They need to bring big Z out of retirement, he deserves another title run... don't tell me he can't sit on the bench, that's how Juwan Howard magically got a ring.

[Funktipus]

DeAndre Jordan is having second thoughts..

Yep. DJ is sticking with the Clippers. I'm pretty damn happy and I'd like to thank JJ Redick for calling the team out.

[MLGTA]

Got to say, I've lost respect for dj. This is worse than lebrons "decision" at least he actually went to miami. I'd be furious if I were cuban.

[GTA3Rockstar]

You can verbally agree to go somewhere all you want but until there is papers with signatures on it, it means nothing.

[Zello]

That was pretty unprofessional for Deandre Jordan

[Jonesizzle]

No more unprofessional than Cuban spouting his mouth about Jordan's contract. He spoke too soon.

 

LeBron signs another two year deal with a player option for the second year. Why do I get a feeling LeBron wants to bring a championship to Cleveland and then split again? If LeBron wins a ring within' two years, then I see him fleeing to New York or Los Angeles.

If that's the case I'd say LeBron is full of himself though he kind of is already. He's becoming like a mercenary. He'll go wherever there is a chance of a ring.

 

Also the whole DJ thing isn't nearly as bad as the decision. This is the first time he's ever been in a situation like this. I just wonder now with Chandler Parsons calling him scared and what not if he's going to step up this season and be even greater and maybe finally get that all star appearance.

[GTA3Rockstar]

Nah, I bet LBJ will finish out in Cleveland.

[Jonesizzle]

Doesn't everybody want to go play for a chance at the title? People follow LeBron; LeBron (in your analogy) would be the guy hiring mercenaries. In other terms, he's a smart business man, you can't win a ring by yourself and regardless of who joins him, or vice versa, that's what majority of the legacy is in a basketball players career.

 

 

People will know who Robert Horry is before Steve Nash 10 years down the road.

Clippers add Josh Smith. On paper they got a nice second unit going on now. Hopefully it works out.

[Jonesizzle]

On paper and on the sticks, yes, but a name means only so much when it comes down to play on the court. It'll be hard to argue, as of now, that they're close up there with the Warriors for being frontrunners of the West.

[MLGTA]

As of right now I think it goes

1.Spurs

2.Okc (if they can stay healthy)

3. Gsw

4.Houston (Ty Lawson trade just changed things)

5. Clippers

Dark horse is Memphis

 

Also, I'm liking the moves Boston has done after the draft.

I'd say they're a top 3 seed, along with GSW & SA.

my guess is klay

[Jonesizzle]

KD is saying he is 100 percent. I hope Durant, Westbrook, Kanter and Ibaka stay heathly. The Thunder have the potential to dominate the West, I just hope it comes full circle, otherwise I think Durant will dart from OkC in the foreseeable future.

[Funktipus]

Darryl Dawkins passed away at age 58.

 

Should have been better than he was - despite his size, he settled too much for outside shots instead of owning the paint.

 

I'll always remember him squaring off against Maurice Lucas in the 1977 Finals.

 

RIP Chocolate Thunder

I always remember as a kid seeing highlights of him shattering backboards... plus one of the coolest nicknames. Rip Chocolate Thunder.

and they still have steven adams.

[DMC14]

04-05 suns in 2k16 WooHoo. Finally get a suns historic team to use in 2k. I was thinking this would be good for my team but all the better players from that team were all ready available as onyx cards anyway.

 

fingers crossed in the next couple of years (2016 i think) Barkley's contract from that stupid nineties game will be over and barkley will be able to be used in games again (thats my understanding of the situation anyway).

 

less then two weeks and 2k16 drops for those that pre-ordered.

 

Sorry if this should be in games section.

[Jonesizzle]

What system do you play on? and why the hate for Steven Adams?

[DMC14]

What system do you play on? and why the hate for Steven Adams?

 

Miss understanding, im a steven adams fan, and i felt he should be mentioned when talking about the better players on the thunder roster. i love the way he reacts when someone hits him, he's not shocked or angry, doesnt jump up and down and carry on. He just looks down at them and you can see him thinking "pfft, my sister hits harder then you".

 

What do you have against him for not mentioning him? jokes no need to answer that.

 

Im on xbone and i rarely leave the aussie servers. What about you? 15 days.
