Egads, not the "jealousy" card. that one's been done to death...

Oh no...not Egads.

 

[LAD]

Ah, my birth month. she MUST be a wonderful child...

She's a bit of a smarty pants!

 

[Black Adam]

Oh no...not Egads.

Coulda went with "od's Bodkins". Too many Thor comics in my youth, i imagine...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Gotta be up early and I'm getting ready to nod off. I'm going to brush my teeth and get ready for Mr Sandman.

Later all.

 

[Black Adam]

Oh, then we DO have something in common...

 

[Heatles84]

How do we know that isn't you?

I see Wiggy's being classless as usual.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

The funny thing is...didn't miller follow LBJ to Cleveland?

Yep, like a lap dog.
I was shocked, because they aren't off court friends.
Memphis didn't want him back though and he wasn't thrilled about the Nuggets thing, multi year.
What got him there was the player option vs team option.


The year before he was creating back surgery stories after his amnesty because the thought of living in Ohio horrified him.

Couple of things:

Let's get this back to the actual thread topic (or keep talking about Wal-Mart). Also, quite a few folks got banned awhile back for posting peoples pictures without their permission. I don't want to see any more of that.

YES - THATS THE POINT! Miller took LESS money because him and LeBron are boys and LeBron wanted him here.

They are going to overpay Tristan Thompson some where between 2- and 4 million a year because him and LeBron are boys!!!

WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO PISS OFF YOUR MEAL TICKET RIGHT BEFORE HE MAKES HIS DECISION ON WHETHER TO STAY OR GO?!!!!!!

say whatever you want about Dan Gilbert- but he knows where his bread is buttered- his franchise value went up by a few hundred million when LeBron returned- he is leveraging his Cavs ownership into his businesses - including riding his good will to getting a casino law passed and owning the one in Cleveland! the freaking stadium is THE Q- Quicken Loans Arena- People ACTUALLY criticize Gilbert for making the best player on the face of the earth happy and getting him to come back! Those people have NO FREAKING CLUE how that effects not only the Cavs but his entire freaking operation from Quicken, to stuff like FatHead, the Cavs, owning the minor league hockey team that plays in the Arena etc....Gilbert does not have a SECOND thought cutting that check for all that luxury tax money because it all just amounts to good advertising in his multitude of businesses.

So, on the topic of the thread. Anyone else see where Porzingis may not be able to play in the summer league because he's hurt?

Knicks can't catch a break.

Exactly....

Yes sir!

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no one (Heat fan that is) has said that Birdman is the equivalent of Thompson - at least rebounding that is. Furthermore, I haven't even seen anyone even compare Dragic to Irving. Although my money is on Dragic finishing a season over Irving. Wade didn't have any knee issues last year, but he did tweak his hamstring. In sports, it happens, I did the same when I ran track and it was a bastard to deal with.

I said off the bench for 10-15M, that Bird can bring the same type of energy and rebound on par with Tristan.
No way can he keep up with him playing starter minutes.

I said Dragic is a better PG then Kyrie, not a better player.
Toss up based on situation.
I said Dragic is a better fit for the Heat roster and Kyrie better for a James roster.

So how would you categorize that "dear john" letter in the paper after LBJ left?

Saw it on another thread ealier. Some said at his height andweight(or lack thereof ), it'd be real easy for him to get injured...

[trojanfan12]

No. They said it was sore and he wanted to let it rest a bit.
