lakers need to fix the bench, and make the move for D12. Once we get D12 and he knows his role and mans up this team will win a few more world titles.

The reason Dwight is really pushing Brooklyn is, believe it or not, his shoe deal. Adidas has made it known they want him in a major market, and thats apparently why he won't go to Chicago, because Adidas doesn't want him in the same market as their number one star (DRose), since it wastes their star power.

PeteLFan · 07-05-2012, 02:37 PM

He will get better endorsements and money in Hollywood and also become a actor as well. Guy is surrounded by awful people.

Senator Clay Davis · 07-05-2012, 02:54 PM

Considering Adidas just paid DRose $250 million and Dwight's in line for a new deal soon, I think he recognizes who his daddy is.

Jeremy Lin agrees to four-year, $28.8M offer sheet with the Houston Rockets. NY will be matching this.

I was so excited with the Nash news, and then I saw Mike Brown's face - and all excitement was sucked out of me instantaneously

Jason Kidd decided not to rejoin with the Mavs and is heading to the Knicks.
$10 spread over 3 years, which will bring him to 42 years young.

LOL The Knicks are just the worst.

Funny how in LA Chris Paul and Steve Nash will be coached by Del Negro and Mike Brown. Ugly

bluejays · 07-05-2012, 08:37 PM

As much as I hate the Knicks, and don't really dislike Mark Cuban, I'm glad for once Cuban is put in a tough position where his team is being screwed over. Kidd is still a huge force even at his age - as long as he has a good surrounding cast.

Senator Clay Davis · 07-05-2012, 08:42 PM

The Knicks aren't really giving Stern a chance to fix another draft lottery for them because they keep thinking they're one player away from being a contender so they don't suck enough to get high in the lottery. Too bad that player is never coming.

Brandon Roy is going to try to make a comeback, reportedly agreed to a two year deal with Minnesota worth $10 million.

Does anyone remember when the Timber Wolves were actually relevant? Nah, me neither.

bluejays · 07-06-2012, 04:22 AM

I'd love to see Roy with the Raps. Just not at that price given his history, but as a backup, he'd be great. If what was rumored was true (that his knees were deteriorating), signing him as a backup to Rubio isn't a bad move. Gotta take some pressure of Rubio as well.

I'm a huge Kevin Garnett fan, so I actually followed the Twolves for a few years. Could care less about them now though.

flames_1987 · 07-06-2012, 07:57 PM

Twolves are a must watch on League Pass now with Rubio and Love. I really like watching them play.

Ray Allen to the Heat. Can't wait to watch the Celtics go down in the slowest, most painful aging ways.

Drake · 07-06-2012, 08:03 PM

Adrian Wojnarowski :

The deterioration of Ray Allen's relationship with Rajon Rondo played a significant factor in his leaving for Miami, several sources tell Y!

Allen believes the capital he's built up playing for UConn and the Celtics would supercede signing with Miami. He's probably misjudged that.

Privately, Ray Allen had insisted to people that he didn't believe the city of Boston would be too hard on him for signing with Miami.

One source close to Ray Allen said in past few hours, "Ray's thinking about another ring, golf, sun as a way to end his career."

As Y! had reported, Allen was angry w/ near-trade to Memphis at deadline. Too much acrimony to get past. Off to Miami for less money.

Drake · 07-08-2012, 10:54 AM

I want to bang my head against a ####ing wall. Kirk Hinrich has agreed to a two year deal with Chicago for $6 million.

PeteLFan · 07-09-2012, 12:57 PM

Looks like the Howard to nets is getting close to done.

Suave · 07-09-2012, 03:16 PM

Good article on the rise of Canadian basketball players.

I can't see this going down - the return for Orlando is horrible. I don't think you could pull off this trade in NBA2K12. At least Luke Walton could finally shed Kobe's shadow and run his own team now
