It's gonna be pretty funny when Lebron leaves to go back to Cavs.

I hope he does a tv special and does a Drew Carey TV show Cleveland Rocks announcement.

I see LA as a better option than a return to Dan Gilbert.

Lakers don't have cap room though I thought.

Re: NBA 2012-2013

when he's a free agent in 2014, LA will have enough cap room to sign three LeBrons.. Only player they have on the books that year is one year 9 mill in Nash or Howard as well if he resigns. Which odds are he will aside from all the rumbling you hear..

i thought nash signed a 2 year deal? wouldnt that mean he would be off the books as well? or did he have an option for a 3rd?

Re: NBA 2012-2013

Re: NBA 2012-2013

the thing that really sucks is whats keeping us from going after chris paul is kobe's ****ing 30 million dollar contract...

Odds are Kobe won't play next season and if he does it won't be at 100%. Using the amnesty clause on him makes business sense.

I'm not trolling you, just thought it was funny...maybe it was a Freudian slip?

relax punchy, just pointing out the TNT guys aren't as "biased" as you think since everyone, including the man himself, said he's playing like Cleveland LeBron since his teammates have disappeared

Birdman suspended for game 6!!!!

Re: NBA 2012-2013

It's about time they did something about this ****

 

[Wake]

The problem I have with this was since there was no ejection during the game, the Heat got the benefit of Birdman basically manhandling the Pacers knowing the refs would let it happen.

This is the problem I have with the NBA. If the Heat had lost, Birdman would not have been suspended. But because Stern can now stretch this out to 7 games, plus all that extra revenue that even a single extra game can bring, and up the ratings, he suspends Anderson.

I almost never post in this thread. I am neither a Heat nor Pacers homer nor hater. But it's this kind of stuff that makes the NBA wearisome at times.

Personally I can't wait for Stern to step down or die. Linsanity was fun. Linsanity brought a whole lot of people who weren't interested in the NBA into basketball. It wasn't just because Lin was Asian, it was because finally something in the NBA happened that didn't seem prepackaged or prescripted or manipulated to entice more ratings. I think you can have competitive and fun and fan interest in the game without the occasional draft manipulation and the all too frequent referee manipulation.

A player in the NBA can't rise above his predesigned and prepackaged marketing designation unless he can sell Stern more shoes and more merchandise. No matter how good a streak he's having, he just won't get the calls.

The game just isn't fun when you know 90 percent of the teams in the league will have close to zero chance of ever winning an NBA championship. Maybe a Pistons or Mavericks right before a labor war to keep the historically non elite teams pacified.

Stern is done this season. His successor is already in place. So you won't have to ensure long.
