what the fuck is that? Rockets are so bad it's ridiculous.

The lockout fixed nothing.

He will have to learn to play at a certain speed and level much different than he did before.

Also not like he'd be playing in back to backs.

it lowered the cap so big markets can no longer be good/interesting. basically, they want everyone to suck equally. why? because even with big markets always getting big time free agents, small markets could still make great teams through the draft. that is no longer possible, OKC is the perfect example. they drafted so well that they can't even resign all their talent because the luxary tax would fuck them in the ass.

They can re-sign all their talent if they amnesty Perkins IIRC, but the rest of their team would be shit.

Perk is a fat POS anyway. Move IBAKA to C and start 'GAME CHANGER' Nick Collison.

Westbrook
Harden
Durant
PERRY "THE SUPERSTAR" JONES III
Ibaka

sounds awesome.

The Hawks rejected the Lakers offer of Pau Gasol for Josh Smith, because apparently the Lakers wanted to add another "big name" to the deal, I'm guessing Horford or Teague.

**Magic** · 07-01-2012, 07:28 PM

it was obviously Marvin Williams.

or maybe we tried giving them MDP as well.

(how does the cap even work with the Pau/Smith trade, we're both over the tax so someone has to be added from their side).
