Fuck the lakers.

^^Nah, not much you can read into a 1pt loss. Just ask Knicks fans Besides, Lakers fans can always rely on Phil to figure out what's going on.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson suggested that Artest’s foot ailments stem from the sneakers he wears. Artest has an endorsement with Peak, a Chinese company that also outfits the feet of teammate Sasha Vujacic and the Mavericks’ Jason Kidd.

“I called his shoes concrete boots for about the last month,” Jackson said to ESPNLosAngeles.com. “Those shoes look like they’re made for the Hudson River.”

Jackson added that the shoes affect his play.

“He stays with them and he gets his feet worked on but he does not move really quickly,” he said to ESPNLosAngeles.com. “He looks like he’s clogging around out there.”

After recent discussions with Amar’e Stoudemire’s(notes) agent that didn’t appear to destine a contract extension, the Phoenix Suns have increased their efforts to trade the All-Star forward, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Sunday night.

League executives say the Suns have become more active initiating talks over the past few days, and believe the franchise will take the best offer for Stoudemire before the Feb. 18 trade deadline. The Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets and Detroit Pistons are among multiple teams that have a strong interest in Stoudemire, sources say. The Arizona Republic reported Sunday night that the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers have also inquired about Stoudemire.

it would be a stupid idea to trade him. wait til the off season, if it doesnt work then do a sign and trade.

[EDouble]

who said the other wk that cavs lost games on purpose 2 get lebron in 03
who believes that shit

 

[yak pac fatal]

their old coach said that they intentionally tanked games to increase their chances of drafting lebron.

fuck you richard jefferson, you suck.

who said the other wk that cavs lost games on purpose 2 get lebron in 03
who believes that shit

its pretty common in sports to do that.. not rare.

 

[roaches]

who else do you think has seriously tanked? i haven't had my coffee yet but besides the cavs right now i can only think of the heat a couple of years ago.

 

[Kobe]

LOL @ the way he takes it to Magic. Great to see my fav team link up with Obama.

yak pac fatal I also agree with the sign and trade deal as well for Amare.

I thought that even though a team ends up at the bottom, there is no way to guarantee it will get the 1st draft pick. Or how is the 'lottery' designed? I know the worst team has a higher chance but not a guaranteed chance. Either way, if it's true, it worked for them and, they beat the system. They are currently a franchise with an awesome player and, now they need to do their best to hang on to him.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I said sports, not too sure in NBA but it makes sense that if the lowest teams get better chance at picks they'd do it to get that chance. It happens in football here, its pretty obvious thats what they are doing but not much you can do to stop it.

 

[yak pac fatal]

you may have the worst record in the league but its not 100% you get the first overall pick. basically tanking increases your chances, just look at the nets. theyre traded jefferson/carter for nothing. if the nets end up with the 1st overall pack theyll draft john wall and then trade devin harris.

i remember there were reports that lebron was practicing with the cavs before he was traded and these werent draft workouts.

Who's the dude that refused to go to the white house last year after his team won the superbowl? lol, He's like "If we wouldn't have won the superbowl, we would never have gotten an invitation to the white house, so i'm not going..."

lol.

Adam looked baked.
Again.

<3 Shannon Brown.

 

[Killuminatii 71]

Can't wait to see the dunk contest. I missed today's game again.

[Shadows]

Fuck. I missed it. Shannon Brown had those dunks on lock.

 

[raywaters11]

Damn, the dunk off the missed free throw reminds me of Iverson's dunk similar to that one during his first stint with the Sixers. Brown gets up, effortlessly.
