glowing-fish posted:Okay, so Justin Bieber really did meet with the Clippers, but the first story from last summer about Blake slapping him around is still a made-up story. The best Bieber story is when Orlando Bloom got into a minor fight with him and Leonardo Dicaprio cheered for Bloom on the side.

Kibner posted:How bad is Gal Mekel? It looks like New Orleans is thinking of signing him as a backup point. He could turn into a decent backup one day. Sometimes he shows flashes of being a decent player, other times it seems like the speed of the NBA is tough for him to deal with. His three point shot is ugly but his playmaking can be ok.

No one has mentioned it in this thread but last night Cuban got a tech. It couldn't be assigned to him so it was assigned to an assistant coach who actually has vocal cord issues that prevent him from talking loud. http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/da...e-rescinded.ece

Speaking of Rodman he had a few words about the Phil Jackson and the Knicks today. http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/12005863/dennis-rodman-rips-new-york-knicks-derek-fisher-carmelo-anthony "He didn't expect this. I saw him a couple of times on TV when I was in L.A., and I'm like, I know what you feel like, Phil. You came to be the savior and all of a sudden it's like, ugh. Then you went and got Derek Fisher. Really, is he coaching? Is Derek Fisher coaching? I don't get it. I don't know what's up with that team, man. You've got Carmelo and after that who else do you got? "They're not running the triangle. Derek Fisher's not really coaching. I know Phil is trying to throw his input in the background, but who expected this from Phil? They expected him, we're going to give you $15 million a year for the next six years and this team is -- wow -- they might not even make the playoffs."

I would expect Wade is going to be one of the few future hall of famers currently in the league that had a great career playing with only one team. (The only others at the moment are Dirk, Spurs trio, and Kobe.)

hitze posted:Who scores points on the Dallas bench? The better question is who is Dallas going to get to be their backup center? The Mavs just went from having Devin Harris as their best point guard to Rondo. This is a great day. It's too bad they had to give away Crowder instead of Jefferson. This may be the best starting 5 of Dirk's career.

Kibner posted:Dante Cunningham has been a revelation for the Pelican's bench. His stats may not look like it, but he has changed the way the second unit works. I think he may be the best back-up wing the team has had since before the CP3 days. I have not watched the Pels enough this season. I'm kind of shocked they beat the Rockets starting Babbitt and Rivers.

Rondo will be good for the Mavs because playing with Dirk/for Carlisle usually makes players better. It will be really interesting to see what the team looks like post all star break. Losing Wright stinks and they need to find another back up big. I assume they will either sign a free agent or try to make another trade. It's nice that the best pg on the team isn't Devin Harris anymore. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Dec 19, 2014 |

The Brewer trade was a solid move by Houston. It's crazy how good all the Texas NBA teams are at the moment.Libertine posted:I just wish they would get rid of the Raptors name and go with something more fitting of a non-Dinosaur-movie-centric era. It doesn't even look like a re-branding, it's the same theme, colors, look and feel, they just adjusted the claw to be scraping diagonally instead of coming out vertically. Raptors name is awesome. I hope they keep it forever. Igor Strelkov posted:The Rondo fit is not obvious. And Wright seriously fits as well anyone. It sucks that they added complexities to a system working so smoothly. But his defense, while not as good as it used to be, is still worlds better than any other 1 or 2 on their roster. And he adds more creativity to their non Dirk lineups that feature lots of bench players. I agree with all of this. Terry Glenn posted:If there's not a Jurassic World tie-in in Toronto this summer i swear to god. We better get a TNT playoff advertisement that mixes Raptors highlights with Jurassic World clips.
