RT @ESPNSteinLine: D-League just announced new experiemental rule: Will start assessing in-game technicals for flopping for rest of season

Best commish if he makes this happen.

RT @APkrawczynski: Interesting comments from Kevin Love to GQ. Says Wolves "have the better team, better foundation" than Lakers. http://t.co/P06Zwytsoz

I hope it burns your soul, Lakers-age.

This is such a boring trade deadline.

RT @mtokito: In last three seasons, #Blazers went 3-17 in games they played w/o LaMarcus Aldridge http://t.co/0MFC5vMDzG

:(

LBJ & Birdman took a big shit on Dallas last night

LOL. It's all Cuban's fault too.

@anthonyVslater: Kevin Durant: "I was just joking around with the Servant thing". Said to call him Kevin or KD.

Slim Reaper lives!

Also, remember when the Bargnani trade happened this summer and it was the most hilarious trade of all time and I still can't believe it was real? And then Knicks fans were all like NO HES SUPER GOOD HES BETR THAN NOVAK WHAT A GRET DEAL #KNICKSWINNING?

And then the Knicks sucked, and they were all like NOT HIS FALT HES GOOD and I was like "yes it is, he's garb" and they were like NUH UH.

Would you say his stint in toronto was worse, or hedo's?

Outside toronto, hedo was an nba player. But his time there? ...

i wonder if this can have animated avatars. I can't see why not. I'm not sure i excluded them.

in the mean time. :lol:

Damn, how long ago did GAF get rid of animated avatars? That was way back, like 5 years maybe?

Good shit, yall!

Yeah, would be at least 4 years ago if not more.

Need to steal pantherlotus's original animated SNSD avatar. Cause that was amazing.

Good shit, yall!

We need to get you a Boozer animated avatar.

No, not nearly that long ago. I'd say 2 years?

Good riddance, IMO. Unnecessary and distracting, even when they're good.

I don't think they were around the last time NBA-age got locked down. And that was back in 2012.

I think we'd all been on non-animateds for a while by then.

I don't mind them, but i think it's over used by a lot of people. you don't NEED it to be animated in most cases.

Good animated avatars are good, but most of them are bad, and when they are bad they are really bad.

I'm personally not a fan.

That is a tough call. It would take a true vomit connoisseur to fully tease out the subtleties and finer points of each one.

Hi, duders.

Me. And that dude in my avatar.

He is going to mess up everything that KD has built! :x

Has anybody PM'd Gucci the link to the forum yet? Should I take care of that?

Missed games thus far this season for LA:

Kobe Bryant: 47
Steve Nash: 41
Jordan Farmar: 30
Steve Blake: 26
Xavier Henry: 22
Pau Gasol: 9
Chris Kaman: 5
Jodie Meeks: 5
Nick Young: 4
Wesley Johnson: 1
Jordan Hill: 1
TOTAL: 191



JODIE MEEKS: Meeks said the ankle was feeling good, and he’s ready to play.

KOBE BRYANT: According to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant continues to have swelling and pain in his knee, and thus does not have an MRI scheduled in the immediate future. Bryant was last examined prior to the Lakers vs. Pacers game on Jan. 28, when a similar conclusion on the left knee where he suffered a fracture at Memphis on Dec. 17 was reached. His subsequent rehabilitation has been limited mostly to work on a stationary bike. Bryant recently addressed the media in advance of the 2014 All-Star Game on Sunday and gave another general update on where he’s at in his recovery and rehab process.

PAU GASOL: He’ll most likely be listed as “questionable” for Wednesday’s game

JORDAN FARMAR: Farmar is listed as “doubtful” for Wednesday’s game despite practicing in full on Tuesday. Farmar acknowledged the hamstring “feels fine,” and remains optimistic he will be back on the court soon.

XAVIER HENRY: Henry had his right knee drained of fluid and received a cortisone shot on Feb. 12, and expected to be out another four weeks.

NICK YOUNG:Young was unable to practice on Tuesday, and will not play against Houston.


Full story

We're tanking real hard.

That's impressive. We're holding Favors out right now, but I think we need to do something about Burke and Burks. They both seem due for some downtime.

Yeah Kobe should definitely just sit out the season.

That contract doe....LMAO

Has anybody PM'd Gucci the link to the forum yet? Should I take care of that?

LoL

Considering he's banned on GAF i'm not sure he'd even get it.


Also, thats some quality tanking, Lakers. Y'all never get to complain about the spurs and TD again.

Thanks for the PM, Seph.

This whole thing has been so weird and stupid.

We're tanking real hard.

this puts the pre-duncan year to shame.
David Stern's going to gift us a top 3 pick.
We coming for you Jabari.

That is a tough call. It would take a true vomit connoisseur to fully tease out the subtleties and finer points of each one.

Although Hedo was probably the shittier player, the impact Bargnani had on this franchise was far worse than anything I've seen. Any other GM would've dumped his ass early in his rookie contract... BC rewarded him with a big ass contract, guaranteed him starter minutes, and went as far as firing multiple coaches because of him. All this for Bargnani.

I get that. But i'd say Hedo's lows were lower than bargs.

And thats really quite something.

The thing is, if I could bring myself to look I'm sure I could find advanced metrics and efficiency numbers that show Hedouche wasn't a living vortex of human misery and despair.

We lost by 88 points last week and just got bodied by the Cavs.

and we might trade Turner and Hawes soon.

This isn't even our final form

fuckin aye,orlando is trash.
we're never going to catch up to them.

To strip all talent from a team always amazes me.

So the 76'ers are building on a core of Noel and MCW? plus what ever top5 they draft this year?

I'm assuming Thad Young gets traded soon in that.

I'm not saying Turner or Haws are great players, but i'm just not sure stripping ALL talent is a really good idea.

It's not even necessary unless they can get some good picks. Philly is getting a top 4 pick this year regardless of anything.

Thad probably stays.

Turner and Hawes are gone, not only for tank reasons, but because both can walk for free at the end of the year. Turner doesn't want to stick around a place that expects him to be something he's not...and Hawes is going to get paaaaid.

So they won't be back regardless, so might as well get something for them while you can

I'm not sure who is lining up to over pay Turner. I think his market value could be well within "well, his production justifies that" range.

Only other team that seems interested in him is the bobcats, and they're only interested if they can dump other salary. Not necessarily keen to splash out for Turner.

And that's before whomever THEY draft this year too.

Of course, this is assuming some sanity by GM's. Which is probably the worst assumption one can make in regards to FA's.

Turner started the year really well then went back to being garbage once the new year came/reality set in.

lakers can have the 4th worst record by night's end.

I think he takes the first ok deal from anywhere that isn't Philly.

He obviously hasn't enjoyed his time here as he constantly bitches about how people get on him for sucking.

If he would be willing to come on the bench for relatively cheap, I'd think about it.

Turner started the year really well then went back to being garbage once the new year came/reality set in.

Yeah.

But who are they signing to replace him at SF/SG?

If turner isn't toxic in the locker room, there's a lot worse you could do/get if you don't have to overpay him, on a rebuilding team.

Aminu, Buttler, Rush, Childress.

Or even worse, going all in on Ariza.

loss to milwaukee and then a blowout from cleveland?

this is the piece de resistance of tanking

Monroe having a terrible game.

But don't worry, Smith is right there next to him, to make Monroe's game seem ok in comparison.


Also, really Knicks. To the pelicans?

Why exactly do the Pacers struggle so much on back ends of B2Bs? They're pretty young.
