NBA Basketball 2007-08: The Thread Part II

[phillyfan26]

The Sixers will trade Willie Green soon. Mark it down.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

so the knicks apparently not only still own the rights to frederic weiss, but today they traded those rights... for the rights to patrick ewing jr.

that's right.

 

[thetitans2k]

What a stupid fucking move for the knicks. Ewing Jr. is a bum. There's no more isiah to blame it on.

Aww, there's no need to worry. This was pretty much a PR trade by the Knicks. It gives them a chance to unload the useless Weiss. Plus, it gives the Ewing family a chance to achieve a nice little dream they had one day hoped for.

An added bonus is if Ewing Jr. makes the team. If the kid works hard enough, he'll be able to earn his spot on the roster.

why is it a "stupid fucking move" to trade the symbol of knicks futility, who isn't even under contract, for the son of the symbol of the great knick teams of the 90s, who probably won't make the team anyway?

if anything, as namckur said, it's a great symbolic PR move that is a no-lose situation... even if ewing jr. somehow makes the team, he'd make the NBA minimum. if he doesn't, it costs the knicks absolutely nothing.

as namkcur said?

That wasn't me.

 

[thetitans2k]

I guess it was an over reaction by me. I just don't think they stand to benefit in anyway.

 

[Got Philk?]

You guys are missing the bigger story here. The Knickerbockers traded Renaldo Balkman.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

as namkcur said?

That wasn't me.

no one ever said i could read.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

ESPN - Beasley fined $50,000 for involvement in Rookie Transition Program incident - NBA

Michael Beasley caught in hotel room with underage whores and mounds of marijuana.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

women and a feint scent of weed... underage whores and mounds of marijuana. you say po-tay-to, i say po-tah-to.

 

[No spoken words]

You say feint, I say faint, let's call the whole damn thing off.

 

[LMP]

You say feint, I say faint, let's call the whole damn thing off.

Your rain of spelling/grammatical terror must come to an end.

Holy shit, that was me.


Btw, Allan Houston is giving it another shot with the Knicks.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

they also brought in dan grunfeld... another nice little nod to the knicks glory days of the 90's... and how sad is it that things have gotten sooooo bad with the knicks that knick fans consider an era in which we failed to win a championship the "glory days."

walsh has like 49 players under contract heading into training camp... he has a ton of moves he has to make before the end of october.

 

[thetitans2k]

Starbury doesnt want to go away. As if they owe him 21 million dollars. He's such a piece of shit.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

apparently dolan refuses to let walsh buy him out for the full 22 million... which after the money they gave to larry brown, lenny wilkens, jalen rose, penny hardaway and god knows who else they've bought out under the reign of isiah, it's honestly just baffeling... but in a way, not.

my favorite moment from knicks media day...

Eventually, he was in constant contradiction with reality and himself. One moment, he insisted that he no longer cared what anyone said about him, that his spiritual awakening – an annual epiphany – made him “pray” for those belittling his greatness. He cared so little, he called out one New York basketball writer, Newsday’s Ken Berger, for aptly describing Marbury as “toxic” in the paper this summer.

At the end of his session, Marbury climbed to his feet and wrapped a creeped-out Berger in the most inappropriate Knicks hug since Isiah and Anucha. Marbury kept saying, “I’m going to pray for you,” in this strange, suffocating clench. And then, he left his teammates behind in the gym and walked toward a curtain patrician leaping into the air and pumping his fists to no one but himself. Once more, Marbury disappeared into his own world.

i wish marbury would pray for me

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[Hewson]

Opening night is gonna be pretty cool in Boston this season. First banner in a long time getting raised.
Should be another good season.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm excited too. And it will be here before we know it.

I'm really looking forward to watching Derrick Rose lead us back to prominence.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

good luck with that.

 

[impy13]

I'm really looking forward to watching Derrick Rose lead us back to being a 7 seed in the East.

Sounds about right.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

You will all be witness to the Reign of Rose.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
