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah because u forgot about the other 2 statements I made. U just point out 1 of the 3. So yes u are the one that is butthurt. I gave you props.

You're slamming every move every team makes. It's like you're having an e-tantrum. And disliking someones post just because you disagree is a bitch move.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Exactly. No one is expecting him to be Shaq. If he can cleanup some of the kids defensive mistakes and get in the neighborhood of of 10 and 10...he'll be a decent upgrade over what we have been getting from the center position.

Exactly but most on here are saying he'll be a 5 and 5 guy.

at 38 Dirk's STILL their star. says a lot...

Is everyone assuming it a given that Dirk stays?

I heard the Warriors were interested along with a couple other contenders. If Cuban continues to strike out, Dirk could go too.

He wont be a double double guy. Look at his career stats. His best season was when he was 27 and went for 10pts and 6 rebounds. He isnt going to have a better year then that at age 30.

could be you have something there. and it ain't like Dirk wouldn't want one more ring before he hangs 'em up...

That has to settle all doubt over past discussions here.
And, it wasn't like just 1 team wanted him. He was coveted.
He basically was classy enough to limit it to 2, so he had his leverage with Riley.

 

[DJ Fieri]

at purguy disliking this post. The way he's trying to bash every move other teams make...I think he's butthurt that the Bulls are now in teardown/rebuild mode after failing to live up to expectations.

This.

that lockdown situation last season for DeAndre Jordan looks like the Clippers flat-out CLOWNED his ass...

could hear CP3 saying "there's only ONE way you're gettin' outta this room, DeAndre"...

I get upgrading to the newer, younger model....From Tyson to DeAndre.

But, do you have to alienate the incumbent before you get the new fish reeled in?

He's done it to Tyson twice, Rondo, Ellis, now Parsons.

I get they didn't want Rondo and Monta back.

But, his arrogance towards Tyson and Parsons makes me laugh.

If Bazemore is getting 18 million.,Parsons is Damn well getting a max.

He should go to Warriors.

Nobody would blame him, not even Mavs fans.

Despite his continued sacrifice, Cuban can't do shit to help him.

No im not, please check again. I gave props to the Nets, miami and Raptors. Only team I said did a bad job so far was Lakers and Knicks. Please know what you are talking about before you jump on someone. If anything I been giving props to teams more then bashing them.

He should be able to improve his numbers with more consistent playing time. Even if he gets 10 and 6, it's an improvement over what the Lakers have been getting from that position. I'd expect that part of the reason for the signing is that the Lakers just drafted Zubac who was a projected 1st rounder who fell to them in the 2nd round.

Part of the reason for signing Mozgov may be about helping develop Zubac.

I don't think anybody is saying that.

Personally, I think he can get 12 and 9 if healthy and playing 30 plus minutes (big ifs there). Even if he does, that does not mean he is helping the team win. He is a post defender/rim protector in an era when post defense is almost unnecessary. I don't think his 30 year old knees will allow him to be a good pick and roll defender, so I think he will end up being a negative on that end.

Since his 12 points are not likely to be super efficient and since Mozzy takes up so much space on the offensive block, he is not really helping the Lakers offense either.

Moz is a solid back up center getting starter money on a long term deal. That is tough.

No the Bitch move is not saying the whole statement and pointing out 1 thing. That is the bitch move. I gave you props and actually cheers with you because you were right about the 1 thing. U dont mention the other 2, so yes you are the one with the bitch move and now you are bitching some more. Funny stuff.

keeping this guy on the Heat's roster was HUGE imo. gonna be interesting to see what else Pat Slick can come up with for you guys...

[DJ Fieri]

A little petty but Jack should be happy imo.....some team will target him and pay him.

Really can't add.
Wade will stay, but then we start subtracting.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Time to blow it up, same with Memphis.

If Memphis keeps Conley, adds Parsons....they look good healthy.

Don't get either....time to go
