BAWSEbe reppin' the East Coast (Illmatic, Ready To Die and Reasonable Doubt). Didn't give a S/O to Pac, surprising considering how they look a like to some extent.

yeah but you also have to take into the fact that steve nash hasnt even played 2 games with the lakers. if steve nash never got injured i would say they would be above .500 right now, not top 5 in the west though. around 6th-7th seed, than they would click better around feb. Chemistry takes a bit of time, hopefully lakers will be clicking around feb-march.

Oh, I definitely agree. Losing Nash that early has truly hurt, considering their lack of depth at the PG position.

yeah, hopefully he comes back soon. I heard nash is coming back within a week, maybe even this saturday. I cant stand watching Morris play PG, and Duhon taking 30 foot 3 pointers with 20 seconds left on the shock clock

“His (Pierce) willingness to stick through the tough times and not just jump off, ‘I’m out of here! I’m going to join forces with Kobe (Bryant),’ or ‘I’m going to play with Dwyane Wade’ — that’s a shot right there,” Jason Terry said according to A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com.

Says the guy who went to Boston

Did anyone post up that article on D-Will? The author of it wrote it with the Ether instrumental playing in the background obviously

Says the guy who only changed teams because the Mavs didn't want to bring him back...

HeatWave · 12-20-2012, 03:08 PM

They would have but not for the amount he wanted...oh well

Brah, he signed with Boston for the MLE. JET has said on multiple occasions that he didn't want to leave Dallas.

And even then, comparing JET leaving Dallas for Boston to Ray leaving Boston for Miami is laughable.

HeatWave · 12-20-2012, 04:24 PM

Good for Jet to say that..fact remains he knew Dallas wasn't going to match for those amount of years..they wanted shorter

But for him to take a shot at a guy leaving to go to another contender for less is dumb when he went to another contender for more..

Ray had three offers as far as the public knows:
Boston was offering 3 years, 27 mil with a no trade clause.
Miami was offering 3 years, 9 mil.
Memphis was offering the full MLE.

Memphis was already out of the race due to Ray getting pissed because he almost got traded there during the previous season, so it came down to Miami and Boston. Ray was obviously not coming back to Boston due to his numerous off the court issues there, so ding, ding, ding...we have a winner!

Miami was pretty much Ray's only option of the teams that made him offers, so of course he signs there, and to make it better he gets to play with the team he hates the most's biggest competition.'

As far as JET goes, Dallas wouldn't even offer him the MLE IIRC. If I'm not mistaken, they were trying to lowball him and offer him cheap contracts because they were obsessed with bringing in Deron or Dwight or both. So JET decided to join another team...
