I'm just praying that the blazers are trash this year(bulls fans should be to.) According to dude from clutchfans Lamarcus been trying to get to Chicago or Houston since the all-star break last year. He claims the deal was almost done for him to come to the Rockets but he doesn't know for who or what happened. Just that the robin lopez deal put it on hold...kanggoodie wrote: »Oden better smarten up.. take a pay cut with the heat now.. win a chip and then get his value boosted ten fold
it's crazy to think Oden has a chance to pick from the heat or the spurs....he had done nothing when healthy..ha ha
oh well wish him the best..
He averaged 11,8, and 2 in 09-10. His biggest issue is health, not skill -
Oden just don't wanna go to a team full of young players.
All that tweeter and facespace, and listening to Lil Jeezy and Blake. He too old for that ? . Needs a mature team.

you said he did nothing while he was healthy. I posted those stats to say otherwise. I never said anything about what he's going to do now all I said was his biggest issue is health not skill -

If the bridge between the Bucks and point guard Brandon Jennings has not entirely burned, at least this can be said: It’s fiercely aflame. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Jennings does not want to go back to play for the Bucks next season. -

Yep. How many years this ? been talking about "getting to a bigger market"? Thats why I think it's funny nobody wants his ass. Jennings is the classic example of a pretty good player that has the potential to be better but thinks of himself as a star when he's not. I remember meeting his ? ass while he played for oak hill. Nolan Smith was cool as ? though -
Man I cant wait till the season start so these salty ass laker fans can be even saltier when they team start losing

Metta World Peace has reached an agreement in principle on a two-year deal with the New York Knicks, league source tells Y! Sports. -
Eh..............at this point I'm not expecting much from this season anyway but, at least I know metta will bring some toughness and extra 6 fouls so melo won't have to gard sf all the time.

Bruh oak hills squad looked like some celebrities. High school ballers with Jordan brand sweatsuits. Nolan Smith had a blackberry and a treo on his hip and this was when smartphones weren't a regular thing. -
SMH Knicks' management doesn't know what they're doing. Artest is crazy trash!
If Artest gets more than 7th man minutes, Knicks won't make it past the first round. -

Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose tried to erase any lingering doubts about his readiness to play when he told reporters in Madrid that he will "definitely" play in the preseason opener.
"I should be able to play in the first game of the season," Rose told reporters at an adidas event in Spain, according to HoopsHype.com. "I know I'm anxious right now to play. My health is everything right now, it's 100 percent. But right now, the first game ... I will definitely be playing it."
The NBA hasn't yet released official preseason schedules so it is unclear who the Bulls will be playing in their exhibition opener.
Rose was criticized some, both locally and by national broadcasters, during the playoffs for not suiting up at all last season following offseason surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
"[Mentally] I'm just strong as I've been," Rose told reporters in Spain. "I had the time to think about what's important in my life, getting better on the court, watching a lot of film with [Thibodeau], asking him questions, talking to him about two times a week. ... So he's been kind of a professor to me."
Thibodeau has voiced his support for Rose, telling ESPNChicago in June: "It was a smart decision to wait. If you're not quite sure, and you're going to err, err on the side of caution. That's what he did. And now he feels great."
In their third preseason game, meanwhile, the Bulls will play the Washington Wizards in Rio de Janeiro on Oct. 12, the first NBA game to be played in the city. Rose called it "a big game not only for the Bulls but for the NBA."
"This next season is huge for us," Rose said. "We're definitely a contender for the title this year. I've been talking to my guys, trying to be more vocal as a leader, just texting them, calling them, just trying to communicate with them to let them know that I will be there next year."

I got Chicago the frontrunners to come out the east, Nate or no Nate I think that team is ready, no reason to believe Rose wont be himself, after Chi Town obviously I'll say Miami, Miami is at a stand still right now unless they made some moves I'm unaware of, last year they brought in Ray which turned out to be a critical move, but he's a year older Wade's knees are a year older, just hard to see that team 3peating, and if neither of those teams make it then it will probably a 100% healthy Cleveland

Cleveland coming out the East...in 2014....

had no idea Cj Leslie only weighed 200 pounds dats horribly frail for a power forward
