sorry for another post, but hey it gives us something to discuss. spent alot of last night with the babcocks, heard some alright stuff.
ill have to share some vince carter stories sometime, rob told me a bunch of shit last night haha.
anywho...
Chandler WILL be traded by tomorrow, to the Hornets for PJ Brown and JR Smith.
Damon Jones is expendable and is on the block.
The chances of Iverson ending up in Boston are getting slimmer by the day. New rumors floating are Golden State, Portland, or maybe even Utah.

fool! there will maybe be 5 teams.... first of all they arent gonna send him anywhere in the west. so that right there cuts the field of teams down. i'm telling you if garnett gets shipped theres a good chance he'll wind up with washington. at the same time i heard that mchale had no plans of trading him.

you fucking moron. you say theyre overrated when they are one of the most underrated teams in the league. if you watched the things arenas has done as i have youd realize that it was an act of enormous disrespect not picking him originally for the all star game. that shows that theyre underrated, if they were overrated arenas and jamison both wouldve been picked from the get go by the coach/commissioner (whoever chooses it, i forget). and you have the audacity to vcome vback and fucking call me a moron, you fucking barn animal.

Want more, prick? Arenas gets no respect. NONE. He plays at an extremely high level every night, and the kind of calls that guys like Lebron and Kobe get EVERY time, he hardly ever gets. He slashes in and gets hacked and doesn't get a call sometimes. NO RESPECT = UNDERRATED.

playing at the level arenas does night in and night out commands respect, yet he isn't awarded any. What has Lebron done that Arenas hasn't? Why does he get every call while Arenas hardly gets any? There is no huge difference between the two except lebrons face is everywhere.

and yeah im not taking anything away from lebron, the guy is a phenom no doubt, but he gets a ton of respect (in the form of calls) that arenas doesnt get but should be getting. arenas is an amazing player, start watching more sports center and youll see waht i mean.

I don't know, Lebron's only averaging more Career PPG, Assists, Rebounds, Steals, Blocks Per Game, Minutes, FG %, less TO's, less Personal Fouls, while living up to and probably surpassing all the hype placed on him since his sophomore year of high school and becoming the face of the leauge. Nothing major.
Oh, and being one of the few people to ever average 25 ppg, 6 rebounds, 6 assists a game for an entire season. you know, Oscar Robertson type numbers.
And in their matchup in the 1st round Lebron had more PPG, Rebounds, Assists, FG %, made more shots, took more shots, oh, and beat arenas after Gilbert choked the series away at the FT line. but you know. none of this matters.
Gilbert Arenas is the best player ever in the history of the game.

No, you're ridiculous. You're making claims that the wizards are so underrated and that Gilbert Arenas is basically god and then you make a ridiculous thread about the red skins that is so ridiculously bias that it's not really even funny. Not to mention it's fucking the 1st week in July and if you're that wrapped up into the NFL you should step away from sports for a time being and take a break.
Then you tried to compare Gilbert's "heartwarming" story of leaving early and getting drafted in the 2nd round to lebron being touted as the best player ever coming out of high school and actually exceeding expectations.

as a sophomore in high school people were touting lebron as the number one pick once he graduated. the first day possible, nike signed him to a near $100 million contract. the league was banking on this kid coming in and having a jordan-like effect. a city near his hometown was thrown on his shoulder with hopes of him bringing some life back into the basketball team. he had expectations that are ridiculous to put on anybody.
and in only three years, he's exceeded those expectations.
arenas went to college. came out early. got drafted in the second round.
he's exceeded those expectations.
i see the similarities.

IVE ALREADY CONCEDED ALL OF THAT. I've said lebrons face was on everything blah blah blah, I just said it is also pretty cool that Arenas, who was pretty much the oppositie of that (no hype) has become as uperstar as well, thats all I'm saying dude, i'm nots ayign their stories are similar just that they are alike in their unlikeliness.

The Jazz and Golden State plan to pull the trigger on a four-player trade that would bring veteran point guard Derek Fisher to Utah. The Salt Lake Tribune has learned - barring an unexpected hitch - the Jazz will send Devin Brown, Keith McLeod and Andre Owens to the Warriors in exchange for Fisher. (http://www.sltrib.com/ci_4014237)The deal will be completed after Owens signs a free-agent contract with the Jazz next week (http://www.sltrib.com/ci_4014237) - a step that is necessary to make the trade adhere to NBA salary requirements.
In another development, another source indicated that the Sixers are among several teams to have contacted San Antonio about possibly trading for backup point guard Beno Udrih (javascript:newwind('http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/sports/14967882.htm','11')).
Sixers president and general manager Billy King has indicated he would be contacting additional free agents beyond Wallace and Washington's Jared Jeffries (javascript:newwind('http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/sports/14967882.htm','21')), who is restricted, meaning the Wizards have the right to match an offer from another team.
Rumors have surfaced about trades for Troy Murphy of Golden State, Marcus Camby of Denver, Carlos Boozer of Utah and Drew Gooden of the Cavaliers (javascript:newwind('http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/cs-060704bulls,1,5852502.story?track=r ss&ctrack=1 &cset=true','111')). Murphy, Camby and Boozer don't appear to fit the Bulls because they have multiple years left on their contracts. Gooden, a restricted free agent, would have to be acquired through a sign-and-trade, and it's unlikely Paxson would trade Chandler to the Cavaliers, an Eastern Conference Central Division rival.
In addition to dangling Chandler, Paxson might not be done free-agent shopping, though he no longer is pursuing Atlanta Hawks forward Al Harrington, the Bulls' backup plan had Wallace turned them down (javascript:newwind('http://www.suntimes.com/output/bulls/cst-spt-bull05.html','121')). Harrington, who has received interest from the Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors, has said he is almost certain that he will not return to Atlanta.
As for the Bulls' own free agents, forward Darius Songaila and guard Jannero Pargo might be following guard Eric Piatkowski out of town. The Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat reportedly are interested in Songaila, who previously played for the Kings (javascript:newwind('http://www.suntimes.com/output/bulls/cst-spt-bull05.html','141')).
The departure of Mohammed and Nesterovic leaves the Spurs without a true center, although Duncan will play some minutes at the position. The team also will sign 6-foot-10 Lithuanian Robertas Javtokas, a former second-round draft pick, but doesn't consider him a serious candidate to start (javascript:newwind('http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/stories/MYSA070506.1C.BKNspurs.mohammed.160 94d6.html','261')).
The Heat has had preliminary discussions with the agent for Eddie House, whom the Heat selected in the second round of the 2000 draft (javascript:newwind('http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/basketball/heat/sfl-heat04jul04,0,6952902.story?coll=sf la-sports-heat','311')). House rejuvenated his career with Phoenix last season, averaging 9.8 points in 17.5 minutes per game. Agent Mark Bartelstein said the Heat also inquired about two of his other free-agent clients, forwards Devean George and Darius Songaila. "Nothing is urgent right now," Bartelstein said.
Besides inquiring about inexpensive free agent options Eddie House and Jannero Pargo, the Heat -- seeking point-guard depth -- wants to take a look at 6-4 free agent Orien Greene (javascript:newwind('http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/baseball/14966052.htm','321')), who played in 80 games for Boston as a rookie last season

i figured i'd need evidence to proove you lebron lovers wrong.
oh and who has more rings? tayshaun, gilbert or lebron?
and lets not forget his game against north carolina in college...
or the one against the pacers where he stuffs reggie.
tayshaun is clutch. and more rounded. thus better.

wow. at first i thought it was a joke.
i hope you honestly don't believe prince is a better player than lebron.
put tayshaun on any other team in the league, he's irrelevant. put lebron on any other team and they're in the playoffs.
when all is said and done, lebron will go down as one of the greatest ever. prince will be forgotten.

alright. considering the dude who told you to stop is a diehard pistons fan.
yeah, lebron doesn't have a championship yet, but he's a million times better a player than prince can ever dream of being.
so, tayshaun prince is a better player than karl malone or charles barkley? that's a true statement then, right?
I'm actually excited for this.
Definitely. I love that Smith is included in this trade.

Hey, spaz, championships matter yes. But just because a guy won a title because he was on a great team doesn't mean he's the best player in the league. If that's the case then Bill Russell is nearly 2 times the player that Jordan was. or that Derek Fisher is 3 times the player Tayshaun is. So sorry I won't "get bent, son" because you fail to make any sort of sensical argument. Besides, 'son,' It's still Lebron's 3rd season in the league and he's already putting up numbers that Oscar Robertson put up, so quit being naive and trying to be "cool" like "Colin Farrell" was trying to do in this thread because you're failing miserably.
