Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Redick nailed a three, got fouled and Smith got a technical. JJ converted both free throws. 5 POINT POSSESSION, MOTHERFUCKERS.

WOW: Melo to NJN

The Denver Nuggets and New Jersey Nets come to terms to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Nets.

twitter- denverchannel

They are the Denver ABC affiliate. Probably can't happen until tomorrow when the 3 way trade for the picks goes down.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Everyone in the know is laughing at that report. The Denver Channel is the only source that has it, which means it's not true yet. I hear a framework is in place, but no trade until they talk extension.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Melo scoffed at them on a local interview according to reports for assuming he agreed to the trade. All this will probably make sense after tomorrow

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Seems like the Lakers got
- Joe Smith
- Trade exception worth 5.5 million
- Rights to a Euroleague player
- 2011 2nd round pick that belonged to the Warriors
- 2012 2nd round pick that belonged to the Bulls
- Out of paying 9 million dollars of the luxury tax

That is all you can ask for when it comes to Sasha :

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

lmao @ Bynum & Yao being the top 2 Centers.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

To be frank, Pau should be called a C by the league office this season

C that make the team out WEST should be
- Pau and Duncan

West Forwards - Dirk, Durant, LO, and 2 more

* Melo could be gone from the west but if he isn't he should be guaranteed a spot as he has played well.

If Melo isn't moved, that pretty much leaves Love for the last spot, but Aldridge and Randolph should receive consideration over him (even with his crazy averages) if their records are 500 or better by then.

My Western Guards - Kobe, Paul, Deron, Westbrook, and Manu

My Eastern guards - Felton, Rondo, Rose, Wade, and Jameer
My Eastern forwards - KG, Pierce, Lebron, Smith, and Amare
My eastern centers - Dwight and Bosh (reaching here)

* starters in bold

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

As expected it ended up being a popularity contest. Pretty stupid. I'll just name starters for who I'd pick.

East:
C - Dwight Howard
PF - Amare Stoudemire
SF - Lebron James
SG - Dwayne Wade
PG - Derrick Rose

West:
C - Pau Gasol
PF - Dirk
SF - Kevin Durant
SG - Kobe Bryant
PG - Russell Wesbrook

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Why is Love the C? He hasn't played the spot this year, and would you really knock Dirk out the starting group when he is having his best year?

 

[PHX]

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

I don't have a clue why I thought Love was the center : and thanks for reminding me about Dirk which is a shame since he is on my fantasy team so yeah he'd be the starting PF. Guess I put Love there cause I really would like to see him get to start for having an awesome year so far. Guess I'd have to put Pau as starting C.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

God Damn, JR Smith had one of the greatest dunks I've ever seen.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

That was amazing and made me forget about Derozan's poster dunk not too long ago.

Nate still doesn't look right as a Celtic to me.
