Rockets making a run for Lebron and Carmelo

 

lol

 

riiiiight.

Melo maybe...and even then..he has to agree to sign there.

So far, Morey just dumped a big contract held by an effective player and has replaced him with air. We know Lebron is not going there..so he is taking a stab for one specific player. Not a great move.


Although..he uses the savings to add a better bench piece or another wing player such as Trevor Ariza/Luol Deng..then...you got something.

 

Would Patty Mills come join the Heat? I think the Knicks might sign him since Fat Felton is gone.

 

No. I think he fits the Knicks better.

 

What are D.J. Augustin chances being a Heat?

 

When the Knicks took Timmy Jr.

...

 

If I can help it....none. I will pick him up at the airport and drive him back to Chicago.

 

LOL, you know your basketball, I won't ever question your knowledge.

 

Who is Ersan Ilyasova?

James Harden is Better than Dwyane Wade.

Daryl Morey is a Genius.


Speaks for itself..doesn't it? THAT GUY..is THAT GUY.

 

Thanks Boik...and yes..I am still available for the GM job for your Knicks.

 

Houston is too ratchet for superstars of lebron/Melos level however is a perfect city for Dwight and j harden.

 

Saboteurs aren't effective if they make themselves known...

 

Section to me is basically Pat Riley using an alias, so that being said, no I can't question him, Pat Riley can make things happen to you if he doesn't like you, I fear God and Pat Riley on the same level.

 

You forgot Jeff Green

 

New guy for Wade/Bosh/Bron to yell at LOL

 

Curious what moves Washington tries to make to build off of last season - will be interesting to see if/what Gortat comes back for and what happens at the 3 when Ariza most likely leaves.

 

The only reason people even know who Daryl Morey is, or care about what he's doing is that Bill Simmons made a big deal out of him.

Seven years as GM, 3 playoff appearances, one trip to the second round.

And for all of his analytics love, he's now essentially trying to build a team the exact same way Pat Riley does, with superstars. You don't need much analytics to tell you that Howard, LeBron and Harden is a pretty good team.

 

Bovada has LeBron's destination at:

Miami - 1/4
Cleveland - 7/2
Houston - 9/1
Clippers - 12/1
Lakers - 15/1
Chicago - 20/1

They have Melo at:

Chicago - 1/1
Knicks - 9/4
Miami - 9/2
Houston - 5/1
Dallas - 10/1
Lakers - 15/1
Atlanta - 30/1

I threw a bit on Houston at 5/1 for Carmelo and paid for it by going after Miami 1/4 for LeBron. Worst I'll come out is breakeven.

 

Hey Sect, any confirmation on the reports that Miami is trying to trade up for Napier?

 

This might be the worst bet in the history of bets. A guy who doesn't play D is going to a defensive team with no cap space?

 

Someone will have to explain to me why Chicago is so attractive?

I keep seeing Derrick Rose as a positive which is laugh out loud funny. The guy has played 10 games in 2 years, but Wade gets knocked for playing 55 plus the entire playoffs.

 

Nope. I was told they love him..then spoke to somebody close to the situation that **** all over him.

Take your pick. Lol

 

I saw a mock draft that had us taking Patric Young, chances of that happening is what?

 

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/26/report-magic-trading-arron-afflalo-to-nuggets/

Afflalo is being sent to Denver for Fournier and the 56th pick.

 

Slim. Dont think they worked him out..yet..Heat workouts for whatever reason are ultra secret

 

This is Chris Mannix pick, in his latest mock. He must be speaking to Section 126

26
MIAMI HEAT
CLEANTHONY EARLY, FORWARD
WICHITA STATE, SENIOR | 6-7, 209
Miami needs depth behind LeBron James and some scoring punch for the second unit. Early is a superior athlete who thrives in an uptempo system and can score in a variety of ways.

 

Mannix has ears in the right places...will say that.

 

Yeah if they pick that guy, I don't care how he says it's pronounced, I'm pronouncing it "Cleanthony".

 

Every time I read that name, I can't help but read it as "Clean Tony", and then I proceed to crack up.

 

Oh he's going to be clean! He's going to be clean!

 

I vote we call him Mr. Clean if drafted.

 

With the first pick of the draft, the Cavs trade their first pick to the Heat for their 2nd round pick and Lebron stays in Miami, we gave them Ray Allen though.

 

Yea, that makes sense.
