This "race" thing as usual has been completely blown out of porportion.   I've always said Gearon was the bad guy in the group.  Danny should be back right now, it's his team whether the reverse racists like it or not.

Hoo boy, this guy. You're right, bud. Racism is a myth*! Everything about this whole saga screams "made up drama."

* except whatever the heck reverse racism is

As long as we're unearthing old threads, this little beauty is one of my retrospective faves. 

If they weren't going to go with my joke suggestion of Josh Smith (duh) then I actually would have preferred Danny Green to be the final entrant. I can live with a previous champion though.

Korver and Thompson already had a shootout this past summer, didn't they? And didn't Korver win?

Why didn't I think of that?!

Victoria's Secret, here I come!

This 3pt contest, GOOD LORD. It could be the greatest of all time.

I live walking distance from Barclays Center but tickets are like $400 for Saturday night. Such a tease!

Kevin Love would be a great fit in Atlanta (2016 FA)

Not sure I agree. Let's not forget that defense is half (HALF!) of the game. Love can shoot and Love would fix some of our rebounding problems, but does anybody see him playing the type of team defense we demand from all our guys? I don't.

Plus we don't need yet another PF. Gimme a sixth man-type 7-footer that rebounds and protects the rim and I'm good. Could even be a rookie. Willie Cauley-Stein anybody?

Early last season I remember giving Hollinger heck over the Grizzlies sitting in last-place out West in terms of playoff-odds ("Does Hollinger check the Hollinger rankings anymore?"). Safe to say they turned things around.

 

Also notable... at least for the moment, seventh-best lottery odds in the NBA!

TOTALLY forgot about our pick swap rights. You just made me realize that if the Nets bottom out by trading all their dudes... cha ching!!!

I didn't see this posted earlier in this thread but FYI, that Vikings board is back up. So that didn't last long.

something something something I hate Vick RAWR

 

something something something Don Imus is pretty cool though

Does that about sum it up?

Anybody know what time? I can get there in about 15 minutes and give him and his buddies a piece of my mind. :laugh:

I would think Ferry is done as a GM anywhere.

I'm sure Boston wouldn't mind him as an assistant or something. ;)

lmfao at this thread

Yeah, that'd be cool! It can't happen tho, 13 year olds don't know who he is.

Betcha 13-year-old girls do. :laugh:

Where is Kyrie Irving in these discussions? Behind a healthy Rose, he's the best PG in the East.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Good one!

Cavs about to Sign Wiggins.  That means all trades are off.

...for 30 days.

Edy is a bona fide rim protector. Anybody else remember that play against the Rockets where the caused an up-and-down traveling violation because he simply swallowed up that poor guard?

I'd love to see Bebe do that.

What if they asked for Millsap and Korver? Just a hypothetical.

What would you need in return and would you ever say yes? I don't think I would.

Or did you mean Millsap and Korver in addition to Horford? In that case, no thanks. That's way too much I think.

What, no celebrations?

I'd like to say you can tell who is in massive amounts of debt on this board just by looking at their impulse to free agency. Or who bought a virtual boy and sega dreamcast and all those other fancy game systems that bombed.

I liked your post, @hawksfanatic, but shut your damn mouth about the Sega Dreamcast! That thing was, is, and always will be amazing!

I think it's also important to note that Scott Brooks is quite possibly the worst coach of an elite basketball team in NBA history. He has no offensive scheme. None. He just rolls the ball out and expects Durant and Westbrook to carry the team on EVERY SINGLE PLAY. That works out okay for guys like Westbrook and Durant who are preposterously gifted, but for mere mortals (if you can call the average NBA starter a mere mortal) that goes over horribly. Put a guy like Sefolosha into an ACTUAL offensive system and he's going to flourish. Just watch.

How do you figure? Horford would still be playing center just like Noah will be in Chicago. We still have Milsap last time I checked who is entrenched at PF. Gasol would play both PF and C minutes in both places.

So not only do you know for a fact things going on in Ferry's head but you also can predict the future in alternate universes? That's amazing!

I'm actually sold on Monroe now.

I took a look at his position-by-position advanced stats, instead of his overall advanced stats, and he looks even better than his supporters are saying. I didn't realize it before but last year he played more at the 4 than at the 5, crazy as that sounds.

When you look at his stats as a pure 5, he's great at offense and actually not bad on defense. Where he struggled was when he was stuck guarding 4s, probably because he's not quick enough. But with Al at the 4 he could concentrate on being a pure 5.

Bring him home, DF!

I understand these guys gotta keep producing content, but how you gonna seed the East before Lance Stephenson and Greg Monroe sign somewhere? And there's a not insignificant amount of talk of Eric Bledsoe ending up somewhere over here too.

This is pretty much meaningless.
