Yep I like Kidd to NY. He can start alongside Lin easy and would be the best defender 1-3 on that team, probably 3rd best rebounder behind Tyson and Melo, and best ball handler and passer. Heck he even shoots the 3 better than Fields.


Pau made a YouTube vid and damn near cried after the Nash deal, lol, as the management said he is off the market as is Bynum as they think they will all compliment one another. That guy is a bit of puss but damn he loves being a Laker, and I can't help but like that. Ron also went on a espn radio rant talking about they going be winning some more rings and being in his own words AHMAZZING!

I still do think Mayo and Kaman benefit from Hibbert and Gordon not being matched.mthey could easily go fill their roles at a cheaper rate with little drop off

Still got to LMAO @ Cuban
- Break up title team for Deron, denied
- Pursue Nash, denied thanks to your own TPE
- try to kiss Kidds ass, denied as he takes less to play in NY
- Have Dragic not even keep his meeting with you in favor of PHX

Feel bad for Dirk but damn it's funny looking at Dallas. Them and Houston got a shit ass group to pick from. Fat Felton, I shouldn't have opted out like the Lakers warned me Sessions, and Lowry now can't be had.

They are going to have to overpay Sessions or Felton or trade for Falderon or Jack LMAO

Dallas looking pretty fucked right now. Lost all those important pieces to that championship team, Odom thing was a total failure and didn't get or won't get any of the guys they targeted to get in the offseason. Imo they should go and try and push hard for Lin to at least come away with something and get any leftover excitement left from the whole Linsanity thing.

Linn will go to the Rockets unless the Knicks match the sheet. I'm excited for Nash to LA, and he's getting into recruiting Howard to LA.

I dunno... I think I'd still prefer Bynum over Howard. Just something bout Bynum seems like a better fit. Just as long as he stays motivated.

Bynum's younger, he's just as good defensively, and he's better offensively than Howard, I'd talk Bynum over Howard any day. But like you said, he has to be motivated. And personally, I think that's holding him back from truly being dominant.

Lin should end up back in NY. Kidd signed to be a back up, and since Nash didn't work out for the Knicks, there no way they let Lin get away.

Can Dallas go after Dwight? That may be a saving grace for them. It's not looking good for the Mavs. Things are looking great for NOLA, LA and the Nets.

Dirk has complained today after Kidd signed with NY about not being down for rebuilding.

And not really a shot at Dwight as they only have Dirk, Haywood, Marion, and Vince. They literally blew their championship team up and got a bunch of expirings last year for some Deron pipe.

Andrew isn't as mobile. He can be exploited on pick and rolls all day. That said, he is is better than Dwight at two things

- Isolation scoring
- One on one defense

His numbers favor him over Dwight as a one on one defender and one on one scorer which isn't shocking as Phil was always a one on one d guy over team (Kobe, Fox, Ariza, Artest), as well as one on one scoring with cutting and spacing.

I wasn't denying he was a better scorer at all or wasn't a solid defender but Dwight is easily the better overall defender as he alone can alter a whole team's offensive game plan.

Yeah I agree there. Dwight is just more mobile. Andrew is also the biggest guy in the league, which just makes him slow and exploitable as opposed to Dwight

What Dirk say? Can't say I blame him way Cuban handled this team after the title win was horrible pretty much banking on getting Deron and lost value team pieces esp Chandler who was the last guy they needed to lose outside of Dirk.
