Dallas Mavericks: Generations

It'd be kind of hilarious if the Cavs signed him just to throw dirty fouls at the Warriors.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

kind of interesting article about iguodala's free agency from yesterday

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20750344/andre-iguodala-was-verge-leaving-golden-state-warriors

quote:

D'Antoni discussed the NBA's new brand of basketball and his vision to push the pace on offense. He also emphasized improving defensively, highlighting a fearsome foursome of Chris Paul, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza and Iguodala as a switch-everything recipe to cover the league's most potent offenses.

one of those players is not like the others, one of those players just doesn't belong

quote:

Harden apologized to Morey for interrupting.

"That's OK," Morey said. "I'll always answer for you."

:3:

quote:

The Rockets didn't have cap space, so all that was available was their midlevel exception. They offered him a four-year deal worth $32 million. But Morey, a mastermind at maneuvering through the cap, began jotting down -- right there on the conference table -- lucrative sign-and-trade scenarios like a mad scientist, sources said. It was understood that this would be the lone route at persuading Iguodala to join the team.

One of the upsides of Morey having done all the CBA wizardry crap over the years is that he can do stuff like this in a meeting and it's credible

They gifted Iguodala with a personalized iPad with his name engraved on a Louis Vuitton case. The device's home screen featured him in a Kings uniform along with virtual tours of the plush Golden 1 Center and practice facility (with former Kings guard Doug Christie serving as the digital tour guide).

I want to see Captain Kirk and Ben Jordan (groan, who came up with that one?) again.

I sometimes still go back and watch highlights from that insane 09 playoffs series with the KG-less Celtics. I also enjoy watching the clip of Rip Hamilton pissing off DWade so much that Wade just floors him and takes the foul.

Good on you, Rip.

Some people say that the Spurs overpaid Patty Mills at 4/$50M but I know they lucked out that he didn't get lured away to a max contract from Thibs.

Johnny Flynn was 100% trying to draft the next Aaron Brooks, I think Kahn even outright said that. Flynn was even decent in his rookie year before his hip injury robbed him off the explosiveness. Condolences cavalier fans.

However! I did find a t-shirt with one of the possibilities the team could have chosen from instead of Pelicans: Rougarou
