NBA OFF-SEASON 2008 (Draft, Rumors And Transactions)

[theGoodBoy]

Magloire is a nice pick-up for Miami. There is a chance he could start at center if he plays like his old self, but I heard Spoelstra is leaning on a Haslem-Beasley-Marion trio starting frontcourt.

That is actually a fast lineup.
C - Haslem
PF - Beasley
SF - Marion
SG - Wade
PG -

However, wala pa klaro ila PG karon. Are they going to "bank" it on Marcus Banks? or let rookie Mario Chalmers do some point work? Sayang lang jud wala nila nakuha si Jannero Pargo, pero pang-bench lang jud siya.

They can something interesting to that lineup kung interesado sila ni Delonte West... or gamble "gamay" ni Shawn Livingston.

5.5 million a year for ben gordon seems quite small. lets not all forget this dude is a super sub. he's the kind of player who can contribute 20-25 points a night. 5.5 million offer is an insult. if i where ben, i tried somewhere else. I think chicago is not the team for ben gordon.

Actually, naa ra sa $5-10million ang range ni Ben Gordon. He wanted $12million a year, which is more than the so-called "market-value" of the NBA. He can shoot, yes, but so does everyone. The Bulls have fire in Luol Deng as well as rookie Derrick Rose and veteran Larry Hughes. Moreover, there is not much value for an undersized 2-guard who loves to shoot so much.

Dili sad ka-offer ang Bulls ni Gordon sa iyang ganahan to avoid luxury tax as well as for future considerations, like next offseason with more star players coming off their contracts.

Ang naa lang karon ni Ben Gordon is to either sign the Bulls' qualifying offer sheet, which is $6-7million for one year only (aron makapangita siya ug bag-o na team after) OR sign with CKSA for $5-6million/2-4 years (pero naa siya player option at the end of each year aron makabalik sa NBA).

Both options are still in Ben's favor (for me). Sayang lang sad to iya gi-turn down ang previous offer sa Bulls na $50million in 5 years. I guess he wants supahstar moolah.

unsay updates sa oklahoma "lolo" thunder? unsa kaha itsura sa ila jersey?

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER LOGO LEAK!!!

Some possible explanations?
1. Murag pang minor league baseball
2. or murag pang-WNBA
3. naa lang kaha usa ka tawo nga way lingaw unya nag-buhat2x lang ug iyang logo aron makabaligya
4. secondary logo
5. MAO JUD NI ANG LOGO...

If Miami re-signs Chris Quinn, it's going to be him starting at the point. Mario Chalmers hasn't played a single NBA game yet and he's already been thrown out of the NBA's Rookie Transition Program after being busted for marijuana possession. He has the tools to be a starter but this is not the best way to start his professional career.

If it is indeed the Oklahoma City Thunder, what happens to the Warriors' mascot?

[ManWhore]

the Heat is very desperate to have a legit center who can DIVE a loose ball, go back to defense BACK-STROKING (back pedalling actually, lols) and fly like a BUTTERFLY!!! These features they can get from my idol, "The Mermaid" MICHAEL PHELPS!!!

New report casts more doubt on Ellis’ story–It’s time to come clean, Monta

Monta Ellis is in some deep trouble now.

He should’ve known that this would happen, he should’ve anticipated that if his ankle injury–and reportedly, the abrasions around it–looked like a motorcycle injury, then people would wonder about any explanation that he hurt it in a pick-up basketball game.

I don’t think Ellis will be released or taken to court, unless his injury is career-threatening (and that’s a whole other monstrous can of worms for him). But I don’t think the injury is career-threatening.

I think the Warriors still are counting on him down the road. I don’t think they’re going to write off his career. I know they’re not going to do anything that drastic at this point.

But this is a big deal. A HUGE deal. And Monta would be best served if he and his advisers finally realize:


If he has lied, it is time to stop lying. If he wants to be trusted, it’s time to be start being worthy of that trust. It’s time to come clean.

Marcus Thompson II first reported that the Warriors had serious questions about Ellis’ explanation after the Aug. 21 injury, which probably will keep Ellis out at least through December.

Now, the crusher: A new ESteinPN report this morning, which details information from multiple sources that Ellis’ injury does not appear to be similar to any kind of basketball-related damage.

[theGoodBoy]

What a waste. Ellis was one of my main targets for my fantasy league and I would have picked him in the 2nd or 3rd round.
